Should you choose a holiday snap of you on the beach, or perhaps at the gym? In a fancy restaurant, or at home on the sofa? Choosing the best photos <\/strong>to post on your public profile<\/strong>, particularly your main profile picture, can be a daunting task, but we are here to help. Simply follow the 3 Cs<\/strong> recommended by American dating coach Damona Hoffman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re scanning through all the words you can think of beginning with C and have settled on a particular one, we can tell you right now that you could not be more wrong! The 3 Cs<\/strong> for the perfect photo are: colour, context and character<\/strong>. But what does that mean ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step one: colour<\/strong> Colours communicate our emotions and personality traits. Certain shades attract the viewer’s attention more than others. On your Yooppe profile<\/strong>, we recommend posting photos of you wearing a vibrant and bright top or dress<\/strong>, ideally in red. This is because it has been scientifically proven that the colour men are most drawn to<\/strong> is red. This was discovered by a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology<\/a>. When asked to choose from a number of photos with different coloured frames, men were most drawn to those with a red frame. We can therefore claim that red is the new black!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step two: context <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The second<\/strong> of Damona Hoffman’s 3 Cs is context<\/strong>. Photos tell a prospective match who you are and what you like to do; try to make them more interesting than a simple selfie that’s been done a thousand times before. Try to choose photos of you in an interesting setting<\/strong> to make it easier to break the ice<\/strong>. Do you like to ski? Add a beautiful photo of you on the slopes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you like cats or dogs? Choose a photo of you with your four-legged friend. Do you like to read? Take a photo of you holding the last book you read. And how about you holding a fine wine, a dessert or a pizza, at a football match, in front of a monument… you get the idea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step three: character<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The third and last of the 3 Cs is character<\/strong>. Through a photo, you can show prospective matches just who you are. Are you cheerful and witty? You don’t need to put on a clown costume, but simply post a few photos of you smiling sincerely. Do you get the idea? Not a forced three-two-one\u2026 cheeeese smile! Are you sporty? Post a photo of you in action. Choose photos that show all the different facets of your personality, including your reflective, romantic, green-fingered and creative sides. Through the photos you post, your potential match will get a good idea of who you are and will definitely want to confirm their first impression by starting up a conversation with you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n So remember these three simple words when thinking about posting a photo: colour, context and character. Because a photo is worth a thousand words<\/strong>. And who would read a thousand words? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Should you choose a holiday snap of you on the beach, or perhaps at the gym?
