Picture Perfect

There's no getting around it: we humans are very visual creatures!  Although we usually don't try to judge a book by its cover, we still make unconscious decisions based on appearance.  When online dating, the photos you use can either help you succeed, or lead to constant disappointment... 

On one hand, you shouldn't over-analyze the importance of your profile photos, since they are only part of your online presence and personality on 2RedBeans.  

But on the other hand, keep in mind that there are many good reasons to advertise for yourself when looking for Mr. or Ms. Right!

快速约会或相亲，怎样让更多的人对你心仪？

English

根据这篇最近Cal Tech的研究，快速相亲有两大决定性因素：

1. 外貌体型是否可人。
2. 是否亲切，让人容易接近。

与此同时，对于第一点，一般人在几秒中内就已心中有数。所以，我们给相亲的朋友一个建议。一定要做到下面两点：

• 穿着清爽不邋遢，外表不要成为自己的减分项目
• 时常微笑，对人友好。

别忘了报名参加我们下一个快速相亲活动哦。链接在此。
