Picture Feedback Megathread

Yeah a little tight around the upper arms but the vibe is instantly more fuckboy. Your current photos look like this guy

But with this new style in photos I think you can do much better.

lol fair enough, I have my chain and some new shirts coming in soon. I think I need some new black/grey jeans now as well as some new footwear. I mainly wear dark blue Nike sneakers since I can use them for literally anything but they probably don’t go with a leather jacket.

Adidas Stan smith style of shoes work with the leather jacket. So do black boots.

Get some Solovairs

Radical are these considered solovairs? They seem to have a similar look.

Imo this can work with a leather jacket.

Personally I’d go for the Black not the Black/Black (ie go for the one with polished leather, not (what appears to be) suede).

Link is wonky. This.

Oh yeah thats the one in my link.

Fair, but I relate more to you since we are both brown and face similar challenges. Seeing other brown guys do really well in dating makes me a lot more hopeful and blame my race for my lack of success significantly less.

Sure but I hired a stylist. I’m not one myself. Radical does this for a living.

But yes you will need to choose outfits that show you are westernised/whitewashed. Just plain good style won’t be enough, you need to communicate more than just that you are stylish. Needs to communicate edge and whiteness. Leather jacket helps.

Thursday Boots are the shit. I also know Radical approves of them. I have a pair of brown "Captain" boots and a pair of black "Cadet" boots. Both very well made and sexy looking.

EDIT: I just saw he suggested the Solivairs, he's the fashion guy so go with what he says

Hey guys need some honest feedback about my photos. I was having decent success using pics 1,8,9 in my medium sized town. I was able to get dates consistently, but I recently moved to LA and now I'm struggling. Took some more photos and would love some honest feedback if any of these are usable and what order I should put them in. Also should I include the group photo I know its not very candid, but it does show off my height. Any advice is welcome. Thank you.

I like 6, 7 and 9. Good backgrounds, and they say something about you - gives girls a window into who you are and what you're about.

The rest don't say anything about you. They're just you sitting or standing, or in the case of the group photo, it's very low quality. You're not the one who stands out, and it's very cluttered and posed.

You've got a lot of potential. Did you check out the guest post I wrote for Andy? http://killyourinnerloser.com/paparazzi-factor/

Following the advice I have in there will help you a lot. LA is a lot more competitive, but when you crack the code you'll be matching with hot girls.

Solovairs are a brand i like, they used to make Dr Martens
As far as affordable combat style boots go i have them as the best
Thursday boot co is another popular rec that myself and basically all of online fashion have pushed at some point - good quality for a very fair price

GN44
Honestly i have no idea if perry ellis boots are good or not. I've not heard them mentioned before in the fashion content i keep up with. And I'd be hesitant to go off just an online shop picture only

With boots i'd recommend saving up til you can afford the better quality. Have a look at some of the thursday boot co options

These look great. I’ll take a look for myself when I’m ready to buy more boots or upgrade my style a little.

Though GN44 is a student with not a lot of money. Personally I think it’s more bang for buck for him to focus on quantity of clothes from fast fashion stores and then slowly upgrade his favourites to higher quality when he can afford it?

I like Thursday boot co's captain boots a lot. It has a really refined look that Perry Ellis does not have, guess thats quality for ya. I think I just needed a budget friendly option since my reshoot is soon and Id like to be ready by then, thats why I first looked at Perry Ellis. My photographer doesn't have the most flexible schedule either. If I bought it directly from the website it would take me till Thanksgiving break to afford them.

I found a pair of the ones I want on ebay in my size, the captain leather boots, seller rating and reviews looks good so 99% sure he is legit. He is selling it for roughly 100$.

That and my dad being nosy as hell about my finances after the bullshit I did. I could go buy the boots I want tonight after my tutoring session but some cash sitting in venmo but I have to transfer it to my bank, get the cash from the atm (my nearby one is closed), and go to cvs and get it into my paypal which is the only thing I still have private.

 

[Radical]

I get it about budgets etc
Boots are just something id not advise cutting corners with

Id go with the smart minimal sneakers instead for now personally and go back to boots when its doable

Also tell your dad that youre an adult and to fuck off (politely)

Also tell your dad that youre an adult and to fuck off (politely)

It is ridiculous but I understand why he is like this for now since my spending addiction was fucking nuts. If I kept up with that it could wreck havoc on my future family.

On another hand ISTG immigrant families don't believe in privacy. Sooner or later he will know I am getting money from this and I will just be honest. Don't want him touching my Paypal though.

Background blur necessary or nah?

Background blur necessary or nah?

Are you thinking of adding this pic to your tinder? If so imo I think it doesn't stand out much, tons of dudes have photos like that and ig it doesn't give off the "bad boy" flair.

This is just my opinion, the others here will probably carry more weight.

It’s definitely a damn solid pic and will be used as my primary pic for a insta post.
I’m considering using it for tinder as well, I’ll at least give it a run for it’s money.

Every guy has pics like this

No, a lot of guys have a travel pic and it’s terrible. Face barely visible, that weird arms out pose, cringe facial expression, …

It comes down to look hot and interesting, you don’t have to do a weird hobby that nobody does just to stand out.

It doesn’t look fuckboy enough

Doesn’t have to. As long as your profile shows that you’re a comfortable sexy man, then you show the correct message.

Cheeky confident smirk, good clothes for the situation, looking very good —> that’s also sexy. You don’t necessarily have to wear a leather jacket or 4 rings to be considered sexy
