Are pictures everything on dating apps?

Yes, pictures make up about 90% of your success. Just put random stuff in your icebreakers and text them something like “im not a big texter, lets go do xy”. If it works you're good, if not, probably go out to meet women

You need the following to succeed:

You can't be fat. Like straight up. You have to be in shape, somewhat at least. Ideally in very good shape.
You have to have great pictures. And to give you some input on that, there are 3 factors that play a huge role:

- How attractive you look with the lighting, background & pose
- What clothes you wear (you should be dressed sharp / smart in most pictures).
- Eye contact with the camera and SMILE

Test your pics on Photofeeler to get an idea

You have to be in a location / city with a decent size.
Your bio CANNOT be a turn-off. So it must at least be neutral.
You MUST pay for more exposure on the app. Without this it's basically pointless.

Pictures + your ability to talk to women is what carries. Pictures to generate attraction, then your ability to talk to women to secure what you want. Of course, an attractive guy with good pictures will be given more slack when it comes to talking. But even a good looking guy can turn a girl off if he acts like a badgering little puppy instead of a guy who talks to women

As for the pictures, subject and composition matter, mostly subject though. Take a look at the tinder sub and look at the sea of unkempt, overweight, greasy looking guys making the soyjack face in their photos they took in their car. A couple nice photos are good, but a full roster of professional photos is a bit sus unless you're a model or something like that

Really need to emphasize physical appearance though. Much of it is in your control and you'll have to put in work if you want better results

Pictures are at least 90% of it. So ask yourself, do you really want your first impression to be limited to a picture, or do want it to be more full and dimensional? Because if you want full and dimensional, you’re going to have to go out and meet women in person. Now they’re judging your appearance based off more metrics than just a picture. Your vibe. Your energy. Your aura. Your presence. The way you move. The way you carry yourself. You know, the things women are actually attracted to physically that pictures simply cannot convey

90 percent pictures. 10 percent right time right place.
