Ladies what type of online pic gets your attention? Sexy Stare or Friendly smile?

[PhillyDude]

This has been a ongoing debate with friends but the numbers still seem to be split down the middle if the guy is considered attractive. I always thought it was less attractive for women when they don't smile instead of a guy. So what would you say? Or it wouldn't matter if you are attracted to the guy?

Sexy confident smile. Like a group picture where you're smiling into the camera but later crops out the rest of your friends to post online.

Actually, OKCupid studies have shown that women prefer pictures where men smile. On the other hand, men seem to prefer "sexy stare" women rather than smiles.

I tend to be attracted to friendly looking women.

Yeah, there are always exceptions. But they were talking about taking a sample size of 500 men and on average they prefer sexy stare rather than smile.

I don't use online dating but... guys who take photos of themselves, posing, pouting, 'staring', is not attractive at all to me. It screams vanity and I don't want a guy who cares more about the way he looks than me.

 

A perfect picture in my eyes would be a big smile with some mates somewhere outdoorsy (camping, mountains, beach). I like a man who likes nature.

I think sometimes guys think they are emanating a sexy stare, but it often looks more serial killerish than sexy:laugh:

 

I am way more attracted to a smile. A "sexy stare" looks like the guy is trying way too hard.

there is a fine line between sexy and creepy stare.

It does not matter. It depends on how attractive your face is. Smile may help but it depends on face. If a face is really bad, no smile can make it better.

Depends on how your face looks smiling versus not. I had a smiling pic up and a GF suggested a different pic not smiling, changed to it and the increase in views/mails/responses was significant.
