Which photo works better?
What the research suggests
These findings do not make a universal rule for attraction. They do show why choosing a profile photo is harder than it looks—and why a second opinion can be useful.
Profile-image selection
A pair of online studies (N = 610) found that unfamiliar people chose profile photos that created more favourable impressions than the photos participants chose for themselves.
You know the story behind your photos. A fresh pair of eyes only sees the first impression—often the thing a dating profile needs to optimise.

The photo changes the read
Research on face perception found that different images of the same person can change social judgments as much as, or more than, the differences between people—and these effects can appear very quickly.
This is why the question is not “am I photogenic?” It is “what does this particular photo communicate?”

Swoon uses research as context, not as a formula for attractiveness or relationship outcomes. Your preferences and the platform you use still matter.
Designed for nuance
Every observation is grounded in what is visible in your photograph. No invented backstories. No promises. Just better choices and a clear next move.
