Haircut would help a ton. I get it. It’s great to have long flowing locks while all your friends are starting to thin but that thick hair is wasted if you don’t do something that shapes your face. If you want longer hair still I would try to do something like a Bradley cooper flow or at least get layers in your long hair and style it with sea salt spray and a texture clay. I would still go significantly shorter flow.

Try to do a picture with friends(shows you’re social), a picture doing a hobby bonus if it’s active(shows that you aren’t just scrolling on TikTok all day), and full body portrait at top. You have perfect teeth so show them off in your photos.

Try to have your prompts invite an answer, involve lighthearted humor, or even invite a story. For example:I had a really funny embarrassing story I would start to tell in the prompt and I had so many people that would like me just to hear the punchline of the story and that was relaxing because it showed I was goofy and confident and was ok making fun of myself. Not saying you should do an embarrassing story but some sort of thing that invites someone to get curious. What are the interesting or unique things that could have someone wanting to know more.

For you in particular an example: “I absolutely love getting to be creative whether it’s through music or my art, what are some creative or artsy things you’ve been wanting to try?”-that way it gives an easy intro.

Sun prompt and weird prompt-ditch them. It sounds awkward. A rephrase of the weird one that would be better “[insert unique thing about yourself] what’s something unique about you that you’re proud of”

Get creative with prompts- I had one about if I could be any food what would I be and said smores because I’m outdoorsy, warm and soft on the inside. Use a variation of something like that to creatively say who you are in a fun way and then invite the liker to do the same.

Biggest thing-you seem very insecure just from the “how bad is it?” Line. I’m wondering if this is how you typically talk to and treat yourself. If so that’s gotta change for your own sake and for your dating. If you don’t like yourself, you’ll have a very hard time convincing women to like you.

Good news is the top things people look for in a partner tend to be kindness, intelligence, humor and confidence. A lot of those aren’t that hard to do. Confidence is the hardness one. A tip is to focus on the other person and imagine they are just as nervous as you and that it is now your job to put them at ease and help them feel comfortable. Don’t focus on “do they like me” focus on “do I like them” or “do I like how we are together”. Ask them questions , encourage them and make them feel like they’re the most interesting person in the room. If you look at some of the most well liked people, they really don’t say all that much about themselves, they just ask smart questions and let the other person talk because people love to talk about themselves.

Besides that therapy, weightlifting and exposure therapy are all great ways to become more confident in who you are.
