If you have been doing anything lately regarding online dating, and reading up on how to be successful with internet dating, then you should already know the importance of choosing a good profile picture for your dating profile.

The first thing that someone is going to look at when viewing your profile, is more than likely going to be the picture or the headline, and if the picture looks good enough, then you may be able to get away with a cheesy headline. But if you are using a picture of yourself that you THINK others may find attractive, but actually they don't, then you are going to find yourself having a hard time meeting the right person online.

Now some people may not go as far as this to pick out the perfect profile picture, but it will really help you if you can get the best photo of yourself that you have up there on your online dating profile. So how do you go about doing this?

You can go through all of your photos, and pick out 10 of them that you like the most. Once you got ten photos of yourself, head on over to hotornot.com and make yourself a profile over there. Submit all of your photos.

Take about an hour out of your day and do nothing but rate other peoples photos, as this is the way that you will be able to pick out the best photo for your online dating profile. Sounds kind of cheesy yes I know, and it is a lot of work, but if you can get an average of 100 votes per photo, the one that has the highest rating is more than likely going to be the best picture out of the ten.

Polls don't lie, even if they are on the internet, the viewers know what they are doing. If you happen to be a membe of OkCupid.com, they have a similar script to hotornot's, and they will actually take all of your profile pictures, and let the users pick out the best one for you. Just like hot or not though, it takes some time for the results to come in.
