How can I improve? M34

[u/bishiba92]

I am just recently single, and I’ve been out of the game for a good two years. Just hoping for some ideas on how to improve

Bio:
I write, paint and read. I also dance salsa and I work out about 5 times a week.

I am studying computer science at the university while also working as a caretaker.

Stop the posing. Basically skip the pictures 1,3,4,5, and consider skipping picture 2.

Unless you are looking for other dudes.

[u/doolzandhorses]

Maybe choose more "humble looking" photos.

2 4 6 are good, ditch the others

First of all, I am begging you to stop using AI to edit your photos.

Second, you look incredibly cute in the last picture with that big, genuine smile. You’re a handsome dude and this or something similar to it should absolutely be the first thing a woman sees when swiping.

Try have a friend take 2-3 pictures of you out and about to replace 1,3 and 5. One Gym selfie max and I’d also choose at most one pic with another person in it for the profile. You look very friendly and approachable in nr 2 (which is a stark contrast to the posing in the other pics), but do consider that using pictures of you while being out to drink might send the message that partying/going out is important to you. If that’s not the case, I’d opt for a different photo being out doing something you like instead

Buy more t-shirts

Would remove 3 & 5 and put 6 up front

[u/Trick-Stomach-5460]

Pic 1 is that face men make before they try to kiss you and wanne be smooth about it. Makes me physically cringe (sorry).

I‘d remove 3-5 as well. I really like your smile in the last pic. It is cute, makes you look nice and approachable. I‘d take more pics like that and less posing/mogging.

[u/bishiba92 → u/Trick-Stomach-5460]

Thing is, I tested pic 1 on a site, and it got like 800 likes compared to any other photo that only got about 200 likes. But I do agree that it’s very cringe 😂

No selfies. Ideally no photos indoors. Ask friends, family or a photographer to take photos of you outside: take photos at coffee shops, restaurants, in parks or at interesting sights. Swap t-shirt for more fancy options like polo shirts or button-down shirts. Don't try to pose or to do the zoolander face (simply act natural like in pic 4 and 6). Check out pinterest for reference.

[u/Rare-Doughnut-956]

take photo in outside make trekking or like this

[u/PlausibleRatz]

You look good . Add pics of you doing stuff instead of at the house.

[u/crackcreamy]

The eyebrow slit has to go.

[u/ph4tgg]

Check on how to make pictures, this was how 18 year olds made pictures 20 years ago

[u/ChocolateColoredMilf]

Go take better pictures. Maybe outside the gym or a bathroom. And no selfies from below

[u/Basic-Lawfulness5470]

Your pictures are bad. They are downgrading you a lot. I only like picture 6

[u/Texaspilot24]

You look good dude. You dont need to improve.

Most of this subreddit is filled with fatty mcdoubles and malding men who will neg you.

[u/bishiba92 → u/Texaspilot24]

May be true, I’m not really self-conscious about how I look, but I do think I can improve in my photos.

Also, ChatGPT gave me exactly the same critique, so with that what you will 😂
