PHOTO Policy
Content: Photos can only include you. We’re glad you have friends and family, but we want your matches to see who you are!
Here are some tips for choosing the best Photos:
● Clear Photos. Make sure your Photo is clear, not blurry or covered by shadows
● Close-Up. Make sure the photo you upload is a close-up or headshot, not a picture taken at a distance
● Posing. Upright, smiling, in front of a pleasant view or background. Your matches will be more likely to respond if you look casual yet engaged. Not slouching in your couch
● Keep it Current. Your photos should have been taken recently. Posting old high school Photos may confuse matches who are trying to get to know you as you are now. No one wants to feel catfished
