Hi Alex and friends. I'm trying to get back into online dating after putting a lot of effort into pictures and the gym. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me pick out a few pictures to use for the major apps. Sorry that there are so many pics, I can try to narrow it down if this is too many. Also if there's a particular concept/background that looks promising, but my facial expression is off, I can show you more as I take many pics in each spot as recommended. I know I'm still a bit skinny and I'm continuing to work on it. I put on 15 lbs over the last year while lifting hard, will try to put on another 15 in the next 9 months. Can't do anything about growing a beard unfortunately unless I get on Rogaine.

9, 15, 17 & 18 would be my picks.
Advice: less downward angles, focus on looking more natural, and more variety. I imagine you're going with your best angle, but you have to change it up for some of them, my guy

Thanks for your advice. Yeah I've found that my best angle is with my left side profile slightly showing, are you saying I should have some that are like straight-on? In terms of looking more natural, are there things you'd recommend to do it? In a lot of these I took them while walking around and not looking at the camera so that was my attempt at looking natural.

To expand both on Stuart’s and my comment on being natural.
For instance, there’s a few of the “touching watch” pose. That’s doesn’t seem natural. Also, you didn’t pull it off that well, looks more like you’re caught off guard touching your wrist.
There’s a few where you’re holding a glass of wine. Those look awkward/unnatural. Especially 14 where you looked zoned out. To be very nit picky, the way you’re holding the wine glass with your hand seems awkward/improper (but I’m not a wine expert so what the hell do I know on that specifically)
