Having more profile photos improves your dating odds

When our researchers looked at personal photo statistics, here's what they've found:

A profile with one personal photo receives five times as many replies as a profile without a personal photo.
A profile with three photos receives seven times as many replies as a profile without a personal photo.
A profile with five photos receives nine times as many replies as a profile without a photo.

Photos are even more important for women:

For a woman's profile, one photo attracts seven times more replies, three photos draws nine times as many replies and five photos encourages 12 times more replies than a profile without a photo.
For a man's profile, one photo attracts three times more replies, three photos draws four times as many replies and five photos encourages five times more replies than a profile without a photos.
Use your extra photos to tell more of your story and why someone should be delighted with an opportunity to get to know you. If you have children, include a photo with them. If you have a pet, include it in a photo with you. Show photos with you engaged in favorite activities or at your favorite travel destination.
