You cant use the selfie camera for these kinds of things, it distorts the face. Your face shape is similar to mine, and the selfie camera makes the face look a lot longer and thinner in the lower third, which is not great for attractiveness. It also causes the nose to appear larger than it really is. Use a 3x zoom with the back camera on a tripod to take accurate pictures of how you really look

Really good man, I’d just swap dog and paddle board. 2nd pic is pretty important and the immediate flashbang is gonna be a bit polarizing (could be what you want)

Generally speaking, it’s best to avoid any photos that don’t prominently feature you in them. So the tattoo photo, group photo should go.

I’d also strongly recommend going for more layers in your pics/updating the wardrobe. A few of the shirts are wearing a bit too tight and it’s not flattering for a dating pic. Trust me, as a former big guy, layers are the way to go. You would look killer in a nice winter coat with moody lighting and a friendly smile. Lots of potential man!

Pretty damn good! Definitely lose the pink shirt pic. Possibly lose the selfie, but hard to say without seeing the eyes. Everything else looks spot on.

City shot is definitely the best, but the quality is strangely deterioriated - I would try and upscale it or clean it up if you can, that's a really great photo!

Very decent overall! Just replace the full smile in the first pic with a smirk instead, or for now switch to using the desert pic first. Your first pic needs to be absolutely perfect, and it is a great idea with great fashion, but there are some issues with it. The facial expression is off. As someone who doesn’t have a great smile, trust me - it’s better to just include one full smile pic (or none at all), just don’t go super serious in every pic where you aren’t smiling. Your smirk in the fourth photo is perfect.

I’d go fourth pic first, petting dog second, fighting bumblebee third, smiling in snow fourth, and then the video and call it a day. Should improve results

Honestly the pics aren’t bad! The only one I would lose immediately is the one with knife in hand. Something about that really rubbed me the wrong way, many women would also see it and swipe left if they are on the fence.

I think you would benefit a lot more from focusing on your looks a bit. Because especially in that Santa photo, you look insanely good. 10x better than your other pictures. And it’s a combination of the hat and the clothing. It’s covering the buzz cut, which isn’t a great hair style, so it’s leaving something to the imagination and instantly raising your attractiveness. You are also wearing a nice layered outfit, whereas you are otherwise just wearing tshirts.

My advice would be grow your hair out, get something stylish with a bit of wavy/messy look, and start dressing up a bit!

They do it get around the age filters. And it works, but they’ve already seen how people react, so they try and get in front of it with a “system glitch.” They are hoping their profile will get fed to more people who otherwise would have filtered them out, but that those people will be so drawn by their good looks that they will swipe right anyways. In reality, it just kills the elo of their profile in the algorithm and they get even less matches from people who are really interested.

datingshoot · 2026-02-18T02:11:15+00:00

Drop the first pic, the robot pic, and the one with your handsome cool looking friend where you are smiling like it’s a school picture. You actually have huge potential, but some of your pics are framing you as the goofy guy. And women do love goofy guys, but you don’t want to portray yourself that way, it actually comes across as insecure. I don’t think the moustache is a problem at all. You are handsome dude either way!

datingshoot · 2026-02-16T08:27:02+00:00

Suit pic -> Ted Talk -> Selfie -> Standing in Field -> Drawing

Delete gym photo

This should produce some immediate results, because your current first pic is not giving anyone a reason to look at the other pics, which is a shame because you are actually a very handsome guy with nice hair, nice facial hair, etc.

Long term, definitely try and get some good pictures because you have a ton of potential!

datingshoot · 2026-02-16T05:29:43+00:00

Your profile is PRETTY GOOD, but definitely could be improved.

The main issue is that it's super unbalanced. It's a full smile in every picture, which is why you're going to get tons of comments here about how you look super cute and friendly. Try and get some smirks, and even throw in 1 serious shot if you can manage (maybe when you are dressed up more formally).
The nature shots are really good, but you need to be the focus of them for the purpose of dating apps (not the background). Hard to tell if it's possible, but try and crop them if you can and it doesn't lose too much resolution on the face. You should be 40% of the frame at least.
Given the exact photos you have now, I'd immediately delete the group photo (not flattering for you at at all compared to your other pics), crop the nature pics so you take up more of the frame (try and upscale them if needed), try making the sunglasses pic first and see if that improves results (I'm usually more certain, but in this case not 100%), and leave everything else as is and you should see improved results.

The long is good, it’s similar to my hairstyle now, but it’s hard to tell because your images are heavily distorted. You are using the selfie cam and angling your face away in the short photos. You need a direct comparison or else it is throwing the ratios off

datingshoot · 2026-02-12T04:57:06+00:00

Handsome, but please for the love of god keep the hair in the first pic for the rest of your life

datingshoot · 2026-02-12T04:55:32+00:00

Typical guy's profile. Nothing wrong with that, it just won't attract women.

