Thoughts on profile picture for dating app?

I usually match with at best 6/10s which for me that's not bad since I'm not a chad. I could easily go shirtless but I feel like at my age it's kinda cringy for your main picture to be shirtless.

Good picture just crop out the dude getting a medal. He took over more than half of the pic. Also lean your head more towards the camera. Its the full face not half.

Weird gaze + no eye contact with the viewer seems a bit off to me. Not necessarily the greatest judge with these things though.so could be overthinking.

You look like you just snapped and are about to go on a stabbing spree.

Weird pic for your profile pic......I would use it....shows you in uniform (everybody knows ladies love that) but not as your profile.

You really think so?

Is that why male strippers show up dressed as accountants/engineers to bachelorette parties?

As for picking something «more casual» i wouldnt do that. Girls swipe thru 100 guys at a time not swiping right once. Better to have an attention grabbing picture as your main one

This to a degree. Firefighter > cop. I’d do something more like 4everalone said. They will also think you’re an insecure baldcel. No hats in main profile pic

You have to see yourself through the eyes of a woman. Would you match with a guy that had that as his pic? my answer would be fuk no.

You can do better than that pic



and if you're gonna post a shirtless pic make sures its in a natural setting like the beach, dont post gym selfies

Great photo - roll w/ it. In your description ask them to take a guess whether your police or firefighter for an opener.

It's not a bad pic by any means but you come across a little rigid and formal

Maybe try a more casual pic that shows your whole body in some street clothes

But not bad

And its like at first glance they can tell you are either a cop , fire fighter , etc

I like to keep a bit of a mystery at first

Youre just trying to be nice to him. OP is a good guy but you know damn well he ain't gonna attract matches wth that pic

He can do better

Yeah he will lol

I wish I had pics in a uniform. Girls love a man in uniform. Also it's clearly not going to be his only pic, but it defn is a good pic and adds to his profile in combo with other pics he may be using.

First glance thought you were a cop which will alienate like 90% of those sloots. Also your expression looks weird.

I'm assuming you have a better pic in firefighter gear? Would go with one of those instead.

Too much competition out there, you can't waste a pic with some bullchit like that

in 2004 that pic would be fine, but in 2022 OP gotta step his game up if he wants to land 7+'s

Not a bad looking picture, but tbh you look kinda of sinister a bit. Reminds me of this:
