Thanks for the tips. So I should take my own pictures with a tripod? They make them for phones? I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max, not sure if it’s the best camera but should do for now I think.
Yep, they’re standard tripods with spring mounts that your phone clips into.

You’ll need a Bluetooth remote shutter too. Those are super cheap. I set a 3s timer and hide mine in my pocket.

I got the 12 Pro specifically for the camera, it’s not DSLR quality of course but it exceeded my expectations. Nice clear detail at short range, the adjustable aperture in portrait mode is handy and night photos are a huge improvement over the 10. You can definitely get some useable shots with it with practice

Get rid of the photo with the unkempt beard and closed off body language.

Get rid of the fucking car selfie (beard looks way better)

Get rid of the photo of you sitting in a sports bar on your phone; the image you're conveying in that photo is that you're average and boring.

And are you saying that the beard in the car selfie looks better (despite the picture being a bad one) or that the longer beard looks better?

Get a mirrorless camera or DSLR, some new threads, and take better photos that convey the overlap between your true self and something that your target audience will get excited about.
So basically, keep the paddle board one and then take new ones with a new camera, following the rest of your tips?

And are you saying that the beard in the car selfie looks better or that the longer beard looks better? I know the car selfie has to go but curious which beard you were saying looks better.

Thanks man, I’ll start with that. I talked to my dad about his old camera and he still has it but you have to have the pictures developed (so I guess it’s not a dslr), but I found out the picture in my tinder was taken with portrait mode (was an iPhone 12 Pro Max). Now I see how much my pictures were a problem - I never experimented with that stuff and that first picture in the queue on my tinder has gotten me more matches, and that was just one in a restaurant which does make me look boring.

Thanks for the help, feeling optimistic.

I have the same phone, the cameras pretty capable in daylight. Use portrait mode to get that blur effect, but since it’s digital sometimes the background doesn’t get blurred right and there’s visible errors. (Also don’t bother shooting anything in lower light, it just can’t perform well). It’s not a bad place to start, but ultimately it won’t beat a proper camera.
