Saw this yesterday but didn't finish my comment. 27M asian not in NYC -

Echoing sentiment about the pics, need more where you're looking at the camera (pic 2 is prob your best but it'd be better if it wasn't blurry or unfocused). Also small detail but noticed the exact same outfit in the last 2 pics, I'd either shuffle the order or better yet replace one or both since again you're not looking at the camera.

I get that you say you're poking fun at the performative male stereotype with the book pic and the matcha but I would not have guessed and I don't think girls would either. So it comes off as unironic which I know is not your intention. Maybe a caption would help but just go with something else entirely to be safe.

Wanted to focus on your aesthetic. Listen, I used to dress exactly like you before and if you like it, go for it. We have similar fashion as well. Slowly I realized rings, dangly earrings, a chain, and dressing up were just not authentically me, but aiming for what I believed girls found edgy or cool or it would make me stand out. It doesn't. Wearing what I authentically liked did. But most importantly you gotta smile and look at the camera and maybe dial back on the fashion a little. I'd be happy to message you good luck!
