Douchiest pics I've ever seen, I fucking love it.

Part of the reason why you may not be getting the matches is because you swiped right too much and your ELO score is down, thus not exposing your profile to as many girls.

I would reset your account, and use the following four/five pictures:

The one of you with the jacket in front of the car
The shirtless one with you and the baby
The one with you with the booze and one of your buddies
Either the one with you and your buddies shirtless on the beach or the one with you and the two girls on the beach (or both)

Keep the bio simple and to the point:

6'0 from the ATL living in [insert spot]. Fitness, other hobbies etc.

DO NOT Rambo swipe. Actually evaluate the girls on there and swipe based upon whether you actually want to bang them or not.

Get bumble too while you're at it.

2, 3, 5, 6, 11

Respect on the build man, good work.

5’s good because girls will ask about the baby even though they care more about the bi veins.

(First pic:)

You look way shorter than 6'0" here. Was the guy taking the picture taller than you (or the road slopes up there?)

Get a pic taken from eye level or slightly below.

Your jawline is good, but the visible flesh under the chin is unflattering on anyone and looks double-chin-y (you want to angle your head so that it isn't visible, only jawline edge and neck).

The pose and facial expression look very douchey to me...which is probably a good thing for Tinder. The looks that work on chicks tend to look douchey to other guys. You look like an arrogant jerk, which of course is a good thing.

The pose/posture is great for actual in person interaction, very alpha (though once again undermined by the picture making you look short). tough to say whether it's good for a Tinder pic or just makes you look tryhard. Much better than most guys still tho. Definitely use that body language during meatspace interactions with chicks.

If that's your last name on the jacket, you are kinda doxxing yourself so think about that. If not, and if it's the badge is a DHV (what is that, volunteer firefighter group?) then make it more visible.

The jacket puffy sleeves give an illusion of thicker arms (good), but in this pic it's undercut by the black-on-black of sleeve on road. The background overall is meh. The car doesn't look like a DHV caliber ride, and everything else is very mundane.

(Others:)

Get rid of the mirror selfie, those are tryhard, and you have others that show off your build. Overall pretty good. The group of girls works b/c you are not looking at the camera and you don't seem clingly or overly eager to be in a pic with girls (shitloads of guys have the tryhard "arm over each girl and we all know they are just friends" pics).

Ditch the last one with the bros at the beach, since the guy in the middle has more alpha body language there (besides being in the middle) and looks more built and cut in that one (it undersells your physique relative to the others)

overall better pics than 99% of guys, so happy hunting

You're easily in the top 10% of guys on tinder. You should have no problem. Pick the ones that look like you are having the most fun and have the highest social proof. None of the mirror selfies.

Get rid of the ones where you're just standing there posed by yourself - only have posed photos if they're showing you doing something awesome or if they're with hot girls

I'd put the one of you with the girls as your main. It's a great shit test trigger for girls, who will challenge you about it. Make sure you respond with the douchiest shit you can possibly come up with

I think you look like a cool dude :) But from a women's standpoint some things can use a little fix.

On Tinder women actually dislike preselection. I would strongly minimize pictures featuring other (hot) women. Max one where you are with your sister if you have one.

If you go shirtless, ALWAYS make it "accidental". Never pose or while working out. The pics with your bros are a bit too LIFT-showoff. I would rather like a picture of you in a social setting (bar) wearing a very fitted shirt so there's still enough to see, while having fun with people.

I have one where I'm shirtless standing in the show on a mountain hill, looking in the distance, because that was my actual attire during an Iceman training. That stuff makes women intrigued. The baby pic is a good example of this, although it may make some women wonder if you're a single dad. A second pic of me shirtless is during a performance on stage with lots of bodypaint. Again it was part of the show, the pic was "accidental".

There seems to be a cutout pic of the first, I wouldn't do that.

I really like the out of focus couch pic. Makes you look sophisticated and stuff.

And yes, Tinder's algorithm is weird. Sometimes you get hardly any matches for weeks, then it decides to put you on top of the stacks again. Be modest in swiping right. Too much of either left of right lowers your score.

Good luck man!

It looked like the baby's leg was your cock.

Grow some facial hair and you'll be deadly on tinder.
