Founder of online dating site OKCupid, Christian Rudder, has revealed about the things that make online users' profile photos good.
Rudder said that earnest pictures might be more effective than ironic ones on the site, the Huffington Post reported.
By giving an example of a former OkCupid user, who didn't have much luck on the site, Rudder explained that his profile snap, which displayed only the lower half of his face and a piece of cake, might have pushed away potential matches.
According to Rudder, funny photos could be great, but they don't make people agree to meet for a beer if they can't see what one looks like.
Rudder further added that feedback from others, generally based on a user's picture, determines the matches he or she sees.