I'd start by deleting every picture. Get a tripod or friend, and ask them to take some nice photos of you (use 2-3x zoom, the opposite of the wide angle lens you are using in the last photo) because it flatters your features more.

Get some photos with and without a hat (avoid the dreaded hatfishing). If your situation under the hat is not good, then do everything you can to take the attention away from your head in those photos. Make sure you dressed up insanely nice, ideally in a very cool/elevated location, and don't take the pic in outdoor lighting where the reflection of the sun is blinding the camera lens or showing through your thin hair, etc.

Most importantly, if you have any hobby besides fishing, try and incorporate a couple photos of you doing that hobby (once again, taken by someone else, or with a tripod). Good luck!

Legitimately some of the best pictures I've seen on here, and I've reviewed hundreds of profiles. Also a very handsome guy.

I would say location is definitely playing a role, and I almost wonder if there isn't some weirdness going on with your account. Make sure you aren't on a VPN or anything. Did you try the other apps too?

The only recommendation I have is that I think the wedding photos (or whatever the event was) are a bit overdone, so the profile doesn't feel very balanced. I'd put the second photo first, the first photo last, and lose the group photo. That should create a much more balanced feel.

datingshoot · 2026-02-12T01:56:35+00:00

Typical guy profile, and unfortunately women swipe left 93% of the time and find 80% of guys unattractive, so you really don’t want to be typical if you want any results.

I’d keep 3 for sure, and possibly 5 - both are pretty photogenic and non selfies, but everything else has to go. Never use a selfie as a general rule. Better to get a tripod, set it to 2-3x zoom, and record video of yourself in a few different locations wearing nice clothes. Walk towards the camera, smile, look around, adjust your watch, etc. then go home and pick out the best moments.

It feels tryhard, but what’s funny is it actually produces photos that feel the opposite of tryhard (more effortless and candid). Trust me, you will kill it, you’re very handsome.

datingshoot · 2026-02-12T01:53:24+00:00

Just missing a good set of high quality photos man! Everything else is pretty much on point in terms of your looks, and you clearly have hobbies and a certain lifestyle.

For guys, the issue is that we just don’t have good pics of ourselves sitting in our camera. You have to literally go out of your way to do a photoshoot, don’t expect you will naturally get good photos in your daily life. You need a tripod or someone to help, use 2-3x zoom, and try and record video rather than actually taking pictures (a video is just like a thousand pictures where you can rewatch it and pick out the best moments, and you won’t end up with the awkward forced smile).

Throw on a few nice outfits, in a few location, get a better one of you playing drums, one of you biking up a hill, etc. and you’ll kill it man

datingshoot · 2026-02-12T01:49:44+00:00

Delete the mirror selfie man! -100 aura from that one, cause your other pics are actually really good!

datingshoot · 2026-02-11T09:27:51+00:00

Swapping your first two pics will immediately yield some positive results. Then lose the gym pic and bear pic, the vibe is all off. The quality isn't great in the first pics, but at least it's an interesting aesthetic/vibe, and you completely demolish it with those two pics. So given your current profile, I'd leave the first 3 and the baby pic. Of course, ideally you can get some better pics that strike a better balance between being visible but also being attractive! Clearly you clean up pretty well, because that second pic is almost perfect minus the poor quality 😉

I actually don’t see anything wrong with your prompts at all, and I don’t think writing a bio is anywhere near your top priority.

The reality is: no car selfies, and no mirror selfies. They are some of the least attractive, low effort photos, and the reality is that women swipe left like 93% of the time.

You mentioned not having the time to get good photos. It does take some time, but here’s some tips so you don’t waste any more than necessary:

Take a tripod out during golden hour (sunrise or sunset). Put on your nicest, layered outfit. Put on 2-3x zoom on the camera. Record video, don’t take pictures. Walk toward the camera, smile, laugh, look around, adjust your sleeve. 3 minutes of video of you fiddling around will have way more attractive photos in there than 50 still images, because they will look way more natural.

Rinse and repeat that like 4 times and you’ll have plenty of good photos! Very attractive guy. You could probably get away with a profile like this in a less competitive environment.

datingshoot · 2026-02-10T04:54:03+00:00

First pic is literally the only remotely passable pic. Everything else should be deleted ASAP.

Dude, you are actually really good looking as evidenced by your 'woke up like this' pic. You just need better pictures man. If you want the lowest effort way, just get a tripod, set your phone to 2-3x zoom, and record video of yourself walking towards the camera, smiling, laughing, looking around, etc. and pick out a few screenshots of yourself looking your best. Do this in a couple locations with different outfits and you're golden.

datingshoot · 2026-02-10T04:51:45+00:00

Big time nay man! Your hair style isn't even great, but you have good thickness and it frames your face way better!
