I can post a copy of my profile if need be, but I was more concerned if my mix of photos are good or not. I tried to pick ones that show me out in everyday life and nothing staged (like taking a picture of myself) and add them to my profile. They are the most current ones that I have also. I want to have more than a couple for my matches to look at so that they can try and see my personality in my profile and then see more of it in my pictures. So fire away


Here are the links with the picture descriptions as I have them on my page

I'd lose the wedding pics - the first one is not flattering to you and the second is dark and distant. Also lose the last rafting pic simply because it's redundant.

Overall you've accomplished exactly what I need with the pics - I can see what you look like and if I had to meet you, I'd recognize you. As for determining personality - that's what dates are for.

Very true. Is there a certain one that you would say would be good for my main picture?

The Ole Miss v. Bama one I like the best - you are not wearing a hat, looking straight at the camera and it's close enough that I can see you clearly. If you weren't an Alabama fan I'd say you are cute.

I agree with the others suggestions and would get rid of the redundant ones and the ones that are a little less flattering (the wedding ones).

The only other piece of advice I would offer you if you wanted to make them even better would be to include a picture where you have a more natural smile (i.e. caught slightly laughing). I think the ones you have already are pretty good, but if you had a picture like that it would only help you. I only say that because I will admit that I personally tend to find myself engaged by profiles where someone has at least one picture where they look genuinely happy to be photographed, i.e. where their eyes are almost smiling and they look like they are having a good time.

If you don't have a picture like this I wouldn't sweat it, but I always that kind of picture inviting and appealing.

Thanks for the response

Yeah, sadly I don't have any pictures like that. I'm lucky to have the ones that I do because I'm usually the one taking pictures, haha. I do agree though and do think I need some where it's not a hey let's take your picture type. I do think candid pictures do show more emotion and would like some like that. Great suggestion!!

I liked all of them. I think it is a nice touch to add one of you at work.


Good luck
