Why single men don’t know how important their photos are to attract women
There is something I have wanted to talk about but I didn’t and I couldn’t because I knew that you wouldn’t want to hear it.
But as a matchmaker, I have to tell you about it today because I would like you to meet someone great.
Some single men seem like they don’t know how important their photos are when they join online dating services or matchmaking services like our OzMatch, an Australian and Japanese matchmaking agency.
We have a few new free basic Australian male members every week and I check their bios and photos. And quite often I have to ask myself “WHY?”
Why did he send this photo? How did he believe this photo would attract women?
He is not smiling. He is wearing sunglasses. He is wearing unfashionable clothing. His hair is not combed. The room is dark. It’s just wrong.
By the way, if you are not wearing a shirt, OzMatch immediately deletes your account or sets your account to pending. Seriously.
“He looks much nicer than his photo” is not a compliment
‘We held a virtual speed dating event in September and every lady who joined the event said the same thing. “OzMatch male members are all nice and gentle!”. Every lady was very happy to meet OzMatch male members and we have nine new couples from the event’.
The above quote is what I said in our blog and everything I said was true. But there is something I haven’t written yet.
Our ladies said “They were much nicer than their photos” And some of them continued “ If I didn’t meet him and talk to him in person at the event, I wouldn’t choose him as my OMIAI ( a first date) partner.”
Do you understand the meaning of this?
I believe that some of you may have had experiences of an online dating service. When you met a potential partner you were disappointed because she looked much nicer in her photo than in person.
Her photos could be over-edited and maybe dishonest, but she succeeded to get your attention and at least she got a chance to show you who she is.
I am not encouraging you to fix your photo with over-editing, but you need to appear with a clean shirt, with a warm smile, good lighting and a nice background.
I’m not talking rocket science here. It’s very simple but many men seem like they have no idea what women want to see in your photos.
Please remember that “You look much nicer than your photo” is not a compliment if you are a member of any dating service.
Imagine that you are the owner of a chocolate shop and your chocolate is the most delicious in the world but looks ugly, the stranger will never buy your chocolate because of the way it looks.
“Your chocolate is much nicer than it looks” is not a complement. If you are an owner, you have to make your chocolate look great, too.
