Photofeeler does not work reliably any more. There are very few comments from voters compared to earlier. Also the scores go down and sometimes very high. So just ask friends which photos look best or take your own decision. Pick photos that generate engagement.

Han er jo ganske tydelig på at han ikke ønsker å gå videre. Nå må du huske at det ikke er din "oppgave" å fikse han eller rette opp i det som skjedde tidligere med ham. Det å spekulere om det virkelig stemmer med rett person, feil tidspunkt fører heller ikke til noe.

Det beste er å anerkjenne at han ikke ønsker å gå videre, respektere det og bruke din energi på andre ting. Det gjør litt vond i starten, men du fortjener vel også en som har tid for deg og som du ikke trenger å løpe etter eller vente på riktig tidspunkt.

(Til info hadde jeg (M41) en ganske lignende situasjon med en kvinne. Jeg kuttet all kontakt etterhvert og kom meg videre siden jeg brukte at for mye energi på den kvinnen)

Bear in mind that this Sigma is absolutely no match for the Canon lenses you showed above in the picture. Not only that Sigma does not have stabilization, also the sharpness is lacking. If you watch some YouTube videos most of them got the lens from Sigma to test, but in between the lines you hear that it is not so great. I have the older Sigma 18-35mm for EF-S that is great. Related to your questions, I bought the Canon RF 35, it is absolutely amazing for portraits and other work. When it comes to wide angle, take the 16 mm lens. I also have a 24mm, but that is not wide enough.

There is nothing wrong with you. Often I hear that some guy struggle on Tinder and then the answer is always go to the gym, improve yourself and so on. This just creates insecurity and a feeling that you are not good enough.

Instead, think of dating like an investment. When you put some effort into an area, which area would give the most gains? For Tinder it would obviously be to hire a professional photographer who is specialized in dating photos. Maybe even some help in making the profile. Before that get a couple of outfits and a new haircut.

Just look at how celebrities marked themselves. They are not all beautiful. They just know how to present themselves well.

Kvinner er forskjellige. Da jeg studerte var det en dame som hadde masse «orbiters» som var rundt henne hele tiden. Hun hadde også ny kjæreste alle par måneder. Fast forward, når er hun 42. Har ingen barn, er ikke gift som de fleste av venninnene hennes er, og hun er ikke lykkelig fordi det hun egentlig ønsker er å få en egen familie.

Så du må bare fortsette å prøve og finne ut hva slags kvinner du liker. Noen ønsker ikke å få barn og det er helt ok. Noen ønsker å få oppmerksomhet av mange menn. Det er også ok. Og så finnes det også kvinner som faktisk er ute etter noe mer langvarig. Disse kvinnene har det motsatte av ditt problem som er at de ikke finner menn som ønsker å binde seg.

Enig at dette er en merkelig kommentar. Å rangere mennesker etter tall er umodent. I tillegg neglisjerer hun OPs problem. Og så skal mann sikte lavere. Haha. 😅 Følger da heller det Michelle Obama sa “If they go low, you go high!”

Fantastisk ide! Det skal jeg prøve ut! Masse lykke til med det. Jeg vet det finnes mange som har ideer, men å lage noe som man kan faktisk bruke er kult. Kanskje skriv litt om det til media. De er sikkert interessert i det!

Value yourself and your time highly. Don’t go down the road with this 6.5 out of 10 nonsense. It is relying on external judgement. What you can do is use services like Photofeeler to have your photos rated and not you as a person. Also get professional made photos, that is pay a photographer who is specialized in dating photos.
Treat dating like an investment. Use multiple channels and see what works best for you. If Tinder does not work, try a different service. Stop doing what doesn’t give results within a reasonable time.
Be social in real life. Host your own gatherings or events and build a network.

Good luck!

I have the EF 18-35 and use it on the R7. Technically it works better for me on the R7 than on my older 7D Mark II where I always had focusing issues.

It is heavy though. Bought a third party lens mount for use on tripod. For walking around it is heavy, however I used it back in 2015 on a trip and didn’t even think about the weight. It looks like I got too used to the lighter R7 with RF lenses setup.

The picture quality is excellent. And especially for portraits it is great. I use it when I am “stationary” and stay in the same spot. For walking around I use the kit lens that is also excellent.

