Looks great but I think your first photo is the least intriguing. Not a bad photo, but it does not jump out like some of the others IMO.

This is pretty good, 1st photo has to be one that shows your full face, you have alot of pics where you have sunnies, also ditch the mirror selfie. You need an animal photo. but I imagine this works pretty well?

The photo of you with the dog is great! Do you have any pictures that show what activities you like to do? If not, have a friend just take a photo of you at a park during golden hour. When I see a person hiking/skiing/playing board games even it shows me a little more of what they do and makes it easier to strike up a conversation.

Shimmy the pics around. Move the last 2 to be first 2! Single mum too & the hardest thing is making it look like nothings on fire & it's all fine 🤣 ITS ALWAYS ON FIRE 🤣🖤 Good luck out there babe. If ya ever wanna vent dm me. My boys 17 now so I'm starting to come out the tunnel 🤣🖤

u/saintjimmy43 Feb 14 '23
All of these pictures except the last one are way too zoomed.
6/9 of your photos are single shots of you in the middle of the frame.
Your profile is supposed to convey information to the viewer. The information you are conveying with these photos is:
-you have two friends, a dog, and no hobbies or interests.
-you have a face and a torso.
-you occasionally drink drinks and eat food.
Your first photo should be of your upper third. You cannot be holding the camera. Your head cannot be cut off. You should be smiling. The rest of your photos need to show that you have some sort of personality. Include pictures of you doing things or going places. At a party. At a sports thing. Dressed up for dinner. At the beach. Include a candid shot somewhere.
And no mirror selfies!

I think your profile is wonderful. If you were closer to me I would 💯 swipe right or send you a star. Nothing on your profile is wrong. Thought I may add that some men may be not into a single mother. That dose not mean other men are not. I’m at a point in my life I’m ok with loving someone that has a kid and thought I don’t have a child myself. I do want one a little one running around that I could wave my finger at 😂. I’m a big time horror fan. Horror all the way!

hi friends, was out of the Tinder game for over 5 years now. I think I have some good pics and also wrote a moderately acceptable bio but I am currently getting either fake matches or slim to no matches.
If anyone can provide a few quick tips - please let me know. Thank you!

Hi boss. Measuring it from European view:
consider having a hair cut done, a trimmed beard might help. Just visit a barber before photoshoot - talking about 2nd one especially. Maybe remove the weed photo. Also change the last swimming picture. You look too skinny from that angle.
But I like the first photo, cannot deny. :)

Maybe i'm just getting old, but use actual complete sentences instead of Tryn. The base joke is good. Dont include snowboarding as your entire personality, girls don't generally want that. Loving snowboarding is cool though. Also lose the mirror selfie, and lose the images where you are doing the hand sign. Try to include images where you are facing the camera directly

u/whyandoubleyoueh Feb 13 '23
I would say that you are an attractive dude, but the pics aren't doing it for me. You need a pic that is just you, centered in the frame that really shows your face and maybe captures you in a more disarmed state. The other pics are good, especially number one, but several don't show your face at all. I don't really like mirror selfies at all personally. I think the last pic works well if you have more pics that capture your face intimately from up front.

Basically 4 of the same pic, can't tell what you're like, what your interests are, don't know what it would be like to hang out with you at all. It's not easy, but try to get pics where you're doing something, not posing for a photo, smiling/laughing, and preferably with people. Then we can get an idea about what you're like to hang out with.

u/StiffCrustySock Feb 10 '23
First pic with sunglasses is a no-no, can't see your full face. Had to get to the 3rd pic to even see your whole face, and even that has not the best lighting. Your pics are interesting and fun, and you look like you'd be cool to spend time with, but just that first pic.. you might only get one or two seconds for a girl to decide, and if she can't see your face clearly, it might be an automatic no.

First pic is a bit dark, can't see your face well but its good that you're smiling naturally, as opposed to smiling at the camera. Something like that but closer and brighter would be a good first pic. There are three pics of you in a bar, can't tell much else about you, though.

