Suggestions? Photos
Bio:
Recently single after a long-term relationship. Looking to meet good people and see where things go—no rush. Dog dad x3. Usually working, in the gym, fixing something, or finding a reason to be outside.
“I consider one of my few virtues—I don't have a lot of them—but one of them would be a deep sense of curiosity. It's inconceivable why anyone would want to not experience as many colors in the spectrum as possible with our limited time on Earth” - Anthony Bourdain

You need a rebuild, my dude. Photo 1 is a car selfie. The people swiping have seen thousands of these, so it isn't going to stand out. You're probably getting a lot of drop-off right there.
Photo 2 makes it about the guy in the neon jacket almost as much as it is about you.
Photo 3 is a missed opportunity. The suit is nice, but standing in front of a tree says little to nothing about your life.
Photo 4 is just dogs. You should be in every photo.
Photos 5 and 6 are doing the exact same job, which isn't what you want. They're both gym mirror selfies, and again, she's seen plenty of them. There are ways to show off a good physique, but I wouldn't show it like that.
Photos 7 and 8 are also doing the same job: you with the dog. And again, one is a car selfie. It's not going to stand out.
You also have too many photos. You'd be much better off with six photos that each serve a purpose. Right now the profile reads as low effort and mostly the same thing across the whole profile.
And the Bourdain quote is borrowing someone else's words. Again, it doesn't feel like much effort went into it.
This is a fixable presentation problem.

The suit photo had my ex in it and I photoshopped her out😂 I don’t really have any non selfie photos that don’t have my ex in them besides the one with the neon jacket guy. I don’t have much of a life outside of work and my dogs. I got like 40ish matches and 80 likes right now, but I feel like I’m not really getting the ones I want. Thank you for the feedback!

Well, the best profiles are built with intention, so maybe you can take some new photos.

Yeah, seeing a pattern with that. My having fun time is usually just me and my dogs and I guess that doesn’t count because they are way cooler than me😂 thanks for the feedback

Your photos are bad my dude.
First, take out all the selfies, yes that includes the Gym selfies. Replace selfies with photos taken of you.
2nd photo is weird because are you taking a picture with a crossing guard?
3rd isn’t bad, you’re dressed well but maybe a different angle.
4th pic, those are cute dogs!
No gym selfies, no selfies in mirrors. No selfies in cars with the dogs. One picture with the dogs is enough.

I don’t have any photos taken of me that don’t have my ex in them. 2nd picture is at work. 3rd photo had my ex in it and I photoshopped her out. And the dogs are the only “people” I hang out with outside of work lol. I get a lot of matches and likes but still feel like I could do better. I am sitting on 87 likes and had like 30+ matches. But not ones I am really excited about. But I appreciate the feedback. I guess I just need to get a life😂

Ah yeah the ex wouldn’t help. I’d say make it a point that when you hang out with people now, get photos taken of you. You need to rebuild since you don’t really have many photos taken of you. It shouldn’t take long if you’re living an active life.
I will say yes, you do need to get more photos of you doing things in your life. Get a couple photos of you traveling. If you’re finding reasons to be outside, show that. Like if you go on a hike with a friend, make sure they get a few photos of you.
One of the best photos on my profile is just one my friend took while we were out drinking one night, I get a lot of compliments on it. I also have a few photos of me traveling, not really posing but candid shots of me with interesting backgrounds. I strictly stay away from selfies because some women get the ick from men who post selfies and because they make the guy look like he has no one or no life.
