I am trying to improve my profile and took a bunch of pictures and enhanced them using Remini. I would appreciate insight into how to improve the photos if and when I retake them.
The last 4 pictures are my current pictures which get almost no success outside of Okcupid which gets some attention, but have not been able to close successfully yet. (Mainly tried Tinder, a bit of Bumble and Okcupid)
I am planning to add in a picture of me doing martial arts soon and update it as I continue to get into better shape.
I would love some input also on the bio and if you should put your interests. Unfortunately, I am having trouble creating a congruent bio even after watching and reading the videos and articles you have on the subject.
I am aware I have a hard time keeping my eyes open a ton which also impact the photos

Hey man. Yeah . Your photos definitely need a lotta work. I think the main issue you have way too much of the "nice guy" look. You would significantly benefit from growing out a bit of facial hair, replacing glasses with contacts, getting a trendy haircut, getting better fashion, losing a bit of weight, and putting on 20-30 lbs of muscle. I would heavily focus on that because it will make a night and day difference in terms of the results you'd get.

@avilench . appreciate your direct insight. I have been trying to align my diet more with the diet for endomorphs. I reread through your section on dieting. I am curious why you do not recommend beans at all in a diet. I am thinking to more focus on Macros, so how does that fit in with beans as part of your diet. Trying again to address the glasses, problem, hopefully, my eyes can adjust to contacts. How do I more get rid of that nice guy look though, is it all the other stuff you listed that gives off that persona, or is it something else.
Separately, can you give some advice on being more creative with openers and my bio, read your articles and watch the videos, on the subject and I find that I struggle to be original, overall?
I know that the photos are not great, but would they hurt my profile more than it is based on the couple pictures that are already there or is one or two of them ok as a stopgap so I have a few more pictures.
I know there was a bunch of questions, appreciate the insight though to improve myself.
You've got problems you should address first beside the photos being bad(and they are bad especially the 3rd and 8th)

I know the pictures are not the best Jon. Just saying they have problems though does not help me improve the profile though. Could you be more specific on what to improve though.
Ok sorry if I'm going to sound harsh but I come with good intentions.
First thing first and I'm pretty sure you're aware of it, you need to lose weight that should be your main focus to be more specific you need to slim down your face but it's obviously not possible to lose weight in specific areas so just lose weight in general. You also don't need a gym for that, sure a gym help but it can be done without it.
2nd change hairstyle, the one you got is just not attractive at all and emphasizing some bad features
3rd get better clothes and better style,
This might not be necessary if you lose weight but for now those outfits don't sit right on you.
Maybe there are other things need to be done but do those 3 first.
Other things like locations and photo angles wouldn't matter before you do the above things.

Question instead of trying to get good photos what are you doing to increase your SMV?

Martial arts, trying to do 2x a week. Eating a lot healthier, eliminating most starch from my diet, excepting some special situations where I am limiting it for recovery after working out and. I want to find a gym but with my work hours it is going to be kind of hard.

Dude you need to hire a personal trainer and get him to put your ass to work.
If you want to succeed you need a massive over haul.
That doesn’t come with changing photo angles.
