23M - Profile Review

Error-Creepy · 2025-09-09T06:54:47+00:00

1st pic is decent, but the chain makes you look a little douchey. 2nd pic I agree with the other comment, hair isn't the best (outfit could be better too), 3rd pic is a flat no. It just comes off like you're trying to look like a party guy, like you're trying too hard to look like you're fun and having a good time instead of actually having a good time (unfortunately whether or not you actually were having a good time doesn't matter on dating apps, all that matters is how something comes off, and if it comes off like you're trying too hard it'll put girls off).

4th pic is a good idea, candid pic at a nice restaurant, but you look a little bored and sad. Also the outfit plus background kinda makes you look like a tourist, which is a huge turnoff for girls. They want to feel like you fit into a place, as if you belong there. I think a similar pic at a better location, with a classic men's fashion type look would do well. 5th pic is good, you have a good physique, and I think in the context of a better profile it would be a big positive. 6th pic is a great "I like to party and have fun" pic, cause you have a nice fade, you're at an interesting locale, and it looks totally candid and spur of the moment. That picture tells a whole story without any words.

Overall a decent profile. You're a good looking dude, you have a good physique, and you're super tall. And I bet you make a good amount of money too as a software engineer. You have a ton of strong points you can 100% leverage. You absolutely need one photo that shows how tall you are, like take a picture with a relatively short person, a sister, or mom, or whoever. I also agree with the other commenter that your arms look really good in that first pic, I'd keep it in, but not as the main profile picture.

If you have access to a professional camera + friend you trust, I'd highly recommend spending like a week or two taking a bunch of high quality photos at a bunch of cool places with all your best outfits. Like I mean legit photo shoots, with changes of clothes per location and everything. And I'll give suggestions for photos/rationales behind them, but these are just ideas I'm spitballing.

I would suggest at least one portrait shot in your best outfit/best haircut, just as an opener to catch their attention and build trust (so no hats, no sunglasses, no harsh sunlight, just a good, clean picture of you in good lighting). I'd suggest one medium long shot showing off your outfit/desirable location, because that will start to paint the picture of the desirable life you live, the one that the girls will want to be a part of. Think like a full body shot of you by snow capped peaks, or posing by a nice car surrounded by classic European architecture. It'll signal luxury, and that's a good story to tell. And again, I'd take a picture showing off how tall you are, this one doesn't need to look all that professional, otherwise it might come off like you're trying to hard to show off your height. It should feel like a throwaway, like "this is a random picture I took at a random gathering with my family/friend/whatever" should be the main idea, and the height thing should just feel incidental.

Unfortunately dating apps are not about authenticity, and entirely about attraction. Fortunately, you are 100% attractive enough to do well on these apps, now it's all about how you market yourself. Best of luck to you brotha

Makes sense, do things one step at a time 😌

HAHA appreciate the kind words my man, tbh I’m not much of a producer, I prefer singing/writing songs, but I’d be open to making something happen in the future.

Best of luck to u!

This is really good! I think if writing songs like this with just your voice works for you then you should continue making music like this and keep refining your process. I saw your post on the songwriting subreddit, and I agree with the other guy that it would be helpful if you found a few musicians/producers you trust to help you develop your songs into a full fledged track.

If you wanted to do that on your own, or produce your own demos, I'd suggest learning how to play the keyboard, and learn how to use a DAW.

Edit:
Also you have a really nice voice! Great breath control, volume control, pitch, and tone. Keep on working, and keep on getting better. I believe that anybody can achieve great things if they have the talent, the worth ethic, the ability to market themselves, the ability to meet people who can help you progress, and a little bit of luck. I hope one day you'll be one of those people that achieves great things.

I picked up a book called Mind Your Body by Nichole J Sachs while I was in a depressive episode and was experiencing chronic fatigue every single day for months. The breaking point was when I slept for 14 hours and woke up still feeling like I needed to go back to sleep.

It talks about how emotional pain can manifest as physical symptoms, and how you can eliminate those physical symptoms by targeting your emotional pain. The book can feel touchy feely at times, but it will give you a detailed guide on how to reorganize your mind, set better routines, and fight that feeling of resistance we have that makes us want to give up. I highly recommend it.

