Summer is nearly at its unofficial end and we’re starting to prep for fall and the coming CUFFING SEASON by amping up our dating profiles. This week we’ll be sharing tips for everything from your pic to your About Me and sending a great message.

Because they say a thousand words, let’s start with your profile pic, shall we?

1. Natural Lighting is Your BFF: Find yourself some good old natural light. Stand near a window or go outside during the golden hour (that magical time right before sunset or after sunrise). Soft, natural light is super flattering and makes your skin glow. Plus, it’s way better than harsh, fluorescent lighting.
2. Show Your True Self: Be yourself! Don’t go overboard with filters or Photoshop. People want to see the real you, imperfections and all. Authenticity is attractive. So, rock that messy hair or cute grin, and let your personality shine through.
3. Background Matters: Pay attention to your surroundings. A cluttered, messy background can be distracting. Choose a clean and simple backdrop, like a nice wall, a park, or a coffee shop. It’ll help you stand out and look more put together.

Remember, the key is to be genuine and have fun with it. Your dating profile picture should reflect the real you, so don’t stress too much. Good luck out there! ??
