What should I pay attention to when selecting photos for my profile?

Whether it's a snapshot from your vacation, a shot in your evening gown, or a photo of you pursuing your hobby, you decide where and how to present yourself best. However, you should submit current photos where you can be easily recognized. Photos where a baseball cap casts a shadow over your face or sunglasses hide half of your face are not the best choice.

A good profile picture is important in representing yourself and gives other members the first visual impression of you. The decision to have a further conversation is made based on this first impression. So, show yourself in the best possible light and increase your chances of communication. Please choose a portrait photo where your face can be clearly seen for your first photo.

Take a photo where your face is clearly visible - smiling attracts attention and leaves a positive impression.


Don't hesitate to show off your "sweet smile.
