Man that 4th pic of you reading in bed is so good. It could be a stock photo for “hot guy reading a book”
Overall profile looks good but I think too put together. A bit staged, like a bit too clean.
Thanks a lot man! And yes, I agree that it does look a bit too clean with no low-quality social pics.

Your photos are fucking great man ! You just lack a group picture, but your profile looks rock solid otherwise.
You already know what your problem is : your location.
That's the bottleneck of your success on Tinder, nothing will help you as much as moving to a truly big city (at least 500K pops).
I have never been to Norway, but I think it's similar to Switzerland : rich country + low density population = garbage-tier dating market.
I lived all my life in the Alps (a region with small cities of 20K to 35K pops) and I never got laid on Tinder there, even after getting into self-improvement and with Andy's coaching. All my Tinder lays are from abroad.
Yeah, I imagine it's basically the same. I've gotten laid 3 times off Tinder where I currently live, with a population of around 35k. But overall the action I'm getting from apps have been slowly dying down over the last couple of months.
Now, I currently live in Poland, in a city of nearly 800K pops. I can use the exact same profile I used in Switzerland and get laid pretty easily here. I actually did that last year, got 3 girls in a week. I could have gotten even more but logistics of vacations with my friends prevented that haha. :lol:
So, I strongly recommend you to try Tinder elsewhere. Maybe you could use your vacation to try Tinder in a big city this summer ?
100% gonna have it running this summer while I travel the states (LA, Vegas and SF), and try to get some more normal-looking photos in, esp. with a group or what have you.

Now, I have not read the whole thread, so pardon me if I missed something relevant.
I would delete pics 3, 5, and 8. 3&5 just do not add any value additionally, so they are more risk then reward. 8 you look kinda goofy in my opinion. Streamline your profile a little. I personaly have more results now after I deleted a few pics and run on 4 pics only.
Solid advice. My thoughts up to this point have been "more high quality pics = better profile".
IMO you lack dimension in your profile. You seem too serious. If I were a girl I would think "Is this guy having fun aswell? Does he have friends?" There is just a little bit of warmth and lightheartedness missing.
Ah fuck, yes, This has been in the back of my mind for some time. I have this idea that pics of me smiling will devalue my overall vibe, in a sense. Trying to follow Manganiello s advice I read some time back that was something like "You need to look like a total fuckboy".
But sure, the pics are amazing. I will probably try to recreate the reading photo you dit, it is just fantastic.
Consider putting the shirtless pic a bit more back. It is a little too much too early IMO.
My reasoning to have it early on has been to screen for girls that are DTF, basically, but I also imagine it might scare some girls off. Gonna bump it back to 4th place and see if there's any changes.
I also am considering swapping it out with another one where my face doesn't look so weird. I have a bunch in the same style but there again, I'm thinking things like "Weird face and great looking body, or better face and not so jacked-looking pose?"

I agree with Maestro, that's really good advice. There is really no reason to have so many portrait photos, specially if there is not an activity involved.
Personally I would try with less photos and would change the order like in my attachment:
Thanks for the input!
Gonna try out your suggestion and set my location to LA, to where I'll be traveling next week.

Agree with the above, exactly how i would do it. Then adding more activity photos and a group picture.
Yeah, the activity photos are hard to shoot by myself but I'll be making it a priority going forward. I actually shot some 700 photos of myself on Saturday while I was alone at work. As in, posing behind the mixer, sitting/standing on the stage we've got set up at the moment and such.
stuff like this, any good?:
Figured I wanted a photo of me in my work-environment, but at the same time, in my eyes it's clear that it's staged. Also, I get caught up about looking into the camera or not: if I do, it looks more staged. If I don't, I tend to have my go-to super-serious face and the vibe is more aggressive etc.
