Online Dating Pictures Show Overall Attractiveness

I’m always looking for interesting online dating statistics, I’ve read as many studies as I can find, and look for the latest research. Then go out and test it for you to see how we can use it to meet more women.

Well, I found something interesting about how confidence in a guy’s online dating profile picture relates to confidence in his written profile.

There was a study reported about internet dating pictures in this article that compared how attractive women found a guy based on his picture without seeing his profile write-up.

And then again how appealing a guy was on his write-up alone, without seeing a picture at all.

After 100 women had ranked the pictures and the text, the study showed that men who were seen as good looking in their pictures also had write-ups that women felt were attractive too.

The opposite was true too. Guys who women saw as physically unattractive by looking at their profile pictures were viewed as having unattractive profile write-ups.

This makes sense since guys who are good looking also show more confidence, at least as a whole. And those good looking, confident men are going to write profiles that are more attractive as well.

So what does this mean for the guys on online dating sites who aren’t next in line for the Chippendales?

It means that unless you have a decent picture of yourself in the first place, it’s going to be hard to put together a profile write-up that makes you attractive. And that’s why I’m always harping on guys to put up the best shot they can possible get, and why I’ve written so many posts on taking good profile pictures.

It’s also the reason the longest chapter in my book on making a profile is the longest one in the book.

Now, it’s not really fair that better looking guys get all the breaks here, but I suppose it’s not much different when you open the door and walk outside. Physically attractive guys have an advantage over us normal guys.

But the difference in the real world is that we can quickly make up for that if we know what to say and how to say it. Something you can’t do online if the girl won’t even acknowledge you in the first place.

There ARE ways to get around this though, and I hate to say it because it sounds like I’m making a sales pitch, but probably the best thing to do is get a hold of this interview.

In a nutshell, you have to show confidence with women you meet online and during the normal course of your day. Learn to talk and tell stories. You want to radiate confidence, even when you’re not feeling it. And for real world game, it’s essential that your initial approach is smooth and confident.
