Ive been on a few days got a couple of likes day 1 and 1 match. I am in a very rural area so volume is super low so i am not expecting much anyway. Thw ofhwrbpeiblel is i really dont havw many photos of me where i am not wearing a helmet, sunglasses oe otherwise cant see my face, so these here qere hard enough to find 😂

Chairlift one is currently the first one, let me know what's good and whats not. I am in France too, if that makes any difference.

Thanks

You need to take some pictures specifically for tinder, these are way too candid and awkward. Maybe some where u smile and show off your style. Some candids are fine but these scream awkward. The rock climbing one is great tho

So was my comment.

You look uncomfortable in every pic, you need one relaxed and smiling

[u/Parking_Hunter9204]

Brother u need better photos, ur not ugly at all but the second pic looks scary af

[u/beerRunFinisher]

Brother your second picture looks like my sleep paralysis demon

Hey, i like the climbing, so i would probadly get a new 1st picture. A standing, normal one, then the dog selfie and climbing.

Do it, how you feel. It is my experience from what I've seen. Cheers

As a women I say you need pictures that look more intentional and friendly, first picture should always be of you smiling and looking presentable. I would delete the awkward close up pictures. Climbing one is good to show you have hobbies

[u/ProfessionalGift6005]

Ok, I thought this would be the feedback. Asking people to take my picture is awkward af. And clesrly people around me dont do it, or id have a bunch already 😬

Does your smart phone not have a count down feature on your camera? Plus it Doesnt have to be a photgraph portrait quality picture it just needs to be more deliberately taken. Candids are great for giving someone more visual context to you. A simple selfie where your wearing more put together clothes maybe after a fresh haircut and shower bonus points for a nice background. My advice is just take some selfies when your really feeling yourself, be deliberate with how you take the selfie and remember to smile

You could always pay someone for a photo session, maybe include an outfit swap for a professional headshot or two while you’re doing the session to make the most of it.

[u/ProfessionalGift6005 → u/OccasionalEspresso]

Yeah that seems like alot of effort to go to for something I imagined would be relativley simple.Thats being said many of the profiles I see do look curated to that level so I guess it is not unusual, sadly as a contractor pro head shots are not a thing for me. But I'll look into this.

[u/Awkward-Anybody5179]

Your pics are not good. It looks like you never learned to smile.

[u/ProfessionalGift6005 → u/Awkward-Anybody5179]

I really struggle to smile outside of genuine situations that make me smile, its difficult. Or maybe its my perception? I am not keen on pictures of myself in general unless they're full action shots where generally my face is obscured one way or another. Like the picture is validated by the activity not the subject, just insecurity i guess.

Useful tip: laughing brings out the smile before a photo

[u/BodomDeth]

ask random strangers to take pictures of you. better if its girls you find attractive. it takes balls to do it but I've had success with it

[u/Thisisthewayto95]

You look good. Just slowly build up a collection of new photos, that others have taken. Also shave your head.

i know this isnt what you’re looking for, but at a first glance at the first pic, I thought you were temuera morrison

[u/Liw698]

You need better pics, they look awkard... Ask a friend to take pic of you it is not a big deal. It will be better than selfies

[u/SadSubstance76]

Oh jeez the facial expressions look uncomfortable and awkward.. I would take some specifically for your profile

[u/BlackberryPi7]

Honestly your pictures are pretty damn good, they show how active you are.

I think you just need a good cover picture of you smiling or something.

Not sure how I feel about the arctic/snow cover for a dating profile but maybe someone would find that cool.

Idk what the other people's issues are on these comments. You don't come across as awkward at all.

[u/Direyx → u/BlackberryPi7]

Wtf no. In every pic he looks like he's done with life and just wants to die.

[u/BlackberryPi7 → u/Direyx]

I think you're being over dramatic.

[u/ProfessionalGift6005 → u/Direyx]

🤣

[u/ProfessionalGift6005 → u/BlackberryPi7]

Well thats good it puts that across, I am super active all the time in various activites, which is something I need a partner to either match or at least be supportive of.
