How you represent you photo in your profile is very important step in online dating.

The following are the most common photo posting blunders that people make:-

1. The most serious mistake is to not post your photo at all. Describing yourself in text doesn't go well with most subscribers and don't be surprised if you hardly receive any email.
   
   
2. Another mistake is that some people do post a photo but its not their current picture may be 2-3 years old. Whether it was intentional or it was unintentional if you look older than the picture you will be tagged as a "age shaver".
   
   
3. Don't post a photo in which you hardly can be seen, post a proper picture where there is not much background and you can be seen clearly.
   
   
4. Don't compromise on a photo where you are giving weird looks as if you have smelled something really bad. Go for a new photo and post it on your profile.
   
   
5. Try not to post a group photo but try to put a solo photo, even if you are posting a group photo make sure that there are not many people of opposite sex and even if they are of the same sex they don't look better than you.
   
   
6. Post a photo without sunglasses or a cap or a hat and try to look the same what you are, using all this might give the impression that you are hiding something.
   
   
7. Don't post a photo where you are in a party with a glass of wine or beer in hand which might give an impression that you are a party freak, which you are not.
   
   
8. Take advice from a friend of opposite sex to choose a photo that you want to post on your profile, as family and you yourself can be biased.
   
   
9. Very important to remember that don't post such a photo where there is too much skin to be seen because if you are a gal you might get a lot of responses many of which would be unwanted and being a male you might not get a response at all.
   
   
10. Many believe that using a professional photo might not go well with the viewers but this is not right, many experts will suggest you to use a professional picture than a crappy snapshot taken at home by a friend.
