What to do during the pandemic?

[lutz]

Hello.

Because of the pandemic I haven't met any girl since February.

All activities where I could meet girls are closed in my hometown.

I tried Tinder, but I don't get matches because I don't have good pictures of myself.

I don't have an Instagram account as well.

Stop making excuses is what you can do. "I haven't met any girl since February" is not the issue. The excuse of because the pandemic is. Sure, that's made it harder to go out and meet them, but you know obviously know that there are other ways. For instance...
"I tried Tinder" is another way to meet girls but "I don't get matches because I don't have good pictures of myself" is an excuse for why you aren't getting results. Why aren't you using any apps that don't require you to match to start a conversation? Why aren't you going outside and getting some quality pictures so you can match.

You won't get anywhere without effort.

Any ideas? What have most men done?

The use of protective mask is mandatory here. They also removed benches from malls.
The strategy is very different and I haven't found resources to learn it.

The pictures are still very important because she will only talk if she likes my profile.
Definitely the pictures are the only things that matter.

I have never had a life with parties and adventurous things, then I can't get pictures.

Actually online game is more difficult.

What most men do right now is talk to women while wearing a mask if they have to. You don't need a bench to talk to them.

I hate it when guys say online game is hard. It's pretty simple. Go to the park and have a friend take a picture of you. Walk down the middle of the street and have a friend take a picture of you. Go stand in front of a local landmark and have a friend take a picture of you. Just make sure you make sure you are looking the best that you can and what's appropriate for the environment of the picture. These girls are giving themselves away right now. They are putting on their profiles that they are looking for someone to cuddle with during the pandemic. I don't generally like online but right now the girls are easier. All you have to do is present yourself well and they'll do the rest of the work for you.

No it’s not.

from your text it seems that you use them; given this, your post would be a lot more useful if you actually provided some links to apps to install that you found worth the effort

I've mainly used tinder and haven't had any problems.  However, the OP says that he doesn't get any matches on tinder because he doesn't have any good pictures.  I suggested that he uses the sites that don't require matching because he can at least try opening the women without requiring him to match up with him first.  POF and OKCupid are good for that. 

Keep in mind, I find it suspicious when a guy says if it weren't for "X" I'd have no problem with meeting women.  In this case, it's the pandemic.  I agree that the pandemic is a problem and it does make it harder but the OP continued on and took his online option away.  I could be wrong, but that seems like an excuse for not trying.  When he dismissed the idea of my statement in what you quoted above he still made an excuse for why it won't work instead of actually trying.  If he tried, he'd probably figure out that pandemics make strippers humble.

The reality is, for online, it is 90% looks and the rest is what is in your profile and what you send them.

Photos are very very import. Social proof (at least one photo with others) and other recent photos with you at your best. So tidy hair, smart clothing (designer clothing, ironed of course) a good smile, with at least one showing a good set of teeth, as women are suckers for a good smile. Also consider your environment, photos at home in your bedroom won't cut the mustard.

Your presentation needs to be spot on, so avoid selfies. Also update photos and your profile bio regularly, as they can tell if you have been on there for a while.



If after doing all that, then it becomes a numbers game. If your looks are average or below, you will have a hard time.

Define “average” look? Who’s average?

What’s attractive to one woman is often unattractive to the next.

There are plenty and I MEAN PLENTY of resources online to beef up your profile REGARDLESS of what you look like. (I actually have a guide myself for free if ya want it)

My dude. I agree with the rest there is always something that you can do.

And about the pandemic. NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO GET ACTION actually I now have a legit reason to skip the dates and go straight to my place 😂

I also struggle with chatting via *deleted app name* especially paying one also free one instead of being fun its struggle.

To answer the question.

I found a girlfriend
I also found ways to grow my business, get back into the gym, and connect with an old friend.

It's not a reason to stop living life.
