After copying a MPUA's profile.

After trying every single opener I've stumbled across here, I can't get numbers and most girls just stop talking to me after a few messages no matter what I say.

So, obviously I need help with my looks.. like a complete and huge overhaul. My friend is a stylist and told me "Grow out your facial hair, it'll make you look older and take a little away from your nose."

Any advice on my looks?

I wouldn't worry so much about your looks, as much as what your pictures say.

All of your pictures are basically the same; boring. Put up some pictures that give you some social value and show that you are fun to be around. Right now, it looks like you just sit in a chair all day. I would lose all of your current pictures, except for the one in the military uniform.

IMO don't bother growing your facial hair: it's too sparse, and will just look untidy.
Instead, I would shave my head (not clean shaed, but number 1 cut), and get an eyebrow piercing. You have very fine features and kind of boyish looks, and need to harden it a bit.
sidnee6 advice is a good one: your pictures are too bland. Definitely keep the uniform one, but get some friends to take pics of you doing more exciting activities.
Sort of pics I would get if I were you: one in a bar, between 2 HBs ; a couple of you mountain biking or surfing, or similar ; 1 topless pic at the beach if you have a good six-pack ;one dressed up (to show you can wear a suit) and in company ; one in casual clothes and exotic location.

But the problem is not just your pics: if the girls respond at first, then stop writing, there is a weakness in your follow up messages. I'd suggest you have a look at an e-book called 'boy clicks girl" (you can google it). It trully excells on initial messages and follow up routines.

Hope this helps.
