If you’re a woman looking for love, these are the four photos you MUST have on your dating profile
Essential pics include a gym selfie, a glamorous shot and a holiday snap
LADIES, if you were wondering why more people aren't swiping right for you, this could well be the reason.
According to relationship experts, how successful a woman's dating profile is all comes down to the pictures.
While this sounds glaringly obvious in many ways (after all, the world of online dating tends to be a pretty shallow realm) it's all to do with what you're wearing, where you're being snapped and who's taking the photo.
Research for the launch of the HTC Desire 530 found men hailed taking selfies as a turn on when it came to impressing online.
With that in mind, here are the four essential snaps you must have on your profile to boost dating success.
