Photos: Nonverbal communication at it's finest.

Someone once said that 80% of communication is nonverbal. I don't know exactly how that was determined... but nonverbal communication is extremely important.

But, as men, we often focus on the words we use in our profile. We rely on them to let women know who we are, and why we're interesting. We use our words to define ourselves.

And, if you've got a compelling, interesting, and believable identity, women will respond.

But, a lot of guys forget the importance of the photos. Because they're a form of nonverbal communication. And they can give you away, if you're trying to fake an intriguing identity.

If you say you're a "man of adventure", but your photos are all in your office and with your nephews... women won't buy your story.

If you define yourself as the life of any party, but your photos are all of you alone - she'll believe your photos. Not your story.

If you define yourself as a refined, classy guy, but you don't have the wardrobe to match - again, they ain't gonna buy it.

So, keep these things in mind, as you select your photos. Women are not stupid.
