"Choosing what pictures to include in your online dating profile is a big deal. Most people want to present a decent mix of flattering, fun and relaxed photos that showcase the best of you. But there are some in particular that should be avoided at all costs, experts say. A team from dating app Wisp asked 1,200 people for their biggest photo red flags that make them swipe left. The survey revealed 83 per cent of singles judge profiles on photos before reading a single word of your personal bio."
"For men, gym selfies top the list with nearly two-thirds of women branding them 'cringe' and 'show-offy'. Close-up selfies are also seen as 'unflattering' and 'off-putting', while bathroom selfies left women unimpressed. Sunglasses in photos, blurry snaps and group pictures - where it's impossible to know who is who - were also classed as red flags. Other no-nos include shirtless pictures, ones where an ex-girlfriend has clearly been cropped out, men posing with cars and selfies with messy backgrounds."
"The number one offender for women was also gym selfies, the poll revealed, with 59 per cent of men saying they were a turn-off. Overly-filtered selfies were also a red flag, with men complaining they made profiles feel 'fake'. Yoga poses were the third biggest gripe, followed by horse-riding snaps which were deemed 'posh and unrelatable'."
A survey of 1,200 people found 83% of singles judge online dating profiles by photos before reading any bio. Gym selfies ranked as the top photo red flag for both men and women. Other common turn-offs included close-up and bathroom selfies, sunglasses, blurry images, group photos that obscure identity, overly filtered pictures, yoga or horse-riding poses, messy rooms, shirtless shots, cropped ex-partners, and men posing with cars. Photos therefore exert strong influence on matches and require careful curation to present flattering, natural, and varied images.