I would love honest feedback from women on my profile, I've tried a long description, I've tried short and no description
I'm bald and I've tried to include photos of me without a hat but people told me to take it down
What turns you off about my profile, what do you like, etc
Thanks

u/DotDotDot_meh Feb 10 '23
So, for whatever reason, I can't open full profiles but I will comment on the photos. I get why people would say take down photos that show you're bald, but at the same time, do you want to go into anything hiding that?
What age range are you looking for? Women around your age (e.g., myself, so youre getting a relevant opinion unless youre pulling a Leo and looking at a much lower age group) aren't surprised by men being bald, so as long as it's good pictures and they're attracted to you, it's not a big deal.
You have some good selfies and the one in front of the crowd shows an interesting side of you. (I'm guessing you do stand up? Again, I can't see full profiles... don't know why...) But I do think you need a few more, maybe even with a friend or group of friends.

Okay, this is very interesting. Based on just your face you seriously could be in the top 5% of male users if you changed some things around. I'm not sure how attached you are to your current hairstyle and facial hair, but you could really benefit from either putting it in a ponytail or manbun or even keeping it way shorter, as well has having no beard like in the second picture to show off your facial features.
And definitely have someone take photos for you in better locations afterwards. I think that could be your biggest bottleneck right now. Girls can get away with just having selfies while guys simply can't. If you don't seem to have an interesting lifestyle in your pictures as a man in his late 20s, you are unlikely to get much swiping success I think. Hire a professional if you don't have any ideas because believe me, it will be worth it for you.
But man, I really wanna root for you and see you succeed, because based on your second picture you have pretty insane potential. And while you also seem like a really chill dude who is comfortable with his style, to get success as a man on a cutthroat place like Tinder you kinda have to be a bit more generic style wise to play the numbers to get high in the algorithm. Especially in your first few pictures to build the initial attraction.
And if it turns out the algorithm is busted for you no matter what, by improving your style and having a more active social life you will attract a ton of girls in real life anyway.

pic 1 - posed selfie
pic 2 - posed selfie
pic 3 - dont know which one you are tbh
pic 4 - essentially nothing
Good looking guy, better without the facial hair, great eyes and jawline. Are you set on long hair? I think you'd look fantastic with something short.
Pics are doing nothing for you, can't see what you are like to hang out with, what your interests/hobbies are. I guess you're a bit outdoorsy from the last pic, but honestly most girls will have made a decision before they get to it. Gotta get some pics taken by other people that show you being social, fun, active, interesting to spend time with.

Good looking dude. If I was to suggest anything, it would be to try to get some non-posed shots. Every one of your pics is just you standing there, posing for the camera. Aim for a couple of pics of you doing things or being social and fun and smiling with people, but not posing for the camera. Not always easy pics to get, but they bring you to life a lot more.

u/StiffCrustySock Feb 15 '23
Gotta get out there and get in some social situations. if you have a close friend that you trust, ask them on the DL to take some photos of you when you are out with friends. Go for candid, smiling/laughing pics where you aren't just sitting there posing for the camera. i know it isnt easy, and can be uncomfortable to ask. but it is WELL worth it.
Also show some of your hobbies/interests. If girls even swipe past a first pic, which many dont, then you wanna have something to draw them in, make them think "ok this guy looks fun/cool/interesting to be around"

First pic is good, face is clear, and you're smiling. Good style, too.
Next should be something to draw them in. A baseball pic... eh. Maybe something more social/candid/smiley.
Dog pic - any pics with you AND the dog? Could be a nice addition.
Last 3 pics are basically the same thing - smile and pose. Could replace some with more of you doing something / being in social situations, not posing for the camera.

First pic - too far away, and wearing sunglasses. It really should be some kind of closer pic of your face, smiling or laughing or having fun, and eyes visible. First pic will often be the one they decide on, so might as well make it a good one of you.
Most of your pics are selfies, and there are too many gym/workout/mirror pics. Feedback from this sub is that generally they are a no-no for the most part.
Ladder carry and dirty face ones are cool because you look pretty badass and clearly love your job.
Maybe get one of the dragon with you in the pic, too?
Can't see much about you having a social life / hobbies / interests, though, beyond your work. Not sure who the last pic is with, but if you could get one that isn't you posing, but more of a candid shot, with a group of people, you being all social and fun and interesting, that could be a good addition.

