I am, at least I consider myself so, a slight below-average attractive guy. I am not ugly, but I certainly do not woe women with my looks. You could compare me with Louis CK or Heisenberg.

First I had "genuine" pictures on Tinder. The success rate was like 1 match of 50. Pretty devastating.

Then I started to have more vague, but interesting pictures. Face close-ups, me being on a mountain from behind. The lighting makes my face slightly thinner than in reality.

Now I have a success rate of about 1 of 5, which is good enough for me.

I'm doing pretty great, of many women I manage to get the number in the first 30 minutes. However, then they start to request pictures on Whatsapp, because they "can't see everything".

When I send them the genuine pictures, it's over. Before that they were sexual flirty and chatty, responded immediately within seconds. After the pictures the women get silent in an instant.

It's pretty devastating for my self-confidence. Until that point they are so close to "down to fuck", that I think that I made myself attractive enough, but their engagement vanishes in the second I send them the normal pictures, and then they're all like "Nah, actually I'm good."

One time, I even said no to send other pictures and told her, if she's so intrigued, she should go on a date with me. But nope, she even stalked my name on Facebook and THEN rejected me.

I don't know how to handle this, as this happened numerous times.

For the record, I'm talking about 25-30yo women.
