I'm getting much better results on tinder with the same exact pics, and a few short sentences in the description field. I got some professional help to write my profile, and maybe I got too much text (it was bigger, was reduced in content at some point last year)
I have little dating experience, I'm not aiming to get laid non-stop, just to get some dates.
This profile got me only 3 first dates (one lay) since last summer.
Tinder profile got me 9 first dates (one lay) since last summer with the same photos with much less texting effort.
I also paid $130 to get professional pics, I use two photos from that photoshoot on both okc and tinder.
EDIT: on Tinder I'm considering to try setting my age 28 instead of 32; I was told I look 28 several times recently.
