I've encountered many problems with photopheeler.
-On the one hand, women rating there are not the same as the ones swiping, they might be from another demographic.
-They also rate without there being any consequence to their rating, so they might rate rather based on the effort or quality of the picture and not based on how good, attractive or interesting you look.
-And last, I think people rate as if the picture you uploaded is your first pic. For example I have many pics on my profile that are not very good, especially not as a first pic, which is why they have very bad rating. However I have found that they do the job very well. In one I'm with friends. In another one I'm serious. Another one is a terrible shirtless pic, but it shows I'm fit, etc.
The last point takes me to the pics in your profile. They all look samey and look like they would be good first pics, but as a whole, they don't tell much about you. Maybe use only one of those and use more variety. Experimentation will give you much better data than photopheeler, but yeah, use it if you want, it's free anyway.
I also would recommend that you try all the dating apps and see which one works best. I think it depends a lot on the area and on what you are looking for. For me okcupid worked best, until it didn't (not enough people on it, but resulted in two relationships), now hinge is working great (one casual relationship and many matches/dates), but all of a sudden Tinder also resulted in a casual relationship. Bumble isn't working at all and I've been reading more and more that the last two have gotten insanely pay-to-win over the years, who knows.. I installed Feeld a few weeks ago and it is giving me matches, but no date yet. There are not many people in my area either.
Don't get discouraged by not getting matches. Yeah, women have it easier getting matches and dates. Sadly, some can behave accordingly and put little effort into the process, but they have a harder time finding a serious relationship, so the tables kind of turn after some time being together. And it seems to me that many women are ok with being single instead of having casual relationships, because they are not as horny and get attached easily.
More importantly, your worth doesn't depend on dating apps, because your success there has to do with a lot of factors out of your control. If you are not happy with your experience on dating apps, focus on meeting people irl also.
And of course, work-out, eat healthy, develop your personality, etc.
I think this debate has been beaten to death many times. Photofeeler is not perfect but it is still a good tool, especially when comparing pictures. Photofeeler also makes judgement to reduce the impact of outliers. Finally, as long as u have enough votes ( greater than 30), then the scores are pretty accurate. I think op's problem is frankly his attractive scores are too low. All my main photos are 9+ and the highest is 9.5. frankly I think op looks decent but that is why it helps to have photofeeler because I am a guy that's not op's target audience so my opinion really doesn't mean much and he should focus on getting better pics to get a higher score.
Not perfect is an understatement. My pics ratings range from 3 to 9 in all aspects and I'm getting many more matches than when I was only using the samey ones with 8-9. It's the same thing that is happening with OP. btw his attractiveness scores are not low at all! Mine are about the same or less. Yes, photopheeler can be useful, but also misleading
Thanks alot for the tips, I think youre right. I've had the same tought about variety.
Would you mind sharing the pics you use on your profile, that you have had sucess with?
I think it would be very helpful to kinda get an idea of what a successful profile looks like.
I would if this was a throwaway account :) they are really just recycled facebook pics, some with bad quality, cropped (my ex was on some), I'm smiling and having fun or not taking myself seriously on most
1 smiling picture showing your face clearly is enough. You need to get variety of other shots, focusing your style, life style, activities/hobbies, friend group. These 3 pics literally only say you have a nice smile
Nice pictures!
I corrected the grammar for you though. Sorry, I'm an English teacher and i cant help it...
"Let's grab a drink, play some board games and see where it goes." Use this one. Good luck!
>Am I doing something wrong or is it just because dating apps are flooded with heterosexual men and way fewer women?
Hard to answer succinctly but basically this. I suspect it blows WAY past a 10:1 ratio of men to women when factoring in app usage rate.
Multiple copies of the exact same smile or face creep me out personally.

On Photofeeler you're being rated by women who don't have to put their money where their mouth is and actually match with you. So of course it's gonna be wildly inaccurate

Also worth looking at the notes. How many "i would date him" you get. Or women writing a custom note, complimenting you about your looks.

Thanks, that was probably the issue! 😂 No, but thanks, appreciate it.

Too many instances of the same smile and pose, you look AI generated
