At the peak, my best tinder profile had something like 400 matches. Since getting out of an LTR w/ fresh profile and same photos, I was lucky to cross double digits.

Earlier this year I figured it was time for a new stack, so I got all new pics rated between 8.0 and 9.8 on photofeeler. So far, same problem. I have done a number of hard resets over the years, so maybe that could be part of the problem? I’ve included the current profile here for review

Thanks.

Yea me and The chosen one just talked about how it feels like dating apps became 10x harder in the past 2 or so years

Good photos but you need more "life" in ur pics instead of just walking around or chilling in most of them. Dog pic, traveling to a cool place, beach/pool pic, playing guitar etc

Agreed. Want to keep it at 6 total, so I’m wondering which one you’d say should get swapped out

Pretty decent photos giving me jharder vibes but you gotta balance it with your old photos assuming they are good to make it more natural, your profile looks too professional

First photo is the worst imo. It’s not a good looking smirk. It just looks kinda awkward, like you’re smiling with your mouth closed. Third photo could be improved. You’re just standing there, I think it would look better if you were doing a bicep curl. I’ve noticed in most of these photos you’re glancing to the right or left. I think the 4th and 5th photo are good

Can't really comment on the pics except they look decent, just a little posed.

But I'm in the same boat as you. Never changed my pics or profile and I used to kill it with Tinder and Bumble, but they both have been dead as hell the last 6 months, especially Bumble. Never done a profile reset or anything like that. I've started focusing on Hinge only and have been getting much better results.

I haven't been on the apps since 2019. I remember when signing up for Hinge I got 10 matches overnight, and 70 matches within 24 hours. The most I ever had was 700-800, but it plateaued pretty quickly and I never really found out why. My guess is I was just one of the early adopters of the new Hinge so muuuuch less competition. My profile is much better nowadays and even though I match with higher quality girls overall, its much much less matches nowadays. I may be more picky too, but still - dating landscape has def changed.

Not a fan of 3 and 5. In 3, the expression needs to be fixed. And the shirtless pic isn't great. I'd just remove it. Remove the smirk from number 2. but in all honesty, your baby face is drastically hurting your results. Can you grow a beard?

Can’t have a beard because of my job. I’ve made those tweaks replaced some of the pics which I can send if u have the time.
Also curious to see what your opinion is of photofeeler. All the pics Justin took scored at least a 9.0 in the attractive category which didn’t seem to translate over to the apps.

9.0 is unfortunately not that high in my experience for non activity pics. I found with 9.5+ and shirtless pics you're better off asking girls you know for which is best
