ON-LINE DATING PROFILE PHOTOS

 If you’re doing the online dating thing and not getting a lot of messages, it’s probably because of your pictures.  Here are four tips from “Cosmo” on how to take dating profile pictures that get you RESULTS.

1.  Post a full-body photo that’s realistic but flattering.  Post one where you’re a little dressed up, like at a party.

2.  Make one a picture of you doing something interesting, as a way to start a conversation.  Like skydiving, hiking, or just traveling.  People who’ve done the same thing will want to share their experience, and other people will ask you about it.

3.  Ladies, have at least one picture with minimal makeup.  If you look made up in every single photo, it looks like you’ve got something to hide.

4.  Step up your selfie game.  Good lighting, no filters, and no dirty laundry or unmade bed in the background.  And if you’re going to take it in a mirror, make sure the mirror is CLEAN.

This year’s song of the summer is a ballad, not a banger. Here’s what that says about us

For the past 14 weeks and counting, the top Billboard spot has been held by a love ballad: Alex Warren's "Ordinary."
