Hey fella's, wanted to share my results from a tinder restart and hear what you guys are experiencing. Got a photoshoot and restarted with new pics. I live in the Bay Area, which I personally think is a difficult spot for men, as the ratio sucks, and there are plenty of young tech millionaires to compete with (not bitching, but it is what it is). First day I got ~50 likes, second day ~20 likes. Every day since, it's been a slow drip of about 1-4 likes. I would also say that the quality of women (in attractiveness) has gone down in terms of pics I'm being shown. Obviously, I don't have a top 10-20% profile, but I would like to know how far off getting into that coveted class I am. Here's a snap shot of my profile. Does being bald automatically disqualify a dude from being in that top 10%? Thanks

Idk how crucial this is because these are sort of “unique” as far as landscape, maybe it passes to wear the same outfit but I recall the blueprint mentions it to try to avoid this as to not appear posing for a shoot or having limited clothing options. Otherwise I think you rock the bald head well my friend, no homo, some chicks actually prefer it, have you considered growing some facial hair in, it does help me achieve a stronger jaw line and since I have my hair close I grew some out to have contrast. Just thoughts.

Thanks for the response brotha. I did start growing in the facial hair, but it grows in patchy. I trimmed yesterday, but lmk what you think. Open to all suggestions on increasing smv, thinking about adding tatts but Im so afraid of commitment ;)

Yea man I def think you could keep a nice jawline shadow, as a barber I’d say you have good facial hair to keep at a short stubble, many women love that dibble look, sometimes I throw a hat on and with my temples bald and the stubble there and the hat above it’s a nice contrast. As far as tats go, I say do it bro, you live one life, it would increase your SMV, I would suggest on your outer arm where you bicep and tricep meet, you since you wear well fitting shirts have it dip Galway below the shirt sleeve, you can always wear long sleeve shirt or skin tone make up if you need/want to have it discreet or hidden
I'm getting around 3-5 likes everyday so not that far from your stats but I only have 3 pictures. One upper body picture with dominant body language, one selfie with kinda sexy body language, and one picture of me in the mountains on a hiking trip. Even though selfies get a lot of shit I think having one selfie in your profile is actually better than having none because if all your pictures are professional as fuck that can seem kinda tryhard.
Your pictures look good except for the third one, I would remove that because your body langauge is defensive there. Also if you're over 30 I don't think being bald disqualifes you from being in the top 10%, just think about Jason Statham for example.

Thanks for the response. Not sure jason statham is a fair comparison because he's hella famous. Sort of like saying "being fat doesn't matter, Jonah Hill gets laid"

You still got ways to go man. I think the only way you'd be able to get into that exclusive category is if you put on a good amount of muscle and grew out a bit of facial hair and then got really solid pics

Fair enough. Would you actually say if you thought that it wasn't really possible? Also, when you say 'get solid pics', I'm not sure what that means. To me, these pics are actually pretty good. I look how I look so putting on more muscle, getting more attractive, sure, but based on where I'm currently at, are you saying I could do better than these pics? If so, what specifically are you seeing that's not optimal?
