Whether it’s your profile picture for Facebook, Whatsapp, Tinder, or LinkedIn – you want to look your best, right?
Here are some examples 7There are scientifically proven ways that women can look more attractive on their online profile pictures.
1) Slim Down in Seconds
When you’re posing for a closeup photo, you may think it doesn’t matter how you hold your arms since they’re not in the frame. Your arms are attached to your shoulders, so you might think that it doesn’t matter how you hold your arms.
Pay attention to how your shoulders look in photos if you want to instantly look slimmer.
Your shoulders and upper arms will appear wider if you place your hands on your hips. When you put your elbows down on your sides and extend your arms, your arms and shoulders appear slimmer.
Pro photographer Peter Hurley recommends pretending that you’re holding a giant sub sandwich.
2) Strike APose
Barnaby, an New Zealand-based anthropologist, found that men prefer a hips-to-waist ratio. 7As compared to a closer ratio, 9:10
If you don’t have the “golden ratio” of hips-to-waist, no reason to worry – you can fake it easily when you’re snapping a profile photo. Instead of looking directly at the camera, try standing at an angle so your shoulders are closer to the camera.
Celebrities who walk the red carpet often do this because they want to show off their best.
3) Forget Snapchat Filters
If you think you look cute in a photo with a dog face and a huge tongue rolling out of your mouth, you’re not doing yourself any favors.

This is one tip for online dating that girls will love to follow. Hinge data shows that photos with Snapchat filters received 90% less likes than similar photos taken without them. POF decided to ban face filters completely after discovering that 75% of singles thought they were deceitful.
4) Makeup vs Au Naturel
While some women wouldn’t dream of snapping a photo without carefully applied makeup, other women prefer the natural look. Which profile photo is more attractive to men?
Dr. Alex Jones, Dr. Robin Kramer set out to find out. As it turns out, makeup doesn’t make that much of a difference when it comes to perceived levels of attraction.
Wearing makeup only contributed a 2% increase in attractiveness, while the woman’s face itself accounted for a full 69% of what men found attractive about her.
Red lipstick is a great makeup tip for women. A research study at Manchester University found that the average man tends to focus on women’s lips when looking at their photos – and wearing red lipstick holds his attention the longest.
5) Let Your Hair Down
AA French researcher found that men were more interested in long haired women than when they let it fall naturally over their shoulders.
Researchers believed that long hair could be interpreted as a biological indicator for health and make people appear younger and more sexy.
So if you’re looking to appear more attractive and youthful in a profile pic, if you have it – let it loose.
6) Don’t forget to show your arms
University of New South Wales researchers had men rate women based on their looks. The data showed that men love women with long, slender arms.
According to them, women with more visible arms were considered more attractive. If you’re choosing a profile pic, think about using one where you’re rocking a tank top or sleeveless dress.
And if you’re about to take a profile pic, consider doing a few quick bicep curls with whatever object is handy. It will temporarily increase the definition of your muscles.
7) Have a Guy Snap Your Profile Pic
In his book, “In Your Face: The New Science of Human Attraction,” researcher David Perrett found that women are consistently found to be more attractive by men when a man takes their photo.
So next time you’re taking a profile pic, hand your phone to one of the guys in the group instead. Smile for the camera. Studies have shown that men are most attracted to a relaxed, happy smile.
If you’re looking a little stressed or anxious in your profile pic, it’s definitely time for a change.
