Rate My New Photos!
Wanting to quickly get your thoughts on my new photos since I joined the forums and took Alex’s advice.
I’m still only getting around 2 likes per day on tinder, maybe 3-4 on bumble, and of my eight free likes on Hinge, I’ll usually match with one on average. This is a bit of a downer for me as most of these pics are from jharderphoto, the photographer that Alex recommends out in St. Pete, Florida.
I'm currently swiping in Vancouver Canada, and I thought I’d be getting better results than with my original shitty photos but there’s not much of an improvement at all.
I’m not sure which 6 of these photos to use, if any at this point. I’m currently using a mix of these photos on the different apps (bumble auto-removes shirtless pics for example so I replace it with another one).
I realize there's a bit of a lack of activity photos, but I honestly don't know what could be the issue otherwise. I'm verified on Bumble but not Tinder, could this explain why I'm getting more likes on Bumble?
If you have any ideas please let me know. Thanks a bunch.

I like them until you get to the shirtless selfie. That one and anything after I dont like.
I mean no offense with this, but are you cross eyed? Because you look crosse eyed in that shirtless pic. Even if you are, Id try to capture a pic that doesn't show that. If you retake it and 1) get rid of the cross eyed thing, and 2) just have a better shirtless pic overall, I think that'd be a good start. That particular pose is just a bit off
First 4 pics imo are your best. The other poster makes a good point regarding pics showing off your personality, but quality wise I do prefer the first 4
Thanks for the response! That particular picture is actually AI generated which probably fucked up the eyes and made the pose look a little gay, although I totally overlooked that until you pointed it out. All the other pics are legit. Anything in particular that you didn't like about pic 7? The other poster seemed to think it was one of the better shots.
That explains it. Which AI app did you use?
Pic 7 is not bad, but it seems superfluous given the other outdoor "bar/restaurant" pics. Like you've already covered that angle in those other pics, and imo the other pics do it better since the backdrop is more interesting in those pics. I like to try to capture different themes in each pic, do you have any others that might do this? Picture with a friends dog etc?

I think the lack of activity photos is the main reason why. Girls don't get too much of a taste of your hobbies outside of work and just think you're a workaholic (assuming you used 6). Pics 2, 4, and 7 are the best ones you can keep and get 2 or 3 more of you engaging in a high value hobby (sports, music, social events like BBQ, etc).
1-Not a fan of the hands in the pockets, makes you look less dominant
3-Inner shirt is showing
5-Decent physique, you look fairly ripped by I'd shave the chest hair
6-Kinda just emphasizes the lack of hobbies perceived by girls here. Having this photo while lacking activity pics implies that you just work 24/7.

Hmm. Put 4 as main and then 1,2,3 in that order, 7. I'd just get a better shirtless selfie tbh. The expression isn't great

First 2 are over edited. 1 almost looks like a video game, 2 looks like AI. Both basically look like paintings
You need more "life" in your photos instead of just walking/standing around and chilling while sitting down. Playing with a dog, doing hobbies, traveling to cool places etc.
