Hi Michael,
Selfies on a dating profile are a huge turn off because they are considered lazy and trashy.
Quite a few men experience the same problem that you are having when it comes to the photos that they have available to post to their dating profile. They just have selfies. But the problem isn’t as complicated as you think.
Even though your friends don’t share the same love of your hobbies, there are other people who do. Don’t be afraid to expand your network of friends.
This is something that is easily done by meeting new people who congregate to participate in the hobbies that you love or who love visiting the favorite places that you frequent. Instead of always going to these locations by yourself, seek out groups that have the same interests that you do.
They are easily found in Facebook groups, Meetup groups, forum communities, etc. Befriend these people and meet up with them at these venues. In these environments, it will be natural for them to take pictures of you participating in a hobby that you enjoy.
That’s it.
Now, instead of a whole bunch of selfies in your dating profile, you have lots of energetic pictures of you involved in your hobbies, taken by your newly found friends.
Try doing this.
It will do wonders for your dating profile and get you so many more matches.
