If you wonder why girls on Elenasmodels.com keep answering “No” to your expressions of interest, it may be your picture.

Why girls refuse you

The small picture in search results is the first thing that ladies see. If it looks dark, sloppy or unattractive, they are not going to check your profile. And if they don’t check at your profile, then they surely won’t know what a wonderful person you are.

Sounds simple? It is!

But so many guys have poor quality images in their profiles. Most men, unfortunately, are destroying their own chances for success.

That’s the type of photo that would compel most girls to answer “Yes”.

A good profile is essential in international introductions

You are so far away from each other, spending time on someone who doesn’t appear interesting seems such a waste.

You probably also are not going to look at profiles of women with bad quality pictures, which didn’t seem attractive to you in the gallery.

But this is how I really look!

Most likely, your picture doesn’t do justice to how you really look. Very often men appear rigid and tense in the photos, while in real life they are relaxed and comfortable.

You may have everything going for you, but your images could be simply too dark or you seem tense.

How to get the best results

1. The body language in your photo is extremely important. Smile, look relaxed and happy. Try to look open. Uncross your arms, turn towards the camera.
2. Dress up. The best results you will get if you wear a white shirt, trousers, and possibly jacket. It’s international dating, so it’s appropriate to look more formal.
3. Brighter is better. Look at photos in travel catalogues or postcards. Which ones seem more attractive? Usually the brighter photos appear more attractive. This can be achieved simply using the editing tool in your smart phone, after you have made the picture.
4. Get someone else to take the shot. Selfies are great for everyday communication, to make it feel more real, but ask someone else to take a picture of you for the main profile photo.

That’s a good main picture for your online dating listing: happy, tidy and warm.

Things to avoid

1. No photos in bathrooms. Girls feel nauseous when they see guys taking pictures with basins or toilets in the background.
2. Take off sunshades and hats. You may think it looks more private, but people who know you can still recognize you. Better smile broadly or laugh, this changes your facial features more. (This is why they now don’t allow people to smile on passport photos.)
3. No worn out or untidy clothes. You may dress every day in old shorts and a trusty T-shirt. That’s no problem. But if you are dressed badly in your profile photo, that’s a problem. No need to fight it or complain about women being superficial. Just dress nicely. You probably wouldn’t even glance at her for the second time if she posted a picture of herself with unwashed hair in a bathroom robe. She, too, wants to see the best version of you in your presentation picture in your dating profile.
4. Avoid photos with possessions. Of course, your lovely car may be something you are proud of. But you want her to fall in love with you, not your possessions.

Everything is great in this image, except for the stressed face. If this guy smiled, he would be an absolute star!

Ladies are extremely choosy in regard to what kind of man they are willing to let in their lives. If they haven’t gotten married until now, you can be sure it’s not because no one offered. It’s because she wants a nice man. Give her the hope that you may be that man she has been looking for!

And yes, it starts with your photo.
