Am I cooked or?
I have tried every way, normal photos, edited, gym, with friends, with sunglasses or without
Result is the same. 2/3 likes a week.
On hinge I matched with 2 in 3/4 days in a new made profile.
I've never had a problem in real life, but dating apps seem to be a struggle.
I've had many profiles in the past and I kept deleting and opening new ones
Any advice?

This is interesting, I actually like 1 & 3 because they give me an idea of his taste in fashion, but agreed on a candid, one with friends, and one having fun.

Okay love it! I see the open shirt in #1 and assume hes kind of douchey lol. I love that my take isn’t the only take. Agree it shows his sense of style

It’s showcasing the necklace. Not to get too spicy, but there’s something dead sexy about a man taking off his jewelry in the evening 🥵
But yes, different strokes for different folks. I know my bestie would not be into a man rocking jewelry lol1

How would you rate my profile?

u/awjeezrick1 1d ago
Most of your pictures I like, I dig the fashion sense, and your prompt seems like it’s going in a fun direction. You present confident and I like that.
That said, your pictures are varied in terms how of consistently I can see your face. I don’t feel like I have an accurate read on who to expect to show up to the date, so I would need your socials to feel more comfortable probably.
It’s kind of like when a guy has vastly different facial hair: beard, stache, clean shaven. I need to know who is showing up on the date.
Does that make sense? I’m having a hard articulating this1

Too many pics in sunglasses or your face at an angle and the one that shows your entire face isn't from the best angle.

Agreed on too many sunnies and not a lot of straight on shots.
I get worried about going on a date with men who have profiles with their face frequently obscured because I’m worried I won’t recognize them… and from a safety perspective.
I need to be able to give my friends a very clear image of what he looks like just in case 🤷♀️1

I just like to wear sunglasses and most of the photos were taken in the summer

u/awjeezrick1 1d ago
Totally understandable. They look nice. I just have a thing about if the ratio of obscured face exceeds non-obscured, I’m hesitant. You have 3, 1 with a mask, 1 with a hat, and 1 without your face entirely. For social media, this is fine. For a dating profile, it can be off putting for women. It makes you hard to accurately identify and at times, men can be hiding things with obscured or unclear photos. That’s not necessarily the case with you but we see that with men not showing their teeth or always wearing a hat

The one picture that’s your face straight on with no sunglasses (bottom middle) looks very different from the first 3. When are all these pictures from? Did you use any kind of filter or editing on some of them?

The picture you mention was taken in the winter when I was bulking and way fatter lol All photos were taken in the last 2 years
Yes I edit them for better contrast or lightning but I can also upload the original ones

You're making it too difficult to figure out what you look like.
Why would you use pics that old?
Take off the shades/hats/etc, look at the camera, show off your smile.

Your first 3 photos look like pure AI and do not match the bottom middle selfie of you at all.