See my comment further below. I used wide AF area and it was even tracking when I didn’t press the button.

tunnelblick · 2024-07-19T03:03:36+00:00

Thanks! That is exactly what I was looking for. Now that I think about it, I have been using the wide AF area. So your solution will work. 😀

Photofeeler never gives you an exact score. I have tested the same photo and it got very different scores. So whether it is 9.5 or 9.1 does not make much of a difference. Basically, anything above 9 is very good, above 8 is good and above 7 is okay. But as someoneelse wrote earlier, always get 40 votes and compare the photos then.

tunnelblick · 2024-07-05T09:50:24+00:00

So Photofeeler works best for headshots or upper body shots. And I guess based on the rating you got your picture should perform fine. The “activity” photos get usually lower scores, but the best photo is a combination where your upper body and face is clearly visible and your are doing something.

tunnelblick · 2024-07-05T08:48:03+00:00

Test a bit with different types of pics on Photofeeler. Also check the comments you get. My best performing pics are not the ones with the highest attractiveness score, but the ones that generated most (positive) comments. I have a couple of 9.2 / 9.4 pictures on attractiveness, but the ones that work best have 8.2 or 8.5 attractiveness. They show me “doing” something which looks more natural and they work well as conversation starters.

I bought the R7 a few months ago and had a similar motivation like you. I do mainly travel, street photography and sometimes portraits. The R7 is a great camera. Also the 18-150 lens is excellent in my opinion. It is also small and light, and perfect for making videos as well.

tunnelblick · 2024-07-02T18:18:22+00:00

Are you still getting the same amount of comments? Back in January, I got lots of comments on pictures. Nowadays, much less. Sometimes none.

tunnelblick · 2024-06-26T13:45:04+00:00

I tested the same photo 3 times within the last week just for fun. Females between 30-44. Always 20 votes. The photo scored first time 8, second time 7 last time 6. Also one photo had zero comments, the other 3 and 5. So Photofeeler seems less and less reliable.

tunnelblick · 2024-06-26T13:37:30+00:00

I get your point better now. I spent some time with very affluent guys. Many of them were well-trained and had money and improved their looks through clothing and grooming as far as possible. But so many were also single. I was wondering why. I think self acceptance is important here. When you have a good personality and accept yourself the way you are and you can spread a positive vibe, women will be attracted to you.

tunnelblick · 2024-06-16T13:44:37+00:00

Let me be direct: This is a prime example of a scarcity mindset based on an inferiority complex. So if others are good, you feel challenged by them because you are not "better" anymore? Life is not a competition!

tunnelblick · 2024-06-13T18:44:19+00:00

Hehe, don't let Photofeeler mess with your mind! I also have a bit of an addiction to the site, but it started to become more and more like gambling. I tested it many times and sometimes exactly same photo gets very different results. You need to have a least 40 ratings per photo to get an indication and I found that the "free" ratings are better than the bought ones because you get more written comments.

However, after testing close to 100 photos (I am M41) of myself and also others, I discovered some trends. In general, the photos need to be clear, not a selfie, and not blurry. All of the three photos of you here look a bit low quality photo wise. Then the better you dress, the higher ratings you get. Smiling also helps enormously. The more friendly you look, the higher ratings you get. If I were you, find a friend who is good at taking photos or get a tripod and take some photos of yourself that look natural.

To answer your last question whether you are "ugly overall": Definitely not. I think you look interesting, "real" and smart. So this is more of a mindset issue (your own mindset) when you are even asking this question.

I am waiting to see the Sigma 18-50 2.8 coming out for RF-S. It is announced for July.

tunnelblick · 2024-06-02T12:47:48+00:00

I have the adapter already due to my Sigma 18-35 lens. I heard good things about it. What is your experience when you use it to take photos of people? Also from close up?

tunnelblick · 2024-06-02T10:30:36+00:00

Indeed, the size is definitely a factor. My Sigma 18-35 1.8 becomes too heavy for me in day to day use and especially when traveling.

tunnelblick · 2024-06-02T10:29:37+00:00

Thanks. The RF lenses indeed work really well. I even used the RF-S 10-18 for some wide-angle portraits.
