That last woman you were interested in while you were adult dating and sent a dick pic to, forwarded this article to you because all of the previous attempts by relationship and dating bloggers all around the world couldn’t convince you not to do it.

I understand, you are probably a good guy and your logical male brain convinced you that if you follow the golden rule, by sending her the type of picture, you most would like to receive from her and break the ice early, you might see a NSFW photo of the new woman who caught your eye.

At most, you probably got an emoji smile, wink, or a thumbs up in response to one of your previous dick pics. Those women were trying to be sensitive to your immaturity. They didn’t want to make you feel worse. No, they didn’t like it. They didn’t feel comfortable confronting you. Most women will simply ghost you afterwards.

So here’s 10 suggestions of pics you should send to get a new woman interested in you:

10. Anything BUT A Dick Pic.

Really! It is just that simple. If you are going to send something, send anything but that.

9. Your passion (hobby, art, cooking, sports, etc.)

What do you enjoy? What do you care about? A photo of you actually doing that activity with others is way more powerful than talking about it. If you actively dating, you should post photos of you doing all the interests you claim to be interested in. Don’t underestimate the power of a photo of you doing the dishes.

8. Travel

Where was the last exotic place you went to? Did you take a selfie with the Eiffel Tower or your favorite Disney character? Perhaps you just got lost hiking a trail and enjoy the solitude of the wilderness. Maybe you had a staycation and turned the living room into a fort. Show the adventurous/creative side of you to her, so she wants to imagine being your travel mate.

7. Halloween Costume (Seasonal)

So who are you one the day a year when you can be anybody? Do you get creative with your costumes? Do you have fun at parties? Or are you the guy who sits at home and hands out the candy? All of these ways of celebrating can be enticing to a woman.

6. Funny Faces

Just like the Halloween photo, put on a good face instead of a standard blah, I hate having my photo taken face and see what a difference it makes. When taking a group photo I take a serious one, then a funny face. Then I ask for “normal” one again and that is usually the best photo of the bunch. Many a woman has been seduced by just one amazing smile.

5. Your Pet or Animals

Pets are a great natural way to get someone to pay more attention to your photo. It works for marketing brands and it will work for you too. Don’t have a dog or cat? Borrow a friends. Its worth dropping $5 on lettuce at the zoo to get the giraffe to pose with you. Bonus points if you get it to stick out its tongue!

4. Your Mother

When I met my wife, digital photography was just taking off. Chatting was popular for meeting people, but most only had a few digitized photos to share. I remember exchanging pictures with my wife. She sent me a head shot. I was concerned about what she was hiding. She had a great smile so I went along. I had a digital camera at the time and looked at all my photos. I was severely overweight and wanted one that didn’t make me look fat. I found one of my mother and I taken straight on sitting down. No belly at all! Perfect!

Later when I asked my wife why she like my photo, she said it was because I sent her a photo with my mom. It meant that I loved my mom and had a good relationship with her. All those good qualities instantly got associated with me without her asking. I sent a huge, positive, non-verbal message completely by accident. It was all true, I have a great relationship with my parents. I would never write that in a dating profile, but this was a great way to say a lot with just one image.

3. Dressed To Kill

Remember that last wedding for which you had to break out a tux? How about a great looking suit?

If you have no style, the matching shirt/tie box sets at any department store are your friend. Kick it up a notch by going with a classic white dress shirt with sleeves rolled up. Triple bonus points for a pair of glasses on your nose with you looking over the top with a serious, studious glance. Consider one with you untie undone, so she might think about tying it for you.

While it’s harder to work it into a photo, clean manicured hands and great shoes say almost as much about you as that photo with your mother. These are the secret “tells” women use to size you up and see if your talk matches your walk.

2. Kids (Feel Free to Borrow Others)

The number one trait for both millennial men and women when deciding on a partner is “Will they be a good parent?”

Kids, like the pet photo idea above, are an excellent way to get your photo more attention. If you already have kids or are divorced, use them! If you don’t, a photo of you playing with kids or showing that “kids like you” is a huge attraction trigger for women. They all assume men do not like or want kids. Showing the kids like you puts you miles ahead before you even start.

1. Smiling

So to come full circle, sending any photo besides a dic pic is your best bet in building attraction that might ultimately lead to a mutually satisfying relationship. Since they first want to see your face before your body parts, please work on your smile.

A vast majority of profile photos show people who hate having their photo taken and feel like they are in a police line up. Flat, pressed lips show contempt, not the open, fun loving guy you want to date.

Take a picture of yourself after watching something honestly funny. Notice your face, there should be a crease between your eyes, your mouth is open, and corners of your mouth curved up. Try practicing making this face in the mirror. You are going to feel like the Joker in the original Batman. That’s normal, keep practicing.

Start being mindful of the emotion you want to convey in a photo even if you are not feeling it the moment the shutter button is pressed. People subconsciously judge you and your emotional feeling by your face in photos. For years, I have been practicing my smile for photos and I constantly get told by strangers that I am a happy, open, and fun-loving guy.

Why? Because so many of my photos consistently show that emotional state. That is my natural emotional state.

If you flip through 10 of your dating profile photos, what is the emotional take away the visitor is going to get? These first photos you send by text are heavily weighted as a new prospect is getting to know you, make them count!
