I recently turned 32 a week ago and been on 2 dates so far from Coffee Meets Bagel. 31 was such an epic age for my dating life, so I have higher expectations now from my prior experiences whether good or bad. My last date at 31 was a quick lay from Tinder (TBH my first) similar to Alex’s first lay story so not exactly proud to brag about it.

Both dates have been no’s so far which is slowly killing my confidence and momentum for going for more so I need some inspiration.

The last date I went with tonight liked the conversation we had but didn’t feel sexual attraction which was weird since I thought she saw my photos but apparently she didn’t get a good enough look according to her lol.

I recently changed my look and it is different from my current dating profile pics. I now have a more full grown beard. Quite a few people like it and a lot of people thought I should grow it out. I’ve always been somewhat reluctant to do that me maybe insecure because it was something new. The dumb girl I went out with tonight thought she liked my dating profile pic before than my current look. I’ve made out and fucked with this look so I guess girls opinion are like assholes and your results may vary.

I’ve always thought my beard gives me a more Middle Eastern look which I’m actually Mexican American but either way I’m usually mistaken for Indian or something. Indian PE is a huge inspiration in this realm of dating for me as I used to think guys that looked Middle Eastern had a harder time for online dating to work.

Should I keep my current beard or grow it out more or go clean shaven? The first photo is on my dating profile across a lot of apps the other I literally just took a few hours ago so forgive me if my eyes aren’t the most enthusiastic after the date I just went on I’m not posting it, just want a beard opinion.
