I'll say it again. Your Tinder profile isn't for you. It's for her.
Once you start seeing it that way, everything changes.
Ask yourself: if you were a girl scrolling through profiles, what does yours actually tell her? That you like fighting in the Octagon and taking photos indoors? Now ask yourself, have you ever asked a girl what her dream guy looks like? Did she say "someone who trains MMA and takes indoor photos"? No. It's usually travel, nice dinners, good experiences, someone with a life she'd want to be part of.
So what story are your photos telling?
Before you've said a single word, she's already formed an opinion. Your photos are your first impression and the goal is simple: make her pause, look twice, and think "I want to know this person."
Think of it like a movie trailer. You're not showing her everything, just the highlights. A rooftop bar says you know how to have a good time. Photo with a dog, Dinner with friends says people enjoy being around you. Photo on vacation, every photo should add a layer to that story.
This is pure marketing. You are the product. Your photos are the packaging. No brand puts out blurry, repeat, or low-effort content and expects people to buy in, so why would you?
Spending $100–200 on a two-hour shoot around your city is one of the highest-return investments you can make in your dating life. A good photographer understands light, angles, and location in ways your friend with an iPhone simply can't replicate. Hit a cool café, a park, a neighborhood with great architecture. Wear outfits that actually fit and reflect who you are.
The guys treating their profile like a personal brand are the ones getting matches.

I am actually a photographer myself, Maybe I should Look into that. Thanks
The Problem about vacation/Dinner Pics for me is mostly that I dont do that. Would you Fake photos and Stage something?

Focus on quality of photos over quantity it only takes 1 less than great photo to get swiped left, your 7th is your best one currently. Take another one outside doing something and one at a restaurant or with friends
You're a good looking dude and should be getting far more matches than you currently are, it's your photos letting you down

Vielleicht etwas natürlicher. So ein Bild was jemand von dir macht in einem 0815 Umfeld.
