As an online dating consultant, we have spent more than 5 years helping folks, across the world with their dating profiles, app choice, bios, photos and appearance.
Our goal is to help relationship-focused individuals improve their chances of meeting that special someone online and offline. In addition to photos, we work on all aspects of a profile to make sure your photos will be used effectively alongside your app choices, bios, etiquette, prompts, answers and other existing photos. As a dating profile expert, we provide guidance on realistic expectations based on your demographics, opportunities for improvement and highlight the areas for improvement to minimize self-sabotage.
There is a lot of bad advice and conflicting recommendations out there regarding dating profiles, bios, messages and dating app options. Many articles (like the apps themselves) are focused on engagement metrics (argument, discussions, likes, matches etc.) and not results (meeting quality people, having good dates).
Some of this advice is written by people who are or have been single for a while. Other advice comes from biased sources that either want to be sensitive to your feelings or come from different circumstances and demographics (looks, height, weight, energy, wardrobe, socioeconomic factors, location, outlook etc.).
One example of this bias is advice from attractive friends. An attractive person who is in shape has much more wiggle room in terms of being judged with respect to self-deprecating photos than the average person. Also, friends usually have context with your photos that strangers do not (are you marketing yourself to friends or strangers?)
While self-deprecating photos show confidence, ability to laugh at oneself and ability to show a raw, candid side to you, if not done properly it can backfire. This coupled with a small sample size bias, is enough to set people down the wrong path.
For those seeking exhaustive feedback on their entire profiles (not just photos and bios), are new to online dating and need help to create a profile we offer online dating profile critiques virtually.
