I got out of a two year relationship and have started dating again the past three months.

Before my two year relationship, I would never get 2nd dates. Moreover, on first dates the girls would be on their phone the whole time, and I would never get laid.

Since then, I am 26, and its a night and day difference. I am 5'10 and 167lb, and very stylish. I am pretty muscular and people always tell me I'm a very good looking guy.

When I go on dates now, I typically lay the pipe on the second date, and if I don't, I get very close on the second date. I think that things have changed a lot because I used to be a cornball before. Plus, I am in better shape and dress better.

The issue I am having now is that I am getting all my dates from hinge right now. Its an issue because I only match with 6-7's. I rarely ever match with 8-10s, and when I do, I get their numbers but we never end up meeting up...

When I go out to restaurants, I get looks from 8-10s. I went out bar hopping last weekend for the first time, and I kept getting cockblocked by the bouncer (Covid restrictions...).

How can I meet 8-10s. Do I work on my hinge profile and get professional pictures or where can I go?
