NO MORE PUSSY-FOOTING AROUND


Whenever I get several e-mails in a short amount of time bringing
up an issue I've not considered a whole lot before, it really gets
my attention.

This week, I happened to hear from some of you who are NOT into
online dating.  But then again, you've never actually TRIED it.

Hey, I fully realize that if you study a random cross-section of
men, the vast majority would be flat-out scared to approach a
beautiful, sexy woman in the "real world".

If you ask me, that only makes online dating even MORE of a
gold mine.

I mean, it's much more of a controlled environment...the beauty
of which is that you can "approach" women ALL DAY LONG without
having to, well...REALLY meet them just yet. 

There's a great "confidence builder" there, if you're willing to see
it as such.

On paper at least, this should make online dating a BONANZA for
most of us as guys.

Some among us, however, still believe there's lots to have "sweaty
palms" about, as it turns out:



  "I'm a TERRIBLE writer.  I have NO IDEA what to write in my
  profile and I'll probably mess it up anyway."


  "Man...I just don't know if I can handle getting all excited over a
  woman's profile, only to face the AGONY of failing to actually get
  the chance to meet her for real and see what she's like.  That
  would SUCK."


  "Sending text messages to women I already know is hard enough, let
  alone writing first e-mails to women I've never even met before."


  "And what if I spend ALL THAT TIME writing a bunch of e-mails without
  realizing I'm sending messages to scammers behind FAKE profiles?"


  "Right now I do so-so with women without online dating...it would
  KILL my confidence to get online and see NO RESPONSE whatsoever!"


  "Dude...I take AWFUL pictures.  What if chicks write me just to
  tell me I look like a goofball?"



OK, well we're going to take care of that LAST potential stumbling
block right here and right now in today's newsletter...or at least
give you a running start at it.

6 SECRETS TO GREAT PICTURES


Let's get something out of the way up front here.

If you have an online dating profile posted ANYWHERE online--or
plan to in the near future--then today's newsletter contains
mission-critical information that can and will improve your
fortunes immediately.

But here's a surprise.

Even if you're NOT exactly into online dating, you're going to be
glad to have read what follows anyway.

Why, you ask?

Well, chances are you've got a Facebook, Twitter and/or Google+
account, right? 

Obviously, having the most flattering pictures of yourself possible
always helps...that's a "no-brainer".

But what's more, here's something that maybe you HAVEN'T considered.

Remember back in high school when you always exchanged pictures
with MOTOS (members of the other sex) you met?

Well, nothing has changed, really.  It's still a GREAT idea to have
some particularly good pictures ready to share with someone you've
started dating.

It's an excellent way to keep a solid, positive impression of how
wonderful you are at the forefront of their mind (and their
smartphone).

So then, let's all agree that today's discussion is an
all-important one...especially in light of the SHOCKINGLY HIGH
percentage of people I've spoken to lately (and seen online, for
that matter) who clearly have NO HIGH QUALITY PHOTOS of themselves
whatsoever.

You do NOT want to be one of those unfortunate (but plentiful)
people.  With that in mind, here are a half-dozen ways to make sure
you have GREAT pictures of yourself instead:



1)  Think Like A Customer Service Agent


This is absolutely GOLDEN, and perhaps one of the very most
foolproof strategies going.

Have you ever noticed something about virtually every photo you
see online depicting a customer service agent?

Well sure, they all have one of those headphone/mic combos on their
head.

But that aside, check it out:  They all have the SAME EXACT
expression on their faces, too...be they male or female.

They have a certain CONFIDENT but WARM look about them.

That's no coincidence.  After all, the whole point is to get you to
see them as both COMPETENT and EASY TO TALK TO.

If they can sub-communicate that impression in your mind, you're
more likely to actually CONTACT them, right?

Well guess what?  Your best pictures of yourself (online OR off)
have the very SAME goal.  You want to excite MOTOS about getting in
touch with you.

So it's worthwhile to stand in front of a mirror and practice until
you can duplicate that "customer service" countenance.  Then go
take some pictures.

