I'm Vincent, and I help men 10x their matches through professional dating app photos, personalized coaching, and proven strategy. As an Asian dating coach, I combine lived experience with a done-for-you system to get real results.
You’ve probably spent hours swiping with nothing to show for it.
Maybe you’ve…
👻 Matched with someone but got ghosted before the first message
🥱 Had convos that went nowhere
🗿 Got told “you seem great, just not feeling it”
🤔 Or worse… just sat there with zero matches wondering what’s wrong
Here’s the truth: if you’ve got a solid career, good intentions, and decent looks, it shouldn’t be this hard.
But dating apps are visual-first, and most guys fail on apps because their dating profile photos aren’t professional or designed to attract. Without knowing how to improve your dating profile, you end up lost in the crowd.
That’s where I come in. I help men solve the exact problem most guys could never figure out on their own.
I wasn’t a model. I wasn’t a natural. I used to be the guy swiping endlessly, getting ignored, and wondering what I was doing wrong.
So I experimented relentlessly. I tested everything: photos, outfits, bios, prompts, and messaging strategies.
What I realized is simple: online dating is just digital marketing.
Your profile is the ad.
Your photos are the thumbnail.
Your bio is the hook.
But here’s the part most people don’t talk about: I’m an Asian guy of average height. And for us, the game comes with an additional uphill battle. Negative stereotypes, cultural biases, and being a minority on dating apps all make it harder to stand out.
That’s why my system isn’t built on gimmicks or pickup lines. What I learned was necessary to overcome these hurdles.
After years of trial and error, I built a system that finally works. And now through dating coaching for men, I deliver it directly to my clients so they can skip the frustration and start seeing results right away.
You don’t need to be a model. You just need the right photos, the right profile, and the right strategy all working together.
That’s what I give you: a done-for-you system that actually gets results.
“Many of the struggles Vincent shared felt familiar to me as an Asian male, and his experiences really resonated. That’s what prompted me to reach out.”
– Alex, 26, Financial Analyst
Unlike most dating photographers, I didn’t start behind the camera. I started in the trenches like every other guy. I got into photography to fix my own dating results, and now I help men build profiles that actually convert into matches and dates.
Instead of wasting years figuring it out, you get a proven system:
📸 Professional Dating App Photos That Convert
High-converting shots planned end-to-end through outfits, locations, poses, and expressions engineered to stop the scroll and trigger attraction
🧠 Profiles That Attract
Photo order, prompts, and profile optimization that showcase your best self and pull in higher-quality matches
💬 Coaching That Closes
Real-time dating coaching for men and a proven messaging framework so you stop fumbling conversations and start setting real dates
This isn’t a “nice photoshoot.”
It’s not a pickup bootcamp or a 90-day course.
It’s a complete profile revamp and dating system designed to get results fast.
"The process was very straightforward. Vincent prepared everything in detail including outfits, locations, and poses. So even though I get nervous in front of the camera, I felt completely at ease. He also gave me messaging templates that helped with opening lines."
- Kelvin, 30, Billing Specialist
Go from struggling to maxing out matches
First day with new photos = instant fire matches
Photos designed for attraction paying their dues
Most dating coaches make you sit through 8-week or 90-day programs before you see any change. With my system, most guys see results immediately and often within 24 hours of launching their new profile. That means more matches the same day, dates within the first week, and real confidence backed by proof, not theory.
Unlike a typical “dating app photographer,” I don’t see photos as the final result. They’re just the tools. The real results are what you see here: higher-quality matches, instant attraction, and faster progress than guys ever thought possible. My system is built on execution and outcomes, not vanity shots. Here are examples of quick wins clients got right away.
🔥 Maxed out profiles on Tinder and Bumble within weeks
🔥 Got 20+ likes on Hinge overnight and 100+ Tinder matches in the first week
🔥 Found a girlfriend within a month
🔥 Hooked up multiple times while traveling
🔥 Lost virginity after years of struggling with apps

Vincent is the real deal. He 25x'd my Hinge profile match rate. I found Vincent through YouTube, and it was clear to me that he knew what he was doing. He guided me through poses, angles and expressions, and was able to get some absolute killer photos. Vincent has been an indispensable source of dating knowledge and friendship as we still stay in touch. I cannot recommend him enough.
- Ted, 27, Business Analyst
Vincent transformed my dating life. Before talking to him, I was ready to give up on online dating. Vincent was exactly the help I needed. He took meticulous care, planning and shooting photos that is tailored to attracting women. I'm already having MUCH more success, and online dating is SO much easier when your photos and profile are doing the work for you. I used to hate online dating but now I'm actually excited about it!
- John, 45, Startup Founder
Before I saw Vincent’s videos, I had no idea how to take decent photos for my online profile or how to text well. I was so impressed by his profile photos that I wanted him to take them for me. We met up in person in a big city to take multiple photos at scenic locations. We got some really good photos and upgraded my dating profile. The matches started to flood in and he coached me on how to move the matches to dates and to fun times. Vincent really knows how to make the photos look great and authentic. He truly knows how to add value to a dating profile and have people like me get ahead in the dating curve.

I’m Vincent, the founder of Based Dating. I started out just like most guys having average height, getting ignored on dating apps, and being frustrated by the stereotypes stacked against me as an Asian man.
Through years of testing photos, prompts, bios, and messaging strategies, I built a system that combines online dating photography with coaching for men. Today, I help men improve their profiles on Hinge, Tinder, and Bumble so they can finally see consistent results.
Unlike most photographers, I don’t see photos as the end result. They’re just the tools. The real results are the matches, dates, and relationships my clients create.
I’ve worked with men in major cities across the country from tech hubs to competitive dating markets. Whether you’re in Portland, Seattle, LA, San Francisco, Vegas, or New York City, the process is the same: proven photos, profile optimization, and coaching that gets results fast.
Many clients even fly me out because results matter more than location. And no matter where we shoot, I adapt the photos and strategy to your lifestyle so you can stand out in your local dating scene.

No, you don’t need model looks. What you need are the right photos, profile, and strategy. Most of my clients are normal guys who go from zero results to dates within days.
And if you’ve managed to get matches or dates in the past, that’s actually a great sign. It means there’s already potential. With my system, we can take that momentum and turn it into consistent, high-quality results.
Yes. While my story resonates with Asian men, I’ve worked with clients of every background who struggled with dating apps. The system works because it’s built on human psychology, not gimmicks.
That’s exactly why I direct every pose and setup. Most of my clients felt the same way at first and they end up saying the shoot was way easier and more fun than they expected.

Most clients start seeing new matches the very first day their revamped profile goes live. Many line up their first date within the first week.
No. I travel frequently and also adapt shoots based on your city and lifestyle. I’ve helped clients across the U.S. (and beyond) get results fast.
Because a regular photographer will give you nice photos, but not results. I specialize in dating profile photography designed to perform on apps like Hinge, Tinder, and Bumble. That’s why clients call me a results-based dating app photographer, not just a guy with a camera.
