After the content of your profile, the next thing the girls are interested in is “how does he look”? Your photos and videos are the first things the girls actually see, so do not underestimate the power of photos and make them work to your advantage.
You could make photos at a professional studio, or you could just pick your latest photos made with your digital camera. The most important criteria is that you like yourself on these pictures, and if you could ask an opinion of a lady about them (your sister etc.) you could get a second opinion of how She will see you.
On our site you can upload up to twenty photos and three videos, and write comments about them. If you mark your photos as “private” and then only your friends can see them. You can always delete old photos at any time and place new ones!
Here are several tips on making great photos for a dating website:
What She wants to see:
- Good portrait and full-size photos, where she can see your eyes, your smile, your figure.
- Here are some ideas for additional pictures:
- You doing sports – here is an occasion to show your muscles
- You with your pets. Keep pictures with your children as “private”
- Some pictures at home. I am sure you have at least one place you want to show in your house or apartment.
- You traveling. You are relaxed and happy.
- You fishing the greatest fish of all time
- You at your working place
- You cooking gourmet dishes– this will be a knock-out for Ukrainian ladies
- Smile!!!!! Smile!!!! Smile!!!! This is the biggest attraction point.
- Make sure your photos are recent (within the last five years).
What She does not want to see:
1. A lady’s hand on the picture with her body cut off the picture
2. Photos were you face is covered with sunglasses or baseball cap
3. You smoking or drinking alcohol
4. You partying with your friends who are drunk
5. Distracting photos where you are hard to find
6. Photos with special effects. If you must do this, have a professional do it for you. Your reflection in the mirror is good, but not for the dating site.
7. Photos with nude parts of your body, which look inappropriate.
8. Photos taken 5+ years ago
Video
Videos are great. She can see you moving, smiling, talking, and laughing. But making a good video is hard (when we suggest to our girls to have their video taken, they often panic!).
Still, making a video is well worth your while because it makes you so much more real to the girl watching. Use your imagination here. You could ask you friends and family to help you, and you will have fun together.
Remember that She is interested in You and all details of your everyday life and free time. Here are few tips to help you to make a very nice video:
- Start your video with a greeting as if you would greet any friend: “Hi, How are you doing?” If you could say the same but in Russian or Ukrainian, that would be great. In Russian you would say: “Privet, kak dela?”
- Plan your video to tell a little bit about yourself and show yourself in the best light:
- If you like sports or outdoor activities, take a video of you jogging or biking.
- If you play a musical instrument, act, sing or draw –this process can be recorded on camera. Driving a car or motorcycle can be good too.
- If you have a pet, then playing with it will look great too. Many Ukrainian women love pets, so it will be easier for them to feel a soul mate in you.
- If gardening is a part of your life, show Her your lawn and your flowers. This is the time to boast.
- Keep commenting on your activities as if you are talking to a friend
- Use humor and smile – smiling will light up your face.
- Finish your video with a nice “Good bye, and I hope to see you soon”, in Russian it sounds “Paka, nadeyus vas skoro ovidet!”
- Remember that you can place up to 3 videos, so you could show different aspects of your life.
Be creative and let your photos and videos show you as you really are – smiling, caring, loving and happy – the Person She Wants to be With Right Now!
Good luck!
