If you’ve been on a dating site for more than five minutes you know there are lots of beautiful women online. But like any other venue, there are many average looking and heavy women too.

As opposed to real life, online it can be a little bit harder to determine if a woman is of the caliber you’re looking for because women can include only pictures they look good in while omitting the ones showing how they really look.

What’s a guy to do though? How can you know what kind of woman you’re really emailing?

The easiest and most direct way to know for sure what kind of woman you’re emailing is to ask her for more pictures. If you have even a hint you’re talking to a woman who is bigger or less attractive than her pictures show her to be, it is a very good idea to ask her for more pictures.

Some women think it’s rude for a man to ask for more pictures on dating sites. That’s interesting considering how many women have hundreds of pictures on their Facebook profiles.

It is absolutely not rude to ask women for more pictures on dating sites. It’s perfectly reasonable to want to learn more about somebody before meeting them in person.

Let’s talk about when you do need to ask women for more pictures.

The Photo Trick to Watch Out For

The big red warning light goes off in my head when I see a very pretty face in multiple profile pictures but no body shots, or a body shot where she is hidden behind a bunch of other people.

Think about that for a second. You have a woman with a beautiful face who knows she is beautiful by the very fact she has five or six great shots of her face, and then she all of a sudden forgets to include body shots? Uh, no, that doesn’t happen unless there is something else going on.

A woman that has a good or even average body will show it off by including a few pictures of it in her profile. Many women with so-so (or even big) bodies will also include a body shot or two, and I applaud those women for owning that because it’s not necessarily bad, depending on what you’re in to.

But women who hide their bodies get no respect from me because they waste my time. Women expect men to be honest in their profiles, and it’s just as fair to expect women to be honest too.

If you come across a woman who has a lot of face shots, but who doesn’t have any body shots, you might want to ask her for more pictures if you decide to email her.

When to Ask for More Pictures

Asking a woman for more pictures in your first email is pretty silly. The odds of a woman sending you more pictures in that scenario are slim to none.

The best to time to ask a woman for more pictures is after she responds to your first email. You could then ask for additional pictures while you’re asking her other questions. That makes it seem less confrontational.

After asking women for more pictures, I have had women post additional pictures to their profile where they did indeed have a good body, and I’ve had women post pictures where I wasn’t attracted. Either way, I respect those women for being upfront.

There have been times when I have asked women for additional pictures and I never heard back from them. So what.

If a woman doesn’t respect my time enough by posting additional pictures to her profile or sending them to me by email, she is not a woman I’m willing to continue emailing or spending anymore time on.

Disclaimer

It is not my intention to offend anyone with this article nor do I believe every woman needs to be in contest shape to be attractive.

I have written this article only to save you time on dating sites. If this one simple tactic can prevent you from wasting your time by meeting up with a woman you’re not attracted to because she doesn’t look like her pictures, all the better.
