Observations: All the men who were confident enough to send me their photos without giving a fuck were extremely good-looking and cut. Some of you are straight up body builders. All of you are alphas and look like it. I understand some of you are paranoid about sending a stranger your face and that's fine. Just something I noticed from those who did. Alpha vibes all around.

I partially expected a bunch of neckbeards because of the rumored reputation of this sub- and got quite the opposite. We are a good-looking bunch. If anybody calls us a bunch of fat cheese-it eating losers, smirk and walk away because it's fucking not true at all.

Advice: We look tough, but we also look sad. Some women will be attracted to the never-smiles stone-cold pics, but many will prefer a "fun" guy. If your mirror selfie looks like you're at a funeral, take another, or have at least one where you look like you're having a good time. Smiles are not beta. However, not all of you should smile, only those of you with good smiles and good teeth. Of the dozens of photos I received, only like 5 had anything resembling a smile and many of them I wished did. Smirks are good, thousand-yard-stare is great, mid-laugh is good if there are friends in the photo. Look at your face and your body and decide if "fun/funny" is part of your attractiveness.

CROP THE GODDAMN SINK. So many blinding white porcelain bathroom appliances that fuck up your white balance and draw the viewers eye away from you. Ditto the urinal, I know girls say over and over they're repulsed by a toilet in the background.

NIGHT PHOTOS WITH FLASH GENERALLY SUCK. You have red eyes, washed out/greasy skin from wearing moisturizer with sunscreen, and they generally don't flatter you. There are exceptions, but many of these were just too dark to be doing you any favors.

IF YOU HAVE RIPPED ABS, experiment with the HDR function on your phone/camera. I've seen some really stellar fake HDR on iphone photos that makes you look like an underwear model. And get a goddamn tan or fake tan, it looks so much better in pics.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A RIPPED BOD, don't use the shirtless photo. Especially if you're skinny, and especially if you're pale. Again there are exceptions, farmer's boys, the beach, but watch out for that. I did a lot of subtle post-production spray tanning to make you look less like an albino. Put a stupid Instagram filter on it if you must, girls are used to them and generally don't care.

CERTAIN PARTS OF YOUR BODY ARE QUALIFIERS and they include: strong jawbone, strong browbone, strong arm or shoulder muscles, big eyes, high cheekbones. If you've got em, and have a pic that subtly shows some of that off, use it. Notice how girls turn various ways in their pics- that's why.

IF YOU'RE TAKING A POSED PIC, DON'T LOOK INTO THE CAMERA. It makes you look desperate. Selfies can be an exception, but generally looking down or past the camera like you're more into yourself than the user is attractive to women- you immediately set the tone that you don't care.

IF YOU WANT TO CHEAT AND DGAF, cheap ways to cheat include: narrowing the photo if you're overweight, crop the top of your head off if you're balding, turn the contrast up, doing an activity where you're flexing and have a buddy take a picture (dog is ideal), put on athletic wear, bend down to tie your shoe and look at the shoe and have a buddy take a pic, get sexy chicks in the picture with you even if they're strangers (pre-selection).

In general, you all need and deserve better pictures, but I was happy to help with what you had.
