TOPIC: Rate my photos

Hey,

Long time no see. I wanna get back in the game, mostly to get over my oneitis... the isolation has been too long and it's fucking with my head, I need to start getting laid again.

Thing is, I started growing out my hair and I'm going through the "awkward phase". First, please don't tell me to cut it, I decided I'll let it grow out long until I get bald, I just need to do it once and if it looks like shit I'll shave it off anyway, just a month or two until I can tie it in a man bun, so it might look better since then.

I took some photos recently, in half of them I didn't have washed hair, so they might look shit (but maybe you won't recognize it, so I attach them anyway). I washed it afterwards for two more pics.

I was originally intending to use one of these for my dating pic, but I also posted it on FB/IG and it got pretty much no attention, so I'm wondering if it looks bad and I just don't see it. I think those photos are very decent. So maybe people were just pissed off by my recent schizo Stories and unfollowed me or something heh.

To be clear, I would only use one of these and then add some other unrelated photos, obviously.
And, of course I'm also wondering if you think my style is completely shit, because I wanted to start cold approaching too. Haven't done it for 3 years, back then I still had an undercut and I looked good. It will be new territory for me.

Thanks

I'd pick one between first and second, the pose and the scarf in third make you look kind of effeminate, fourth I'd say looks staged, the smile in fifth looks fake.

I'd pick the first one because it's the best one out of the bunch, however I remember you from before this site went to shit and you looked 10x better with shorter hair.

It’s funny I’d look through old logs and see you posting. Ah nostalgic. You still have that yellow fever? Agree with Jake 3 and 4 not great 5 is just ok

Hey bros, thanks both for the replies
I agree I looked "better", at least conventionally, with short hair. But the thing is, I am so fucking bored of having the same hairstyle my entire life. And I had some hints of balding or at least thinning, so I thought I would grow it long once in my life, having the proper opportunity now during this fucking shit show. My goal is at least tie a proper bun, which should be around shoulder length, let's say 2 or 3 more months.
I actually dig the look, and I get girls looking at me too, I would say it's less "looks worse" and more "different market segment". Some chicks dig long hair, actually I'm a guitarist and I like metal, so if I could attract more rock chicks it wouldn't be a bad thing - they definitely don't like my previous groomed undercut.

I picked the first photo for my social media profile pic even before I made the thread, so I'm glad we more or less agree didn't think the other photos were bad tho, so I'm glad to get another perspective

Regarding my yellow fever I wouldn't say I'm completely over Asian chicks but it's definitely no fever anymore. More like, I would fuck a nice Japanese girl, but I don't seek them out. I've been thinking a lot during the pandemic and I'd like to start fucking my own girls, actually they're more exotic for me than Asian chicks lol. Had some bad experience lately but it's just bad luck... I remember when I had thousands of matches on Tinder and I never went out with any of those white chicks, because I was only interested in Asians, and specifically only Japanese/Korean, so it was very tight, I could have had some nice numbers already if I wasn't so picky. Let's see if I can get it going again and maybe I'll start posting reports again... I'll have to rename my sex log tho haha

Btw Jake, I remember correctly you were also trying to get some Asians? I hope yellow pussy is treating you well

Yeah man, I feel you. People always tell me I look best with a certain hair style but I always change it because I just get bored of looking the same every single day.

"Some chicks dig long hair, actually I'm a guitarist and I like metal, so if I could attract more rock chicks it wouldn't be a bad thing - they definitely don't like my previous groomed undercut."
This makes sense. I've seen super hot metal girls with ugly ass metal guys, and it's something that I've noticed quite a bit: when within a subculture it seems like looks are far from being the most important factor in a relationship, this happens with metal girls, otaku girls, video game girls, etc. You're an attractive guy so even if looks don't matter all that much (I'm not part of any subculture group so I'm just speculating about this) you'd still have an advantage over the average fatso.
Also, I think that as long as you know you look universally better with your previous haircut, then it's all good.

"And I had some hints of balding or at least thinning"
I would suggest you get on minoxidil man, fight for your hair!

nice shots

Thanks man exactly all my thoughts.
I am on Minoxidil, I've been using it for ~5 years mostly for beard, started on hair about a few months ago. I don't think it works honestly. Or maybe it's just that I'm not consistent... I use it like once a day, but sometimes I stop for a week or so (after a few months) whenever I get into some shitty depression. Maybe it's because of that. But anyway, I keep using it, it's not expensive.
Btw, do we have some up to date style guide (fashion)? I gotta update my wardrobe... I know I could google some guide but wondering if there's something popular for the community, GLL edgy style always did me good

I'd say that the most up to date fashion advice can be found on instagram in the form of style influencers, some I follow are: @adamgonon, @magno_scavo, @huntervought.

It depends on what kind of style you're looking for, but find a guy whose style you like and follow him, instagram will instantly suggest more accounts and will start showing you similar content on your feed.

I actually have a "fake" instagram account that I use solely to follow fashion influencers.

Thanks a lot man, I'll check them out wish me luck this summer, I hope I finally get back in the game... been too fucking long...
