I wouldn't mind some constructive criticism.



I've been doing OK. I get a good amount of 7's and below, only one or two 8's a month, and I'm not matching any 9's and 10's.

I know I have some pics that have already been discussed (i.e. Girls half cut out of pics, selfies, average pic quality for some)

I would like to elevate my online game though, as I feel like I have currently hit a ceiling.

The best profile picture I have ever seen had a picture of his dick, printed out on a tshirt, and he was wearing the tshirt.

I doubt he got many hits, but it was fucking hilarious.

Great post Pebble-

I can pick up 10's in real life with day and night game. But when it comes to online game I find it hard to get that quality. Can you please comment- Thx

Man your dress sense really is pretty awesome, Pebble. I love Tinder, and get tons of matches, but recently I've been having a hard time getting dates, especially with the very hot ones. But Im still fuck buddies with one Tinder lay, so all is good. hehe

Only thing I'm wondering about: I got rather the short end of the stick (bout 5'7, 5'8 if you're really generous), still looking for a good way to screen a girl's height bevor the meet up. Ended up with a lady, who was a good 6ft, which was a bit embarrasing to be honest. My Tinder-fuckybuddy is taller than me as well, so it can work out fine, but I'm still kind of bothered by that.
Any suggestions?

Cheers bro

Height, there is not much you can do about. You could be a bit cheeky and add an inch or 2 with those heel lift shoes, it is after all equally the same as when women use makeup.

Or

You could filter/polarise, if you look at my profile, i have put my height in there, I have had a few girls that i texted for a long time, only to find out 2 days before the date, she asked my height and turns out we were the same height (but she always wears high heel shoes so..) - she flaked.

To be honest, I don't think I have ever laid a girl taller than me, Not to say it's impossible, evidently not. But majority girls just tend to go for taller guys.

Think of it like this, if you put your height in your profile, you will get those girls who think height is important to skip your profile, It is the same as real life, a girl who thinks height is an issue, they will blow you out or show disinterest, This is good news and give you more time to find the girls that dig you.

Filter filter filter!

You're 5ft 7! There are plenty of girls that will be still smaller than you, even with heels - 5ft 7 is still above the below average threshold, I would say 5ft 4 is the borderline where it could be a big problem and would need to compensate with other values.

Honestly, I'm more comfortable with shorter girls too, I had one girl who was like 4-5 inches taller than me. That was pretty awkward, but 1,2 inches isn't too bad. But than again, at your height that would mean about 6ft, and that's a bit on the freakish side.
It's not though. Cause in RL I can work "my magic" instantly and get over the height thing most of the time, pretty easily. But in online dating it's way easier for a girl to filter you out over little things and there is no PUA trick in the book to help that. 95& of girls are gonna swipe left if they see my height, alot of whom I could probably get in a real life situation. Yeah, in normal game I'm fine with my height. Sure a couple of inches would certainly help but it's not that big a deal. Online game though, whole different field.

I mean, sure, I wouldn't have a problem positing my height, but I'm certain no 8-10 would swipe right. And I'm not on Tinder to go for fattys and weirdos (alright, I love me a weirdo ).

Then get shoes to add height and gets pics while you're wearing them. Then post your shoed height, instead of barefoot.

I don't know about your country, but in America, most guys state their height as what they are in boots. I started noticing this around high school, when I was the short dude on the basketball team at 5'10" barefoot, yet taller than guys claiming to be 6'. I now state I'm 6'2" even though I'm a half inch under 6', while barefooted. When I go out, my head does goes up to 6'1" most of the time, since any shoe adds an inch and plenty add 2+(not even special shoes). And girls cannot tell the difference between 6'1 and 6'2. Not unless she's 6', herself.

Do you even notice a difference? 6 vs 6'2" is hardly any difference online from my tests.

I've been saying I'm 6'2" since before I got out of high school(10 years ago). I don't have any point of reference for 6'.

My main point in that, was to tell him to just bump his height up a few inches. 5'7" can be a killer for some girls. Even very short ones. Once she's out with him, it's not going to rule him out. Even if she can clearly see, he isn't 5'9"(though most girls are poor judges of height).

Gamb1t I generally like your profile, although i think you should make the one of you playing the guitar your main pic, as someone on Tinder who's scrolling through and just swiping, that picture will make you stand out! Don't think there's many guys who's pic is of them playing guitar

Same with the first person who posted their profile, there's nothing in the picture that makes you stand out from the crowd, at least with the Bruce Lee pic there's something that can start a conversation. Otherwise think about it from the girls point of view, what can she really say to you to start a conversation with your other pic besides "Hey".

Very interesting. Thank you all for your input. The on-line approach is my current M.O. due to just getting back into the game after a LONG LONG departure. Success has been painfully minimal, and I can see why! So now I go to upgrade my photos (of quality) and rework my profile a bit. At first date meets I don't have any problems...BUT...selection of dates has been poor because I feel the need to date anything to get back up to speed. Practice makes perfect right? WRONG. These dates so far have been like poor rehearsals, and I have to say at this point my confidence is quite low, not to mention feeling 'weird' on day game approaches. Let me say I am 55 years old, living in England, and maybe the oldest PUA ever? (lol) but anyway.....I think it's best to restart at the beginning so I have brushed up on theory and have begun using preliminary approach (simple) methods. But I feel 'weird' once opening is over and onto the first kino stage (plus eliciting values). It's a defo SP. I find it hard to think about A, the conversation (which goes well in most cases) and B, what I should be doing (kino timing etc). With each no number close situation the 'weirdness' multiplies and I lower my game back to 4's & 5,s which just pisses me off. Soooooo...this is why I am at the on-line stage. I guess it IS a handicap right now, but I feel it does have potential so thanks again guys, and if anyone has any anti-weird advice I am all ears.

How about this? Can anyone recommend what filters, what to crop, or what to touch up? I've included the original and my edit. Also, should I use the full SPAM picture or is that too try hard?

Original


Touched Up

A lot better, not perfect though, weak body language, pic looks a little grainy. Use the 2nd pic for sure for now. Keep trying and trying till you get it perfect. Perhaps hire someone with a good DSR camera from Craig's list.

Pick a profile that has your shoulders and head as your profile picture, THEN use the pic with the full body shot.

7/10

The SPAM pic, I am not sure if I like it or not, i think a lot of people get too obsessed on the preselections pics. I would test it on your 'Moments' and see how many girls 'like' it. Also on Facebook if you don't mind it.

If it was me, I wouldn't show any girls on it where I am the centre of the attention. Looks too try hard imo.
