5 Photo Tips: Men on OkCupid
- 1
Lead with a photo where your face is clearly visible and lit from the front — not shadowed, not backlit.
- 2
Include one full-body shot in a real location (not your bathroom mirror). Shows confidence and scale.
- 3
Activity photos beat posed photos. Doing something interesting reads as personality.
- 4
Smile with teeth in at least one photo. Approachable outperforms 'mysterious' every time.
- 5
Cut any photos where you're with a group and it's unclear which person you are.
