Okay, so about a month ago, I hit a breaking point and decided that I was ready to start really trying to get laid / find a relationship. I've started getting serious about my weight-lifting for the first time in years, started eating like I mean it, and started working on a Tinder / Bumble / Hinge profile. I've always gotten pretty consistent feedback from other people that I'm a physically attractive guy - comments that I'm handsome, girls always laugh at my jokes, stares from girls in high school, that sort of thing. However, I was always convinced that I was essentially unworthy of dating, so I avoided it as much as I could. I focussed almost entirely on working through my issues, but I feel like I'm a decent human being now and I feel like all those years of avoiding dating have left me utterly incapable of even starting.
I've read through Andy's Tinder guide up through Part 3, and I was seeing a bit of initial success for the first week that I had my Tinder profile (about 7 matches), but I'm finding almost no success now and it's extremely demoralizing. This is made even worse by the fact that I've had so many opportunities to date that I rejected in the past, and now it feels like the moment that I'm ready to start dating, the universe is conspiring to make it impossible. I've gotten no matches off of Hinge at all, and a single date on Bumble that turned out to be a catfish. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm going to keep working on improving my pictures, but I'm not entirely sure which pictures I should keep or get rid of from my dating profile. I'm also not sure what I should change about my profile to make it look better. I'm planning on spending the next month or two shredding so that I can just throw a shirtless pic up, but for now I'm probably hovering a bit above 15% bodyfat.
I guess that what I'm looking for is a bit of help - which pictures should I replace first? Are there any changes to my bio that I should make? Pics and bio below.
