It is time to review our profiles and see what we can improve in our exposure in the arena of love for mobile applications. Bumble One of the most relevant apps on the subject of match finders found some things in common for the most successful in love 2.0. One of them is that profiles with more than 4 images are 70% more likely to achieve a positive response.
These are 10 recommendations to choose the photos to show on your profile.
1. The main thing in the photo should be you
You probably have that super funny photo from the wedding of your friend “Ana Sofi” or how good your hair looked that day at the office conference, but if in that photo you go out with other people the focus of attention can be lost , so you and only you must be in the photo, at least in the first one you have on your profile.
2. If you use all six photos, the better
Showing a little more of yourself, beyond the seflie helps to feel closer in this way. For Bumble that allows you to use six photos for your profile. According to Bumble data, the use of four or more photos in the profile increases the chances of a match by 70%. If you try for sure something good will come out.
3. Trust the camera’s self-timer
Everyone has a selfie, but if you use the timer on your cell phone and create a mini photo session, it will give you an interesting margin to create interesting things with your image. Those photos will surely be the most natural.
4. No more selfies in front of the mirror, please!
The photo in the bathroom, in the gym or in the elevator must end why? According to Bumble, this format is not as successful, since those photos in front of the mirror are the ones that cause the most people to swipe to the left, that is, the fewest positive responses. That technique doesn’t work for this purpose. You better take the photos with the self-timer.
5. Dress your face with what makes you look better: a smile
It might sound cliché, although including photos of you smiling is very relevant. A warm and natural smile causes much more attraction than other gestures. No more photos in which your face is hidden behind sunglasses, caps or hats, that thing to do to the artist will not give you fans or potential partners.
6. Balance and context
This might seem like we are talking about a neuroscience thesis, but your profile should not reflect who you are, so your photos doing the things you like the most (traveling, cycling, cooking or playing with your pet, etc.) those moments are great, so far so good, but it is always important that you can appreciate your appearance: face and eyes. Who falls in love with who can not identify?
7. The quality of your photos is important
Sure you love the photo of your graduation or that afternoon at the Cola de Caballo on your vacation in Monterrey, yes, but you took it with your first BlackBerry, clearly you can’t use that photo anymore. A good photo taken with your cell phone is enough, it is not about having a photographic studio image, but now all equipment stabilizes the photos, so there is no excuse for pixelated or blurry images in 2021.
8. Use current and real photos
It is not an immigration procedure, but the ideal is to use recent images, ideally they are 6 months to date, leave the filters where your skin looks like wax or with Pokemon effects. The best quality is authenticity.
9. The key is consistency
Make sure you look basically the same in all of your photos. People have become hyper-vigilant towards scammers and sensitive to being fooled by photos that do not match, if there are any in which you look significantly different, that could make the potential match think twice.
10. Friendship is friend: let him choose your main photo
Many times we have a perception of our own image, but the first photo may not be the one we choose, it is worth the critical and accurate eye of a close friendship. Trust their criteria and put the photo you select, either with your dog or using the colors that best suit you. The most important thing is that you show your authentic self.
