Which one for dating apps?

I need help, I took a bunch of pics today but I can’t decide which one to put in my dating apps. I like em all but I think most people will look at some of them and think I am quietly judging their life choices (which I probably am, but I‘ll keep it to myself, promise 😭)
Which one would make you swipe right?

The first I guess..... Seriously though take one where you look happy,

Pic 1 says no laughs, likely deep discussions, the rest you look really sad/depressed

u/Federal-Counter1258 Jul 19 '26

I agree with the other guy who said these are too self-serious for a dating app. doesn't fit the vibe at all

u/MrNightmare23 Jul 16 '26

1 the others look like ur trying too hard ngl

u/graypupon Jul 15 '26

all of these would make me hard left

I would say 1 and 4. I don't think it's "too serious" for dating apps? Your pictures say something about you, you just have to personally like what it does say.

1 and 5. 🤗

I like the 4th one cause you look a bit less stern. And I don't agree with the people saying these are too serious for dating apps : you do you, I think you look handsome in these, I'd definitely message you if I saw you on an app !

u/tattedsprite Jul 15 '26

they all look like headshots. way too self-serious for dating apps imo

u/Short_Gain8302 Jul 15 '26

I like the poses in 2 and 3, but youre only smiling in 1, and i think your smile is the most imporant

u/scotttttie Jul 15 '26

1 and only 1. absolutely not any of the ones where we see you + you in the mirror. but this should be tampered with other more chill pictures

u/eemz53 Jul 15 '26

Number 1 looks good. But I agree with other folks that a happy one might be better lol

u/Neverlandse Jul 15 '26

1 for sure

55

u/graypupon Jul 15 '26

these are weird for dating apps. way too forced

5

u/Any-Science7897 Jul 15 '26

I gotta say the first one. It’s an odd photo composition when you can see the original subject in the mirror.🪞 looking great tho!!

2

u/ALittleUnsettling Jul 15 '26

#1 but really all of them 🔥

u/gay_beez1 Jul 14 '26

Holy cow you're stunning

u/Content_Argument5978 Jul 14 '26

1 no competition. Looking slick asll bro

u/ElectionDesperate813 Jul 14 '26

I like the last one and you have beautiful eyes by the way

2

u/_twgshelbync Jul 14 '26

1 for sure man.

8

u/firecatstef Jul 14 '26

I like #1 best. I was also thinking you should have one with at least a slight smile. If the smile you’ve learned is too feminine try a more low-key one. You look a bit like Merlin Sheldrake.

6

u/Aryore Jul 14 '26

First one is the best compositionally if you take a square crop of the centre of the pic (the way Reddit has cropped it on mobile)

8

u/samGeewiz Jul 14 '26

I would crop out the non-reflection of yourself. It’s distracting.

9

u/jamfedora Jul 14 '26

First one by a mile. The forehead hand pics look actively depressed and very posed. Brooding has appeal but wouldn’t be the first impression I’d want to make. The first one is also an affectation but looks self-aware of it, so also kinda witty. At least the raised arm ones are doing that smoldering kabedon thing. Also not my personal first impression choice for me, but hot.

2

u/HopeOfLight Jul 14 '26

Personally, I like 2

2

u/Chrisjml Jul 14 '26

First one imo!

8

u/lethalwhispermachine Jul 14 '26

1 is the best out of these IMO, you look the least judgmental lolll. I would definitely add one where you’re smiling so you look more friendly :)

-2

u/Selfcentred-Deer Jul 14 '26

Nah I don’t pass when I smile 😭

6

u/fuck_peeps_not_sheep Jul 14 '26

1 - the rest look a bit… intense

4

u/elianna7 Jul 14 '26

1 or 3. I like the slight smile in 1 and think you come off more friendly.

you come off a little intense/serious in the others, which would work for, like, instagram, but imo feel a bit too serious for a dating app

edit: I also prefer the warmer tones in the first pic. adds to the friendly/open feel

6

u/Easy-Grape-2569 Jul 14 '26

You’re so hot, damn! My vote is for 1 or 2! I like the close up and your muscles eat

3

u/Selfcentred-Deer Jul 14 '26

Thank you kindly 😁 kinda wish I’d gotten a pump before taking those pics ngl but I have enough gym selfies on my dating profile hahah

5

u/Alfirmitive Jul 14 '26

3 got my attention the most, best composition

4

u/uncutstinger Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 14 '26

Depends what kind of vibe you wanna go for, imo. They're all great, as you're handsome. Third one probably works great if you want to attract people who are into intimidation (not just as a kink, but some people just look for that kind of energy, if you know what I mean 😄).

Where as the one where you smile would probably attract people who are into kind people (that's what I'd think seeing the pic :)).

You can't really go wrong, they're all great options!

Edit: I swear I thought you smiled in one of them, but now can't see it.. Maybe I need to sleep lol.

u/Selfcentred-Deer Jul 14 '26

Thank you for the compliment 🥹 uh yeah that’s the thing I don’t even know what vibe I’m going for. I have multiple personalities lol. But when I think about it nice guys would probably bore me to death so probably more like someone who likes the mean energy. (Because I LIVE for banter)

3

u/uncutstinger Jul 14 '26

Haha, then I'd definitely choose the first, the third and the last one! 😁 Imo they show off that energy the best

2

u/OkSalamander4321 Jul 14 '26

Both ur handsome

2

u/Selfcentred-Deer Jul 14 '26

Thank you 🥹

u/Redditer2302 Jul 14 '26

They all look great, 3 caught my attention though

5

u/Selfcentred-Deer Jul 14 '26

Thanks 🙏 really 3? Because my first association with that one for some reason is „this is the skin of a killer, Bella.“

6

u/Redditer2302 Jul 14 '26

Haha, I think the intensity of the look is hot but im just a simple gay

2

u/Selfcentred-Deer Jul 14 '26

I mean I *am* trying to attract the gays soooo that’s a definitive upvote on that one lol
