[quote=ddintysons]I hope that everyone is doing as well as possible during the COVID-19 lockdown.  I am a divorced man in my mid-50s getting back into the dating scene.

I am a tax attorney (fun day and night!!), and I have been trying on-line dating (Match, Bumble).

My issue is how to optimize my profile photos.

I was an athlete in college (I boxed) and I am good shape. Specifically, my profile photos that include my body get the most positive comments (more specifically, any photos that include my legs or that are full-body get the most comments.)  My face, which is what most people lead with, is not stellar.  I had women I have met IRF after meeting on the site tell me that I am "more handsome in person." The women who have seen me naked will compliment my body.

However, female friends that have reviewed my profile will gently suggest that I avoid just headshots.

My looks are what they are (I am bald and dark-complected, and appear older than I am).  While having a number of full-body photos can work well for a woman's profile, for a man this tends to indicate he is hiding his face (because he is married or in a relationship.)

Please know that I have taken a number of photos (including photos by professional photographers) that include or focus on my face and women still seem to focus on my body.[/quote]
