Hey /adv/, I decided to try online dating about a month ago and I posted here for advice about my profile. Since then, I started trying a lot harder and now I wanna know what you think again.

I have 7 pics now, 2 of which are selfies at home and the rest are either outdoors or out with friends.

Any advice or criticism?

Can you at least take a pic of yourself outdoors and with a different style of hair instead of lego combover. Act a bit dynamic in your pictures like you're actually taking a pic of yourself while out there and doing something.

I did that, I just thought I should use a normal bathroom selfie for my main picture like everyone else on the site

This. Your combover is unattractive. You could be way more attractive if you had any idea what to do with your hair.
>>
>>16825846
You have chosen the worst picture of yourself for the main picture.
>like everyone else
You aren't trying to be 'everyone else'.

uh ok, what should I do to it then

I like it, particularly the last line. The only thing I would suggest is include a non-digital interest. I don't love the line about being a critical thinker/realist (what do you mean by realist? Philosophical realism? it is trite imo) but I don't have any suggestions and it isn't terrible.

Your pictures sound reasonable. Have you had any success?

>>16825851
First of all smile instead if give a creepy stare at the camera. Second of all stop trying to matte your hair down. Give it volume, shape. The part itself isn't bad. Layer your hair.

Your hair is fine, but if you want to change the style, go to a stylist.

I didn't get a single message for the first few weeks, but I only started trying harder about a week ago. I did finally get a message yesterday, but I messaged her back and she hasn't replied to that yet. She's kinda butt, too desu

I'm just trying to say I'm an intellectual and a skeptic, but every way I say it seems wrong. I guess I'll just have to omit that idea entirely. Thanks senpai

Be specific. What do you do to be creative? An example or two that goes beyond the straight-forward descriptors would give more opportunity to connect to you.

Picture lower on the list--plaid shirt and vest? More fun than your bathroom selfie (as far as bathroom selfies...no no no no no).
>>
>>16825883
Hm, could you give examples instead of saying it outright? Like... maybe you enjoy discussing some intellectual topic, like life on other planets, but you also enjoy debating the best kind of pizza? That isn't amazing but maybe it will inspire another idea.

One pic is totally enough! Don't ever tell to much about urself at beginning a blind date

The only plaid I'm wearing in those is the green shirt fishing. Do you mean the last picture? The guy on the right is my roommate

Anyway, how's this?

please tell me more about how you speak C++

That bottom line alone screams narcissist who thinks he knows everything or guy who is way too into coding to be fun.
>>
>>16825935
C++ was a joke, I thought it was pretty obvious.

And what bottom line, this?
>Planning to start my software development business (someday)

Is that really so threatening? I said someday, implying it might not even happen

I love being creative. When I was younger I [painted], now I express my creativity through making software like websites and windows apps. On weekends I like to get together with friends and see a movie, hit the arcade, or watch a fun TV series together - [I just finished...] [I'm in the middle of...]. I love exploring and I've been around the world, but I also love fishing at [my local] beach.

My friend who's got his Pharm.D and is going back for his MD is one of the smartest people I know. He's also one of the most ignorant and least intellectual I know.

Different people have different tastes. Diversity keeps things interesting. None of us are going to date him, but let's help our li'l bro present his best self for some nice young lady who thinks he is cool.

>smartest
>least intellectual

Also what's your point?
