Why Men Use Such Horrible Photos in Their Online Dating Profiles, and What Women Want To See Instead
After devoting lots of time and effort to crafting the perfect online dating profile, it’s finally time to sift through the myriad of men’s online dating profiles to find a match. But, if you’re like a lot of women, once you start the process, you probably come across more than your fair share of less than appealing profile pictures, causing you to wonder why a guy would ever post such unappealing photos of themselves.
At that point, you may even jump ship until the next time when you summon the strength to try again. Though most guys don’t realize it, there are a few reasons why men use such horrible photos in their online dating profiles, which even they may not be aware of.
When it comes to online dating, that story should be true
If you’ve ever been close with a man – a romantic partner, a family member, or a platonic friend – you may have observed how a lot of men don’t like to take pictures. At least, they don’t like to be in pictures. They rarely, if ever, ask to take photos, so on special occasions, such as vacations or when you’re both all dressed up, you’re often the one to make the dreaded request. And even then, the man may only begrudgingly oblige, offering a half-smile.
So, what photos does that leave men with when putting together an online dating profile ? Not many, which is why so many men wind up with the notorious “Where’s Waldo” giant group photos in which the viewer can’t figure out who’s who, pictures of them dressed up with their ex cut out of the photo, and other images they took years earlier. Worse still, men may not even include pictures of themselves and, instead, resort to vacation landscapes and photos of their pet because those are pictures they do have.
