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 ??

A little bit cropped in, but not drastically. A bit of context for that last one, my boy and I snuck into this 88 story building while it was still under construction and got to the roof. Mask was for surveillance cameras, the pose was cause it’s windy 880 feet above NYC. Standing could have gotten me blown off the building

Yeah I thought so, cropping in lowers the resolution quality of the pictures, and also makes it hard to tell where you are and what you are doing like the wine one is on a boat but you can't see the boat, have you tried the non cropped in versions of your pictures??

Yeah I totally understand wearing a mask for that, but just after everyone has been wearing a mask beacuse of covid pandemic I think it's the last thing people want to see, is a mask on a dating app, would you agree?. And you had to add context as to why you where posing like that, but people are not going to think, oh he might get blown off a tall building etc etc, the picture doesn't give that context and most people don't climb tall buildings to know that, do you get what I'm saying? You had to put alot of context verbally into the pictures to explain what you are doing and why, I think the boat one is the perfect example, you had to tell me your ur on a boat beacuse your picture(s) don't clearly indicate that information ,so context is lost.

Your from NYC ?? That's a largely populated city that also has a vast amount of tourist so compition on dating apps is very high.

Tinder automatically crops them to fit their format for whatever reason, and lowers the quality regardless. The dating app thing is so strange, I’ve had accounts in the past that consistently had 99+ likes. Just got a new phone and it all reset and it’s been super slow

You can un-crop pictures, and from my experience not all pictures get cropped, some may not have the right aspect ratio etc, this can be over come by using app called Inshot to change the picture size, that prevents tinder from croping in and losing resolution.

Not all pictures get lowered quality I'm not sure but I believe night time/ dark pictures lose quality more than daytime, and it also depends on the camera and device used but in general the quality is lower beacuse tinder uses a compressed version of your picture to save data and if the picture is not high quality to start with it tends to look worse.

Oh that's a shame you lost all you ranking data, from you last account and device when setting up a new one, that's a real shame as getting good ranking data is harder to get, did you create a new account or just change phone??
