The Real Reason People Use Old Dating Photos (It's Not What You Think)

Let's connect directly! I want to know who is listening and get to know you personally! Text me, I'm a REAL person not a robot

This week's episode reveals fascinating research about why we all fall into surprisingly similar patterns with our dating app photos – and how it might be sabotaging our chances at real connection!

Introducing... "The Real Reason People Use Old Dating Photos (It's Not What You Think)" – because understanding the psychology behind our photo choices changes everything about how we present ourselves online.

Why this topic? Because a 2021 study of over 500 Tinder profiles revealed eight distinct types of profile pictures that almost everyone falls into – including myself! When I started researching this topic, I was shocked to discover my own patterns with selfie control.

In this eye-opening episode, you'll discover:

• The eight profile types researchers identified (from "Selfie Specialist" to "Social Butterfly")
• Why less than 1% of profiles show authentic, real-life situations
• The "Validation Trap" that keeps us playing roles instead of being real
• Three crucial questions to ask yourself about your current profile photos
• How fear of vulnerability might be blocking your perfect match

But I'm not just here to point out the patterns – I'm here to help you create an authentic profile that attracts genuine connections!
