The quick and dirty profile picture guide.

The good:

1. A nice face and torso shot.
2. Action shot in an interesting situation/location, looking at the camera.
3. Action shot in an interesting situation/location, not looking at the camera.
4. Pictures with animals.
5. An outdoors/activity shot.

The bad:

1. Shirtless pictures. I don’t care if you’re ripped. This is going to turn off 90% of girls, while attracting 5%. Why embrace those odds?
2. Selfies. No one wants to see your dirty bathroom mirror.
3. Pictures where you’re not the most attractive person.
4. Pictures with a female that looks like she might be your ex-girlfriend.
5. Pictures with props you don’t know how to use, like a guitar or motorcycle.
