You know you’re dating material, but if your dating profile has only one photo of you it makes dating seem like a gamble for the other person. People who are dating often just want to know that they aren’t risking their time or heart on someone who is dishonest or unappealing. This is especially true when you consider that most people will go through many dates before ending up with “the one.” What can you do? Sure, some people may be more attractive than others, which helps compensate for an otherwise middling profile, but everyone can take two (or even three) photos instead of just one! Be sure to use these additional shots as opportunities to show your best side and give potential suitors a better idea of what you look like. Remember, dating is about finding someone who shares your interests and will make a good fit for you in the long run, not just someone hot. So don’t insist on one photo unless there are other signs in your dating profile that compensate for it!

To your dating success! Edit: Oops, if you want someone with good dating advice to read your profile and give their opinion you should ask them before using it in an article. [I wrote this in the comments when someone asked for dating advice.] A person probably wouldn’t go on a date with me because my dating photos aren't that great and I don't have that much dating expertise yet, alas. :( Sorry! And thanks. This is also why dating experts tend to stay away from giving dating advice publicly - they're afraid you'll just copy everything they say without thinking about it sufficiently. [more notes in the comments!] If you're not using Tinder or OkCupid, maybe get dating advice from dating experts who are public about their dating advice; I wrote the following in the comments (and on Twitter): For dating advice that comes with sources, check out dating blogs like these: Modern dating expert Susan Walsh's blog - she has articles dating back to 2007. Dating coach Jason Capital's blog . More recent dating articles by dating coach Evan Marc Katz . He also has a podcast (sadly it hasn't been updated since 2014). Valentine Noire , aka "Romantic Idealist," is another dating blogger with some great articles. There are other good websites for dating coaches/experts too, but rather than linking to them here, maybe go Google/Bing them? Good luck! Edit 2: Even dating experts don't always agree. Susan Walsh had some good advice about dating photos on her blog - but it doesn't tell you to upload multiple dating photos, I guess because she thinks you can be too distracting online. More dating advice by dating expert Derek Cajun's about dating photos (uploading more than one) - he also has dating advice videos on YouTube. Seems like the "one photo" rule is not universal for dating websites with text-heavy profiles. What are your thoughts on this? Do you have any other great sources of dating expertise?
