I'd say "All good, feel better. When you're up to meeting, let me know." Then I'd move on and focus on other women. Reach out again in 5 days or so, and if she's not hard-yes for a date, then I'd delete.
What could i have done better?
Nothing . You don't second guess yourself just because 1 woman is sick or loses interest. Operating from a place of fear or holding onto past experiences will make you less attractive. Operate from a place of confidence.
A lot of these look posed and a bit too serious. You want to look like you're in the moment, engaged in whatever you're doing and having fun.
For now, I'd take 9564 from the first shoot. From the second shoot, I'm not sure, maybe 9586?
I'd add a bit more edge to your style. A different shirt. A necklace. Replacing the smartwatch with a traditional watch.
I'd still cut it. I think you should go for a little bit of a edge. Basically, go for the pics that women who have had sex with you in the past would say is hot. Not the pics that your parents would think are cute. You are good looking and have a great body. You can look like a GQ model with the right outfits, locations, lighting.
If you can, maybe you could photoshop your family out of pic 5, and keep that temporarily until you get a better outdoors photo.
#1 - Replace it. You should give off fun date vibes - not mom's graduation pic vibes.
#2 - Great photo if you're looking for casual. If you want long-term, I'd probably get a candid shirtless beach or pool photo.
#3 - Good
#4 - Replace it. Bad pic quality.
#5 - Replace it. Your face isn't in the photo
#6 - I think the gun photo and (to some extent) the lamborhini photo are "male gaze" - not "female gaze". Aka they make you more attractive to men, but not as much for women. Unless you're hard-screening for conservative gun-owning women and are okay with excluding others, I'd cut the gun pic.
I think you have room to update your wardrobe and style. Give it a bit of sleekness and edge.
imo, way too much chatting before the first meet. too much investment for someone you dont know
Replace pic 4 (youre backlit) and pic 6 (sunglasses, weird selfie + this pic doesn't do anything)
Depends on your area, but overall age <40 women lean liberal.
If you want long-term relationship, list your political views. If you want casual, don't.
I agree with alivench that having someone take your photos is better than tripod. You should book a photographer and find friends who are good at pics.
But I also believe you should do the best you can with what you have in the meantime. Tripod pics are better than selfies. And if your profile is below avg, you can at least get to slightly above avg with the tools you have right now.
Though a 1-foot tripod severely limits your options. How you angle the camera and where you place it, so that you get the lighting on your face is really important. It better if you had a tall one so you can get a shot at eye-level, at whatever location and angle you want.
It helps to have 1-2 phone photos so that you look real. But good quality ones - not selfies.
