相親有訣竅！頭像照片怎麼選才能給人好印象
Sometimes it is important to get back to basics in the over-50 dating game. Anyone who is out there trying to find a mate would know what sort of photos to present to the world, but there is evidence to indicate perhaps not. We all respond initially to appearance, so a few basics are worth keeping in mind.
有時候就得迴歸50歲以上人士的約會法則。凡是想找伴侶的應該知道向世人展示什麼樣的照片，但似乎還有人不知道。我們都首先會對外貌有所反應，所以得牢記以下幾點基本要素。
1) Don't make your best photo your primary one. If your primary photo is fabulous and the others are not, you're setting yourself up for those viewing you to be disappointed as they scroll through the other pictures. Make your primary photo a good one, just not the best.
1）不要把你最佳的相片作主打。要是你的主打照片光彩照人，而其他人卻並非如此，那人們滾動屏幕瀏覽你照片時心生失望便是你咎由自取了。
2) Don't include bad photos! I'm not talking about photos of you making a funny face, but why include photos that simply aren't flattering?
2）拍得不好的照片不要選。不是說你做鬼臉的照片，但選些不能突出你優勢的照片意義何在？
3) Photos of yourself when you were a little bit younger are OK. Let's operate on the assumption that we all think we looked better when we were in college. If you've been out of college more than 30 years, those photos aren't helpful.
3）選前兩年稍年輕的照片固然可以，但可以這樣假設，我們都自認大學時代狀態更好。可你要是已大學畢業30年之多，選那些照片便無所裨益。
4) Have more than one photo, ideally more than three or four. If you only post one and it's really flattering, there may be the perception that you just happened to get lucky. And if you only post only one and it's not so wonderful, it will be difficult to expect dating prowlers to want to find out more about your wide range of interests, unique accomplishments and ability to look as good in a little black dress as you do in jeans - one of those boilerplate profile comments that continue to baffle.
4）選至少一張照片，最好不止三四張。你要是就貼一張圖，而且很上相，人們會覺得那是你運氣好才拍得美照一張。要是你貼的唯一一張照片也讓人難以恭維，那就不要指望別人求約會尋伴侶時會有興趣深挖你興趣有多廣泛、成就有多特別、穿小黑裙是不是和穿牛仔褲一樣迷人奪目，看條千篇一律的資料照評論還讓別人一頭霧水。
5) Don't include photos that clearly contradict your profile. If you describe yourself as "athletic and toned" and you post photos with extra layers of tonnage, that probably isn't helping your cause. Different body types are wonderful, and most people are fine with dating folks of varying shapes and sizes. Just make an effort to have words and pictures coincide.
5）不要選和你資料內容相悖的照片。如果你自述“運動有型、健美結實”，而所貼照片卻肥碩敦實得多，那估計無益你的擇偶大業。人各有形不是壞事，多數人可以接受和不同身形體態的人約會。只要出把力讓文字描述和照片內容相一致就好。
6) Pictures of you next to the Eiffel Tower or Great Wall of China are fine. We enjoy seeing where you've traveled, and it may even reveal something about you. Pictures of just the Eiffel Tower or Great Wall are ridiculous. We are interested in seeing you.
6）你站在埃菲爾鐵塔旁、長城邊的照片固然沒有問題，我們樂於看你去哪兒玩了，照片甚至會透露出你的一點訊息。但貼純埃菲爾鐵塔和長城的照片就好笑了，我們的興趣在於要看到你。
7) Please include at least one full-length photo. We want to know that how you describe yourself is in touch with the reality of what you look like.
7）記得要上傳至少一張全身照。我們想知道你的自我描述和現實中的你是否對得上號。
8) If you're in a group photo, tell us who you are. One might think that it is obvious where you are, but it often isn't. If the photo is of you and your kids or grandkids, we can probably tell. If it's you and five other women your age,help us find you.
8）如果你在集體照裏，告訴我們哪個是你。或許你覺得這是顯而易見的事情，但事實往往並非如此。如果照片是你和你的小孩或者兒孫輩在一起，我們基本可以判別；但你要是和其他五個年齡相仿的女士一起，得幫我們定位你。
9) If you are wearing sunglasses in all of your photos, or they are fuzzy, or far away, don't expect to be flooded with emails.
9）要是所有的相片裏你都戴墨鏡，或者說照片模糊，遠距離拍攝，那也不要指望郵件會紛至沓來。
10) Don't have photos standing next to cardboard cutouts of Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton or anyone. No particular reason. It just bugs me.
10）不要貼你站在羅納德·里根、比爾·克林頓（總之就是名人啦）還有其他什麼人的鏤空紙版像旁的照片。沒有特別的理由，就是糟心。
