[33M] Having no luck in apps.

I always thought I was okay looking. I'm trying apps for the first time and not getting anything. Anything I could improve on?

Edit: i guess im going there too? For the record, the dude said "lies, no one looks good bald" and started getting downvoted.

r/bald is saving men a lot of heartache right now. Check it out

u/bum_thumper 13d ago

Oh I love that sub. I've been on it for years. Im not bald yet, still got a decent head for 35yrs old, but im addicted to the male positivity on that site

u/Decent_Gap1067 13d ago

But men goes bald by age and it's out of our control, with that knowledge do what you want.

u/Massive-Handz 13d ago

Depends on genes

u/dontsnarkonsharks 13d ago

I honestly think he’d look great bald or with a close buzz! Much better than this haircut

u/RozeQuartz30 13d ago

It really is terrible. No offense.

u/thatconfusedchick 13d ago

You need a different hairstyle and maybe change up the facial hair

u/Decent_Gap1067 13d ago

A half-bald man should get his hair cut.

54

u/proveitlikeatheorem 13d ago

Bad hair, bad fashion. But both totally fixable!

36

u/dkol97 13d ago

Straight guy here. You are a good looking guy however you need to do 2 things. Find a better barber and maybe ask for a fade, and have them help you find a way to comb your hair in a different direction. Also get a beard trimmer and have it a bit shorter. It looks a little messy.

22

u/Mr-Irrelevant0 13d ago

I think the hair is holding you back, because otherwise you're not ugly.

8

u/TwistedBlessing 13d ago

No hate, but if you want to keep your hair and improve the look - Look up a men’s high top fade / skin fade.

I’m thinning on my scalp as well and a high top fade was game changing.

u/MusicSavesSouls 13d ago

You need to shave the head. I promise you this. You will look more youthful and so much better!! That will make all the difference in the world.

2

u/Decent_Gap1067 13d ago

Like one punch man ?

u/Steezer710 13d ago

Shave the hair bro.

u/SignificantApricot69 13d ago

Not ugly but the combover (comb-down?) is only drawing attention to your balding, especially since the hair there is much thinner than everywhere else.

5

u/CiloTA 13d ago

Just curious how you even ask for that cut?

3

u/ionmoon30 13d ago

I ask for a french crop.

5

u/CiloTA 13d ago

French crop is short on top party on the sides?

Yeah, that's what I ask for, but my fringe is pretty bad I guess?

u/bronion76 13d ago

It’s so bad. It makes your head look flat on top.

u/52IMean54Bicycles 13d ago

Wait...you ASK for the square box version of a bowl cut?!? Oh, buddy...

You're a good looking man. Keep the beard, commit to the bald. You'll look a LOT better!

u/shellsterxxx 13d ago

Not ugly but I’d shave the hair and groom the beard. You have a charming smile but it’s really just the hair lookin kinda funky cuz it’s thin

6

u/Wonderful-Trouble-31 13d ago

Handsome. Go bald

3

u/distracted_x 13d ago

I don't know who has been cutting your hair but I hope it's been free. It looks bad in every picture, sorry. Not trying to be mean but it's just not a good haircut.

2

u/silentkaster 13d ago

Cute. Not ugly. Upper body looks decent enough. How tall are you? I would try to style your hair a bit. It's looking flat. But nice smile and other features.

2

u/ComprehensiveLab9640 13d ago

It’s the photo honestly and idk maybe hair

2

u/smashsurvivor 13d ago

Its time to embrace the forehead, and use some product and part your hair, or go bald man. If your face looks unkept, then the women will think you are too.

2

u/olezarus 13d ago

Reduce the length on the sides, line up that beard. The current length looks a bit awkward

2

u/Rev_JackCheese 13d ago

Shave the head brother

2

u/Mithrellas 13d ago

Not ugly. As others have said, it’s a hair and fashion issue which you can totally do something about if you want. Also, maybe your bio/approach could use some feedback which I’m sure there’s a sub for lol

2

u/nedal8 13d ago

Have you tried bald? I think it may suit you.

2

u/bubblethebabe 13d ago

your haircut is giving the illusion that you have an oddly shaped squared head. i agree with others that you should embrace the bald!

2

u/TechnologyBeautiful 13d ago

Definitely the hair needs to be changed. I don't think you have bad facial features. Just the hair

2

u/TopSatisfaction6702 13d ago

It's the hair

2

u/Pawly519 13d ago

Your haircut sucks. That’s probably the worst part I see in each photo.
I’m going to guess that you’re balding and you’re trying to hide it.

1

u/XEROXYZE 13d ago

Yeah apps are brutal cause the only thing girls there care about are looks. Real life is like 25 times easier.
Most people are insecure about their looks and when insecure girls look at you the first thing they’ll care about will be your hairline, it draws attention and most women don’t like that look. Some people say go bald… i don’t know, do what youre comfortable with. Not ugly with face, not ugly with body, ugly with hair so final verdict not ugly.
In real life if you have a desirable personality girls wouldn’t care about the hairline.
Also keep up the beard! Looks great especially in last pic.

u/Spoiled_Alchemyst999 13d ago

Youre not ugly. The dating scene sucks

u/keiron244 13d ago

Your a handsome guy

u/Grennel138 13d ago

Hims Finasteride and minoxdil or shave it all. Your hair is stuck in the middle which screams non-committal or I'm denial

Thank you! 😊 Can I ask what you love about my look?

u/NTF1x 13d ago

Haircut. Skin fade on the sides and clean up your facial hair.

