I'd start by taking better pictures, alot of Men take those generic mugshot pics where you're looking straight at the camera, it looks uncanny and offputting. The second pic is something in the right direction, take more angle shots, it'll take some trying to find the right ones. Also try doing it outside where the lighting is alot more natural if possible. It might be more noticible to people so they might not feel like they're looking at suspect #4524Isnt this misandry?
Also if you're male looking for Female you are likely going to have a much harder time in general, just due to how many men vs women use these apps, and imma be real, most men are not worth the effort.
Isnt this misandry?Not if you say the same for the women. Realistically, most of anyone on online dating apps aren't worth the effort.

(don't smile at something off camera though, it looks weird)Not true. There's nothing at all wrong with it. I have a picture where I'm smiling at the Maid of Honor's speech at my sister's wedding and it looks great.
Everyone else is whining about how men are disadvantaged in online dating and that's not really true. If you're looking to line up 5+ chicks for 1st date bangs a week then, yeah you're not in the 1% that can swing that. If you're just looking for some matches that might turn into dates then you should be fine. Its been quite a while since I was using Tinder but as an average looking not particularly tall guy I was able to get what I wanted out of it at the time. You shouldn't get 0 matches ever as long as your pictures aren't blurry and repetitive.Also not true. 0 matches in three months use proves otherwise. It's not even just me.

I suppose to an extent, but I'm a man myself and have spent most of life socializing with men, and I can tell you the average straight man has no idea how to interact with women and knows even less about them than you might think, not saying you do or don't, but you have an obstacle to climb over so to speak, as in you might have to try harder to get attention just due to an inundation of boring, bland men.There's even more boring, bland women so it's fair.
Not true. There's nothing at all wrong with it. I have a picture where I'm smiling at the Maid of Honor's speech at my sister's wedding and it looks great.Lol, alright, dude. OP asked for general advice about pictures and I' sure you nitpicking some random extremely specific example about how you look amazing smiling off camera will help him a lot. Especially after you admit that you haven't got a match in 3 months despite having that absolutely stunning picture.

I dont know where you can go in real life to socialize but surely it will be better than tinderHobbyist clubs I guess? That's the main recommendation. Get in with a group of people who like the same things where you can meet people naturally.

Also going purely for the sake of hooking up with someone probably isn't going to work out.
Dont do this, just look to make friends. People hate the idea of the friend zone, but if you are friends with someone and you meet their friend, maybe that friend will like you.
these apps were not designed with men in mind and certainly not for any decent person looking for anything real.
My suggestions:Like I said, his pictures should appeal to a certain kind of person who appreciates authenticity. I was way more attracted to profiles with these kind of unpretentious pictures because it's just a person showing who they are, not trying to put on a show of how "fun and important" they are.
1) Make that last pic, in the dark blue hoodie your main pic.
2) Delete the main pic with your hands doing whatever
3) Try to take pics when you are out, a selfie in a parking lot is even fine (tho go to the park of you can) when it is just in your place, its tends to look bad, obviously if you are at any events whatsoever would be very very ideal.
Even then you will barely get any matches, but then again I am 40 now, so it is reallllly drying up for me.

I think getting dates becomes easier for men as they get older, at least up to a certain point.I'm not sure, on the one hand you get more experience and wisdom as you get older, thus learn to interact with people better. On the other hand, online dating is a young person's game. There aren't a lot of women looking for 40-year-old men unless they're looking for a sugar daddy.

I can only speak for my experience, and in some ways its limited, as Ive not spent much of my adult life single.Through online or in person? I could see it working out in person, but I online has to be tough for anyone over 30.
However, at the age of 35 I became single for the first time in 11 years, and had heard nothing but horror stories about the dating world and how it had changed. I was genuinely a bit worried about the whole thing.
While Id never particularly struggled to get dates etc when I was younger, I did have to put some effort in. Doing it at 35 was effortless.

Dating apps are really not a good way to meet people. Do you have hobbies that get you outside of the house?Work fine for me

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/053628a9.jpgBeing able to hold a conversation should be a basic starter. Being funny is also good. Or at least having a sense of humor. I don't believe you should necessarily need to DO super exciting things, but being a person that other people like to be around is important.
