Trouble with pics on Tinder

[tvktvk]

Hey guys,

I've been experiencing a drought of matches on dating apps recently.
Last girl I was with from tinder told me I looked WAY better in real life than on my pics, so that's probably one of my main issues.
I took some new pictures of me recently, trying to follow chase's guidelines of looking away from the camera. These are not really that good, but it's all I have for now:

Which one do you guys think suits best as my main pic? Or should I find something completely different? Would love some advice.

Hi tvk,

Well, the good new is you have a good base to work with - hair and facial hair are on point. The bad news is there is no effort put into these pics, so they won't do well. If you don't want to pay for pro pics, then here is your best bet.

1) Take Selfies in Your Car - those pics that you just took would look a millions times better if you took them in your car. Lighting is everything. All those pics that you see where the chick's skin looks absolutely bright and flawless (like a pane of glass), are taken in front of a big window. You should do the same.

2) Smile - Nobody wants to meet someone who is serious or upset all the time. Smiling makes you warm and approachable. If you do a full tooth smile, just make sure to look away from the camera. Experiment with half smiles as well.

3) Take a Full Body Shot - Get your style on point and have a pic taken that shows at least your waist and up. Chicks want to see your basic shape, just like we do.

4) Download Square Instapic - This only works for android phones, but iphones do have the same app, it's just called something different. It allows you to crop your pics without having Tinder autocrop them into squares. Super handy. It also has a ton of different filters to make even boring pics like the ones you took really pop.
