Try to look beyond the picture

Online dating is such a visual medium, so it can be difficult when you’re dating in a pool of men who don’t know how to create a visually appealing profile. The onus is a bit on women to see beyond what men put on their profiles, says Hoffman, even if it’s tough. “I have to remind them, those guys don’t have a dating coach. They don’t have people who are looking at their photos. They’re not conditioned to look at their profile in that way. The lion’s share of men’s profiles over 50 that I read are pretty much terrible. I have to get [my clients] to see the possibility, even if their pictures are not ideal.”
