A Picture is worth a Thousand Words!

We’ve all heard the advertising phrase about a ‘picture being worth a thousand words’, well nowhere is it more important than when seeking a partner! Regardless of whether you choose TopMatch to assist in your search or you go it alone with the lottery of internet dating, the importance of your photo cannot be ignored! Last years holiday snaps or one from the new years party at the start of the new millennium just won’t do it!

Unfortunately but understandably, 86% of our Members when surveyed recently, stated that the photo of the proposed match played a critical part in the decision whether to meet. It’s human nature to place great emphasis on first impressions but following the sincere advice of our Consultants, we have numerous examples of successful relationships that developed following meetings initially having been refused based on appearances – so you don’t need to be a supermodel to be successful!

Whilst these objective recommendations are a huge benefit from using the TopMatch service, for both parties, you can do yourself a real favour by at least making sure the photo you use is the best possible in terms of lighting, pose and your own preparation as well as being up to date, to avoid any surprises. Our experienced Consultants will take a good quality photo at your initial Consultation but if you really want to greatly improve the odds, we’d recommend you invest a small amount of time and money in using a professional photo studio. They are the experts and they’ll be able to ensure you make the best possible first impression and avoid the risk of missing out on finding Mr or Mrs Right just because of your photo!

Happy Dating!
