Tinder trick: Why women and men take selfies from angles

First impressions count – and nowhere more than in online dating. But how lifelike are the selfies posted on websites like Tinder? New research shows both sexes are prone to manipulating their images to create the right impression for potential lovers. Men are much more likely to take their selfies from around waist height to make them appear taller, more powerful and more likely to be able to protect their partner. And women are much more likely to take them from above head height to accentuate facial features and disguise any concerns over body weight.
