What photo to use?

My friend Gregory over at Midlife Bachelor added to a previously posted list offering some good tips for posting pictures on dating websites.

The suggestions are really good in general though the one about smiling with teeth is more of a personal preference. While some people may really want to see your teeth and a big, toothy smile, don't use one if it doesn't make you feel good about yourself. The idea is to convey a small slice of the real you. If smiling with teeth makes you uncomfortable and self-conscious, that will show through in the picture and make your smile look more like a forced grimace.

A comment on the Midlife Bachelor forums basically summed up all the advice: be yourself. Don't use fake or highly manipulated photos, don't use bad photos that don't convey yourself in an honest or positive light. Dating is hard enough, the last thing you need is starting out with a false impression.
