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.

The walking pictures look natural! They work.
In terms of online dating, I would think of it like this, if a camera wasn’t on you... is it something you would naturally be doing?
That’s why the walking ones work. The ones touching your watch just seem unnatural to do.
I think one posed photo is fine to get away with but don’t post more than that.

Thanks for the clarification man, I think I'm starting to get what you mean. What about ones where you're just standing there looking straight ahead? That's something a lot of people do naturally, but whenever Alex reviews photos he always says ones like that look too posed.
