How can I choose the best pictures for my dating profile to attract potential matches?

Smiling in pictures increases likability and portrays a friendly, welcoming demeanor.

A genuine "Duchenne" smile, where the corners of the eyes crinkle, is found to be more attractive.

Selfies can be perceived as less trustworthy, so limit their usage and vary poses and angles.

An ideal number of pictures for a dating profile is between 6-10, allowing a well-rounded representation.

Chronological organization of pictures helps potential matches see your recent activities and appearances.

Close-up shots and wider shots should be balanced to showcase both facial features and overall appearance.

Pictures that highlight hobbies and interests can act as conversation starters and display your personality.

Fish pictures in dating profiles are considered a turnoff for approximately half of singles on dating apps.

Poor-quality photos (blurry, dark, or far away) can deter up to 70% of women from swiping right.

Group shots can be confusing; it's best to be front and center in your dating profile pictures.

Research suggests that showing off your adventurous side in travel or hobby photos can increase attractiveness.

Including pictures from cultural or historical landmarks can spark curiosity and discussions.
