Number 4 is ok. Don't do duck faces anymore like in 1 (and stay away from selfies in general).

Thanks. I just realized in 8 that his elbow isn't actually resting on the barricade which makes it look extra unnatural, haha. Got it.

Also, if anyone is in the SF bay area and needs pictures, feel free to DM me.

Yeah, the green screen/photoshopped ones look very unnatural. I would not use them.

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.

My $0.02: your face is way overexposed in the first picture. Need to pull back the highlights. Also the expression is kind of sad with slouchy posture to where it looks like your belly is protruding.

This community is generally against posed pictures like the second one.

Is this something to be wary of for all of the Big 3? I deleted my Bumble account in hopes of restarting with slightly different pictures and a different bio.
