OkTrends, and profile photos

According to OkTrends: The 4 Big Myths of Profile Pictures my profile picture is all wrong for dating sites.

To be "more effective", I should use one of me not smiling and not making eye contact with the viewer.

Making eye contact, smiling, and wearing nice clothes are not useful. And outdoors and travel photos are anti-useful.



So much for so much advice.
