ONLINE DATING
Choosing a Profile Photo That Ukraine Women CAN’T Resist
It’s often said that a picture is worth a thousand words and that’s true enough in most cases. But it’s even more true when it comes to online dating. Pictures matter because of the nature of online dating. There aren’t any face to face interactions at the outset, so a guy who’s not all that good-looking but is charming and funny in person is at a disadvantage.
Which is why using good photos in an online dating profile is important. But what if you don’t know which of your photos to use? And what if you don’t have any usable photos at all? Well, it’s not hard to pick or to take photos that can help attract Ukrainian women.
Because that’s who you’re going for — beautiful women from Eastern Europe who are a fresh escape from the women in your locale.
1. Face First
When you’re picking a main profile photo, make sure to use one that shows your face clearly and in the same condition it is now. This means not using a photo from your younger days.
Now, you can use an older photo, but it should be recent enough that there’s not a great difference between your face then and the way it is now. That way, anyone who matches with you and then meets you in real life isn’t going to feel like they’ve been deceived.
2. Grouped Together
Make sure to use group shots as well. Using only solo shots will make you look like you’re either a loner by choice or you don’t have the social skills needed to make friends, which is a bit of a red flag to some women.
So in order to avoid waving that particular red flag, make sure to add in some group photos to your gallery.
This is especially important with Ukrainian women and family. Family is very important for a lot of people in Ukraine so a guy who’s pursuing the women would be well served presenting himself as being close to his family.
A caveat — don’t oversaturate your gallery with group photos. Some people go overboard with group photos when putting together their profile that they essentially turn their profile into a guessing game as to who they are.
3. Remember To Smile
Between showing your face and showing your social life, you’re also going to want to show that you’re not a sourpuss. And the way to do that on your dating profile is to smile.
A well-executed smile shows confidence — a trait all too important when dating women from Ukraine or Eastern Europe for that matter. You may think that that’s just common sense, but if you really think about it, how often do we really act sensibly?
And do a proper smile, the kind you were taught to do as a young boy with a pencil. None of that gape-mouth nonsense that the kids seem to be doing nowadays.
Taking Good Photos
Say you don’t have any good photos of yourself at the ready. That doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the world when it comes to putting together a great gallery. You can take some new photos, but you gotta make sure that you take good ones.
1. Get The Right Equipment
As for the thing that will actually take the picture, your phone should do since most smartphones come with high-definition cameras already.
But a smartphone by itself won’t always be enough. Some people use a litany of tools in order to maximize their phone’s potential.
A great way to get good lighting is to use a ring light since it can be positioned and adjusted in ways that get the lighting just right for photo taking. They’re fairly popular with social media influencers and people who want to be social media influencers so they have to have some practical value when it comes to taking pictures.
Another thing you can get to help you take photos is a stand. You can use it to adjust the height of your phone to better take your pictures.
Of course, you could always just ask a friend to take your pictures if you’d rather not get a stand and use natural lighting if you don’t fancy getting a ring light.
2. Figure Out Your Angles
The angle at which your photo is taken is going to be of importance. If you take a photo at a low angle, it could expose more chin than you’d like. A lot of heavier people take photos at a high angle because it slims them down.
3. Use Your Devices Filters
A lot of devices come with different filters when taking photos. Sometimes, pictures can be taken in black and white and sometimes the color saturation can be edited. Just make sure not to edit your photos too much. You still want to present a realistic version of yourself, just a better version of reality.
The Kind Of Photos That Fill Out Your Gallery
Once you’ve decided on a profile picture, you need to think about the rest of your gallery. After all, having just one picture attached to your profile can make it feel like it’s incomplete. But you can’t just throw in some random photos. If your main profile photo is good, then that’s going to set expectations for the rest of your gallery so the rest of your pictures need to be up to or near the same standards as your main profile photo.
1. Hard At Work
If you currently have a job, then use a picture of you doing that job. Presenting yourself as gainfully employed is going to make you look like a good provider and a lot of women in Ukraine have this cultural expectation of men being the main breadwinners of the family. Having a job shows that you can fulfill that expectation.
2. Work Hard, Play Hard
But life isn’t just about work. Life is also about having a good time. Whether it’s sports or some other kind of hobby, you’re going to want to present yourself engaging in it in your dating profile because it shows that you’re able to have fun.
Pictures are probably the most important part about a dating profile. An empty gallery is sketchy and without the ability to come across as personable and charming on a dating profile, pictures will have to do the heavy lifting to attract Ukraine women.
