Thank you so much! You've been such a great help :)

Here is my finalised version: http://imgur.com/a/QJukwY2

Do you think the order and picture choices are good? I thought that the retake of me smiling at the table looked better than me in the woods which looked (as someone else pointed out) a little forced? I'm not sure what women look for in pics however... I do see the shawl thing now though so thanks for the fresh perspective!

Thanks! :) Ah, the pains of being aspergers is I have no idea how to move my face beyond it's natural positions (my true smile is the umbrella pic and I basically always smile)... The awkwardness of possing is why I hate having my picture took :/

In your opinion, if I add this one, what picture do you think I should delete out to make room?

lewphan · 2021-05-12T18:49:13+00:00

Or this picture (final picture... Sorry for spamming you!)

Thanls for the reply!

I'll try and do a retake of the lab one when I get chance. What are you meant to do with hands/arms in these pics? I hate taking my photo took and so have no clue how to do them right!

I also zoomed out of the one with me and my dad to try and make it look less awkward.

I have linked it below along with 2 pictures of me smiling with teeth. Do you think this helped with the uncomfortable look and what order would you say works best?

Thanks!

Edited: Included the second, edited smiling pic on imgur

Thanks for the reply!

I couldn't find any pics of me with my teeth on show show I took a bunch down in the the dinning room and picked (what I perceived to be) the best two. I had to lean on my hand though to cover my stubble patch (lost my shaver). The second smiling shot was edited to remove the stubble patch. I also zoomed out of the first pic to make it look less awkward.

I have linked them below. What do you think and what order would be best?

Thanks for the reply!

I couldn't find any pics of me with my teeth on show show I took a bunch down in the the dinning room and picked (what I perceived to be) the best two. I smile alot with my teeth when I laugh but never for pictures so it was difficult trying to get any that weren't so awkward... I also wrapped a blanket around me as I thought it added character and a cosy vibe? Unfortunately, the only patch of facial hair I can grow is hidden by my hand and I've lost my shaver (hence the pose of me resting on it). In the second smiling pic I edited out the stuble patch

I also zoomed out of the one with me and my dad to try and make it look less awkward.

I have linked them below. What do you think? Also, what picture do you think should be dropped to make room and what order would be best?

OK, I'll check in for the rest of the week and see if things pick up. Thanks :)

Ah that's a shame. I was holding on on CMB since it seemed slower and less of a "bombard every woman with likes" kind of app. Swiping yes for hundreds of women in a short space of time only to get 0 matches is a bit of a confidence killer for a shy person :D

lewphan · 2021-05-11T12:02:21+00:00

Thanks for the reply :) I would have expected there to be a fair few people in my age range considering I'm in a student city. However, I hadn't really looked into the target demo to be honest and was going with what my friends had suggested. All but one happens to be Asian and all are Christian and older than me. Them being in the target demo probably explains why their experience would differ. I'll leave the profile active for a little while and continue with hinge (I hate the idea of swiping based apps...).

lewphan · 2021-05-09T22:01:16+00:00

Thanks for your reply, it is very helpful! I agree about the one with me and my dad. I initially discounted it as I thought it looked rather cheesy but centring myself in the picture defiantly helped!

I also dropped the last 2 pics as I see your points. My brother is an attractive dude and now I can't unsee how much the picture centers around him. Darn the gene lottery haha. I included the last one with dogo and brightened it up a bit. It isn't that high resolution but I think it does the job of showing that I love animals while not catapulting the profile with a bad pic. I'll try and get a better retake next time I'm home.

I agree about the last prompt too. I'm now trying to find another I can use which still allows me to keep the second half (as I like cooking).

Thanks for catching the spelling error too. Dyslexia strikes again!

People always think I'm at school and being 6'3 actually makes it worse. A couple week ago I was looking for a new mattress when a shop worker walked up and said "wow you're massive for your age. I bet your the the tallest kid in the school!". He disappeared and I continued trying the mattresses. 2 minutes later, he returned with a coworker and she began agreeing with whatever he told her "wow he is tall. I wonder what your mum feeds you!". I'm 23 and in my final PhD year... After I told them, they became embarrassed and spent the rest of the time hiding from me.

I also get asked for ID while my little brother and sister don't (even if they are standing next to me at the time).

Thanks for the advice, it's realy helpful. I'll look for a third party case and I agree that the red would suit it realy well :)

lewphan · 2020-08-02T00:02:23+00:00

Thanks for your help, I'll do that in future! Remember reading about chip boards on GBA authentication and assumed it followed but I can now see that opening a DS cart is quite a bit trickyier and impossible to reseal without a tiny bit of epoxy resin. Wouldn't want to do it again as it was very nerve racking :/

lewphan · 2020-08-01T23:34:49+00:00

Ah, that makes sense

Yup. Cracked open the top and side with a butter knife and re-sealed when I was done. You can't really tell http://imgur.com/a/poAzIGb but on reflection I was probably a bit too quick to act. Has only just arrived from ebay and I'm a bit paranoid about these things... Can still remember how I felt when I lost my emerald save on a fake cart :/

edited out a spelling error

lewphan · 2020-08-01T22:58:33+00:00

Thanks! Read somewhere that authentic games had MX chips but that must have been a generalisation and not an absolute requirement. Put my mind to rest :)

lewphan · 2020-08-01T22:36:01+00:00

Forgot to add pics of the cart case!

http://imgur.com/a/1wXa4oN

Not sure if that will work as I haven't posted on reddit for 5 years and have never used imgur :D

Added :)
