AtlantisGuy hopefully your photographer helps you out with this, but you’ll want your facial expressions to be on point during the shoot. Easiest way to do this is to get yourself into a confident mindset and give the camera that knowing smirk. Good luck on your shoot, my results pre and post shoot...

Thanks guys! I hear what you're saying. But I've had girls comment on 3 more than any other pic (I guess some girls really like cowboy hats lmao). One or two commented on 6. I feel you on 7 though. I need some good physique pics that aren't mirror selfies. I'd like to replace that one with a pro sh...

Check out https://www.clocksandcolours.com/ too. Their stuff has a lot of edge.

I see you live in the US. The CDC said yesterday that vaccinated people don’t need to wear masks anymore. If someone is wearing a mask outside they are probably vaccinated too, so I don’t they would be freaked out if you approached them.

@Ed_ why don’t you like the squat/deadlift focus of starting strength?

I have a very similar Orient watch myself and love it because it is versatile. You can dress it up or go casual with it. One thing to note though is that it is an automatic watch. The watch gets its power from movement, so if you don’t wear it every day it will stop and you will have to reset the ti...

I live in Dallas but I wouldn’t say I go out frequently, especially right now.

I think stylistically your outfit is fine for the occasion, but to me the fit on the jeans looks off in the photo. They look like they are bunching up at the knees which is making your legs look funky. You might need to look at a different brand of jeans. Personally, I like Revtown jeans because the...

I didn’t start working out to have an impressive physique, I started working out to get strong. Tbh, it was a grind until I started seeing results, then I got addicted to the process. There is a major high to seeing progress. Also, find the thing that works for you. For me it was CrossFit, the group...

I’ve gotten the “Let me give you advice, don’t call a girl sexy” response to the opening line a few times. I just chalk it up to the fact the girl is probably frustrated to still be online dating (it’s usually a girl in their early 30s) and move on.

arcade_fireee I think you’d get a lot out of reading Models by Mark Manson. You can be nice but also express yourself honestly. For example, if you find a girl to be attractive and you tell her that, you aren’t being a nice guy. A nice guy wouldn’t come out and say that for fear of offending her by...

Even if the city institutes a lockdown, aren't there less liberal suburbs close by where things will be more open? I'm not looking for some utopia where things stays open (like New Hampshire or South Dakota) -- I just need gyms, places to take dates, and some places to keep approaching women. Enoug...

I wouldn’t put Austin at an A when it comes to lockdowns. Texas is a mess right now. If the Governor allowed it, the local government in Austin would have already instituted a lockdown. People are getting desperate because they need to but are scared to send their kids to school. Overall though, Aus...

Minor quibble but the “Don’t be afraid to say hey” piece was only meant for Bumble. Since you can (and should) message first on Tinder, it doesn’t make as much sense.

Tinder and Hinge I’m at around 10% though it’s a small sample size so far. (Not counted the couple of girls who tried to educate me that I shouldn’t call a girl sexy)

I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing (while improving my photos) and hopefully the response rate picks up.
