Research shows that men are 14 times more likely to look at a female profile with a photo, and women are 8.5 times more likely to look at a male profile.

Include 3-4 photos with at least 1 full body shot. Sometimes, singles are reluctant to show their body because they are uncomfortable with their size. Remember, the person is going to see you eventually.
You want the person who is attracted and accepts you as you are.
And who wants the anxiety and possible disappointment of meeting someone who thought you looked different? So post a great full length photo of you.
Want to look thinner?
Wear one color in the body shot as it elegonates the body and can make you look thinner. So wear a top and bottom in the same color or a solid colored dress for your full length photo.
Finally, make sure the colors are solids or thin stripes only. In photos, busy patterns can often be distracting and take the focus away from you. What you wear should be the frame and highlight you. You want to be the focus of the viewer and not what you are wearing.
