Your Profile Photo Is Worth a Thousand Words
A quick scan of the reader comments on eHarmony Advice will show you that one of the most common topics of discussion is PHOTOS. Most opinions concern three issues.
- Does posting photos help my chances of success on eHarmony?
- How do I upload more photos or better photos?
- How do I get my matches to post more photos?

Photo Nudge
This new feature gives you an opportunity to reach out to a match who has sparked your interest and say, "Hi. I'm interested. Please post a photo." The match you choose to "nudge" will get a friendly notice that you would like them to upload a photo. The notice includes a link to expert tips on which photos work best and how they can easily upload a photo file. We're confident that a word from you will give your matches the extra motivation they need to choose some great photos and get them on the site.
How to Use Photo Nudge
When you open a match's About Me page, you will either see their photo in the upper left corner or a placeholder that reads, "Request My Photo." To send a Photo Nudge, just click on this placeholder. Your match will automatically receive a nudge, and you'll see a date stamp that indicates when you sent it.
Photo Upload Wizard*
This new feature asks you a series of questions and then uses your answers to suggest the best photo option for you. It takes all the guesswork out of getting great shots on eHarmony.
Photo Max
We've decided that 4 photos just aren't enough. The new Photo Max feature will let you upload up to 12 photos in an easier-to-use, zoom-friendly format. One of the keys to success on eHarmony is letting people experience the real you and the details of your life. Now you can use more photos to give your matches a wider look into the passions that make you unique.
You've probably already posted some headshot photos. Now it's time to get creative. Go ahead, post that shot of you singing your lungs out at The Police concert. Upload that photo of you in your cheesiest Halloween costume. If a photo is worth 1,000 words, you will soon have 8,000 more ways to share yourself. *The photo upload wizard is currently available to U.S. customers only.

or click on the "help" link on EH pages and type in "can't post my photo" in the "how can we help you" box.
Hope that helps you figure out what's wrong!

February 15,2010 at 06:49 pmI hate it that people can see my photo but I cannot see theirs. This is a deal-breaker for me, and I will probably not renew my subscription because of it.

May 16,2009 at 10:11 pmI agree with being able to be patient for a pic. If it is posted right off hand you will undoubtedly be judged by it. But holding out on the picture to long will make the interested start to feel as if the other is hiding something. Alot of people find insecurity unattractive. I am I guy and I agree with the woman who say some guys jump straight to looking at the pic and not reading reading the profile, not giving anyone a chance. Physical attractiveness isnt just what our eyes see, but what our mind and heart see.

May 15,2009 at 10:02 pmI believe being able to see who your talking to is very important. Despite how hard we all try to say that the exterior apperance doesnt matter, the truth of it all is that it really does. Now when I say this I dont mean that everyone wants to date a super model. Everyone has different taste and finds different types of features attractive. If you are not physically attracted to youre partner the relationship will not work out. I know that sound harsh and I dont mean to offend and I'm saying its all about looks, but its the truth and we all know it but dont want to sound shallow. I know that I'm not the best looking person out there, but who is? No one can answere that question because we all have different taste. The sooner we all come to realize that everyone is beautifull in someone elses eyes, dispite how we feel about our selves, the better. Who is anyone to judge what anothers eyes see?
