What’s the best way to portray yourself online?

I don't post any photos online that I wouldn't feel comfortable giving to my parents in a photo frame.

Show more of your personality. If you love outdoor, have photos of you outside. If you have a hobby, showcase that. Smile and show happiness, unless you're more of a cool person then showcase that. You're going to be sexualized no matter what you wear and they're not going to read your profiles, so what you can do is force men to see you're a human being with life, hobbies, interest and emotions with your photos. If even with that men still treat you as sexual object, he's trash, throw him away.

On Hinge I never posted any overtly sexy pictures. But I did post pictures that showed my personality. My main was me at work shoving a piece of pizza in my face. Then I had a picture of me with a big smile in sunglasses and a sunhat at a concert, a silly old modeling photo of me blowing a bubble gum bubble, and then a waist up picture of me in a one piece bathing suit on the dock at my lake house. I was not making a sexy face in any of them. I was smiling or laughing in all of them.

I think I struck a pretty good balance and didn’t have a flood of dick pics or dead silence. Most guys were decent that I chatted with, but not all what I was looking for. No one what creepy or lecherous and I met my HVM boyfriend through that profile.

Good luck!

When I was on old I had the same issue. All my photos were long dresses, long sleeved shirt and pants but because it's and ass men would still just think I was there for them to oggle. You can't really help this. Just filter them out when they do.

Best way? As a person, first and foremost. The style depends on you.

When I say a person, I mean: You don't owe anyone a sexy picture. You don't owe them makeup. You don't owe them smiling or looking available. Your pictures should include you doing your hobbies or interests. Have selfies all over the profile - they show your face, not your body. You don't owe anyone a full body pic.

Shitty comments are not on you. There is a pic going around of a girl posting just her headset. A guy wrote "you, wearing this and nothing else, would be heaven. "

If you like to smile, do it, but if you don't, don't have any pictures with a smile. And apologize for none of those pictures.

As a mother fucking boss bitch. Doesn't matter really what you wear imo. The attention will always come because there are always going to be desperate guys who wank themselves to sleep crying every night. It's how you respond to that kind of thing that matters.

Post what you want and what makes you feel good. Block the gross men or humiliate them back into their neckbeard nests.

Personally I'm with others, I post to my comfort level. If I wouldn't be ok showing it to my family or for a stranger to recognize me and call me out on it, then it's not something I'd post.

Men will sexualise anything. Even if you just post a picture of your face, they will still do depraved shit to it. Don’t believe me? Check out this subreddit:

Edit: they will also photoshop your face onto pornographic pictures and videos. They have entire online communities dedicated to doing it for each other.

One way is to wear a shirt that shows your body off but is not revealing and looks professional, for example just a well-fitted long-sleeve, you could even wear a dress shirt and a skirt if you would like to look like a professional online. If you’d like to not draw attention to your lips, (and you wear make up), you could place more attention on your eyes with eyeliner and mascara along with a brow pencil. Taking more photos of your face will help as well if you don’t want your body to be focused on

It’s hard because what we find attractive and appropriate men can take as sexual. I have no idea. I ask myself the same thing all the time. Same with on the date. I live in Florida and am curvy too so it’s hard. Especially because you want to be clear on what your body looks like Incase the man wants someone stick thin but don’t want to put everything out there. From my research, you should take one very accurate smiling photo of your face and then 1 full length photo of yourself in a very classy dress that is tight and flattering but not revealing and you are covered up. This is going to portray a classy image to men in their mind because of the outfit choice.
