Positive Photos

You absolutely need to download positive and up to date photos. People generally scroll straight past profiles without photos and saying you’ll provide photos on request can seem arrogant, like you expect them to jump through a hoop before discovering what you even look like, and that is off putting. You should use a recent and natural photo (that is, not Photoshopped or heavily filtered). Choose a couple of photos you like where you look your best, but anything not entirely honest (for instance an old photo where you look younger or slimmer than you do now, or one that’s been edited to create that effect). Don’t deceive, neither yourself nor other people.
