I've been using the Big 3 for about a year and have only banged 8 women from them during that time which is pretty pitiful. Recently I've been in some sort of Hinge purgatory where most of the women I see are not attractive at all. I already deleted my Bumble account and would like to delete the other two and start over. Before I do, I would like your input on the photos I have. I've been using a mix of the ones here except for the ones in the plaid shirts I took recently.
I'm also struggling with getting non-posed images. Most of the photos you see here are me setting up my camera with a timer on a tripod. It's hard for me to look "natural" in those. Any other critiques would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also thinking about nixing the shirtless photo because the quality is poor. I might try to substitute a higher quality picture of me working out instead.

4, 5, 7, and 10 are your best photos. I would use those. Your 2nd photo is also technically good but way too blurry.
the motorcycle shot where you're riding is a really good DHV. I think you can do much better at the dog pic. Try and get you to playing together candid versus you holding him. An outdoor workout or beach photo would work really well with your physique. Agree with you about getting a workout pic, just pack a tight tank top if you can't do one shirtless
I think the key is trying to get shots where you are doing something, even if you are taking them on your own. Just try a bunch of walking shots. If you are going to go with a flannel look (which isn't my style but definitely has a audience) then I would suggest you get a candid wood chopping pic that you set up with a tri pod or maybe some other outdoor camping type activity if that is what you're into.
I am not sure what you are doing but being online for a year with your body type and only get 8 lays means something is wrong on the text side or maybe the date side or some other gap. What is your average number of likes per day / week?
I think you may want to grab a grilling, cooking or pouring wine shot as well just don't look directly into the camera and smile like you did with the beer pouring pic. You should be able to get much better results man, keep at it.

Yeah, I re-watched Alex's videos on photos and the phrase that stuck out to me was "staged activities". I need to do a better job at that. I have a few ideas with dogs, guitar, and motorcycles, but the challenge will be pulling them off with my tripod/camera/remote setup.
Average number of likes per week on Hinge is probably 2-3. Average number of matches per week between Hinge and Tinder recently is probably 4-6. A good amount of those matches don't reply at all.
There is probably a gap in my texting. I'm pretty good on dates. My close rate for online dating this past year was 73%. It's closer to 50% for everything in the past 5 or so years.
Too posed and staged. You need to look more natural and in habitat

Your SMV potential could possibly be a 8 or 9, unfortunately your photos largely suck. Too posed, not dominant, low quality pics. I think you look the best in the weird hat picture but it's too posed. Try to recreate that same sexiness but in a candid way

1 and 4 would be my picks. Others are posed. The shirtless is a bit too blurry for sure