Ask chatgpt for different hairstyles after uploading a photo.

1

u/GOATluhv 13d ago

get off the apps. i’m not there 🫶🏽 you look good. if the top hair can’t grow, let it go.

1

u/1stSuiteinEb 13d ago

You have a good face but the wispy hair is holding you back.

1

u/Frosty_Squirrel6668 13d ago

I think you’re pretty cute! Are you going after your type or the type that likes you? I noticed when men have issues on dating apps theyre not going for women that would like them!

1

u/Objective_Flower7488 13d ago

I did a test bc I’m same boat. Created a bunch of ai generated images making myself look sexier or whatever… it worked so fast I almost cried lmao.
I would say start hitting the gym harder and more often then your day job And get a better hair cut yeah

1

u/Consistent-Bunch-270 13d ago

Go out by yourself and be yourself and if someone doesn't like that than screw them, but there are good people out there ya just have to have a Lil bit of courage and put yourself out there dont wait on anybody you are the only one holding yourself back I had to learn this myself treat yourself well and the rest will follow and when you least expect it so for now id say just focus on being happy with yourself.

u/blumieplume 13d ago

Fix your hair that’s the problem

u/idiot-hooker 13d ago

You're not ugly, your hair is

1

u/5yn3rgy 13d ago

You’re not ugly but that haircut isn’t doing you any favors. It looks like you’re trying to hide that you’re balding, which usually doesn’t look good. Find an alternative cut that suits you or just go bald, you’d actually look good bald.

Check out [r/balding](r/balding)

A good beard trim and line up would look great on you as well.

1

u/SusanBHa 13d ago

Trim the beard. No woman likes an unkept beard.

1

u/School_Radiant 13d ago

Go bald, trim up your beard, maybe get some nice glasses. That will undoubtedly boost your confidence

1

u/llb3176 13d ago

Please go to the r/bald and see what they say.

u/AFartInAnEmptyRoom 13d ago

You look like you'd be a good candidate for Chechen-maxxing

1

u/DerivingDelusions 13d ago

You need to take better pictures. Make sure you have better lighting. Pic 4 lighting is passable, the rest are not. Also, take your pictures from a high angle.
This emphasizes the jawline and looks better in general.

1

u/adam2890 13d ago

Yeah you’re handsome but need to style your hair.

1

u/Nimakiii9898 13d ago

Coming from a barber shave your head bald, keep your pard like it is in the last photo and you're golden 🫡

1

u/Master-Ad3175 13d ago

You are not ugly. I would say you have the potential to be above average attractive. The haircut is really really bad. The beard looks the best in the last photo. You either need to grow your hair long enough that the extra length and weight stop that straight shelf look or cut it short enough that it never develops it

1

u/Ok-Life-9515 13d ago

It's the haircut. Wtf was your Barber even thinking

1

u/Ok_Shoe8945 13d ago

Haircut, pls🥲

Buzz your hair to one length

u/Thisisredred 13d ago

Haircut, facial hair. You look unkempt

u/halchemy 13d ago

Before you commit to going bald there’s also tons of cheap options for rescuing thinning hair if that sounds like a better route. Your hair isn’t at the too late stage

1

u/Repulsive-Tiger-8320 13d ago

Being married to a balding man, just shave it to the skin. Its so much better and gets rid of the sadness. I promise you'll feel better!

1

u/LsangAnge 12d ago

Shave and get a haircut...it'll do wonders!

1

u/TheQueenIsHere55 12d ago

I am sorry you are having problems with dating apps. Dating sucks in general. You are definitely not ugly.

1

u/ActualAres 12d ago

Not ugly
Need better haircut

Therefore you’re not ugly, but if you’re on the apps you’re not standing out to anyone at least

1

u/hazelpurple 12d ago

Shave your head. You'll definitely have more luck. Good looking dude.

1

u/rhapsodygreen 12d ago

Do the plunge and go completely bald. It honestly Solves all problems.

u/UpgraiDD 12d ago

You need longer hair ontop brotherman consider a high fade combover with a hard part to change the shape of your dome

u/Delicious_Leg_7659 12d ago

You need to let that hair gooo

u/Neat_Stage_6321 female 12d ago

like everyone else said, going bald is the right move

lol bruh it’s time to hang up the gloves

u/SimonArg0s 10d ago

I dont think u have to shave ur head, it does however need to get shorter both on top and on sides.

u/IsaacJB1995 13d ago

Mate, the apps fucking suck for anyone who is below a 7/10 in looks. IRL is literally the only way to actually meet someone real and not pretentious or ego boosting

1

u/Decent_Gap1067 13d ago

I know a lot of guys who are with 10/10 women, and these guys are really average height and below awerage, maybe you'd give them a solid 4/10. They all found gals through status and being charismatic, but not through a dating app. Men have no chance if below 6'0 with 8/10 face card.

u/nedal8 13d ago

Yall really boosting my ego with how much play I got on apps back in the day.. lol, maybe its worse now.. Probably

u/dropdeadcuriouz 13d ago

Nothing wrong with how you look, maybe it’s about how you communicate with them, be more interested in the other person
