And it's important to be authentic, rather than trying to be someone you think people want.

Kitty Scott-Claus said: "There is quite a bit of pressure to get it right. 'You have even less time to make a first impression on a dating app than you do in real life, so that initial picture is all-important.' The research also found it takes an average of 10 attempted pictures taken before people decide they're happy enough to upload one.

And 41 per cent have been on a date who turned out to look nothing like their profile snap . Danni Menzies opens up about catfish hell that haunts her social media and how they're cashing in on pretending to be her. On average, it takes just 14.6 seconds for daters to decide if they're looking at someone they want to connect with. And while 34 per cent say their biggest online dating pic ick is no face pictures, 32 per cent dislike 'overly sexual' poses.

Tristan Pineiro, a spokesperson from Grindr, said: 'In today's digital dating world, your profile picture is often your first impression – so put your best photo forward. 'While it can be tempting to choose an old photo or heavily filtered image, it's far more effective to show the real you. 'People are looking for genuine connections, and that starts with being upfront about who you are, including how you look.' Advertisement Kitty Scott-Claus' top tips for dating snaps Refresh that throwback. If your profile pic's older than your last situationship, it's time to update. That blurry beach snap from 2015? Cute memory but not a vibe for 2025. Make it a moment. Strike a pose that tells a story of who you are, give them something to ask about in the DMs. Snap your pics when you're feeling fab - whether that's fresh from a spin class or living your best life at Mighty Hoopla. Your joy is your glow-up. Confidence is sexy. Embrace every part of you, confidence is sexier than fantasy. Don't try to be someone you think people want; we're here for the most authentic you. Got killer arms? A dazzling smile? Show it off. Modesty is cute, but confidence is the real thirst trap. No group gaggles. We want a date, not a game of Guess Who. This is your moment to shine, solo. Switch it up. One blank stare in five mirror selfies? No ma'am it's not cute. The best dating profiles bring a range of vibes: smirks, laughs, pouts – even serious can look sexy. 4 Kitty Scott-Claus said you should always make sure your dating profile pictures are current - to avoid any awkward moments when you first meet Credit: Ben Stevens/PinPep

Daiyan says she ‘won't just settle for anyone'
Despite having all the beauty and fame in the world, love remains elusive for actress Daiyan Trisha (pic), who says she has yet to meet her Mr Right, reported Berita Harian. The 32-year-old entertainer said she has yet to find a special someone. Daiyan also denied rumours that she was in any secret relationship and that she was being picky. 'It's not that I want to keep a low profile, I'm just not in a hurry to think about love. 'Ideally, I want someone who's like-minded and in sync with me as it would only become difficult if there's no chemistry between us. 'I believe a partner is a reflection of who I am as they'll influence my discipline and attitude so I won't just settle for anyone and if it happens, it happens,' she told the daily. > Popular TV host Halim Othman has revealed that he hasn't seen his daughter, actress Myra Natasya, in over a year. Halim, whose real name is Abdul Halim Othman, 60, said that he hopes to reconcile with his estranged daughter once she has calmed down, reported Harian Metro. Their relationship became strained after Myra publicly stated in May last year that she was born out of wedlock. She also questioned the validity of her father's name on her birth certificate, claiming that her parents were never married in Thailand. 'There's been no contact, but I have sent her messages hoping that we can meet to mend our relationship. 'It's been more than a year since we last met. I'm giving her time – space to calm down and for us to reconcile,' he added. The above article is compiled from the vernacular newspapers (Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese and Tamil dailies).