Oh, and RELAX your way into that facial expression rather than
forcing it.  It'll turn out much better that way.



2)  Stay Indoors, And Stay Natural


There are two certain ways to look TERRIBLE in photographs.

The first is to stand in the dark and let a flashbulb wash you out,
thereby highlighting all of your flaws...even the ones that are
practically invisible under every other circumstance.

The second is to go outside on a sunny day and squint into the
camera.  Nobody has ever been MORE attractive when wrinkling his or
her face up into a knot.

And wearing sunglasses isn't exactly the solution either.  We all
need to see your eyes...you know, since they're the windows to your
soul, and all.

So what's the solution?  Find a place that's INSIDE and has NATURAL
LIGHT...that is, not requiring a flash.

If it's overcast outside, that's good also.

The point is to look your BEST, and bright light (be it solar or
electronic) doesn't do that.



3)  Be In A Good Mood (But Not THAT Good Of One)


The other day Emily and I were coaching someone on how to perform
effective searches online when something truly bizarre occurred to
us.

Fewer than HALF of the people listed in the search results seemed
like relaxed, well-adjusted and/or dare I say happy people. 

Many looked downright angry or vexed.  A few even looked terrified.

You see, in my mind it seems pretty fundamental that you'd want to
portray a POSITIVE attitude.  But apparently that isn't so obvious
to most people.

Now, I'm aware of the studies that indicate that it's NOT a good
idea for men to post pics with big, wide cheesy grins.  For some
reason that comes off as overeager and needy.

But that doesn't mean you should scowl like a pro wrestler, either.

The smooth, wry, James Bond smile that says, "I've got a secret"
is actually the way to go. 

For some crazy reason women LOVE that look.  It expresses confidence
and generates intrigue.



4)  Stay Focused


What's up with all of these photos I've seen online that are either
blurry or poorly framed?

If you're blurry in your pictures, MOTOS are not going to assume
you're MORE attractive than you appear.  Rather, they're going to
think you're hiding something.

And as we all know, misrepresenting yourself online is pretty much
the "kiss of death".  So crisp, clear pics are a must.

By the way, iff half of your head is cut off it's hard to get a good
idea of what you look like as well.   Make sure to be centered in
your pic, as that vision of symmetry is pleasing to the eye...which
is always a good thing.



5)  Leave No Doubt What Your Gender Is


Masculine men are attracted to feminine women, and vice-versa. 

So why not make it a point to wear the most gender-specific clothes
you have?

Also be sure to position yourself in a masculine way.  No "over the
shoulder glance" shots or male "kissy faces", please. 

And hopefully I don't have to tell you that standing up straight
and/or leaning casually against a wall is a better idea than lying
on your side in a bed of flowers.



6)  Dress For Success


I cannot tell you how many frumpy women and sloppy dudes I've seen
in pictures online.

How can you expect to attract MOTOS like catnip attracts kitties
unless you've MADE AN EFFORT to at least look your best before
getting in front of the camera?

Without exception, whenever any guy sends me the usernames of his
top 5 choices among all the women in his entire metro area the
pictures that I see are of women in dresses, high heels, and the
whole nine yards.

It's rare to see women in sweatpants and oversized t-shirts in
those pictures.

Guys, you know this is true...so likewise do the ladies a favor and
put on your Sunday Best (yes, even a suit) instead of fooling
yourself into thinking that a "wife beater" T-shirt and "bed head"
is going to attract any high-quality women whatsoever.

In fact, if you have a pic of yourself in a tux at some recent
formal occasion, that might be your best shot.



OK, so there you go.  Some of what you have just read may seem
refreshingly original.  Glad to help you get an edge there.

But no doubt, you've probably noticed that there's also a lot of
common sense involved.

Unfortunately, however, it would appear once again that "common
sense" isn't necessarily so common out there.

Seriously, follow the six steps I've outlined for you above and
you'll be WAY ahead of probably 90% of everyone else out there.


Be Good,

Scot McKay
