There are so many ways to attack the subject, but I will focus on your profile picture here. It is one the most important details in your online dating success. Yet, most people tend to over look it. Here's the reason why. Humans do not like looking at themselves in pictures because we are by nature able to notice our imperfections. We rather not look at it and just throw it up on the net. By doing this you will be making a huge mistake.

Do you know how many times I have seen a guy take a picture with a camera phone? And I don't mean a good quality one either, it's one that looks horrible. Let me tell you this, your chances just went from 99% failure to 99.9% by making this mistake.

First off, a girl will not take you serious if you take a picture with your camera phone. Also, it sounds childish, but please smile in your picture. Ever since we've been children, we have been told to say "cheese"! Same goes for your picture you put up to attract girls.

I won't recommend putting up a picture of your ex and yourself, just cropping her out of the photo. In most cases this is noticeable due to where her hand or cheek may be in the picture. That's a big..no no! I advise you to use a recent photo. Putting a photo from years before when you were in the best shape of your life will ultimately come back to get you. Be happy with the way you look now.

Last but not least, keep your shirt on guys. Stop with the half naked pictures. If you have muscles, put on a shirt that will complement it. Don't just take it all off to fast. That may be your overall goal but don't rush it. A girl doesn't want to chat with a guy who is already underdressed before the first message is sent!
