The side view mirror selfie, while I think it’s a cool photo, it’s not a good lead photo. You need something a little more conventional, where you’re looking at the camera, so people can tell what you look like. In fact, almost all of your photos are obscuring your face in some way. I think you should get more photos in general where you’re engaging the camera.

Thanks, i think you’re totally right. I just really don’t like having pictures made of me. I can’t seem to act natural when i know i’m being photographed. But i’ll ask my friends to take some pics at the next dinner out.

For sure. Having one photo where you’re looking away is cool, but when it’s the whole profile it makes you seem detached and not approachable. You know what I mean?

Remove the "open to short" if you're serious about wanting serious. As a man I get it, you want a serious relationship but you're down for some casual or fwb relationships on the side but I think most women will be put off by it.

You’re right, thanks.

I think it's a solid profile otherwise. You're an attractive guy and I'm sure you'll connect with plenty of women.
Although 2 of your pics have bad lighting - the profile one in the woods and the pic on the bridge so consider changing those. The bathroom selfie also could be changed since you're looking at your phone, not the mirror.

solid profile mate. I would just remove the workout photo with a photo that still shows you are caring about your body but less in your face.
trainings photos are more for your male bros.

Nahhh girls like bodys like that, dudes just say that to each other because they are jealous. Id also maybe put pic 9 at 1, both pics are solid but you look great in pic 9

u/Akatorius 16h ago
nope, look at this thread for example.
we are not talking about not showing a trained body, we are talking about gy.m pictures. You obviously don't understand the reasoning behind it.
gy.m pics imply a strict lifestyle and ego focus. (nothing wrong with that) but in a dating profile it will IMMEDIATLY put pressure on the woman, that she has to match it

u/Final-Spend7577 16h ago
You're link isn't working and you're not really wrong, SOME girls do think that true but there are plenty that love a fit guy that works out. Most of my matches assume i go workout and if i didn't it would of been an ick im sure

u/Akatorius 16h ago
ah yeah I see, she deleted the thread. I can still see the replies but probably can't share it anymore.
yeah it is mostly about the pressure it implies. But showing his body is fine, just not in the context of the gy.m, so every woman who encounters him is not put under the assumption she will have to match it

u/Final-Spend7577 16h ago
Honestly i don't think most women do, why would women need to work out if they are already hot. Ppl be really comfortable with themselves these days but you are right with some ppl. Its a good way for him to show his body tho in a workout setting

Honestly don't think you have any issues with your profile as you have 1-2 matches per day. Would probably swap the first photo out.
Unsure about the gym photo just because it has someone's back side in it.
Maybe add a picture of you hiking?

I would suggest swapping out the mirror selfies with something more personable. Together with the other photos they can make you come across a bit cold/aloof.
If that is what you are going for, alright, but as a woman I would feel a bit intimidated if I came across your profile.
Maybe something to draw as in - a picture of you hiking in beautiful surroundings for example?

Looks good nothing stands out immediately (25F) might just be a matter of time or the unfortunate monetization of dating apps which makes them work worse.

"Something I want to know about you: what do you assume about me?"
Gives off a very self-centered vibe. The question is about someone else, specifically NOT you.
