If you’re looking to meet Latin singles in dating sites, you definitely would want to look your absolute best. Since your pictures are practically the main highlight of your online dating profile, you definitely would want to make sure you’re showing off your best side. People are visual beings, and if you want to attract hot Columbian women, you also have to put in the effort to look decent, if not extra.

Here are some handy tips to help you increase your chances of making beautiful Latin girls notice or at least appreciate you.

Tip #1: Start with a clear picture of your face.

This may sound like an ultra-basic tip, but this actually is very important. Avoid too-filtered photos and help the audience get to have a clear sight of your face. Go for a photo that’s headshot or from the waist up. The clearer, the better.

Tip #2: Vacation pictures are always the safe route.

Vacation pictures make you look worldly, fun, and open-minded. Colombian singles may view you as someone who wants to explore the world as much as they do. It’s a good impression you would definitely want to sport. Choose your best vacation and find your best picture in that favorite destination of yours.

Tip #3: Use group photos sparingly.

If you use a group photo as your profile picture, other users might have a hard time figuring out which among the group is you. If your best picture is one where you’re in a group photo, it’s okay to upload it, but don’t fill your profile with mainly just group photos. Also, you would want to push that photo to the end of your series of photos to further avoid confusing other users.

Tip #4: Photos with kids not your own can be shaky.

Even if you naturally love children, people might wonder if they’re yours. You would need to clarify that bit if you really want to push that photo. But if you want to avoid risk of having other people wonder about the wrong things, you might just want to skip this type of photo—even though a lot of Latin American girls do like guys that are good with children.

Tip #5: Avoid pictures of a car. Like, just the car.

It’s okay to flaunt a picture of you in a car or with a car, but going for a photo of just the car might not be the best move. You aren’t a car. You’re a human. Period. A lot of men go this route which might just end up making hot Columbian women back away instead of actually attracting them. While it’s true that some girls want guys with nice cars, setting just the car as your profile picture is a different story.

Tip #6: Variety is good.

Post photos that exude variety. This means posting various photos that express the real you. Post photos that indicate your likes and your personality as a whole. For example, if you’re an active person, you can post the photos of you in your recent cycling session or tennis day. Your profile is a way to tell a story—your story. And any Latino mail order bride would want to know more about you through the pictures you choose to display on your profile.

Tip #7: No to hunting photos.

This might look cool to some, but not for pretty Latina women—not for most of the decent people around. Nobody should take pride in killing something, especially if it’s an endangered animal like a sea turtle or a rhino. If you upload this kind of photo, chances are you won’t just end up getting ignored, you also could end up getting definitely hated.

Tip #8: Photos with pets are always good.

It’s always a good idea though to upload photos with your pet, especially if your pet is cute and cuddly. In fact, when dating a Colombian girl, you can even include a pet in the journey. Once you meet up with your potential match, you can bring your pet with you on your date in the park or perhaps gift her a pet on a special occasion. It’s one way to create bond and memories.

Tip #9: Shirtless shots should be tastefully done.

You did all the hard work to achieve that body, and you have all the rights to show it off. After all, you’ve got what it takes. But a word of caution: just try to be careful about the kind of shirtless photo you upload. If you have this sexy shirtless photo of you on your recent trip to the beach, that would great. But if you have this headless selfie in front of the mirror where all people see is the torso part, you might want to just leave that in your phone’s photo gallery.

Tip #10: Back to basics: Make sure the photo is high-quality.

If you don’t have the so-called ‘best picture’ sporting your best angle, the best thing you can do is to at least find a picture that is not blurry and grainy and definitely clear. Also, make sure that it’s cropped properly. It’s that basic, but if done wrong might lead to lots of missed opportunities.

Before you ask how to date a Colombian woman, ask yourself first if you’re doing the basic stage of online dating right. Check your profile and see if it already looks pretty in Latin girls’ eyes.
