The pictures you text to your  new phone friends can say a lot about you as a person but can also give people information that you may not want them to have. Take a look at the pictures that you are sharing and only select photographs that do not disclose where you might be at any given point in time. Some people also choose to tell people their location as a city that is 10 to 15 minutes away from the actual town they are from. The great thing about safety and phone dating is that you can choose the level and amounts of information you want on your profile. Remember, safety is essential and is a priority of ours. It should be a priority for you as well.

Bonus points if you can express parts of your personality and things that you enjoy doing in your pictures. If you enjoy stuff from the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, such as wearing that style of clothes and doing your hair in ways hair was done in that period, go ahead and share those pictures. For people that love nature, rock climbing, or other hobbies, sharing a picture of you doing that hobby can be an excellent opportunity for people to recognize that they have similar hobbies. This can inspire conversation in people that do not take the time to read each person’s profile description of themselves.

Pictures are a window into the lives of potential dating partners. Each person on the phone dating hotline gets to choose how far to open that window and what to include. Keep your profile pictures safe, and post them with goals in mind. Goals that you can choose include things that help display your personality, things that help show what types of things you are passionate about and love, and simple pictures that you feel you look good in. Keeping an honest representation of yourself is a great idea; your profile pictures are your first window for meeting new people.
