First impressions matter, and nowhere is that more true than on dating apps. That profile picture is your chance to grab someone's attention and make them want to know more. So how do you choose the right one?

Guys: Ditch the bathroom mirror selfies and group photos where you're barely recognizable. Showcase your personality!A genuine smile, an active shot doing a hobby you enjoy, or a travel pic with a stunning backdrop all convey confidence and approachability. Avoid blurry photos, excessive filters, or anything that screams "partied too hard."

Girls: While a glamorous night-out pic can be eye-catching, balance it out with something more revealing. A photo engaged in an activity you love - hiking, painting, or volunteering - shows your passions and interests. Selfies are okay,but make sure they're well-lit and showcase your natural beauty. Skip heavily filtered photos or anything overly posed. Let your personality shine through!
