With dating sites, you always want to put your best foot
forward. Even if it is hanging off a cliff with clear blue waters underneath.
The more daring the more attractive, right? Maybe for some. Being well-traveled
is perceived better than having a picture taken by your fireplace. Here are 4
Reason Why Everyone Uses Travel Photos on Their Dating Profiles.
1. A different side
People want to show a different side that isn’t shown on a daily
basis. It is already known that certain colors on a photo attract people to
view your profile. This is also true for those that use dating sites. Dating
sites are used for capturing a person’s attention and hoping that they become
Mr./Mrs. Right. Therefore, showing a side that is not seen every day is ideal.
There is a saying, “Everyone is showing off their highlights.” You could have
used all of your savings to get to Greece to take that one breathtaking photo
in front of the pillars of Olympia. That breathtaking photo just caught the eye
of someone that you define as your type.
2. Travel shows romance
Lisa Marie Bobby stated that
many people do not think their day to day routine shows who they really are. If
they work a 9-5 then chances are they don’t have much time to “let their hair
down” or go out with friends. It can be a challenge for some when it comes time
to put yourself out there on a dating site. This is the reason for dating
sites, but for those that have that chance to take a vacation once a year, will
find a way to capture that perfect travel picture. Dating experts say that
having people in your background or a drink in your hand can increase your
likes.
They are saying have a bar in presence, but a simple drink that
you enjoy – alcoholic or not – make it as presentable as you are. Travel can be
perceived as romantic. Especially, if you pair yourself with hanging lights on
a local street in Rio de Janeiro in a sleek white outfit with a drink in hand
or holding your hand out while hiking in Machu Picchu. Regardless of the scene,
it shows an interesting, fun, and sexy side to the individual. Couples who
travel together, live happily together. Traveling gurus like D. Scott
Carruthers also agree about the love language and excitement that traveling can
be seen as on a dating profile picture.
3. Travel decreases stress
Stress levels can decrease for several reasons, but traveling is
considered one of the top stress reducers. This is because your brain is
perceiving wonders that are outside of what you normally experience. Think
about Paris, taking a picture with your back to the lights of the city while
you’re atop the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe is in focus behind you;
does that not sound like a stress reliever? Those interested in you will see
that you’re capable of releasing your stress into the air and capture a moment
of peace. Peace is a valued concept that is hard to achieve at times. If you
are able to achieve peace within yourself and capture it in a picture, you
become more desirable.
4. Conversation starter
Researchers say that a travel photo makes
the individual seem like an adventurous, rich, and interesting person that own
their self-development. This translate into the ideal mate. Travel photos on a
dating profile can break the ice when it comes to mingling on the internet and
in person. The first thing that can be said is, “We should go visit Venice.
It’s beautiful there this time of year.”
