You should always update your pictures online. I asked my girlfriend to show me the men on Match.com that have viewed her profile and I was shocked at how many men had pictures that were at least 2 years old. The last time I was a member on Match.com was back in 2005. I was amazed to see the same men with the same old picture. And of course this goes for women too.

Why would anyone put a picture up that is over 2 years old? Hello, what are you going to say when you find someone and you meet? I believe this is only showing insecurity about who you are. No one wants to go meet someone who is 25 pounds overweight since their picture was taken.

In this day and age there is no excuse for using an old picture. Ask a friend or take you own picture using a camera. Trust me everyone you meet will respect you a lot more. Believe in who you are today and not yesterday.

Do you find browsing profiles online fun or totally depressing? I say it’s both. Last night my single girlfriend and I were checking out men for her on Match. I remember all to well what it felt like looking at men who would be interested in me. This is called a reverse search. Now, if your a women over 40 this can be a challenge. Some of the men are in their late 50’s and early 60’s. If you’re young looking or young at heart this can give you a pit in your belly. It’s all personal preference! Some women want to date an older man who’s kids are all grown up and others want a younger men. There are a lot of younger men out there interested in older women. Women without a doubt feel better about themselves as they age. Some men age very well and in my opinion they get better looking.

There is a fun side to looking because it doesn’t hurt. You just can’t sit around checking out someone’s profile yelling “Pick me”. Take a chance and write some people even if your so so interested. Be BOLD and BRAVE and just do it. I know too many people who sign up and are afraid to write members. Don’t feel rejected if they don’t write back. Remember that don’t have a clue who you or what you’re about really. We are all attracted to different types.
