kratjeuh said:Yes or big no?

Took my favorite 2 and edited a bit myself. Personally I really dig these but I always like the opinion of the pros haha.
Really want a new first one. I don’t like the one everyone likes here with the turtleneck because it’s overedited and I feel like I’m borderline catfishing. These new ones are more like my normal best looks

Yo your fucking jawline is sharp. Be careful don't want to cut anyone going in for the kiss.
The second one looks relaxed, will make girls feel like you're a big buff fuckboi that'll bear hug them and make them feel small and safe. I love it. Also you're doing something (having a coffee) so it seems more candid and natural.
The first one looks posed and the background is drab and distracting. You're not really doing anything except sitting which makes it feel fake.
Curious to see the rest, and to see how the photographer edits them!

Stumbled upon it and decided to add some editing (I hope it’s not overedited lol)
Is this a great picture, should I delete it, should I play with the dimensions?
kratjeuh said:All pics that I’d consider semi usable for online dating.
Love to know which ones you guys think are good enough and in which order to place them. I want to start using OLD again even though the profile won’t be perfect as of yet.
I’d also like to know which type of pics you would recommend me taking if I plan a new photoshoot (streetstyle, fancier place, …)

Lord Rey said:I agree with what was said above man. IMO, selfies are to be discarded entirely from being in a serious dating profile.
There are a few exceptions of course, but your example isn't a good one. Sometimes, you can get a decent selfie if you take it with a selfie stick in a nice place showing value, or if it is a social pic where you're looking good with people giving some value around you.
I just made a video for my business channel why selfies are bad, I gave 5 points why we should not use them:
- Bad vertical angle: selfies are usually taken with a shitty unflattering angle.
- Too close-up: if you don't use a selfie stick, your face will often be too close to the camera.
- Lens distortion: smartphones have wide-angle lenses causing a big distortion, making your face look worse than in reality (bigger nose and looking more fat).
- Low value: a selfie is a low effort and low value pic. It carries with it the stigma of being too low value by communicating that you're not important enough for other people to bother taking pics of you.
- Selfies are in the overwhelming majority of profiles: you don't want to have a profile like most guys, you want to have something that stands out and looks way above average.
Furthermore, you should be advanced enough to not listen to what girls say on your profile. You don't listen to a fish to learn fishing. Girls will always find something bad in any profile, that doesn't mean that you should listen to their critics. Hell, most of my FWBs criticized my profile a lot, saying that I look creepy in one pic, too serious in another, not smiling enough overall, etc. I always answered: "And yet you still swiped right on me! ".

It's obvious to me by now that you're not able to consistently pull off an acceptable facial expression unless you're smiling. So either smile, or practice your poses until you have them down.

kratjeuh said:I feel uncomfortable using that picture (as well as some others posted here) because I feel like I overdid the edit and I don't really look like that. Maybe I'm wrong here but ultimately I need to feel good about the pics I'm showing.
