What Makes The Best Adult Dating Profile Picture?

Adult dating websites already stray from the acceptabilities of regular dating sites, so you may be thinking that “anything goes” when it comes to your profile photo. WRONG! You should

be paying just as much attention to your profile photo on an adult dating website as you would on a regular dating site. The bottom line is, you’re trying to attract hot women. And whether they’re looking for a long term partner, or a one time fuck buddy, your profile picture

is still going to make the first and most impactful impression.

There are tons of articles on what makes a great profile photo on regular dating sites, but how much of that advice transfers effectively to adult dating profile photos? Let’s take a lot at some common advice for regular dating site profile pictures and see how it stacks up.

Adult Dating Profile Pictures – DO’s and DON’Ts

If you look, you’ll find hundreds of articles on what makes an effective dating profile picture. Here is some common advice offered by these sites:

Use A Skilled (But Not Necessarily Professional) Photographer?

No one’s looking at this adult dating profile photo and thinking, “Oh

yeah, I gotta fuck that guy!”

In the case

of adult dating sites, this may actually be a hinderance. By all means, you should post a nice photo of yourself, but due to the nature of the site, a profile photo taken more “privately” will seem more intimate. If you use a professional photo, it may even make you seem stuffy or prudish (especially with those horrible office worker head shots like above). But DO use a quality adult

dating profile photo – nothing blurry, nothing dark, and absolutely nothing taken in a mirror!

And SHOW YOUR FACE – a profile photo that doesn’t include a face is a huge red flag for women! If you want any chance of having sex with beautiful women on these adult dating sites, you need to show your face. And unless you are an actual model who can pull off that sexy pout thing, SMILE! No one wants to bang a mug shot. Not smiling often makes you look creepy or scary. Just a little smile will go a long way!

Be The Only Person In The Photo?

When women have hundreds of men to choose from, they’re not going to take the time to find out whether you’re “the guy on the right” or “the guy on the left”. Or even worse! You use a photo with a female in it! Use an adult dating profile photo that shows YOU. And DON’T crop someone out – if they are female or their gender is not determinable, people will assume it is an ex regardless of who it is. No girl wants to think about where your hands have been, even if they do only plan on being a one night stand.

No Nudity?!

Put it away, dude!

Obviously, this is a rule that is completely thrown out the window when you make the switch

from regular dating site to adult dating site. But there is still something to this rule! Unless you’ve got the world’s biggest penis, keep it in your pants. The average hard-on isn’t impressing ladies through a computer screen. Women are very mental creatures (no joke intended). In person, after you get her turned on, and she has that lust in her eyes, she’s going to think your dick is the most delicious one she’s even seen when you pull it out. But amongst a sea of dick pics, the man who is fully clothed will actually get the second glance. Women want some mystery, some intrigue.

And don’t think

a happy medium is an adult dating profile shot of your abs! Whoever told us that women like that was a LIAR. I have been told by more than a few women that this is an instant turn off!

Use A Current Photo?

Seems legit.

This is just as true as it is for regular dating sites. If you use a photo from 20 years ago, or a photo from when you had more hair/less gut/etc. as your adult dating profile photo, all you’re going to succeed in is making her run for the hills once she meets you in person. A woman who meets someone on a regular dating site may be willing to look past some appearance discrepancies because they enjoy a man’s personality, but on adult dating sites there is nothing keeping her there. All she wants is no strings attached sex, but she wants it with the man she saw online. Use a current photo as your adult

dating profile picture!