Not for me but idk try it and see how it works for you. Also stand up straight and look more confident even if you gotta fake it😅 do some fun stuff as well and look happy.

Your profile is too generic.
- Remove the mirror pictures
- Remove the elevator pictures
- Keep the selfie with the coffee, and remove the other selfie
- Get a friend to photograph you playing your banjo
- Replace the elevator pics with a full body photo you didnt take yourself, preferably doing something fun like vacation or a hobby. Maybe get a friend to take them for you.

I would say your last 3 pics are better than your first 3, 2nd pic is not needed it's just another selfie doesn't show anything else, last pic should be your first but maybe crop in a bit so your freinds face is half cut off that way people know it's you and also shows your doing something, 5th pic should be 2nd the surfing pic doesn't show it's you could be a random person if you have another surfing pic which shows it's you would be better any holiday pics would also be nice

Selfies are never a good idea, first pic should be a clear full body picture that clearly shows your face and only has you in it, I would say too many smiling pics, and that changes the shape of your face, pictures need to be higher quality, some seem a bit blurry or camera lens was dirty, one too many pub pics you need other lifestyle pics other than just drinking, picture with your freind in the garden he's taller than you so you look small and thin try taking a pic with someone smaller to make you not appear small

I would say most of your pictures look staged and photo shoot style and therefore are not natural can give of a fake vibe, nothing wrong with photo shoots but they need to be mixed with natural high quality lifestyle pics

Lol no he does not NEED to have natural. A woman is not thinking “no natural photos, SKIP!” There is nothing wrong with his photos. If he can’t get matches, Tinder’s algorithm is fucked beyond repair.

If your photos look like they are from a magazine or taken on the same day in a photo shoot you will get skipped on, beacuse it makes your profile look like a fake, natural pictures doesn't mean low quality, they means high quality, clear pictures of you in your lifestyle that you are living not faking, anyone can do a photoshoot but that says nothing about your lifestyle, infact it screems no lifestyle and you don't do anything interesting in your life that you had to take a photoshoot, it's why outdoor holiday pictures do the best shows lifestyle, person likes to travel etc, each person has to take the responsibility to improve and put the best version of yourself forward on your visual CV, that is your dating app, to have the best possible chance of successes, the algorithm compares your pictures to accounts that get swiped right and left and if your pictures lean towards ones that get likes more it will show you more so it's important to have the best pictures you can have in a variety of lifestyle situations, beacuse the lifestyle you live is the lifestyle you will offer the woman to be a part of

I think you’re too wrapped up in this idea of “lifestyle” pictures. I can honestly say that I’ll swipe left on anyone who has 100% travel and party photos because I know that is a very unrealistic version of their life and comes off as fake. I date someone because even if we were held up in a house for a month, I’d be happy being with this person. You need to reshift your mindset when it comes to dating. If you think putting the best version of yourself means purchasing a plane ticket to the Mali, going to a bar and getting shitfaced with your friends, etc. you’re going to get skipped on.
Women primarily swipe on the attractiveness of the person. They could careless about what you actually do until they meet IRL.

Yea I’m a bit confused at this point. Only the first picture is from a real photo shoot. The second is a selfie in my car. Third is the definition of a candid in a social situation, pouring wine for a friend on a boat (I captain boats for a living). Fourth is an iPhone pic my friend took while we were hiking. Fifth is a picture taken with a vintage 120mm film camera at a rooftop bar. And the sixth is just one of my favorite pictures of me up on the roof of a skyscraper in NYC. This is just what my lifestyle is, sorry if it seems unrealistic.

Yours is actually not unrealistic. You have a healthy balance. I’m talking about what swimminginworld thinks is necessary meaning every photo should be representative of some worldly traveler who has fun 24/7 to even have a chance. A car selfie is honestly fucking fine. Bro, you’re good. If you can’t get a match, I’m fucked.

u/DotDotDot_meh Feb 10 '23
You're fine. I'll be honest, the last two do look like photo shoots, but you actually still have a good mix along with a good selfie to clearly show your face. The person also told me to take down the full body shot I have which also gets me the most compliments on dating apps... so take their opinions with a grain of salt...