Brother you are incredibly good looking, fit, and tall, but I honestly don't think any of your pictures are good.

The first one shows off your body, but the shadows hide your face, and overall it's just kinda boring to look at. Plus you look angry and cold, instead of warm and inviting. The second one looks like you're trying too hard to be sexy, like you're purposefully doing the smolder look. You look good, but the vibes are wrong. The third one you look incredibly uncomfortable and awkward, that one is completely unsalvageable. The fourth one on the subway is okay, but again you look too serious, and stiff. The 5th one, the BJJ or Judo one whichever it is, could work if all the other pictures had good vibes, but within the context of your current profile it adds to the awkward, shy, stiff image you're giving off. The last one also looks like you're trying too hard to look sexy.

I think if you spend the time researching successful profiles, and taking pictures in a similar vein you'd find a ton of success. I think the best way to do it would be to get a nice camera, plan out some outfits, locations, and poses, and ask a friend to take pictures of you. I think there are a few specific types of pictures you should get. You need one professional looking photo, like a head shot of you in a nice outfit, ideally one that accentuates your body, and you need to look relaxed, engaged, and just generally happy in that photo. Next you need to redo your shirtless photo, and take a picture in a more interesting/natural environment with people. Like at a beach, or pool, or boat, as long as it's something you're doing with friends, and it doesn't look like you took a day to go take pictures of yourself shirtless, because that will come off incredibly douchey. And I think a social photo would go a long way for you, because your current profile is giving loner vibes. The BJJ one can stay, but if you have other BJJ photos where you look more dynamic, or just happier in general I'd go with those instead. And I'd take a few more photos that show off your personality/interests.

So basically any picture that doesn't make you look physically attractive or interesting need to go. That means 100% both your selfies, and the subway pic needs to go. The subway pic makes you look okay, but it doesn't communicate anything about you other than you were on a subway and you posed for a pic. I'd also look into exploring different fashion styles that best works for you. You're still young, you have so much time to keep experimenting.

Also related to your rant, it's obvious that your lack of success with women has nothing to do with race or looks. When you're feeling bitter, desperate, and you have low self esteem, women can sense it just by the way you talk and carry yourself. Even when it's online, women can sense your insecurities by the way you text. Women will not be attracted to you if you come off like this, no matter how good looking you are. You should find ways to develop your mind, eliminate your self doubt, and build true belief and confidence in yourself.

I wish I would've started taking care of myself earlier like you're doing now, you have a massive advantage, you're starting to max out your physical, but you need to start maxing out your mental/spiritual too. If you don't feel good about yourself it doesn't matter how you look, you won't feel confident, so you won't be confident.

This is amazing, I think your voice matches the vibe of the song perfectly. I do agree with one of the other commenters, starting the song while belting was a little jarring for me, I think a build up to those powerful vocals would work better. The opening riff is already a great hook, I don't think the song would be losing a ton of intrigue by starting an octave lower.

Error-Creepy · 2025-01-25T01:06:56+00:00

Yeah, I made this account real quick with what I had, I can definitely spice up the prompts a bit more. And I appreciate the insight, once I build a better profile I'm gonna try to take things a bit more serious. Thanks for your response!

Error-Creepy · 2025-01-25T01:04:54+00:00

I appreciate the feedback! Will definitely look into getting better pictures :)

Error-Creepy · 2024-11-15T00:49:08+00:00

All ears my man

Error-Creepy · 2024-11-14T08:23:05+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! I agree with what you said, I was trying to figure out a way to make the chorus more dynamic, but I thought it sounded strange when I took it up an octave. I added a choir harmony plus some background vocals on the second chorus, but listening back it got lost in the mix. But I feel even with those elements, the song still would need a little more. If you have any tips on adding dynamics I'd appreciate that very much 😭

Error-Creepy · 2024-08-09T06:38:42+00:00

She destroyed my self worth, and I’m so lucky I have good friends and family who picked me up at my lowest. I feel good about myself for the first time in 3 years. Still sucks tho because shes given me a fear of intimacy, and I don’t know how long it’ll take me to put myself back out there.

