If you thought that what you need to attract women online is a good profile photo, you're probably wasting your time. Most women choose men in dating sites and on Facebook based what's written in the profile. When you're looking for love on the internet, It's important to present yourself in your best image. Even if you believe in "being yourself", you should make your "best-self" profile. For men, it's typical to spend hours in creating the most attractive photos and images. Men can make hundreds of photos and try different smiles, angles, hair styles, clothes – in order to make the perfect photo. However, perhaps you are putting efforts in the wrong issue? What about other aspects of your online profile, that you might not even be aware to? Caring About Physical Looks Every human being tends to view and perceive the world, according to his own familiarities. Now, for men – physical looks make a big difference. In fact, physical looks are the most major attraction factor for men. If a woman ever wonders, why a guy starts a conversation with her out of nowhere – the reason is simple – he's attracted to her looks (which means – body, breasts, beauty – etc.). There, because men car so much about looks, they believe that the same thing is true about women. A Woman's Attraction Mechanism Men and women are considered equal according to our today's values. However, there are yet many differences between men and women, and one of the main differences is related to our attraction mechanism. What women find attractive in men is different than what attracts men. Tens of years of research in psychology, shows that women are mainly attracted to certain masculine qualities in men. Those qualities include social skills, physical and behavioral strength, leadership, social proof (having other women who want you), and also humor. Those qualities are hardly connected to your physical looks. According to those researches, women care very little about a man's beauty. Physical Looks Are Overrated Perhaps you spent most of your time on profile pictures. You asked a friend to take photos of you, you checked your albums to choose for the best images, you kept changing photos to see "what works the best". But you probably went in the wrong direction. Recently an academic research was published, where 50 women were asked to rated men according to issues such as confidence, humor, masculinity and general attractiveness. What the research found that the women hardly paid attention to the men's photos. They judgment was mainly based on the word and information the men wrote about themselves. The conclusion of the research was that masculine and confident men wrote attractive info about themselves. Sometimes women detected confidence and attractiveness also in the images, but this wasn't necessary. Therefore, if you want to meet women via online dating sites, or by flirting on Facebook, you should improve the way you write about yourselves, how you convey your masculine qualities – and not via your profile image.

The idea of making yourself more desirable by making yourself less available doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about it. After all, Juliet would have plunged a premature dagger into the heart of her romance with Romeo if she hid in her room rather than go out on her balcony. The end of Sleepless in Seattle shifts from "awww" to "aw, no" if one of the two main characters skips the trip to the Empire State Building. As these examples from fiction show, making yourself
