Single soldiers hoping to find love through online dating may want to take their time when choosing a suitable photograph for their profile.<\/p>\n

This is because Lisa Kirchner, writing for Your Tango, noted some types of picture can be very off-putting for potential partners.<\/p>\n

The expert advised guys to avoid appearing as too much of a "player" in his pose.<\/p>\n

Fellas who post an image of themselves with another woman or drunk with friends at a bar are unlikely to receive much positive feedback, she explained.<\/p>\n

Ms Kirchner also recommended blokes should avoid appearing too narcissistic with their profile shots, such as arty poses, as it can suggest a person is too concerned about their own appearance.<\/p>\n

The writer added: "If your prospect can't be bothered to post a decent picture, you shouldn't count on that person to pay attention to you."<\/p>\n

David Kamau from courting advice site e-DateCentral.com recently claimed one of the best things about flirting via the web is that it can be light-hearted and stress-free.<\/p>\n
