TOPIC: Almost Zero matches on Tinder profile photo help

Bib basically nailed it.
- My very first impression was how old is this dude? The graphic shirts are working against you b/c they emphasize your age even more (as they're intended to be for teens/young 20s basically)
- Take care of your hair asap. Some members here can give great advice on how to help with the thinning. I would recommend going really short on top with a tight fade on the sides. Maybe try out a hat but make sure it doesn't have an overbearing logo.
- Accessories can go a long ways while being simple. A bracelet or two, nice watch, ring or two. They help set you apart in a good way.
- Jeans, like Dan said, stick with slim fitting. You have a good physique. Highlight it. This goes for shirts as well. Buy slim tees that hug your arms, chest and don't billow out at the waist. Your leather jacket fits your body well. Keep that in mind as a reference. Slim is key!

You have great potential if you're willing to tweak the things not currently working. Also, don't be afraid to smile every now and then all serious all the time is no bueno, to everyone.

@Podlas, most graphic shirts give off an immature/young vibe. It comes across as your wardrobe hasn't changed since high school and this can majorly backfire on you. Especially the older you get as it gives off a try hard vibe of trying to be "young, hip, whatever". The Instagram account you linked; it works for him b/c the rest of his style/look comes off as playful, adventerous and fun (tattoos, ripped, hair on point, mustache, grooming, clothing fits his body, etc..) Vice versa, he could rock solid colors and still look great b/c he's taken care of everything else.

Fair points.

I guess when you have ALL your shit handled, then you can afford to break some rules here and there. Like crazy t-shirts or bizarre mustache.

Good tips, thanks. What I was trying to accomplish was having one "classy" outfit and one "edgy" outfit, and that seemed difficult to accomplish with a flat color shirt. That's actually the only graphic tee I own and I break it out when I go to a concert or something : p

I'm having some new pics taken next week I'm thinking going with a tank top and chain necklace, leather bracelet that I have for the edgier shot. I do look extremely good wearing a beanie been told that by dozens of women, but I don't want to appear to be hiding my hair either...

I'm thinking of getting a suit pic in for the classy one maybe. Not trying to hide my age, because I know there are plenty of 18-24 year old women who prefer to date guys my age so obviously want to appeal to them. Nonetheless I do live a relatively wild lifestyle.

On the hair, I don't know what to do really it's pretty thin up top so I can't grow it long enough to style it.

I don't display age in the profile because it's inaccurate. My facebook age is set 25 because Tinder won't match you with young women if your true age is set. (I'm 37).

On smiling, yeah I think you're right. I don't have a "fun" picture here because I _suck_ at smiling in candid shots, I look like a creepy sex offender every fucking time : p Not sure how to fix this.

I do have Tinder gold, so I can see all the women that "like" me. With any combination of these pics, I'll get about 15 per day, but they are 99% very unattractive women. No, I'm not being too selective, these are seriously fatties and uglies.

use toppik on the hair and lock it in with hairspray. I use it all the time and its completely undetectable.

have you experimented with a baldandbearded look.you will look amazing like those seal team tough guys with another 20lbs added to your frame.

edit : go for the jason statham look

Good with age at 25 and then not showing it. I do the same thing (I'm 31).

Toppik is brilliant. I use it, I have the world's worst hairline and Toppik at least covers it up.

I disagree with the bald look. Most guys look better with hair so try and fix your hair before "giving up" and going bald. Do that as a last resort.

This is my current "casual" look, always wear tank tops since I have decent arms and it's hot as fuck here (Florida) otherwise I'm very sharply dressed in business casual, but I look like I'm going to the club not the office. Have yet to figure out good pants or shorts to wear since jeans are absolutely out of the question in this heat.

How is this hairstyling, and how is the chain?

It seems like your style is oscillating between nerdy, and poor/ghetto.

We've gotta find a middle ground for you that looks classy (more important for your age group, you can't pull off the same looks that guys in their early 20's can) but simultaneously has some edge to it.

Absolutely ditch the necklace and replace it with one that is current/in-style. Steer totally clear of the GLL style guides. They are outdated at this point, and Chris would probably agree.

I think now would be a good time to do some instagram research. In basically 100% of your photos, every single item is outdated. All your clothing is about 10-20 years out of style at this point, which will hurt you BIG time. You need some slim fit jeans (probably slimmer than you will feel comfortable with at first) and some basic solid-color v-necks. Get the basics right first, that's your foundation.

Next, I would strongly recommend growing out a beard, and possible getting your ears pierced. Andy's right, hang on to your hair for dear life. You've still got plenty of it.

That's all I can think of right now, but there is a lot to address.

Oh and to address the age thing.

The problem isn't that you're old. The problem is you're an older guy and you're wearing a teenager's clothes. The whole POINT of girls dating olders guys is that they LIKE the maturity. So if you dress like a kid it destroys the very thing that girls are looking for in the first place. Lean into being a mature, established man.

^ Agree with Bad Idea Bear. You're only a few years older than me, and I'm regularly banging 18 year olds (3 of my current fuckbuddies are 18; other is 23). If I can do it, you sure as hell can. You have a MUCH better body than me, but your style/fashion is lacking. In most of your photos (especially the first one), you dress like a "dad".

Fix the fashion and your pics will look a hell of a lot better.

Why is OPs necklace not good?

What are "in-style" necklaces and where can you buy them?

In-style necklaces are rare loot, randomly dropped when you slay a hot alpha guy. So far I've killed 5 guys and have yet to get one