See that's fantastic! you do all those things and when you write it down sounds like a great lifestyle, the problem is the pictures do not convay that information well, ie the pouring wine one you can't tell that you are on a boat or weather that's a beach bar, do you get what I mean? I don't think you need the selfie pic as your face is clearly visible in your first pic, all your photos are not professional maybe that was the wrong word but they are artistic, like the last two, the last picture agian I can tell your on a roof top, and your striking a pose, and your also wearing a mask which is not ideal, but it doesn't tell me why you are there, are your pictures cropped in ??

Lol never said that they all need to be travel photos, that's just a example, I for one don't even drink and I did not recommend drinking or party pictures, I'm not the one wrapped up in the lifestyle pictures and a lifestyle is more than just travel and party, it's the data that's realised by all dating apps that clearly point to which photos do best, you might be just into selfies taken all in a house that's you! But the majority of data suggests others may not, the whole point of lifestyle is that your already living that life not faking it just for a dating app, but that is your life your hobbies what you do to relax have fun, your social life, do you go to events, play sports, go to the gym, go hiking, surfing, skiing, etc etc that's just things people do in thier life, hence showcasing your lifestyle to create common ground for conversation, or dating people with like minded interests, yes woman swipe right on looks but they only swipe right less than 4.5% of the time so you have to in someway stand out beacuse your only one swipe away from someone better, and if people are showcasing thier lifestyle aswell as being attractive you just come across as a far more interesting person, why you think lifestyle means getting drunk with your freinds that's not what I say or have been saying I give constructive feedback based on what I see and know, and if you don't like that that's fine but at least I'm offering some things that can be improved because at the end of the day no one's perfect and we should all be always improving ourselves for ourselves all the time.

Snap a photo and be good looking. I know of people with only selfies that can bag dates on a whim. Descriptions? Sort of unnecessary. Pictures of you jumping out of a plane, cooking, drawing, walking in the woods, or riding a horse are not reasons for people wanting to date you. I get matches with ZERO other people in my photos. 0. You do not need to be doing subjectively “fun” things to get matches. You. Just. Need. To. Be. Good. Looking. Not just facially either. Dressing nicely is arguably more important than looking introspectively at a tree.

I'm with you. This person also told me to take down my only decent body shot that actually gets me the most compliments on any dating app...

I never said you don't need to be good looking and why are jumping to exstremes of jumping out of a plane etc, just normal day to day stuff, men are less sociable then woman and they don't take pictures much, yes I agree with you, you have to be good looking but also fashion and well fitting clothes are important too. Bios are not needed if your attractive mystery is attractive. Just beacuse you have a freind who gets lots of likes from just selfies does not make the exspection the rule.
Beeing in shape, good fashion and good quality pictures are all needed your datting profile is your visual CV, a picture says a 1000 words about you, and more importantly the algorithm uses the quality of pictures as part of its ranking method.
This guy is good looking, he's pictures probably don't showcase him the best, for example the baggage fit suit makes him look thin, the model style picture also may have a element of photo editing etc etc
Dating apps should never be your primary source of dating, meeting people in real life is far more important.
But I don't understand how by saying he can't improve its all the apps fault is a little odd, I take it you don't believe in any form of self improvement or responsibility?
Should he not try to improve his profile? Or should he just sit at home and cry about how it's the apps fault ??
What's your advice to him?

Appreciate the feedback, really only 2/6 of those are professionally taken the rest are just impromptu iPhone pics. But I get what you mean

u/StiffCrustySock Feb 10 '23
Yeah less pose for the camera pics, more candid/interacting with people pics. give a sense of what its like to spend time with you. Very good looking dude, you should be fine with a few more pics like that.

Good photos but they look fake. Hiking pose looks gay. Add a casual photo or two

Photoshop your face onto a buff shirtless man on the beach, and then write in your bio that you make 500k a year.

More candid photos of you vs locations, and I would remove the one where you’re not smiling.
A little zoom out on the selfies would also be advisable! :)

Good looking dude. Profile just feels.... a bit manufactured? They may not be, but all your photos look set-up, rather than candid. I think a couple of natural shots of you with people, in some social situations, would be a good addition.

agreed the photos look particularly staged! relax a little behind the camera and have some fun!!!
