the first article talks about how NOT showing your face has a positive effect for profile pictures. in short, MXH is correct.
also, you can have people rate which one of your photos is the best pick for you, evaluated according to the demographics of the voters.

-Must show abs if you have them, more skin, no smiling , looking away...
No wonder why my photos were failing me, I am a smiley on pic and look at the camera, no abs and not much skin.
Being yourself is a myth there then.
I rmemebred that when making th other 2 photos. The face only one is looking head on and smiling, the body one is well lit, shows abs and hip lines, no smiling, and looking sslightly away.
I see, I was doing the opposite of what's desired to most according to okc :-/
Thats the interesting part, my photo which does everything wrong according to okc is doing better than the average picture of me,
This thread is worthless without pics, so here you go
original shot
face only
okc desired shot

^^ I've searched your screenshots by using the 'Search by Image' chrome add-on , and found the website you're talking about.
I've uploaded a photo there out of curiosity, and so far the results are so....so ...terrible, my boo avatar could have done a better job 
The photo: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hp ... 0686_n.jpg (yea, I know, this photo is very wrong according to the okc stats provided by hyper)
If I understood the website right, you would be voted first by members of your area? Then that's not surprising.
38 hours for becoming officially ugly 
MXH, I dunno If I've told you that before, but you're unnecessarily insecure about your looks - I've been told that they find you hot, not just good-looking or fine-looking, but hot (big difference).
Good I am not that emo or I would have been dead by now ;p

That being said my "normal" picture didnt make it in, the slider was by the e in are. The other two have been fairing better but now the one based off okc's standards is doing very good. Too good maybe.
ive seen your pics before, you also have no reason to doubt your looks, I will admit thats not the best pic ive seen of you. you look bored and tired in that pic *which i did on my first one*. Aparently thats no good in the looks department.
its not the only thing im unnecessarily insecure about. maybe it was the first 17 years of my life being the ugly kid in school that everyone picked on, it did it in for me. My lack of success with women hast helped that cause much. But yea i keep being told im good looking etc but i just dont feel it.

final results:
I wonder about the number of votes.
Anyways, now I know why this pics failed in getting responses on okcupid, they suck. Better to keep them hidden.
