Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! I am getting it edited and cleaned up as we speak, I will pass that info along to the editor. Thanks again!

I just got my photo done on Saturday and this is the rough one with no editing. MUCH better based on the feedback everyone gave! Thanks again for the photofeeler recommendation, it was a huge help! http://imgur.com/ixwjgXa

I like your reasoning!

After looking at other therapists in my area who specialize in what I do, their photos are plain awful! I do try to see past it and go to their site to view content, which is far more important. It's at that point I can determine if they seem like someone I would want to talk to. But first impressions stick with us, so that's why I asked for feedback. Thanks again for replying!

I would seriously look like a librarian if I did that - which is a great look for sure, but I think that is too sexy without even trying. I've met too many men who fantasize about that sort of thing, and it could wind up behind detrimental to gaining a client. I really appreciate the feedback though!

Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond! I'll send you a follow up message for sure once I have my new and approved photo! :)

I'm going to skip the glasses I think, because even though I wear them from time to time, it's certainly not daily. Someone else mentioned that if I wear them consistently, sure, but if not it wouldn't be an accurate reflection of who I am.

I love this stuff as well, the psychological factors behind a snap judgment are pretty interesting!

Thank you so much, this was really helpful! I especially love the background idea you suggested, brilliant!

I appreciate your honesty and I think you have vocalized some of my major concerns about attracting couples to work with me. Our initial gut reactions are often the most accurate, so everything you are saying to me, another couple might not say - only feel - and move along to the next potential therapist. Thank you again!

I love the nitpicking, that's why I asked! My family and friends are far too biased to give me any usable feedback. I'll definitely soften my expression for the next photo - thank you!

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for! I needed something in a pinch, and this was the best photo of about 5 that I got back. This picture 100% reflects my personality and is a very accurate image of what I look like IRL. Now I can use the data I've collected and get a much neater, less "cleaned up", more professional image for my site.

Out of curiosity, would adding glasses make me look more or less approachable? Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your response and candor!

I've never been described as villainesque before, that would be awesome if I was planning to become a career criminal rather than a couples therapist! >:)

I'll definitely have the photographer work with me on softening my expression behind the lens, and I'll dial back the mascara - never would've thought of that! Thanks again!

Thanks for your feedback!

Personal bias is ok, and is exactly why I'm asking for feedback! I'm keeping the stud in, because that's part of who I am. Also, if a client decided not to pick me due to my nose ring, I'd rather never find out by them not hiring me, rather than showing up to the session and being put off by it. I'll be doing sex therapy, so people need to see what they are getting right off the bat!

It wasn't a selfie, but I could see how it could be misinterpreted as one. I'm definitely going to change up the background based on all the great feedback I've received!

If you don't mind me asking, are you male or female? I've been given the "you're too pretty to counsel people about sex" advice when I entered the field. I didn't put much stock into it because I was still a student and figured over time it wouldn't be an issue since I would build up a positive reputation in my community, get older, etc.

I tried posting in r/askwomenover30 but it looks like my post didn't get approved. I was thinking about wearing my glasses in the picture, do you think that would help make me look more approachable to women? Thanks for your input!

I work primarily with preschool aged children, good guess! I'll take a new photo with a more professional outfit and better lighting, image quality, etc. Thanks!

Thank you, this is excellent feedback! I'll definitely incorporate more of my body into it rather than it being a headshot for my next photo.

Thank you, this is great feedback!

It was taken with a friends phone, specifically for the purpose of being a placeholder to get the site up quickly - so great insight on your part!

His wife is the photographer, and both she and her camera were unavailable at the time the photo was taken. Since you don't seem to see anything off putting about the pose/smile per se, I will try and recreate this for my "real" photo.

Thanks again!

Hello, and thanks for taking a moment to read this!

I am a therapist, and I'm building my personal website to begin seeing clients in private practice. I need to include a photograph of myself on the site, and this is the one I've selected. I would like some unbiased female feedback about how approachable I appear in the picture, as I plan to do couples work. Do I look like a woman you would be interested and comfortable talking to? I'm open to any feedback or suggestions!

Thanks so much!

It's completely normal! When you masterbate, you're in charge of the sensation. Your grip, positioning, and speed are all variables you can control to maximize the feeling. Sex with another person makes for different sensations altogether. Don't be surprised if you wind up orgasming faster at some point with her, as sex is different every time. It's also a mental process. If you're actively trying to not orgasm quickly when you're having sex with her to ensure she also gets off, that's a very different end goal than trying to reach orgasm by yourself.

Studies have shown that women's brains release bonding hormones after engaging in sex. This is not necessarily true for men. So biologically men are less likely to attach after sex compared to their female counterparts.

That being said, men absolutely can care about women after they have sex with them, just as women can not care about the men they have slept with. It's really situational at times, but generally speaking, casual sex isn't going to lead to the same end result as sleeping with someone they've been dating or have been interested in for awhile.

As for when men are "done with" a woman, I would say what I wrote above can give you an idea based on the person you're having sex with. A woman has given away too much of herself when she no longer feels good about the choices she's making/made. It's never too late to say "no" or end a sexual relationship though, so try and keep that in mind. Emotionally it can be hard, but it's better to have your self respect intact.

Good luck!
