It’s a good idea to have a bunch of pictures on your dating profile that show you participating in various activities that resonate with you.

Group photos are alright, but it is best to use them in moderation.

The best group photos are the ones where you are clearly distinct.

This is when people can clearly pick you out in the group.

Whether it is in how uniquely you are dressed or look, it’s a good idea to primarily post group photos where you are clearly discernible from the bunch.

The question of how many group photos are too many depends on how many photos you have on your dating profile overall.

As a rule of thumb, have a much greater number of photos of yourself participating in activities you love than group photos.

Have one group photo for every five photos of you.

This means that if you have a total of ten photos, it is okay to have two of those photos as group photos.

As aforesaid, the key is to have group photos where you are discernible.

When people post group photos where everyone looks similar, they make it harder for prospective matches to discern who is who.

The last thing you want is to irritate and alienate your prospective matches.

This is a turn off.

As long as you practice a five to one ratio and use group photos where you are discernible, you won’t risk turning off prospective dates.

In the event that you don’t have that many individual photos, but much more group photos in your personal photo collection, you should strongly consider taking a lot more individual photos with you engrossed in activities that you love.

These are better photos to post to your dating profile.

Until then, the group photos you post to your dating profile should be annotated.

Don’t assume that prospective matches who are presented with your dating profile are capable of instantly picking you out from a group, especially when you aren’t distinct.

Until you are able to post better photos of yourself, your group photos should be annotated.

People who tend to post too many group photos on their dating profiles never bother to do this.

Having a much greater number of group photos than individual ones already has a person at a disadvantage, let alone when those group photos have no annotations.

If you are on a dating app that lets you leave comments below, above or to the side of your photos, let prospective matches know where you are located when you use a group photo.

This is a must.

It keeps prospective matches from getting turned off.

If you have any technical skills, annotate your group photos before posting them.

This is where you highlight where you are in the group with arrows or signs inside the group photo itself.

It is so much better to have a much greater number of photos of yourself indulging in activities you love than group photos.

Keeping this in mind, make it a priority to replace the majority of your group photos with individual photos as soon as you can.
