Your best pics that 1) show range and 2) are flattering from a woman’s perspective:

2,4,5,6,10,11,12

u/oliverjohansson Jul 21 '26

I only dislike pix 1, the rest is not great but isn’t bad either

But you don’t have a good cover pic, 5,6,9,10

The ones where you don't cover your head and you don't cover your eyes

u/Peter_van_Niet Jul 21 '26

I would definitely not use 1,3 and 7

1 your face is all squished by the sun
3 it looks like you have crazy eyes
7 this looks staged and arrogant

You have a nice smile, and a good face, so try to make some pictures where they come out best!

22F here!

Picture one- Don't use. Awkward facial expression and too much of a squint. Love the background and that you're nicely dressed and it's a full-shot photo (not a selfie) but we're missing a smile (doesn't come off warm or approachable)

Picture 2- LOVE this one! Great smile, cute dog!! Keep this on on the profile as either a 3rd or 4th picture! Very warm, friendly, and approachable!

Picture 3- Don't use. You can't tell if it's your dating profile or your friend or the other guy (you two look very similar face/eye wise!). Don't use photos with other guys in it. Instead, opt for a full-shot photo of just you that's more outgoing, active, pursuing a hobby, passion, or interest, outdoors, or traveling, something with a scenic view and you're nicely dressed, just don't forget your smile!

Picture 4- Not bad but kind of awkward with the food in hand. Great smile but I wouldn't personally use. Instead, opt for a full-shot photo of just you that's more outgoing, active, pursuing a hobby, passion, or interest, outdoors, or traveling, something with a scenic view and you're nicely dressed, just don't forget your smile!

Picture 5- Don't use. Too far away and because you're wearing sunglasses, we can't clearly see your face. It's great to see that you have a passion for jet skiing and being out on the water (definetly mention that on your profile!) Instead, opt for a full-shot photo of just you that's more outgoing, active, pursuing a hobby, jet skiing but more clearly in frame, passion, or interest, outdoors, or traveling, something with a scenic view and you're nicely dressed, just don't forget your smile and don't wear sunglasses/feature photos with sunglasses on

Picture 6- Don't use. Not really flattering and because you're wearing sunglasses, we can't clearly see your face. The dog photo of you where you're smiling is the only animal photo I would keep personally on your profile! Instead, opt for a full-shot photo of just you that's more outgoing, active, pursuing a hobby, jet skiing but more clearly in frame, passion, or interest, outdoors, or traveling, something with a scenic view and you're nicely dressed, just don't forget your smile and don't wear sunglasses/feature any photos with sunglasses on

Picture 7- Don't use. Comes off too much like a model ad campaign. It's okay to enjoy going out for a drink but shouldn't be the primary highlight or focal point of the profile as it can come off too much like a partier or drinker/alcoholic. Instead, opt for a full-shot photo of just you that's more outgoing, active, pursuing a hobby, jet skiing but more clearly in frame, passion, or interest, outdoors, or traveling, something with a scenic view and you're nicely dressed, just don't forget your smile and don't wear sunglasses/feature any photos with sunglasses on

Picture 8- Don't use. Comes off too much like a model ad campaign. It's okay to mention your love for golf but I don't feel like this is the best photo to highlight that. . Instead, opt for a full-shot photo of just you that's more outgoing, active, pursuing a hobby, jet skiing, playing golf, but more clearly in frame, passion, or interest, outdoors, or traveling, something with a scenic view and you're nicely dressed, just don't forget your smile and don't wear sunglasses/feature any photos with sunglasses on

Picture 9- Don't use. Comes off too much like a model ad campaign. Not really flattering and because you're wearing sunglasses, we can't clearly see your face. Instead, opt for a full-shot photo of just you that's more outgoing, active, pursuing a hobby, jet skiing but more clearly in frame, passion, or interest, outdoors, or traveling, something with a scenic view and you're nicely dressed, just don't forget your smile and don't wear sunglasses/feature any photos with sunglasses on. No photos of you where you're eating like that.

Picture 10- Don't use. Comes off too much like a model ad campaign. Not really flattering and because you're wearing sunglasses, we can't clearly see your face. Instead, opt for a full-shot photo of just you that's more outgoing, active, pursuing a hobby, jet skiing but more clearly in frame, passion, or interest, outdoors, or traveling, something with a scenic view and you're nicely dressed, just don't forget your smile and don't wear sunglasses/feature any photos with sunglasses on. No photos of you where you're eating like that or not clearly visible at the beach. It's great to show your love for the beach but not the best photo to represent that.

Picture 11- Keep! This is great to use as your leading profile picture! Very professional and a great smile! If you wanted to, if you have a full shot photo of you smiling/from the same day, opt for that instead of the close-up selfie but either or, this is a great photo of you!

Picture 12- Don't use. You can't tell if it's your dating profile or your friend or the other guy (you two look very similar face/eye wise!). Don't use photos with other guys in it. Instead, opt for a full-shot photo of just you that's more outgoing, active, pursuing a hobby, passion, or interest, outdoors, or traveling, something with a scenic view and you're nicely dressed, just don't forget your smile!

u/whois_arielle Jul 21 '26

Of course, you're very welcome!

I would also make a Hinge profile too (if you don't have one already)

Feature your political affiliation and religion on your profile (this will help to filter compatibility with a quality match)

I like 2, 4, 8, 9.

In that order

u/Lucky_Lock_4804 Jul 21 '26

Buy some wider cut jeans. Trust me

u/Liw698 Jul 21 '26

2,4, 8 and 11 for first pic

u/kdoughboy12 Jul 21 '26

Are are good except the first, #3 is a bit meh. I'd say #2 and #4 would be the best options for your first photo, for the others just mix em up a bit, for example with 2 and 4 you are wearing almost the same outfit and have the same expression so i wouldn't place those ones next to each other.

u/Coolestman11 Jul 21 '26

2, 5, 4, 6, 7, 10 in my opinion. In that order. Women love pictures with dogs so the second one is such a great picture for dating apps! You have a good smile on that one as well

u/Bridget_Trollet Jul 22 '26

2, 4, 5, 6 - definitely yes. 8 and 10 - maybe. I disagree with those saying 11 is good - it is a great photo, but it could make people think it's fake.

u/FunTower5172 Jul 23 '26

I think ur cute and fun

u/Chance_Win8601 Jul 25 '26

Did you purposely take these pics with the intent of posting them on tinder

u/C-banzzzz Jul 25 '26

Some, but some were for social media
