What should your online dating photo include?

One of the most important steps when putting together any online dating profile is to choose the right photographs to use.

Lisa Copeland, a dating coach for women over 50, has written a piece for the Huffington Post in which she offered some top tips regarding images.

She explained the first wise idea is to include between two and four photos, and anyone who has any misgivings about their body should reveal them in snaps as this is better than concealing them until the time of a date.

The next tip is to ensure you are the only person in the photos you use, while opting to get a professional photographer or a talented friend to take the shots is to be advised.

Finally, it is important that all photographs are current and reflect what you really look like, as deceiving prospective partners is a plan that is only likely to end in tears.
