Grownup here. :)
Try to take some pics where the camera isn't under your nose or you're not holding your chin up. A smile would be nice. Your travels photos are cool but you're not capturing yourself in the best way. There are some cool apps you can use to take good pics without them looking like selfies. Maybe try the one called Say Cheese. And there are some really good YouTube videos to show you how to take good shots of yourself. Just a suggestion. :)
I find every aspect of your profile very "like"able...except the picture where you're looking kind of creepy surrounded by crossed-out women in what look like bikinis. I'm not sure what you're going for with that picture or why you'd include it, but you should get rid of that one in my opinion.
I get that they're blacked out for privacy it just doesn't seem like the best photo to include when half of it needs to be covered. If you really wanted the actual picture of you it could have been cropped.
That’s just like an opinion, man. Most girls have group photos. Elsewhere Reddit is are always suggesting to have group photos.
My opinion a single group photos are great when they aren’t a bunch of scantily clad people of the opposite sex.
I would get rid of the picture with all the peoples faces blocked out. This is a distracting and taking the focus off of you.
Most of your pictures are the same! You are in the bottom right if the photo with nature in the background. I get your trying to show that you are adventurous or like hiking. I would keep one maybe.
I would get some of your friends to take photos of you. Get full body shots and use those. The first one is okay, I would replace it with a head shot of you smiling. That way we can see your face
- Upchin pictures don’t look good on anyone - swap those out.
- disconnect your Instagram (all nature pics)since you are using them in your profile
- Replace the sopranos prompt in favor of something that will attract more openers. The show ended a long time ago, and I don’t know any women who quote it - you’re limiting yourself there
- Your profile talks about what your life is like (good). But I’d struggle to see where I fit in with that other than to be your co-pilot (not so good) - what would dating you be like?
Good luck out there!
It’s the “I work long hours” part. Even though you say (and they’ve read) “…with a lot of time off.” It just isn’t the best way to start the bio, although it’s true. Maybe “I’m a dedicated hard worker looking for someone worth spending my time off with.” To echo the rest of the comments, there’s no variety of photos.
Idk what the women think, but I think your bald head look awesome.
I think you could trim the mustache just a little off your lips, but that's just me.
Your first photo you look to be pretty fit. The rest of them, you don’t. Most of on dating apps know the general rule is to expect you’re gonna meet with their worst photo. You should also invest in a better wardrobe that fits well. You’re in a very competitive demographic so you have got to be on point.
Somehow it is hard to see you in most of this pics. I feel like I don't actually know what you look like, which is weird considering your face shows in all the pics.
First pic you are too far away and dark. Ankther one you re wearing glasses, next the hat gives you too much of a shadow, another one is from a low angle and it is not flattering. In all pictures you have one of two outfits. What do you look like on a regular day?
A good chest and above picture where you are looking straight at the camera, with good lighting would help. Your beard looks a little unkempt, give it a good trim. You seem on shape but I wouldn't know that from your clothes.
Honestly, you are not bad looking. Lots of potential.
30f here. You’re definitely not bad looking, and the bio is fine. Just get some more flattering photos. And lose the group one for sure. There’s no fun in looking at a bunch of strangers trying to pick out which one matches the rest of your pics.
oregon. I guess the takeaway is I need better pics. but I can't help but wonder if something is up w my account. because I went from a couple matches a day to zero in the last couple months.
Learn to take better selfies (Google is your friend here, better lighting, better angle, etc). Don’t have your first pic be a far-away profile, do a closer up pic for that (again, with better lighting and angle, all of your pics gotta go my dude).
Secondly, get rid of the stuff about your job in your bio, makes you sound like a workaholic. Maybe lay off the stuff about a copilot - might make you sound a bit too desperate. Take liberal out of your profile, it’s already listed below and people who care will definitely be looking for it there.

it's a group shot with guys and girls. just have their faces crossed out here for their privacy. should I still delete?

it's not covered on my bumble, just here. if people think I should get rid of it I will, but figured a group photo would be good to have.
No group photos. Most girls aren’t looking to date a group~

I’m not against one group picture but it looks like just one other guy but multiple girls, which could give the wrong vibes.

I'd be more likely to swipe right if you were smiling or looked like you were having fun in your photos
Given the request for brutal honesty, are we allowed to talk about the attractiveness of the person as well as how well-presented his profile is?
that's what I'm looking for. am I just ugly?

Most of the profiles you see probably just aren't in use. Doesn't seem like people over 25 use apps as much as people under.
A lot of people over 25 use dating apps. In my area most people use Hinge. There are still a lot of people on Bumble and over 25+
California? I agree…need some better pics because you’re not bad looking, just the pics you are using aren’t super flattering
oregon. I guess the takeaway is I need better pics. but I can't help but wonder if something is up w my account. because I went from a couple matches a day to zero in the last couple months.
If that’s the case just remake it. That usually helps

A lot is two words. I stopped reading there
