If you chose Tandem Effect, you probably value honesty as we do. The same goes for choosing your photo album and, in particular, your main photo. We try in this article to break down modern myths about what attracts men and women, and this, giving you some of our tips for making this choice.
Attract more attention
Once the profile characteristics are defined, the choice of a recent photo is of significant importance. You should select it wisely. The photo should be of quality, well framed, tasteful and without too much frills.
A careful presentation always catches the first glance. Let us emphasize the word “presentation”, which has nothing to do with the word “exhibition”. The reality is that ease and natural simplicity are more attractive for a person looking for a healthy, serious and lasting relationship.
Opt for a recent photo
Present yourself as you are today and not as you were 10 years ago. Assume your weight, wrinkles and baldness. Be aware that there is nothing more irritating than deceptive appearances. So, yes, by deciding to post a picture of yourself minus 30 lb, you’re taking the risk of creating disappointments and frustrations.
Focus on authenticity and transparency. Be proud of who you are. Demonstrating your self-esteem can be very engaging.
Stand alone in a well-framed photo
Willingly choose a photo in which you are the centre of attention and, ideally, standing from head to toe, smiling. Yes, everyone likes to look at the bigger picture. For this reason, avoid a photo of yourself taken in the middle of winter, wearing a beanie/hat, scarf and coat.
Group photos, taken at your workplace or where it is obvious that you tried to wipeout a person’s arm with Photoshop, are irrelevant. In fact, the focus will inevitably be on what details or tricks are, not on you.
Our intellect also tends to be wary. In this sense, if you only offer plans of you on the side or half of your face, doubt subconsciously settles in the other who will tend to think that you have s things to hide.
Appear pleasant and put together
Once you’ve chosen your main photo, complete with three or four more photos of you doing activities you love. It’s certainly amusing to see you on camels, but it’s certainly bad form to see you the gold of a drunkenly watered evening or wearing a Speedo that hides nothing of you. Show restraint when it comes to posting compromising, degrading or sexy photos. Modesty is the best press.
The additional photos on your album are intended to present aspects of your personality in context, such as playing the piano, reading or walking in the mountains. Despite our best efforts, there will always be people willing to make inappropriate remarks, despite the neutral and appropriate content of your image. However, it is up to you to decide what you will do with it.
The myth about beauty
Did you know that most men prefer women au naturel? It is wrong to believe that men and women only look at physical characteristics. Moreover, women place less importance on beauty than men, according to the Léger Happiness Index. What is interesting is that honesty holds the upper hand for both sexes.
Make no mistake, attraction is essential. But remember that it offers itself in several aspects, such as intelligence, assurance, honesty, ambition, humour or attentiveness.
