Rate me out of 10? (Picture included)

5 or 6 in this pic. Another topic I saw you in, you looked better.

That's the thing about pictures, they're a 2d image and thus not super accurate...
I've seen girls who looked hot in real life but very average in photo's. I've seen girls who look very plain in real life but hot in photo's.

You seem to ask for a lot of advice but what advice have you implemented since last time you asked advice?

your hairline is on the ropes but other than that good, strong 7

I’m pretty insecure right now so just been experimenting more - don’t seem to get much luck when I’ve tried Tinder which is also concerning.

I’m not very photogenic and don’t seem to take good photos, particularly as I absolutely hate my smile. So you say it could vary from anywhere from a 5-7 effectively?

I’ve tried to go to the gym more which people suggested and experimented with my hair now but it clearly doesn’t work based on what people are saying! Also updated my wardrobe but still just want to feel more confident.

How much girls have you hit on outside of online dating? and how did you meet them?

and tbh, pictures can vary a huge amount ..that I can't put a number on it.
angles/lighting/shaddows/quality/bone structure of the camera etc......, all play a part in how it turns out.

You have a baby face, good in long term. Pretty average looking

I’ve not really tried to hit on a lot of girls as don’t have the confidence and pretty insecure so turned to online dating as there’s less actual approaching and thought it would boost my confidence.

Had the opposite effect unfortunately as don’t get any matches and considering people on here have said I’m good looking and have nothing to worry about it’s confusing.

Best advice I can give is go see your doctor about your balding hair. They can recommend ways to stop balding.

Knock up a fake profile of a fat ugly girl on tinder and note how much attention she gets and you'll see why you're not getting any dates.

A growing problem on here I see with young males these days is that due to online dating apps their balls never drop and they just stay online in their comfort zone, not putting themselves out there, swiping on girls because it's "easy" and you don't feel the rejection like you do if you had to approach her in real life.

I'll tell you right now. A fat obese facially unattractive girl can get a guy significantly better looking than you to meet up with her on Tinder. She will be getting hundreds of matches a week in a big city. That being said, why is an attractive girl going to pick to meet up with YOU?

You need to find your balls and start talking to women in real life. Internet dating is very competitive, and clearly not working for you.

Why’s that good in long term?

And suppose average isn’t bad? Just difficult to stand out from the crowd perhaps - maybe why my main problem is going for girls way out of my league and more attractive than me? Or nothing wrong with that?

Ouch 😂

I thought it was bad but perhaps that’s a bit early for that? Gotta love the Student Room though haha.

Yes I've edited my comment before I saw your reply. you will age better basically. Average means you won't be at a disadvantage in attracting a mate but you won't be at an advantage. Don't do online dating.

You cant regrow your lost hair so -best time to stop balding is as early as possible.

Suppose you’re right and I do just need to put myself out there but effectively what you’re saying is that if you’re an average or even good looking male, online dating is too hard and rarely going to have much success with it?

I just could never approach a random girl at like a coffee shop or something and clubbing isn’t going to lead to anything substantial I wouldn’t have thought.

Online dating is mostly a womans market. I'd say unless you are 8+ in your pics, online dating isn't worth doing in most areas if you want to find a decent looking girl. In a few areas the women have lower standards I notice. but most areas they have very high standards.

and at 19 you should be networking and meeting new people through your uni/college friends. try to meet a girl through there.

also tbh if I was 19 i'd just hit on 16 or 17 year olds at the shopping mall or something. Girls of that age arn't going to get hit on that much because they can't go clubbing, and can't use dating sites. Thus they won't be as picky as girls with more options. You might approach a 7/10 17 year old in the mall and it's the first or second time she's been hit on this year.

but if you're hitting on 19 year old girls, they're clubbing like twice a week, and some are on Tinder. you're probably like the 100th guy or something that's hit on them this year [in person], and if she's on an online dating site you're probably at least like the 500th guy hitting on them this year.

6.5 / 10

I love that smile ✨ you’re a solid 8 to me
