If a man has gotten a haircut and is at low body fat percentage or just straight up underweight and is not getting any matches, that should be it. There is nothing more that can be changed that would make a difference. Going to the gym and getting bigger is only going to make a difference to your body. At least when you are overweight, getting lean changes everything about you. If you are already lean, then the only difference that can be made at that point is in relation to the body, which is not a factor on a dating app where you go based off photos.

Think of a store. Women are the customers buying products and you are on the shelf. They pick what they see and like, while you are waiting to be picked.

There are men who only use one profile picture of themselves, which is them taking a selfie with a dirty bathroom mirror, no bio, getting more matches than you could ever dream of getting.

I remember seeing a profile review on /r/tinder of a man that had a straight up deformity and there were people telling him to change his bio and use a different shirt in his photos?

I see profile reviews where there are men who have pretty much perfect profiles and are not getting matches and even all the comments basically say that their profiles are perfect and even they do not understand why they are not getting matches. It's getting to the point where the people offering advice are nitpicking at something so minor as "different pair of shoes". That is not only ridiculous, but straight up insulting.

The only two things which can make a difference are low body fat percentage and a haircut. If you have done both of those and you still notice that nothing is getting better, then it's time to hop off the apps. You can't change anything else that will actually matter at that point. This is also the exact reason why I think it's nicer in a sense to just straight up tell certain men to not use the apps, because it's not for them. It's either that or you just gaslight them into killing their self esteem even more, which in turn is probably going to also radicalize them further into becoming inc*ls btw.
