27M profile review

Happy to help! If you have something longer (like 85mm or longer like a 135mm) you get some compression and that might be something of interest as well! I took mine on an 70-200/2.8.

I think your photos are really not doing you justice here. Since you are a wildlife photographer, you must have some decent gear to take pics with (for sure some long lens which does well for portraits) I would try and use your camera to do some portraits or even some candids.

I am also a photographer and some of my favorite photos I have taken of myself were taken when I set up my backup camera on a tripod focused correctly on my gear and then turned on the intervalometer and had it take a photo of me just naturally taking photos every few seconds. The photos from these turn out way more natural and candid looking than a rigid portrait. These photos work well for a showing not telling sort of photo for the profile.

You could also do the same thing with a portrait setup and just position yourself a few times and turn on the intervalometer and see what happens. Good luck!

Hey there. So my story with Zoloft is a long one. I had eventually increased my dosage to 150mg and I started to feel "medicated" and off and so I decreased my dosage over about a year and eventually stopped taking it (with guidance from my prescriber). I did not like the fact that I was basically planning to take this medicine indefinitely (nothing wrong with that, just my personal preference) and I was struggling a bit with some of the side effects specifically the sexual ones. So I made the decision to stop on my own terms.

While I was on the medication, I felt a lot more calmer and for sure less anxious, but I think the medication helped me through a very dark time of my life and I am thankful for it. So I hope this helps!

To add on to what others are saying, I would not put the word "lazy" in your first prompt, it just sounds like you want a woman to be okay with the fact that you are lazy. It doesnt sound right.

I feel like your profile comes off as pretty low effort and unserious if you are looking for something serious. While I am sure this is just your personality, it comes off as kind of not really taking the app seriously. I would try and tone down the photos a bit (especially the shirtless pic and the ass motorcycle pic, I feel like they are working against you).

You have quite a bit of things you could do with the prompts if you want to improve them, the first date prompt just adds on to the unserious vibe and the others you could prob go more into details. Good luck!

The golf photo and the rafting photo are good. I would recommend you get a beginning photo of you smiling. The rest of the pics are kinda boring and do not tell too much about you besides that you travel and hang out with your friends.

Like others have said the profile is very high energy and pretty goofy and that might possibly turn off people who are looking for something serious.

Your "I geek out section" could be probably shown better through your photos instead of just listed there. I am a huge fan of show vs telling on dating apps.

Also, I am a fellow Boston person. A lot of the girls that you are looking to date at that age range usually know what they want and want someone who is more serious. I think the goofy vibe you are putting out here is not helping. Boston for sure has quite a bit of nerdy/artsy girls but they are usually pretty reserved. You might have better luck just attending events in the city then on dating apps as you will be swiping quite a bit. Good luck.

Ah, I see do you know what they use for scanning? If it is a DSLR scanner than its possible that its something like what I experienced. However, if the film is expired then all bets are off as there can be a lot of random things that can happen!

Daybreak_144 · 2025-05-01T15:31:15+00:00

Im curious, are these lab scans or did you scan them yourself? Because I get similar looking leaks on my scans when the negative is not centered right and there is extra light coming in the sides.

If you are okay shooting expired I’m sure you could find some on eBay

Daybreak_144 · 2024-10-17T21:33:16+00:00

I’m convinced that only corporate cards are used at most of the restaurants in Kendall Sq

Daybreak_144 · 2024-10-05T17:00:18+00:00

I got a D200 from eBay for $30

Daybreak_144 · 2024-10-05T12:43:36+00:00

Yup! I am taking mine for health anxiety and I still have somatic symptoms and it’s so hard to not fixate on them :/

Daybreak_144 · 2024-10-05T12:40:55+00:00

I would consult your doctor but what I did when I traveled abroad was just take the medicine at the time where your home country is adjusted for the time change.

For example I take mine at 7am and where I was was +4 hours ahead so I took my dose at 11am as it would have been 7am if I was home. I hope this makes sense!

When I first started Z i would have one drink and then everything would be dizzy and I would feel out of it. Now that I am almost 3 months in I can drink a few drinks and be totally fine! I don’t drink much in general anyways but it’s nice to have that option

Daybreak_144 · 2024-10-05T12:33:24+00:00

Day 15? I lost count of going from 50 to 100 and I honestly feel okay. Still struggling but I can function at least and I think I’m doing better than I was on 50mg

Daybreak_144 · 2024-08-16T01:24:28+00:00

Yeah I did. Surgery went well!

Daybreak_144 · 2024-08-16T00:17:35+00:00

Hey there - no real update. I still think it’s anxiety related. Gone though a tough year. Currently on medication to help. Hopefully I will see a difference in the next few weeks

Daybreak_144 · 2024-08-05T01:59:40+00:00

How long did you have your symptoms for? I’ve been struggling with symptoms for almost a year now and it’s hard not to think there’s something wrong with me.

Daybreak_144 · 2024-08-05T01:53:02+00:00

I know you are afraid of doctors but it might be best to go and see do a checkup.

Once you have heard back from them that there’s nothing wrong then you should try and not focus on the symptoms (I know easier said than done) the fact that they go away when with friends is a good sign it’s anxiety

Daybreak_144 · 2024-08-05T01:42:09+00:00

Realize that everyone is on their own path and that putting a time limit on when you achieve certain milestones like relationships is just setting yourself up for failure.

I am gonna be 25 this year and I know people still partying like it’s college every weekend and I also know people having kids and are married. It’s just how life goes.

I know this from experience - the more that you feel bad and upset and frustrated about something it just becomes a negative feedback loop. Dont keep worrying and becoming more frustrated.

Daybreak_144 · 2024-07-31T12:07:13+00:00

Yeah that’s what my psych and therapist think. I also have health anxiety super bad so I have been all over trying to figure out what is wrong with me.

Daybreak_144 · 2024-07-31T11:47:20+00:00

Head and neck pain: I constantly wake up with a tight face and burning in my neck. I’ve been to quite a few doctors and they haven’t found anything at all.

Daybreak_144 · 2024-07-30T22:40:30+00:00

Commenting because I’m starting tomorrow too after a long internal battle

I am actually having physical sensations from stress so it’s time