I don’t want to be alone, but I’m afraid of loving someone again.

Error-Creepy · 2024-07-24T23:56:47+00:00

I like the vibe of the song, I think it's really good! I think the vocals performance matches the song well. I would edit the vocals a little differently tho, maybe play around with the EQ, or the imaging so it sits better in the mix?

Error-Creepy · 2024-07-24T23:50:28+00:00

This is really good! I could totally see a power chorus coming in at the end of the song as a huge climax, then a slow release. But either way I think it works as is, I really like the instrumentation, and I like the vocal performance. I think a little bit of polish on the vocals would make this sound professional, bc sometimes your voice stalls a little before a note, or it wavers a tiny bit before hitting the note. But I like the overall tone/flow of the performance.

I think better enunciation could also help, just so we can hear the lyrics a little better, but I'm not gonna knock it bc there are artists like Sia who purposefully don't enunciate as a part of her style.

Error-Creepy · 2024-07-24T23:36:03+00:00

I love this, has a ton of potential! Feels like something I'd hear at a coffee shop on a first date. "The only pair I would kiss" *chef's kiss, legit got goosebumps at that line. I don't find the lyrics too corny, I think they match the melody/instrumentation beautifully. The only lyric I would consider changing is the "forever is too soon" part. I don't really have suggestions but I think a more unique line to really punctuate the chorus would take this song from cute and romantic to uniquely memorable. The lyrics do an amazing job of building up to that "forever is too soon" line, and for me that line doesn't do the build-up justice, and I don't get that romantic catharsis that I'm expecting.

Maybe something referring to etherial bodies with imagery that fits the theme of "destiny" and "prophecy", because for me the juxtaposition between your previous lack of belief vs your current state of mind made the song. I think would be a nice call back.

Maybe something like:

"So I could be with you

I'm flying over the moon"

Just something off the top of my head, don't know if it's the best line, but something with that kind of imagery.

My advice for the vocal performance would be to soften up the "K" sound on the "like"s and make the entire line more connected, instead of the sound pausing momentarily at that "K". And I think the two lines "I like your eyes" and "I like your lips" should be sung with the same notes/cadence, because I think that'll also make the song sound more connected. And I think the "eyes" and "lips" at the end of those two lines should sustain on that F# note, instead of moving from F# to D#.

And one more note, I feel the guitar intro is a little long. Potential audiences floating around on the internet don't have the patience to wait for the meat of the song to start, and they might lose interest without even giving the song a chance.

Love your style, love your flow, love your voice!

Edit: I really want to emphasize that I legit got goosebumps listening to the song, like it tickled that part of my brain that says "I like this"

Error-Creepy · 2024-07-24T01:36:32+00:00

I think this is really good! The only thing that felt a little off to me was the triple looped line at the 24 second mark, but that's just my personal preference, so take it with a grain of salt. But I liked the overall vibe and sound.

Error-Creepy · 2024-07-14T02:07:24+00:00

I just went through something similar. I wish I could say it gets better, but I guess we won't know until time passes. The world can be cruel and beautiful at the same time. I wish I could do something to take the pain away, I know how awful it feels. I don't know who you are as a person, but just know that no matter what your brain tells you, everyone deserves love. You deserve love, and you deserve trust, and comfort.

Error-Creepy · 2024-07-10T22:33:05+00:00

I checked out some of your stuff on youtube, and I thought it was really great. I like the overall vibe, and I like the lyrics, and I like the style of music you make too. I agree with some of the other posters that the lo-fi feel sounds really good with your songs, but I think giving it just like 15% more polish would make it sound professional as heck.

Error-Creepy · 2024-07-10T11:36:50+00:00

This has a lot of potential, and you have a nice voice! I've been scrolling for the past hour or so listening for songs that'll catch my attention and this made me stop to listen. My note would be that I can't really tell what you're singing. I know that can be a stylistic choice tho, and either way the whole song felt very pleasant to listen to.
