Lowkey for all this talk about using apps

Why do we not have a thread with tips on profile pics? I think for what it's worth this is the weakness most guys have. Women take pics all the time. We dont have a library of photos to just pull from and even less that makes us look good lol

It gets mentioned, posters cycle out of the thread, conversation turn, it resurfaces months later.

Solid idea imo

I realized I keep getting the EXACT same kinda chics that I’m not as attracted to but I also dont have any good pics/I genuinely dont know HOW to take good pics.

brehs have sprinkled tips in passing (take photos with a professional camera, photos of you standing > sitting down, smile, select posing)

my main photo is me shirtless on top of a mountain I hiked on with a smile. The matches I get don’t even read my bio, age, or measurables because of it — just swiped based on how I looked

Those who do send a message first ask me what mountain was it, and then that sparks a conversation on fitness and outdoors

I thought it was pretty well established that app use is a poor return on investment. :flabbynsick:

That said, learning to take good selfies and good photos has become an invisible but necessary life skill that extends well past mere dating.

for me, it was learning my body type and what angles work for me. I avoid selfies and just take photos of me out and about (one at a wedding, one Downtown, and one at a picnic)

You made a good point about attracting the certain kind of women you like. I take a lot of business professional photos due to work and realized not many women (at least for me) responded well to them or cared for them.

Meh
Go into hinge and really peep the pics on a lot of their profiles. They be doing the same shyt men do, it’s just that men have lower standards and arent as picky

Example: A woman can take a pic in a mirror. If she looks decent enough, a man will like. Taking a pic in the mirror is pretty much an automatic X for most women lol

I might even record a video of the first 5 profiles i see

Honestly as a man who majorly cold approaches/ approaches i think that using apps isnt a bad investment. You get the same treatment approaching a girl in person that you get meeting on an app. Just as likely to get ghosted and have your time wasted because their attn spread thin. And I am against apps

The ONLY thing ill say is that most women using apps have issues or arent attractive. And the attractive ones who use apps are even worse lol - attention whores or unnecessarily high standards.

The best Looking women dont need apps to find dudes unless they live in smaller towns

TLDR - talking to a woman in anyway generally is basically automatically a bad investment. The odds are always like 5-10% of it going anywhere at best

Its usually a product issue or marketing issue. This falls under marketing issue which most dudes dont value. They dont look at themselves as a brand and dont know how to market themselves. I am shocked how much I still see dark bad lit photos on IG pages sometimes. Or brehs taking photos that most dont care about. You have to know how and why your target audience would respond to something. Women look at stuff in a way that benefits THEM. How you can be a utility to THEM. lol..

You would be surprised how many photos a girl took before she selected one to send to you or upload. It can be the stupidest reason why they dont like a pic, as small as you missing my full shoe or something like that. Next time you get a pic ask how many times she took that picture or see her camera roll:lolbron:.. Most brehs are not putting that type of effort but there are some simple things brehs can do to up their game. Take photo on highest quality device they have available (if you can take pro shots, do it, dont feel dumb or whatever), Lighting matters, aesthetics (surroundings) matter, have editor (women) edit and choose, etc.

I'll take your word for it, but that's not what I've seen from the online warriors at all.

Well yeah. We been known we gotta go above and beyond while they can post mirror shots with titties out. It's all tailored to them. saw one of your posts say you have professional photos on there now and it be working so what you mean? :russ:

Next broad you bag, have her go through her dating app and her matches.

Take a good look at your competition, but also who she thinks looks good.

Lots of guys have bad photo game BUT there are a ton of guys, especially younger cats, that have grown up on line and go all out when it comes to taking selfies, action shots, photos, etc. And the volume of dudes trying to get in these chicks - even if it's only 20% of guys with good photos - that's like 200 people in her feed of a 1,000.

They got props, exotic locales, etc.

Then they back it up with video and a great online presence.

If cats is serious about "dating apps" - it's way more than half an hour of trying to find natural light and good framing of the face.

I can only speak on what I've seen from the sidelines.

And photos is just the 1st part of it, she's still gotta meet up with you, vibe right, and then you gotta kick your lyrics to her face to face.

Lol i agree
I’m specifically talking about your comment that women take more pics as if it means they have better profiles. Fam, these women be doing dumb shyt like posting pics of roses, sunsets and food



Look at this lol. We got:
- selfies from the neck up
- mirror pics covering faces
- a pic of fish
- pics of martinis lol
- pics with ppls backs turned
- and just ugly/low quality pics all around
- garbage filters

Etc etc
