nowadays it seems like everyone is trying to look for their potential
partners online whether you're on a more traditional website like FarmersOnly or
you're finding yourself constantly swiping right on tinder or even stalking
some girl that you think is cute on Instagram you're most likely meeting
people online before you actually meet them in real life
even if you only check your facebook once in a blue moon having a Facebook
profile can greatly impact how your future potential date sees you a
facebook profile is just the first impression and if you're making a poor
first impression you might not even get to meet your matches in real life so
before we dive into what makes a facebook profile attractive let's start
by discussing how much of an impact social media and the internet in general
has had on us a recent study conducted in El Salvador looked at two different
groups of people those with internet access and those without internet access
each group was asked a series of questions about what they thought was
attractive focusing mainly on facial features and weight the results showed
that people without internet access favored men with more feminine features
and women with more masculine features the participants without internet access
were also more likely to think that fuller figured women were more
attractive researchers offer two possible explanations for why people
with more internet access we're more attracted to certain features the first
has to do with the biases that are sent out online and through news media we
have access to pictures and videos of anyone that we want to view and often
this media paints a picture of who and what we should think is attractive the
second has to do with our priorities and a partner people without internet access
tend to have limited access to other resources physical characteristics
beyond facial features stuff like strength personality the ability to
raise and care for children might be more important to them people without
internet access also might see food as a more scarce resource this just shows
that our time online has an impact on how we view ourselves and others as
we're looking for potential attractive partners so stay aware of this
perception just as you browse through social media profiles and as you update
your own creating an online profile whether you are on a dating website or
social media it allows us to create a version of ourselves that might not
exactly match how we really are in real life
you might think that you're an easygoing and relaxed person but when you meet
someone from an online platform they might not think the same thing the
technical term for this is called catfishing but don't worry too much
about having everything perfect on your profile most people expect you to be
just a little different we've all had a time where we're really nervous before
going out on a date with someone that we met online and we've all heard some of
the classic worries from our friends and parents what if they're actually shorter
or taller or fat or older or weirder in person you see everyone is guilty of
telling little white lies or maybe putting up a front on social media at
one point or another as long as your online profile isn't saying that you're
six foot one when you're really five foot nine then you really shouldn't run
into too many issues when you meet your online date so how can you create an
online profile that accurately represents you and gets the matches and
dates that you actually want studies show that adding context to your
profile particularly to your photos makes you more attractive to people who
are actually viewing your profile for the first time if you're posting photos
of you standing in front of a toilet that doesn't really show a type of guy
you are now if you're posting a photo of you doing something that you absolutely
love whether that's fishing hiking attending a football game or any other
decently attractive activity you are much more likely to match with people
who have similar interests as you cities have also shown that social proof
increases attractiveness if your photos are getting a good amount of likes and
comments it is more attractive than photos without any comments or likes I
go more into the reason of this in my full course the psychology of attraction
you can check it out in the link below if you're interested now quick tip
before you start swiping or sending out messages is to have a friend look over
your profile they'll be able to tell you if you're over-exaggerating something
about yourself and maybe even if you're missing out on a key element of your
personality if a good friend sees that you're putting up a false front you most
likely they'll call you out on it now it's very important to make sure your
friends don't write your profiles for you but use them to help double check in
so what else is attractive online behavior whether you like it or not
social media and online profiles can have a huge impact on how we view
another person whether you just met them or maybe even if you've known them for a
while if you're trying to spruce up your social media accounts before releasing
into the dating world just remember that each person will have different tastes
and what they actually find attractive so remember to stay true to yourself and
your interest but to be safe here are a few quick tips number one too many posts
with an ex whether they're in a profile picture or anywhere else will quickly be
noticed especially if someone is stalking you no one wants to believe
that they're walking into a complicated situation with emotional baggage number
two politics online can get very tricky very quickly if a potential partner
finds you passionately arguing on social media about controversial topics they
might be turned off even if they agree or partially agree with your views and
number three try to review the privacy settings on your profile and how far
back people can actually see when they start to scroll
your timeline remember to those cake stand photos from college might be good
memories they can make a potential date cringe if they appear on your profile
and lastly if you're worried about your social media presence you should try to
set up a coffee date as soon as possible the way you're perceived on social media
can cause a lot of stress but there is a solution don't use it for just dating
once you've said if your profile keep yourself as private and ask people to
meet up in real life sooner rather than later everyone who is on social media
has the same worries about their profile so skip the stress and just head out on
a date let your date know the real you before they see the online persona of
you after all if you plan on meeting for more dates in person rather than online
your real life personality is more important now if you're interested in
