Top three mistakes women make when posting photos on online dating websites...

After reviewing hundred's of women's dating profiles on various popular dating sites, I would like to share with you the following mistakes women make based on my observations and several, practical recommendations as to how you can make your dating profile photos more attractive to men:

1. Posting "trashy" photos. Browing profile after profile I saw photos of women in extremly revealing skimpy outfits standing at a bar/club with their girlfriends and posting like strippers. This is about the most common mistake that women make when posting their images on dating sites. While it's a good idea to convey to guys that you know how to have a good time, this is about the worst way to do it. You cannot expect to be taken seriously as a woman and a potential dating partner if that's how you present yourself to the male world. Remember, there is a huge difference between elegant and classless, sexy and trashy, enticing and intriguing and grossly provocative.

2. Posting photos with young kids. It's great that you are raising a child and he is your priority in life, and you should certainly be honest and upfront about it, mentioning it in your profile and perhaps even posting one photo of you and your baby. However, there is no need for you to make turn your kid into the main focus of your profile. You must keep the actual purpose of posting a dating profile. You are not there to look for a babysitter or a new father figure for your child. You are looking for a potential dating partner. Focusing your photos around your kid/kids will give guys the wrong idea. They will immediately assume that you are not going to be available to talk to them, see them and spend time with them, even if that's not the case.

3. Posting only the photos of your face. Whether you take pride in your physique or you don't, there is no point in hiding it. Showing only your face on the dating site to only later see that look of disappointment on a guy's face when he meets you face-to-face is going to hurt much more and waste much more of both of your time than allowing men to see your body at the outset of your online communication. There is no reason for you to hide the shape of your body, and the sooner the guys sees who he is talking to, the better. I surely don't suggest that you should be posting erotic or overly revealing photos, but having one full-body photo where you are wearing jeans and a blouse/shirt that clearly shows your body type will be the honest and the right thing to do.

Keep the above three points in mind when you are thinking about posting photos online, and you will likely come across as a more attractive and interesting woman.
