Worse, it could be that users have a crush on another person in the group and we are frankly not there to play matchmaker!
For the dating app Badoothe famous Love coach Lucie Mariotti gives his advice and list 10 commandments for a magical profile photo :
- 1. Current your photo will be!
To put all the chances on your side, we favor a recent photo. No need to post a photo where you would be 10 years old or 10 kg lighter: in any case the pot aux roses will be revealed at the time of the meeting irl ! First of all, it’s not very cool to start a relationship on lies… but if a person is not ready to accept us as we are, there’s really no point in wasting time, right?
- 2. Authentic you will be there
Same fight, no point embellishing your profile or pretending anything: anyway, here again, we want someone who is really interested in us.
- 3. In color you will show yourself
- 4. Sharp, your photo will be
We saw it above, a blurry photo: that’s no!
- 5. Representative your photo will be
No need to post a photo where you’re wearing a filter or where you look your best, it’s better to keep it simple… and reserve your best profile for the meeting!
- 6. In your universe you will reveal yourself and your passions you will show
Well, it is still necessary that said passion is not too divisive: if you are a fan of tuning, if you have a devouring passion for Disney disguises… perhaps it is better not to put it into practice right away. Before. Unless, really, it is a priority criterion in our quest!
- 7. To your accessories/objects present, be careful you will
Yes, yes, watch out sextoy who faded into the background or your brother in a terry bathrobe…
- 8. The framing you will check
- 9. You will watch over the emotion that emerges
Natural is good, of course when you’re at the end of your rope, bedridden by a nasty virus or something…
- 10. An emoji/sticker that symbolizes you you will add in your description (All except this one??if you don’t want to seem desperate).
1. Survey carried out by CSA for Badoo, among 1,000 people, a national sample representative of the French population aged 18 and over, by self-administered questionnaire online from October 10 to 12, 2023, on an online panel.
