If you are not a good looking guy Online dating is a waste of time. Here is an example of how easy it is to get a girls number with no game just good looking pictures.
My self-summary
Long story short, I'm pretty laid back and chill but when it's time for work and play I'm always up and moving. I would love to continue talking about myself but where is the mystery and fun in that.
Me:How you doing? Hey, I'd love to grab coffee sometime...Happy New yr
Her:Sure, i would join . Happy new year too
Me:What's your number I'll shoot you a text/call after New yrs...Have an awesome night.
Her: xxx-xxx-xxxx
Now sure you can get girls online but not the ones you're attracted to. Most of the girls you're attracted to you have to come up with something witty to catch their attention and still they may not reply. When they do reply it's usually once.
The point is your profile picture determines whether you're successful or not. If you're not good looking avoid selfies at all cost and stick with pictures that show of your fun side.
