What is the best kind of picture to post for a profile for a single sub to connect with a single Dom that would attract a true sincere Dom and not a guy who is just looking for a booty call?

By "true sincere" I assume you mean someone interested in a long term relationship involving affection, love, and tenderness?

The key to meeting compatible men on this site is you contacting the profiles that you like rather than waiting to attract them. As far as I can tell, most men will happily entertain some number of email exchanges without any pic at all. I have two pics I email privately. I expect the next the step to be either a continuation of pleasant communication or they ask me out on a date of some kind. My happiest outcomes were with men that I initiated contact with. (Not a single man I initiated contact with had a profile pic. My profession requires discretion and I want to be with a like-minded person)

I do know that some men say they are skeptical of the success of long term relationship with someone with salacious pics. But who knows? As soon as I say this I will read about true love blossoming because Juliet sported the nipple rings of his fantasy. Personally, the right kind of shower curtain rings in the background of the profile pic are what get me going. Always check out the space available for an extra towel on the towel rack. Raaar.

Don't let your pictures do the talking. Pictures are nice, but you are going to have to put forth the effort to find your match.

Then again.... What do I know? I met mine through a seedy Craigslist ad. :P

In a photo, someone will know if they find your physical features attractive.
If you're playing baseball, you'll be very attractive to baseball fans.
You'll also be attractive to every horny guy looking to score.
That's just the roll of the dice.

Your current pic: Crop off the peeling paneling that's on the wall of the trailer as well as the duct tape holding the plastic in place over the window. Crop off the sockless cowboy boots. That might be a turn off for some men.

To accessorize your very cute dress, I would wear an orange or brown bolero and strappy leather sandal wedges. Take the photo in front of a well landscaped restaurant, but make sure that you are not including anything in the background that identifies the restaurant. Another option is to take a pic in a public park. Outdoor lighting is very flattering in the half hour before sunset.

"would attract a true sincere Dom and not a guy who is just looking for a booty call?"

The second hope in that phrase, OP, isn't possible lol.

As to the first, generally just showing pics that are honest about yourself whatever those may be. Maybe you're someone to be more modest and feminine on here, do that and you'll likely meet up with a male at some point who likes that. If you were more tomboyish, you'd eventually meet someone who liked that about you. If you posted a lot of overtly sexy, then you'd find someone that liked that in you.

The last there is most likely going to bring you more wanky or one night stand sorts, but if it's were accurately expressing your style then it's accurately expressing your style.

What I'm basically saying is that no matter what you put up you're going to get the sort of emails you don't want from guys totally unsuitable for you. So, in my opinion put up whatever shows bits of your personality and just weed through the folks that don't match you until you find one that does.

Perhaps rather than kind you might ask where. The latter question I have no idea.

Be Well

It really doesn't matter. Those looking for quick sex will hit up every available chick in their area. Even if you had no picture those types would still message.

It will be up to you to weed those out. A picture isn't going to do it for you.

A picture of yourself in a festive Christmas sweater while knitting would be most optimal and dare I say adorable.

I agree.

On the day after Christmas, I had at least 20 messages before I even finished writing my profile (and before it had even one picture).

At this point, about a fewer than two weeks after creating it, I have 8 pages in my mail and 25 pages in the bulk folder.
At 20 messages per page, that's over 650 people contacting me, which is more than 50 per day!

It really doesn't matter - I'm beginning ot think all that matters are the basic stats.

Take photos of you that will resonate with the sort of guy you seek.

Pictures of you working at a charity event or at some scenic place.

Hi SimplyMichael,

You're welcome to google my pics, as they're real.

My point to the OP was that she could just take a picture of her sitting in a chair or lounging on a piano - as long as she expressed herself with body language.
