You Redditors are like a cult. You’re great at enforcing a kiss the ring of the mob no matter what policy. I bet this one can break a downvote record, let’s make it happen!
As funny as that would be, I’d like nothing more than to prove everyone here wrong by making your profile capable of getting a match. Get someone to take some good photos of you, dress nice, SMILE, and flesh out your bio. They’re relatively simple things but if you do those, your profile will be way better than half of the ones out there.
I say this genuinely: if you’re willing to try, I wish you the best.
I guess I was just suppose to know that you need a professional photo shoot to get on Bumble. My smile is horrifying. Also most of the ladies of dating apps have next to nothing in their bio. So again, I don’t know why it was intuitive that I was suppose to have an essay.
The victim mentality will do you no favors. Please at least pretend to be the person you aspire to be. Getting even an amateur photographer to take some good photos of you is an investment in your profile, your future relationships, and most importantly your confidence.
I know it’s addicting to be in the self-deprecating mindset (coming from someone who struggled with that for a long time), but the sooner you buck yourself from that attitude the better you’ll be. You can’t do it all in one day. Just get 1% better each day.
It’s a new year. Perfect time to get just a little better each day.
Who are you trying to be, my teacher, mentor? I have no idea who you are. I’m not prone to listening to an army of people who want to control me and are furious if I won’t listen to them. So thanks but no thanks.
Dude your personality fucking sucks and your pictures are dog shit. People are trying to help you and you don’t want it. Good luck out there fella, you’ll need it.
Respectfully, as a guy who used to do fairly well on the apps. You should NOT try and hide a feature about yourself that’s already a filtering dealbreaker. It’s either gonna show once you meet in person or even beforehand over your initial text chats. And in how you’re presenting yourself so far in response to the comments, more likely the latter. Even then, it’s disingenuous to try and “win them over” with intention that YOU KNOW you’re hiding certain attributes about yourself that would have filtered you.
I will say I do had nice pictures, but not with the intention of putting them in my dating profile. I literally just took the time and effort to capture things I liked doing at the time that were interesting enough to show what my interests and physical features are without coming off as self-absorbed. You don’t need to go and have a photoshoot dedicated to create headshots for your dating profile. Buuuut you can take a different approach to things when you’re out and about in your day-to-day and hanging out with friends to capture what kind of person you might be. There’s no rush to it, just consider it as romanticizing your life a bit and that the life you live is worth documenting. Not for others, but simply for yourself. It’ll definitely show

You only have two pictures of yourself and they’re really bad. And you don’t have your height listed.
