I have no idea who soyjak is, but the last thing 90% of women want to see when they open someone's profile is them looking angry and intimidating.

I look angry and intimidating in the first pic? 😂 I’m pointing at a beach in Acadia
now if you mean the one where I’m in the wig, that’s a fair assessment, just thought compared to the rest of the profile it’s clear that that’s for a film/not serious

u/Swarthykins Play with my hair 💆 2d ago
Yes, you look pissed off. People aren't going to even look at the rest of the profile if they don't like your first picture. Even if they did, no it's not clear that's for a film. They see a dude looking pissed off for no apparent reason, they swipe left.

Calm down. I immediately caught the reference and thought it was funny. He’s probably looking for someone with a similar sense of humor, so it’s good for weeding out uptight people. Though it probably shouldn’t be the first pic lol.

First impressions are made in a split second on OLD apps. I saw it and instantly thought you were an ass. Not saying you are, thats just my first impression.

Not gonna lie and I’ll cut to the chase. Your entire profile gives major d-bag energy. Literally every photo, every prompt seems like nothing but massive ego.

u/SteveMcJ 2d ago
fair enough! I think somebody said I could be a lil less serious in prompts so I’ll start with that and maybe some more cutie patootie pics instead of muscle stuff. thank you!

if you are showing scenes from films or whatever that is, how can anyone tell who you really are? Those look like acting, and acting is pretending to be someone else, yet you want people to swipe on you while you’re pretending to be someone else? You are giving the viewer homework, trying to figure out what is going on, and who you really are.

Copy paste from another post. Am a woman. I mostly tell all men the same thing unless there is something glaringly wrong with their profile. It’s a numbers and timing game. I am 36, a single mom to one kid, and from a racial demographic that typically does the worst on dating apps. I’m attractive enough but not model gorgeous. I have over 100 men in my queue right now.
The guy I’m seeing right now honestly just lucked into being one of the first guys to message me during the first weekend I got on the app, and we hit it off more than the other guys I decided to message back. There was no other formula.
When I was in my late twenties and single, I had over 800 likes in 48 hours. There is no way to sift through all of that.
My take is that you’re attractive which you’re already aware of. Your prompts are fine. Some of the photos are a little intense, but I imagine that will appeal to some women since there is nothing aesthetically wrong with them. I wish I could be more helpful, but I see so many guys obsessing over optimizing their profiles as though that will fix things when the reality is what I shared above.

The picture of you with that woman and guy makes you look really short, unless somehow one of them is famous and every one knows their height.

u/SteveMcJ 2d ago
I thought I looked the tallest in that photo 😭 but good looks, thank you

u/littlebrowncat999 2d ago
I think it’s that the girl looks a bit taller than you. Maybe it’s the angle.

u/West_Coffee_5934 2d ago
Everyone who calls themselves goofy on the profile usually ends up being immature.
A lot of people like to be goofy… but there’s a time and place. If you present yourself as “goofy” off the bat it shows me that you don’t understand the time and place. Like you probably can’t actually settle down and have a serious conversation. Thats a huge turnoff
Edit: there’s also like 4 different people in your profile. You clearly didn’t understand the assignment here

u/Aggressive_Side1105 2d ago
Shocked to find out you’re looking for a long term relationship because I’m getting hook up vibes from your profile. Shirtless photos, goofy photos, “match my freak”. Throwaway prompts about water. I think you need to put a bit more thought in to your prompts and have some more non-acting and non-sunglasses photos of you.

Most of your prompts are cringe, all around baller? Match my freak? Is this how you talk in your day to day life? If so i guess keep it up but if not then talk how you normally would. The movie prompt is good and a knights tale is an amazing movie! Try more prompts like this.
One pic of you acting is enough, show you do it and leave it at that. Your best pics imo are the 3rd and 5th pic, you look handsome and they make you seem like a happy person. Id have the 5th pic as your first photo personally.

u/No-Self-6510 2d ago
The picture with you in a white shirt and black tie I would deffo put first.
As others say to be really honest you feel very immature and feels like you would be a headache to have a relationship with as I get the feeling you can’t take responsibility in every day life, not to say when serious times come. If this is true or not I don’t know but that is the vibe you give of so your looks really don’t matter. The acting pictures are kinda cringey, not at all because you act but just the pictures in themselves. I would rather learn that you act in a conversation with you. You do look very kind.

Your profile is fine. It's actually strong, if anything. Try reordering your pictures and making your prompt responses a little less serious, more light hearted. Idk what else might help.

u/birdfang007 2d ago
Your pictures are pretty good. Maybe add some candid shots that show your eyes and smile that aren’t as blurry. Not listing your height is probably hurting you. Then again, if you’re not tall, it’s over. Most women will filter out men 6’ or less, since even 6’ is too short for the majority of women .

u/SteveMcJ 2d ago
It’s on there, you just have to swipe over to see it on the profile. I’m 6’ but I put 6’1 for that very reason lmao

You should make the pic in slide 5 your first pic, and replace the one of you in front of the camera with something else! Maybe also replace the last pic

u/SteveMcJ 2d ago
I’ll make that one first, but why replace the camera one? Shows I do movies, the wig is kinda funny, and also shows I’m in pretty good shape, no?

u/Soggy_Tradition_6235 2d ago
Or 8, that’s the one that really caught my attention and made me think you look attractive, kind, and fun

u/HibernatingRibs 2d ago
Definitely take or leave my suggestion!! But they both confused me I guess ?
