The biggest mistake that many guys make is not smiling!! And even if people say.."ohh...but I don't smile well..."....It's so easy to see it in someone's eyes...
..and some of us really don't smile well at all. i have small teeth and have to strain really hard to show them (makes me wonder why i even did the braces thing at all). in the end i feel its better to give a facial expression you're comfortable with instead of smiling just because.

I always get told I'm better looking in person than my pictures...but I would be the first to tell anyone that I'm not photogenic AT ALL. Pretty horrible problem to have when trying to do the online dating thing.
I get told the same thing as well. I think most guys who meet me are surprised (in a good way). Yeah, not a good thing with online dating, that is for sure.

I don't think guys should necessarily "smile" as much as not scowl. I've seen one too many death stares on profiles.

As I wrote....it's all in the eyes...even if you show absolutely no teeth...When someone is happy...doing something they love...or hanging out with friends or family....That's when people should be taking pictures...

Sorry...but I worked as a photographer for over 10 years....I shot tens of thousands of students and adults...Everyone has a great 'smile' and can show happiness...
