Making the Most of Your WAX Profile
A complete WAX profile helps you make stronger, more meaningful connections. Your photos play a big part in showing people who you are, what you enjoy and how you express yourself. The fuller your profile is, the more likely you are to find matches and build friendships with people who share your interests.
Below are some tips to help you make the most of your public gallery.
What Makes Good Profile Pictures on WAX
Photos are an important part of almost every profile. On WAX, you can upload up to six pictures in your public gallery, one of which becomes your main profile photo. You only need one photo to join chat groups, but members with more photos tend to make more connections.
Here’s how to make those six photos count:
Show your face Your first photo should ideally be a clear picture of your face. People feel more comfortable connecting when they can see who they are speaking to. Avoid hats, sunglasses or digital edits that obscure your face, as these may lead to your photo being removed.
Include a full‑body photo A full‑body picture helps others get a better sense of your style and personality. Whether you’re outdoors, relaxing at home or enjoying a hobby, choose a photo that feels natural to you.
Smile Smiling helps you appear approachable and friendly. It also makes your profile feel more welcoming.
Show your interests Include a photo that reflects something you enjoy, such as travel, cooking, fitness, art or any other hobby. Shared interests make great conversation starters.
Express your style WAX allows you to express yourself more freely than traditional dating apps. If you want to include a photo that reflects your personal style or identity, you can do so in a way that feels comfortable and appropriate for you.
What Not to Do
Before you finalise your gallery, check you’re avoiding these common pitfalls:
Avoid sunglasses in every photo Make sure at least one photo clearly shows your eyes. This helps build trust and connection.
Skip group photos On WAX, we do not allow photos with friends or family. If you have an individual account, keep your gallery focused on you. Partnered accounts can include both partners. Pets are fine to include, but be prepared for people to comment on how adorable they are.
Keep explicit content private WAX has a private gallery for sensitive images. Please keep these photos in your private gallery unless you choose to share them directly with someone you trust.
Final Thoughts
Building your WAX profile should feel enjoyable and expressive. Your photos help people understand who you are, what you enjoy and how you connect with others. A thoughtful gallery can make your profile more engaging and help you form meaningful connections across the community.
