You need new pictures.

I don’t want to sound like a dick, but dam man. Get new pictures. You have anything where your smiling and wearing a suit?? Put that on as your profile picture.

[–]GrantTB[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

Thanks. What should they look like and how should I get them?

[–]Andthentherewasgod 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

In addition to the suit picture suggestion, other photos should include like nature-related stuff.

Do you like hiking/camping? Put a second picture of you on top of a mountain with a nice view.

Also I see your into sports, boxing/kickboxing. Instead you hitting someone. How about take a picture afterwork with a friend from class but nothing too sweaty or anything but gloves hanging your shoulder.

The whole point, I think, is to sex appeal and enhance your ruggedness.

You have long hair and great hair ya know. So maybe in the profile picture, trimmed facial hair, and hair done nicely (possibly slicked back, but not too much) with a suit and a smile.

Edit: Tops 3/4 photos max

Edit (2): in regards to your about me, I suggest, write “professional guy with a passion for good times, sports, nature, and books”

[–]GrantTB[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

Thanks, that's a lot of actionable advice, and seems practical. I appreciate you taking the time. I think you know more than I do, but one question did come to mind: have you seen the OKC blog about smiling pics?

[–]Andthentherewasgod 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago* (5 children) | Copy Link

I went through the three links. I didn’t see anything about that.

Based on experience from me and my friends, get rid of okc. Only use, bumble and the other one, coffee meets bagel.

Bumble is obviously preferred.

My only advice is this, you based on your profile. You seem like a fun guy, someone for long term or short but more long term. Any women can have a great time and enjoy herself with you. So make that happen!

The photos have to showcase exactly that. Sitting in room with a dental floss tied like that? That’s not appealing that’s fucking scary man (no offense) or your into bondage haaha.

Most women, I’ve read somewhere and maybe it’s true through some APA articles. It takes them 3 seconds (tops) to know/feel if they are attracted to you or if they want to fuck you. That’s why the blog stuff, no one has time for that. Save that awesome content for later (dates etc). I hope your getting what I’m saying here.

The profile has to match that (fun, awesome, attractive, good times) and I think if done right. Man oh man broski, your about a experience a whole new social life haaha.

Edit: if you go to concerts, add a picture of you having fun at the concert. Nothing to crazy but a nice-fun picture of you.. why? Because this showcases that you have a social life and can create a fun time. See what I’m getting at?

[–]GrantTB[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Thanks for that. This is helpful. Btw, I meant the official OKC blog--it has an article suggesting that non-smiling pics get better results for men. But that's just one opinion. Anyway, can you say more about having a pic from after boxing (I have some somewhere) vs during?

[–]Andthentherewasgod 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

You don’t have to smile but don’t look mean either.

So take that boxing photo. It’s great of an idea, but it’s a photo of you hitting someone. I’m thinking, if you have a friend at the class. Take a photo of two after boxing class next to some equipment, with your gloves hanging over you shoulder.

For example: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/two-young-male-boxing-friends.html

Scroll down, you will find a stock photo of two friends with boxing gloves on the rope (just an example).

[–]GrantTB[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Good examples, thanks. I'll change that when I find my pics. Btw, I see now that results can vary from those found by OKTrends, which vindicates your pro-smile advice:

[–]Andthentherewasgod 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Hahaha thanks for making my evening, I appreciate it.

[–]GrantTB[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Thanks for the insight.

[–]getyourlifeplease 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link

Female here...and I am gonna be blunt as Hell - those pics are kinda scary. Cant put my finger on it, but you have a very deadpan look on your face...and that doesnt scream to a woman "get to know me".

I suggest livening up your photos - action shots, shots with friends. And a SMILE (not the awkward all teeth showing/eyes bugged out kind either...) a simple warm smile that shows genuineness.

[–]GrantTB[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Thanks, it's outstanding to get a female perspective, and the smile advice is consistent with that from another commenter. I asked him about an OKTrends blog with the opposite opinion, but interestingly, I now see that a replication did not corroborate OKT (link below). Thoughts?

[–]getyourlifeplease 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Whatever OKC said is on them...the advice you got here is real-time and pertains specifically to YOU. So trust me...a warm smile is needed and will soften your look (aka you wont look as scary/creepy).

[–]GrantTB[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Thanks, that’s helpful. I was talking with someone else and assuming that if the smile seemed fake that would backfire. Do you think so?

[–]GrantTB[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Hi, I took ten smile pics and added one to my profile, but although genuine they are toothy, which you admonished. I value your insight, and the pic didn’t improve my results, so I’d welcome your thoughts (pic attached).

[–]getyourlifeplease 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Nice improvement. But gotta be honest...that first pic (the largest one in the collage) is off-putting (aka - kinda creepy/scary). I would remove that one.

[–]GrantTB[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Thanks. I did remove that shortly after the post, given the advice. I do sometimes wonder about balance, though, given that some common descriptions of desirable men emphasize menace and cruelty. What are your thoughts?

I have to ask...is smiling/facial expressions NOT natural for you? I ask because your smile just seems...well...unnatural, in a way. I CANT explain it. Thats why Im curious id managing your facial expressions is difficult for ya

[–]GrantTB[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That's helpful feedback to get, thanks. This was inorganic in that I smiled on cue. What do you advise?
