Probably 97 percent of the people are going to respond to an ad based on what they see in this photo. We could boast that we won the Pulitzer Peace Prize for finding a cure for cancer, or that we were able to balance the national budget on our home calculator.
But if we post a picture that looks like a bad clone of Charles Manson, Lyle Lovett, and Marilyn Manson combined, people won't have any more incentive to answer your ad than if you were an eighty-year-old pregnant woman with Herpes. (Which I am sure there is a Web site for.) If you should happen to look like a cross between the gents listed above, at least smile pretty, because a smile can go a long way.
One thing I've frequently noticed is a large number of photos that are out of focus. Now I know everyone's not a photographer, and you may not be able to afford to have a professional headshot taken, but by golly, tell whomever is taking your picture to please take their nerve medication first!
Maybe subconsciously the guy is thinking we won't notice the wrinkles and bad teeth if the shot is blurred. I'll bet a few drinks might help it appear sharper; it's worth a shot. (Pardon that pun, too!) But when you go to meet the guy, I guess it would be a good idea to have a couple of belts in you so he will, indeed, look like the same person who's in the photo.
Also, there are times when size is important. (I'm talking about the photo in this particular instance—what'd ya think I was referring to?) You may want to consider using an image size that's larger than a single brain cell of an ant. It would be to your advantage if viewers could tell what species you belong to.
Example: what's with the picture of you water skiing behind your friend's boat, splashing water twenty feet into the air, 350 yards offshore? I guess if we never got closer than 350 yards when we meet, we won't have a problem now, will we?
