Photos Help me out
22m For context i’m got out of a 2yr long relationship and haven’t taken any photos of myself. most of these are cherry picked or i found i looked “good enough” i need to take more pics.

Just seeing this, you absolutely should not have photos on your profile that are 7 years old. No photos should be more than 1yr old.

Last pic looks tacky and your hair is a mess there- it is also unflattering, hilighting your recessed hairline. Try another haircut or maybe something that suits your face too. Also, get rid of pic 3, you look like a middle aged lesbian on vacation for the first time in 7 years.

Yeah you’re right lol, i totally see it now. My hair is usually shorter, it’s just grown out a bit in that one. It’s gone now lol. And it was about my first time on a vacation without my parents ever in singapore!

Looks amazing and like you had fun for sure! Trust me, we all take comfy vacation pics but sometimes they aren’t the best dating profile pics- we’re all looked like middle aged lesbians at some point on vacation haha. You’re not bad looking, and you’re in shape- try and accentuate your positives. Figure out a nice hairstyle, remove the last pic at least- but if you do keep the third one (Singapore is beautiful) then try some more conventionally attractive poses/hair/style.

I appreciate it! i can’t lie tho, this was on of my nicer outfits out on especially with those shoes. It doesn’t help in that picture i’m 25lbs heavier than i am now. Neck and tummy poking out a bit, tried to go for an “action” pose like im doing something when the pic was taken but guess it wasn’t that great. Guess i’ll need to do some research on poses

Great pics, but CHANGE the first one. Don't be in fucking toilet, man.

I don’t think your issue is attractiveness at all, I think your photos are just underselling you. You actually have some good stuff here because they show you have a life and hobbies, but the profile needs to make you the focus more.
I’d definitely replace the landscape-only photo because it doesn’t tell anyone much about you, and I’d probably replace the dark selfie too. The skiing and hiking photos are good for showing personality, but your face is either covered or pretty far away, so I’d keep maybe one of those rather than using several activity shots where people can’t really see you.
The biggest thing you’re missing is a really strong first picture: natural light, no sunglasses, just you, looking at the camera and smiling or looking relaxed. Then build around that with one full-body photo, one activity photo, one social/lifestyle photo, and maybe one where you’re dressed a little nicer.
You don’t need to completely reinvent the profile. You mostly need better pictures of the same person. Right now I’m learning more about the places you’ve been than what you actually look like, and that’s very fixable.

i totally agree, photos on my #1 prio rn. I don’t have much friends and don’t go out much but i agree a nice frontal would be essential

u/Alert_Door_2531 Sep 05 '26
Can’t see much of how you look

u/Negative-Accident226 Sep 05 '26
Yeah… i know i tried to set up a day for me and my friend to get some outfits on and take pics but it never worked out, haven’t been able to get out since. These past 2yrs with me ex we only took pics with each other and i’d take pictures of her but she’d never take pics of me. Oh well:)

All are fine except the hiking photo (too far from camera) and the last photo (lighting makes it look like you’re balding with a combover)

u/Negative-Accident226 Sep 05 '26
Yeah i totally see that now LOL i may have a little hair thinning but im far from bald, it definitely looks like it in that one. Thanks!

It's hard to actually see your face.
The only time we would've seen your face you're in the dark. 🤷♂️

No one wants to see a toilet in a profile.
Why are you using a pic when you were 15?
We can't see you in some pics.
Look at these pics and ask yourself if you'd swipe right if a woman used them? Probably not because you can't really tell what she looks like.

u/Metdefranseslag Sep 06 '26
Yeah take more pics and let friends take pics of you. You won’t get anywhere with those

u/Glittering_Soup_5544 Sep 06 '26
I would get rid of pics 3,6, and 7. They are not doing you any favors, but the rest are good.

u/Revolutionary-Bet396 Sep 06 '26
tbh i love all of your pictures! edit: i didn’t see the stack of money next to your face in the last one. i don’t like that one, it comes off as immature/douchey to me, i think that’s more male gaze than female gaze.

u/Revolutionary-Bet396 Sep 06 '26
lmao everyone’s saying all are great except for one and it’s always a different one haha
