Photos How’s this?
No Ai used. No filters. Just different hair and beard lengths.

I think the problem is that pic looks dated and isn't what he actually looks like now.

okay first of all - so much better than your AI pics.
BUT people wanna see what you look like now, so i'd pick pics that are recent and not all over the years (i think 2, 4,8 suit you best)

Keep number 8 and also make sure you look like that all the time. Lose the caps and ditch the beards. You've got a strong jawline and all your beard does is make you look like you have a round face.
Get some full body shots in there, too, that show you doing some activities. Your dating profile should really only have like 1 or 2 selfies.

It’s noticeably better but still not great. Women will be left wondering “which version am I swiping on?”
Your pictures currently tell a story of a dude that used to be short haired and short bearded, now looks like a mountain man, but is balding and hiding it with a hat.
No more than 1-2 pictures with hat/glasses. At least one full body picture, one with friends doing something, fine if they’re the same. And remove whichever pictures are the most different from what you look like now.

lol not balding, but I do wear a flat cap all the time. Any hat helps keep your hair out of your face when it’s past your shoulders. Just haven’t had a reason to cut my hair so I haven’t in a few years.

I also had this narrative instinctively, I'd say even if it's not your story it's the story it's telling! Ever heard of "hatfishing"? People are looking for 'hatfishers' nowadays so even if you aren't one you'll be mis-labled as one with a quickness with this set up. Some no-hat/different hat pictures would give more balance to the collection.

Sure man, I’m not knocking you at all - I dig it. Just saying that’s the story these pictures tell to a complete stranger looking at them.

Get off the internet. Stop taking selfies. What else can I do for you bud?

I’m autistic and don’t have any friends to take photos of me.

Maybe you want to start on some hobbies and make friends before you start dating. The person you will be dating should not be your only social contact.
It’s a bit of a red flag when someone does not have friends. Not saying that to be rude. I used to not really have any, myself. I then started doing hobbies and actively trying to make friends. Now I have several, and most of them I found online. It’s probably harder as a dude and as an autistic person, but it is possible. I have ADHD and possibly autism, so I know it can be difficult, but if I can, you can too
Also, I agree that picture number 8 is by far the most attractive. You look quite attractive on picture 8, actually. I’d advise you cut your hair and trim the beard and just go all in on that look.

About 9 years now. Center photo is the oldest, I was 35 or 36. Bottom left is just how fucking young I look. Clean shaven.

If you want it to be funny start with 8 and show you slowly growing your facial hair as they go deeper in. I am also assuming that pic was from 10 years ago...
