How to Interpret a Profile #2—A Picture Really is Worth 1,000 Words

Last week we looked at how the “about me” section can actually work against someone, and how you can spot the red flags. Pictures, on the other hand, seem pretty straightforward, right? You like, you don’t… what’s complicated about that? Not so fast. There are plenty of shady tactics in this most popular section of the online profile. For example…

  • No picture? Click “not interested.” That person is hiding something… or from someone.
  • Old photos: red flag. Some people only post old photos, often from as many as ten or twenty years ago. This is a sign of insecurity.
  • One-trick-ponies are the people who post many photos of essentially the same thing. Look for people whose photos convey an actual life (not all bathroom selfies from one five-minute selfie-sesh). Let your intuition guide you when you see the selection of pix before you.
  • Photos with “toys” the only ones posted? Interesting… or shallow? It’s great if someone has a cool motorcycle, boat, nifty guitar collection, or a house full of antiques, but that can’t be all there is… can it?
  • What to look for: Look for pictures of someone with a well-rounded life, involved in a range of activities. The best are unobstructed by other people, sunglasses, or costumes, and up-to-date head and body shots without “props” such as a fancy car or boat.

Yes. You want to find something appealing in the face, the posture, the smile, but there’s obviously more to it than that. Self-esteem, habits (social and otherwise), level of effort, and commitment to the process—all these and more are discernable from a few photos. Sign up for your complimentary session with me and we can talk about this and so much more!

Can’t wait to hear from you so we can get you on the path to love ASAP!

P.S. Next week: the hardest part of the profile to interpret bar none: what do you want from a relationship? Gulp. Don’t worry. I’ll help.

What Clients Are Saying

I feel stronger and more confident than I did before.

Before I met Betty, I was lost. I was giving up on love and I have tried everything else but a Dating Coach. What have I got to lose? She is a lovely, down to earth person who wishes me the best always. I have learned a lot from her and I am still learning. She made me feel better about myself even though I am not at my best right now. I feel stronger and more confident than I did before. She is my safety net and I know she will help me through this long road I have ahead of me. She has taught me to understand what a relationship is and what it could be. – Karen M.

Betty Had Me Dating Within 2 Weeks

As a 59 year old nurse I spend my days caring for others. Then one day it hit me that I need to take care of myself and figure out how to get the relationship I hoped for. A friend referred me to Betty. I signed up right away and she had me dating within 2 weeks. It was the best investment in myself that I ever made. – Lori D., Canada
