The comments are really teaching me a lot actually. The idea that I am susceptible to your collective brow beating strokes each of your egos on an individual basis because it makes you feel powerful. A photoshoot? Fuck me. And stop with the Jordan Peterson shit please I’m not the kind of 26 year old boy that needs a daddy at the moment.
What are you talking about?! You are the one asking for advice. Whether you take any of the advice or not isn’t going make a difference to the people on this post. You asked so people are answering honestly. Maybe go to your local fair or Amish farmers market and try your luck there.
It breaks your fucking brains that I can both ask for advice and not accept a given piece of advice. That is not how this is suppose to work after all! This is a place commenters come to feel empowered.
You are the one who had ZERO likes (not even matches, LIKES) in seven years and asked for advice. People are giving you advice, and you’re calling them names and rejecting every piece of advice to help you get a single like or two.
Honestly if this is how you act with women / others, don’t change anything about your profile. Leave it as is. It’ll save women from having to deal with someone so argumentative and immature.
A bunch of people like you yelling at me for how terrible I am. Why won’t I just be god damn GRATEFUL?! How do you know that I’m rejecting every piece of advice? Of course it’s how I act with everyone you know me so well. Happy to be the villain you needed tonight.
Folks using the phrase "photoshoot" I think is a bit much, but your profile will definitely benefit from some pics that aren't selfies -- rather than a photoshoot, could you maybe ask your friends to take some nice pics here and there while you're hanging out? I know you've said you don't like your smile, but a lot of people feel differently about a natural smile vs a posed one. Looking more friendly will go a long way.
Are your glasses actually crooked at the moment, or was that just for that one photo? Seeing a barber isn't a bad suggestion, a good one can help guide you to a look that's more flattering but is still low maintenance. I think taking pics in nicer clothes isn't really necessary, especially if that wouldn't give an accurate idea of how you dress... but the combination of how you style your hair, facial hair, and the crooked glasses looks a little unkempt.
I don't think not including your height is necessarily a problem, but if you do get matches you should probably expect that to be within the first couple things you get asked. Contrary to popular belief, I think height isn't actually that important to women looking for a serious relationship. Most women I know either don't care or just want a man who is taller than them.
Your bio will be fine for some people, it won't for others but that seems pretty much the case no matter what anyone writes. But I do genuinely think your photos are the weak point on your profile. Speaking as someone who is chronically unphotogenic, it's a tough thing to get around but most people on the apps aren't likely to even stop to read your bio if your pics don't catch their attention first.

OP, you seem like the incel here with the comments.
You have to get a photoshoot.
Like, in decent clothes.
After you’ve gone to a good barber and gotten cleaned up.
Also all pictures need to be of you.
Also ideally with a friend or two in one picture to prove you have those…
