They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This means that as you are looking for the love, how you pose on your profile picture will speak a lot about you.
A new study shows that obvious things such as putting on a smile while posing for a picture are not enough to convince your crush about how nice you can be.
Your posture is crucial to determine if one will like you or not.
Princeton University researchers explain that people will succeed to lure their crush if they adopt an expansive posture in their photos.
Your arms should be facing outward rather than folded. You should also spread your legs apart instead of crossing them.
“People are more likely to be successful if they adopt expansive postures in their photos. For instance, your arms should face outward rather than folded,” writes lead author Tanya Vacharkulksemsuk.
These postures reveal traits such as openness and dominance which study reveals they are more attractive.
“By applying dominance you are attempting to signal to some potential mate that you can do things, you’ve got the space within the hierarchy and you got access to sources,” she added.
