Develop a photo strategy that avoids key pitfalls
Some people mistakenly believe that for online dating, they must look as generically attractive as possible in order to get matches. However, getting “more matches” is useless if your matches aren’t people you’d ever want to meet in the first place!

But with hundreds of millions of people using dating apps, practicality and expedience require us to weed out over 99% of them.
