Spruce up Your Online Dating Profile With These 7 Tips

Our number one photo tip? Make sure you include pictures of you doing things. You'll get more messages if your pictures show you involved in an activity. If you took a surfing lesson, put that up — it shows you're adventurous. Play the piano? Have someone snap a photo next time you're tickling the ivories. Studies show that pictures taken outside get more messages as well, so go take a hike.

It also gives potential mates conversation starters. When a friend was surprised with tickets to "Hamilton," she put that photo up. Her now-boyfriend opened with the line, "I'm so jealous."
