Should I always have a suit on for a dating profile to get more dates?

You look really great in a suit. You could put one picture of yourself in a suit, but always include another one of you in casual wear. From my own personal experience in the past, for some reason when I saw a profile picture of a man in a suit, it actually sort of turned me off. I prefer someone down to earth who looks relaxed and casual, to hang out with, but that's just me. I just feel like one does not have to go to special measures but just be themselves as they are in everyday life. On the flip side of that, it is very nice that a gentleman does think enough of himself to look his best. You look very handsome. Go with your gut. If you feel more comfortable wearing a suit for your profile or whatever, then go for it. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. It's just that when I was dating, I always looked for the casual look and felt more comfortable with that, as I felt they were being more themselves, yet that doesn't necessarily mean that they are not being themselves, if they are wearing a suit. It was just me. I felt it was less pretentious perhaps and that they could just relax and be themselves and be fine with that. As long as you're not dressing up to be a people pleaser, I think it's great. But wow! Do you look handsome!! hahaha
You're lucky I'm not your age. I would scarf you up, before somebody else had the chance. 馃槀馃槀馃槀馃槀

@justanothername the only time do get to put on a suit with vest and tie is for interviews
@justanothername Agree. Just a bit too formal. But still looks great.

@Kidsarentalright so my recommendation would be less if the fornall. Casual is better.

I haven鈥檛 dated in 30 years but here are my thoughts. You look great, but if you are going to wear a suit (don鈥檛 think it is needed though) I agree with Lamont that a little tailoring goes a long way. It can only help. I would let the smile rip and turn slightly sideways rather than a straight on pose. Best of luck to you.

Keep the first one, then add one in your casual clothes. And especially an outside daylight picture. Remember to smile. No sunglasses or hats. Don't hide.

@MyNameIsHurl will having a suit on in my dating profile get me more chances of getting a girlfriend?

@Kidsarentalright Im not sure, I don't use those
@Kidsarentalright Not necessarily. If a person has good hygiene and is clean looking, as you certainly appear, a suit is not necessarily necessary. If that makes sense. Haha A person should accept you for who you are, not what you're wearing, however, good hygiene and cleanliness is important.

Lighter color shirt. Drop the vest. Get some tailoring done to the suit.
@LamontCranston Well you're right he doesn't really need the vest, but if that's what he likes and that's what he should wear. I think the color of the suit is great. He is lighter skinned and if he puts on a real pale colored suit, he would still look great, no matter what he puts on, but it may make him look a little washed out in skin color. Comparing to a lighter colored suit, instead of very light suit, he could maybe go down a shade or two but not too dark and that would look great as well. I think his shirt looks great and depending on the time of year, he has exactly the right colored shirt on for winter. People usually wear darker clothes in the winter I noticed, but whether he wears a light or dark colored shirt really makes no difference as he will look great no matter what. And he doesn't need a tailored suit for heaven's sake. Yes it would look great but he looks just as good the way he is. His physique is great and that makes the suit look great. Just my humble opinion. Hahaha Comfort is where it's at. Sloppy, no. Comfortable, yes.

@LadyGrace My reference to color was only to the shirt. The dark shirt is something that Hollywood actors affect. The suit color is fine. Some adjustments could be made to make the suit fit better and look more "tailored".
I will be happy, as the quintessential man-about-town, to give the OP some advice if he wishes.
