Confused on tinder?

I would get some professional-looking photos of you done, man. I'm telling you-- the fish bite a lot more when the photographer knows how to make you look good.

Your face and body are mote than sufficient concentrate on conveying status:

Travel photos / outdoor hobby photos/ wild costume party etc. Bathroom selfies work for few people. Shirtless photo rock climbing is a god example

In the long run see if you can get up to 185/190 lbs lean. At 5'11 thats very doable

I haven't used tinder for a year but last time I was on, I got good reception by being a huge asshole. There's plenty of boring normal people on there. Be a witty polarising douchebag, within reason and assuming it can be a real extension of your persona.

In person I'm a pretty normal guy with normal boundaries but when texting/online I'm a huge beta. So the douchebag persona is probably more necessary for me.

After frustration of zero matches for a while, I impulsively put in my bio "only ex Mormon girls need apply" and my matches shot right up.

You're handsome enough, but your pictures could be much better.

Get a handsome headshot that isn't a selfie. Apparently the best possible picture for guys with this shot is non-smile, and not looking in the camera. A good second is a good smile in the camera.
Group photos are good, but if you add group photos then make sure you're "the star" of that photo. Be the tallest for example.
Pictures with animals, like a puppy.
Action photos - show skin if you look good doing it. The selfie in mirror at the gym is forbidden. No selfies ever.

You're alright looking but none of your pics are great.

Poor lighting, poor angles, you're at the back in one of your pictures.

Use Snapchat filters etc to make them look better colour wise.

From these pics it looks like all you do is hike trails all fucking day.

First your pics: The only shirtless pic you should have is you holding a puppy in a swim suit flexing your arm and showing your abs. Smile.

The next pic you need is one of you displaying your height and dominance over an area. Yes it sounds stupid but it works. Try a doorway and place your arms over your head holding the top of the door frame. Wear clothes that are labeled such as Banana Republic or other classy "expensive" brand.

Your third pic should be of you standing (not leaning) in front of an expensive car, a BMW, Cadillac, etc.

Your fourth pic should be of you at a party or event with other people having a good time.

Have someone else take the pictures. Do not use selfies.

For your bio, mention your height as 6'.
