As you already know that photo personals are more in demand and get more responses than the one without, you would also like to know what kind of picture could bring in more responses. With a nice detailed personal, a nice and decent picture would go. Remember, in dating you rarely get a second chance to make that terrific first impression, so its important to give you get it right the very first time. To ensure that it is very much needed to have the right description with the right picture.

		It is crucial therefore that you use a realistic and recent photo of yourself that is an accurate and in focus portrayal of who you are. One can easily distinguish between your real picture and that of a model. Putting somebody else's picture may make you lose good responses, which you otherwise would have got immediately. A nice natural photo of a real you can attract anybody but a fake and glamorous studio shot won't.
		If you are seriously interested in getting serious replies, your picture should be a nice and decent one and not a sexy or too fancy. A decent picture with a distinct background and bright smile could attract most replies.
		The other importance of your picture is your 'Smile'. Smiling is critical to the photo you use in your personal ad and you should always try to present a happy face. Remember, while dating online you are promoting yourself so take some care and time to get your image right. A picture with a nice smile can attract anybody and people would in fact be happy to see and excited to contact a happy person.
		The photo should be a JPG or a BMP file, (commonly known as a JPEG or Bitmap). Both are easily created through standard window camera software and they don't take up a large file size. Each website mentions the size of the picture. Do ensure that you keep the final resolution down so that the file is accepted on the website. If you don't know much about cameras and photo images, get some assistance.
		It would be a good idea to post more than one picture. Some sites allows 4 pictures for the free member. Begin by posting a couple of your favorite photos (make sure its not more than a year old) and see what kind of response you get. If you don't get the reaction you like, change your photo profile in your personal ad until things change.
		Look at the photo personals of other people on the dating site you joined and see if you can match their style of shot. It will be immediately obvious which ones work best because you will like to look at them more than others.
		Take a lot of photos and use the best one. Ensure the photo is bright and clear and that they are properly taken and not just web cam shots.
		If you feel comfortable, along with your pictures post a video too. Although we all agree to the fact that its inside that matters but it is a universal truth too that physical appearance has its importance too.
