Will She Look Like Her Photos? 10 Dating Profile Red Flags
Updated: 4 days ago
If you're not sure a match will look like her photos, watch for these 10 dating profile red flags, such as only close-ups, heavy filters, old-looking photos or very few pictures. One red flag doesn't prove anything, but several together usually mean she looks different in real life.
One red flag isn't proof. A pattern of them usually is.
Keep this in mind first
Seeing one of these doesn't always mean she'll look worse in person. Some women are insecure about very minor things. But if you spot several, it's quite likely she doesn't look as good in real life as she does in her photos. Women generally know their best camera angles and how to pose.
The 10 dating profile red flags
Only close-up shots. No photos showing her body can mean she's hiding her size.
Lots of high-angle shots. Photos taken from above make people look slimmer.
Heavy filters. These often point to insecurity about her face or skin.
Full-body shots only from the side. Side-on angles make it harder to judge someone's size.
Photos that look old. Faded colours, lower image quality or dated styles and hairstyles are giveaways, especially if she's over 30.
She never shows her teeth when smiling. She may be self-conscious about her smile.
Very few photos. Beautiful women usually have plenty of great photos, so a thin or obscure selection is telling.
Her phone covers her face in selfies. She may be hiding her face or smile.
No close-ups at all. Another sign of insecurity about her face or skin.
Only baggy clothes. Loose outfits hide a figure, and women who only wear them tend to be larger.
What to do if you're not sure
If her profile doesn't make it clear what she looks like, ask for her Instagram and move the conversation there. You'll see more of her photos and get a better idea. Here's what to text after you get her Instagram or WhatsApp.
The flip side for men
Women know how to look good in photos. Most men don't, so guys often look worse on their dating profiles than they do in real life. If that sounds like you, check the dating profile photos that are costing you matches.
Common questions
How can I tell if a girl will look like her dating photos?
Look for patterns: only close-ups, lots of high angles, heavy filters, old-looking photos, very few pictures or only baggy clothes. Several of these together are a strong signal.
Is one red flag enough to unmatch?
No. Some women are insecure about minor things. A single red flag means little; it is a combination of them that should make you cautious.
What should I do if I can't tell what she looks like?
Ask for her Instagram and continue the conversation there, so you can see more of her photos.
