it's not a shit test - you tried number closing prematurely(tell her where you're taking her), and then used that line way too quickly and aggressively with the period at the end. She called you out correctly because you come across as needy and butthurt. This one is probably dead, I'd move on.
I live in a similar situation. For the apps, I used to set the radius to the city but give priority to the matches in my town and surrounding area. There's no downside to getting matches further away and it helps the algorithm, but the logistics are much more difficult and require high investment. You can use these matches to practice having conversations though - you won't really care if you screw up and you'll build confidence.
The meta in smaller places is going out and having hobbies where you can meet new people and make friends. You'll end up meeting a lot more women that way. Don't go out being gamey or having expectations - just have fun.
gl bro
That specific pic won't but if you're shirtless bc you're somewhere it's normal to be shirtless(pool or beach) you can get away with it. Would try to avoid until you've got a little more definition though
All your photos and bio really show is that you love to travel. That's awesome but it can't be everything. Improve the pics for sure, but mix in being with friends/animals, looking professional, chilling in a local pub... whatever. Use the prompts to have fun and show what you're about... I'm guessing you have a story or two from your travels - hook them in.
you're a good looking and fit guy. I think tweaking the pics will go further than cleaning up the bio. RN you come across as a finance bro without actually conveying wealth in your pics(IE: being at a nice steakhouse, driving a nice car, travelling somewhere exotic or exclusive) so I don't think your niche maxing if that's your goal. Lean into it if you want to go that way. If you're going for one nights, having the bit about "not afraid of commitment" needs to be removed.
Otherwise, I'd soften your profile by using pics of you looking more relaxed and having fun. Use a taekwondo photo instead of putting it in the bio, take a cool selfie of you crushing a run or whatever you do for fitness, use another travel pic in there. Another pic with some buddies would be good too. Your goal is to show as many sides of yourself as possible in 5-6 pics instead of telling them in the bio. If you do cool stuff and are successful, show them!
ask her out. hit her up this weekend. she's expecting you to make a move!
I used to do the same thing - consider which day is best for her, and try to make plans around it. Even though it's considerate, it's not attractive. In the future, pick a time(let's do Sunday, I'm free before/after X) - it lets her know you're busy, and your time is valuable. If you don't value your own time, she won't.
As for this "I can't do tomorrow, but how's Sunday at X? The boba at Y slaps"
set up the date
"you seem like just my type"
