Using Photos for Adult Dating, Bristol Viewpoint

A picture paints a thousand words, a photo a million pixels. Using photographs in adult personals isn’t anything new, but surprisingly, many people don’t bother. We think images are vital to adult dating. Bristol user Leslie says she won’t contact, or answer contacts from anyone without a profile picture.

Here at UK Adult Contacts, we encourage people to use images of themselves to give the opposite sex an idea of what they are buying into. Men especially are visually stimulated. Even those looking for email or chat only relationships will want a picture.

“I need to see who I’m talking to. It doesn’t matter if I’m not planning on meeting them, I need to be physically attracted to someone in order for them to get the right reaction from me. It’s the least I expect when adult dating.” Bristol user, Leslie says.

A picture is therefore essential if you want to get the most responses, and the most out of our site. However, a quick word of caution. The photo on a profile isn’t necessarily reflective of the person you’re talking to. In an email/chat scenario that’s fine, because you’re creating a fantasy. It becomes more problematic if you plan on meeting up…

On standard dating websites, people spend a long time posing in their best outfits in nice locations to capture that special moment. On UK Adult Contacts, there is a tendency to make the images a little more descriptive. After all, most of our users aren’t after marriage, just a little fun in the sun.

So when creating a profile on our site, make it a good one. It doesn’t have to be a posed shot in front of the Eiffel tower or anything romantic, but let the other users of the site get a good look at what’s on offer. Which parts you display in your shop window is up to you. This is after all, adult dating. Bristol user Leslie agrees.
