Choose only the best

Choose only the pictures in which you look the best. If you upload ten pictures and you only look good in three of them, then the other seven are creating a bad impression. It would be far better to only have those three in which you look your best. If in doubt, put your pictures up on a photo-rating site like www.HotorNot.com, and see which ones receive the highest rating.

Embed pictures into your profile

We have found that actually embedding pictures into your profile is the easiest and most effective way to make a great first impression on girls. This allows a girl to get a snapshot of how exciting and fun you are. Remember, your page is your way of demonstrating how cool and how socially desirable you are. Use a range of pictures showing different aspects of your personality. Have some action shots, some travel shots, some of you with your niece or your dog, some partying with hot girls, some doing something goofy, etc.

On Facebook, you just need to add an application like Big Photo or Slideshows. On MySpace, the first step is to upload your pictures to an image hosting site like www.photobucket.com or your own MySpace photo album.

Next, paste the following HTML code into any section you want the photo to show up (i.e. About Me, Interests, Who I’d like to Meet):

<img src=”http://www.imagehost.com/images/pic.jpg” width=”400”>
<br />

Where http://www.imagehost.com/images/pic.jpg will be re-placed with the URL pointing to your image. By specifying the width property in the <img> tag you ensure that your photos will have a consistent width (the height of the image will be adjusted automatically to maintain the original aspect ratio). This technique will ensure that your images are not too large and that they’re easy to view.

Hint: write funny captions to go along with your pictures to demonstrate even more of your personality
Just paste the following HTML code above the embed image code shown above:

<div><font size=+2>Picture caption</font></div>

Main profile picture

For your main profile picture, if you are going to put up a picture of just yourself, make it either a really good/professional picture (no wannabe modeling pictures with your shirt off please), or one of you doing something exciting like surfing, rock-climbing, pos-ing in front of the Eiffel Tower, dancing, etc. Otherwise make it a group picture with cute girls in it. If you don’t have any, go out to a club and tell the hottest girl you can find that you need some new MySpace/Facebook pictures to make your ex-girlfriend jeal-ous. Girls love to make other girls jealous!

Caution: If you are going to put up a picture of you with your shirt off, make sure you are in good shape and doing an activity where it is appropriate to have it off (i.e. at the beach, playing football, etc.). But just to be safe, don’t put up a picture of you shirtless…EVER!

OTHER USEFUL ATTRACTION ELEMENTS AND TIPS

Use Music
Music is a great way to connect with girls. You can find music on MySpace in the Music section, which you can get to from the main navigation bar at the top of the page. Using a playlist is even better. That way you can have a whole variety of music. We have received so many comments on the songs we have chosen. This is just one more way for her to connect with you. The playlist tool we use is: www.projectplaylist.com.

Hide your Friends List (MYSPACE ONLY)
If you are just starting and have no friends, you can place this code in any section to hide your friends list:

<style type=”text/css”>
td.text td.text table table table, td.text td.text table br, td.text td.ztext
table .orangetext15, td.text td.text .redlink, td.text td.text
span.btext {display:none;}
td.text td.text table {background-color:transparent;}
td.text td.text table td, td.text td.text table {height:0;padding:0;border:0;}
td.text td.text table table td {padding:3;}
td.text td.text table table br {display:inline;}
</style>

We recommend you do this anyway. If she can’t see your friends and sees a number of comments from gorgeous looking girls, which you can get using the technique we’ll cover next, she will definitely wonder.
If she ever asks you why your friends are hidden, just say something like, “They all kept getting jealous about who was #1” or “I am a secret agent, and I don’t want to put my friends’ lives in peril.”

Adjust your Privacy Settings (FACEBOOK ONLY)

There is far more of your personal contact information available to the general public on Facebook than on MySpace. Facebook also lists all of your recent actions on the site through a system called Mini-Feed. You can modify your privacy settings by clicking on the “privacy” link next to the “logout” link in the top right corner. We suggest that you remove all of your personal information such as email addresses and cell phone numbers. You don’t randomly give your personal contact information to people you don’t know, so why do it online?

While the mini-feed makes it convenient to see what your friends are up to online, they can also see what you are up to. By default it lists all kinds of information like who you wrote to, what you wrote, comments you made, comments you received, and even when you add a friend! For the simple fact that you are going to be messaging multiple girls, it would be counter productive for them to see that you have messaged other girls with the same or even similar messages.
