Most guys and many women even, have very strange, weird, and creepy pics of themselves on their profiles because they either don't know how to take a good picture of themselves, don't know how to hold the camera right, or don't even know what a good picture looks like. Either way, you need to have good pics on your profile or you're going to scare most of the women away. Odds are, you already have.
Think about the pics that are on your profile right now. Would you be able to walk up to any single woman on the street, show it to her, ask her if she'd be willing to go out on a date with him, and have her give an enthusiastic yes, or at least a warm maybe? Your pics need to be able to get one of these reactions, especially with your main one.
One thing that I don't see in a lot of men's pics, but which makes a world of difference, is a smile. You need to smile in your pics. And I mean a nice big grin with your teeth showing. Profiles that have pics of men who are smiling and looking straight into the camera, get 500% more responses than profiles with pics of men that are not smiling. This is a fact.
If you're uncomfortable with smiling into the camera, try holding the camera out in front of you at arm's length, making one of those big cheesy smiles like little kids do, and then relaxing just a bit. You need to practice doing this over and over again until you can get at least one or two good ones of you smiling.
Now sure, smiling into the camera, especially when you're taking it yourself, may feel cheesy, and you may not have anything to smile about at the time, but that's not what's important. What is important is what your pics tell a woman about you.
Do your pics say; here is a man who is happy with his life, feels good about himself, and has his act together? If not, then I would suggest that take your current pics down right now and take some new and better ones as soon as you can. Or better yet, have someone else take them for you so you don't have that typical, "I'm by myself, looking into the mirror and holding the camera out in front of me awkwardly trying to look somewhat natural, because I don't have anyone else to take it for me", look.
And you should have pics taken of you in a variety of places and situations. Take a camera with you everywhere you go, especially at public events and social gatherings. And not because of the group shots you can get, forget about those, but because of the backgrounds behind you and what you'll be wearing. Having these types of pics on your profile will help to portray you as the kind of guy who can adapt himself properly to fit in at any social situation, rather than a guy who has to take a pic of himself in his bedroom or bathroom.
What you're trying to convey with your pics is that you are a confident and able man who can mingle with people at a social gathering, just as easily as he can relax at home in a t-shirt and jeans. And whatever it is that you're doing, even if you're just sitting at home, be sure to dress well. If you're taking a pic of yourself at home, at least put on a clean shirt and comb your hair and save the cap for when you're outside. And let me make this next point perfectly clear...
Taking a picture of yourself with your shirt off and flexing your muscles or posing in some way trying (not very subtly) to look bigger than you normally do, turns women off. When you take a picture of yourself with your shirt off, and it doesn't matter how "appropriate" the situation is, what you are telling a woman is that, you unconsciously believe that you are not interesting enough as a person to gain her interest, without having to flex your stuff.
Get pics of you smiling comfortably and looking straight into the camera. Get some taken with your Mom, your friends, your co-workers, and your relatives. But not with so many of them that it becomes a group shot. Most group shots are just unnecessary filler material. They can be hard to see the person whose profile it is, and many times they can be confusing, especially when they're used as the main one.
Get pics taken with your kids or your pets, in a suit at a social function, out at a park taking a stroll, having dinner at a nice restaurant, in front of your house or car, sitting in your backyard enjoying a cold drink, or just smiling comfortably into the camera for no particular reason.
