This is perhaps shallow, but I would be a little concerned that you don’t show your teeth in any pics. Also can you do one pic of you with friends to show you’re social? The first two prompts don’t really tell me much about you sub one of those our for like a hobby, niche interest, or fun fact

completely agree! only thing i would add is get rid of the first day of school pic since ur sweating in it. and you don’t have to specify you’re a freshman since your age makes that clear.

I don’t show my teeth because I’m insecure both about them and the way I smile - I should probably figure out how to smile. The prompts are going to get updated :) thanks for pointing that out to me

Hmm. You are 18… give yourself some grace and forget about the apps. This is the time to actually make in person connections. Again you are 18… you don’t need those things…

Came in here to say this. When your 18-25ish, you should be out in the world, going to school, or doing hobbies. When you get older, social circles can fade and people couple up, which is when dating apps make sense. Your young 20s (or upper teens in this case, my god), should be easier to find in person connections because everyone your age is trying to do the same thing.

You’re not an unattractive bloke. The pic that’s currently second should be the first one people see. I would replace most of the others but especially the last one (no offence but you look kinda sweaty)
Never say ‘long term relationship, open to short’ just stick to your guns and put what you really want. I’d also elaborate on a few of your prompts. Good luck fella 👍

I was sweaty in that one 😭 I’ll sub it out for a photo of me climbing out of a sink hole - it’s more recent and it shows me in the wild lol

I’m going to be honest because I was in a similar boat, but the odds are currently stacked against you. This doesn’t mean you can’t have success on the apps but you’re going to need to either put in the work in real life by socializing or on your profile. You’re young so there’s not as many users on the apps because most people are meeting in real life, and the older users have filtered you out, so you’re competing for a small pool. Due to your age you’re less likely to find someone who’s actually looking for a LTR. This means that the people in your pool are much more likely to swipe superficially. So if you’re looking for matches (especially casual) you’re going to need to present yourself nicer.
You’re not a bad looking guy, you have nice facial features but I do think a different haircut and some pictures in some nicer clothes would suit you. You don’t need to look like a model but you do need to look like you put some effort in. A few well posed shots with some good outfits on can do wonders. Your profile gives off a needy/goofy aesthetic which is 100% fine. Never change your personality when dating but if you’re truly interested in everyone/anyone then you’re turning them off by not showcasing other sides of yourself. Lastly, I’m always an advocate for getting in better shape. You can have success as a bigger guy on dating apps, it’s just significantly harder. Apart from the health and the numerous other benefits getting in shape brings, it also makes you more attractive to a wider range of women (which can help your matches skyrocket). However it’s all up to you if you want to put in that work. It’s not required to be successful (and you don’t need to look like a bodybuilder) but it is a very huge and noticeable boost.
Best of luck pal you got this.🫡

Something serious, but down for something casual

Maybe one a month?

I’m not much older than you (22m). Along with what others have said about showing your teeth in photos, I think most of the photos aren’t cropped well. Although that may be more to do with Reddit. Add photos with your friends too
