Why New York Men Struggle on Dating Apps
Why New York Men Struggle on Dating Apps
In New York City, dating is fast-paced, ambitious, and always moving. Most guys either oversell with stiff, corporate-style headshots or undersell with casual, low-effort selfies. Neither works in a city where women are swiping quickly and judging presentation in seconds.

Why Work With a Dating Photographer in NYC Who Gets the City’s Energy
That’s where hiring a dating photographer in NYC makes all the difference. Shooting in iconic but swipe-tested spots like the High Line, downtown rooftops, or the financial district shows charisma and ambition without feeling forced. The right photo lineup balances polish with personality, which is exactly what works in New York’s hyper-competitive dating pool.
If You're Not Getting Matches, You're Not Alone
If You're Not Getting Matches, You're Not Alone
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
In NYC, people swipe fast. If your profile doesn’t grab attention immediately, you’ll get overlooked in seconds.
If you’ve got decent looks, a solid job, and good intentions, then it shouldn’t be this hard.
But it is, and it's not because you’re not good enough...
But because dating apps are visual first and most guys have no idea how to present themselves well.

I Had to Figure This Stuff Out the Hard Way
I Had to Figure This Stuff Out the Hard Way
Most guys know they should have great photos, a magnetic profile, and a solid messaging plan, but they don’t know what that looks like and why it matters.
The thing is, online dating is just digital marketing.
Your profile is the ad. Your photos are the thumbnail. Your bio is the hook.
As an Asian dating coach, I’ve worked with men in New York who were frustrated that their career success didn’t translate into dating results. I know the unique challenges ambitious, introverted, or overworked guys face in this city, and I built Based Dating to help.
I know because I used to be the guy who got ignored and believed I had “decent” photos and a normal profile.
So I experimented relentlessly and tested just about everything: photos, outfits, prompts/bios, swiping strategies, and locations.
And after all of that, I recognized what you need to do to win.
You don’t need to be a model.
You just need a profile that shows you at your best in a way that connects with the kind of women you actually want.
What You Get With My Dating App Photography & Coaching
What You Get With My Dating App Photography & Coaching
Unlike most online dating photographers, I didn’t start behind the camera. I started in the trenches just every other guy.
I got into photography solely for the reason of improving my own online dating results.
And now I help men right here in New York City and beyond build high-converting dating profiles that actually get them dates and take things as far as they'd like.
Learn how the full transformation process works here.
In New York City, my go-to shoot spots include Central Park, Brooklyn rooftops, the High Line, and the financial district, which are places that showcase confidence, lifestyle, and ambition.
Everything I do is based on years of testing and refining what actually works so you don’t have to figure things out the hard way.
That includes:
📸 A Custom Photoshoot – Swipe-tested photos at NYC backdrops (Central Park, rooftops, city streets, finance district) designed to get high-quality matches
🧠 Optimized Profile Setup – Photo order, prompts creation, and a bio that speaks for you and is designed to stand out and attract
💬 Lifetime Messaging Support – On-demand help with convos and texting so you can stop fumbling leads and start setting real dates
This isn’t a generic photoshoot just for getting "high quality" photos.
It’s not a pickup bootcamp or some 90 day course with modules.
It’s a full stack dating profile revamp built to get you real results in no time.
The Results Speak for Themselves

"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 New York 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."

"Vincent transformed my dating life. Before talking to him, I was ready to give up on online dating. It was so FRUSTRATING, and I knew I could do better but I needed help from someone experienced. Vincent was exactly the help I needed. He took meticulous care, planning and shooting photos that showed me off in a way that is tailored to attracting women, taking into account my style and personality. He also helped fix up my dating profile and he helps out with message suggestions whenever I get stuck and don't know what to say to a girl. 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'm getting frequent, fun, and successful dates, and I feel like this is only the beginning. I used to hate online dating but now I'm actually excited about it!"

"Vincent is the real deal. He 25x'd my Hinge profile match rate. After researching dozens of lackluster dating photographers, I found Vincent through YouTube, and it was clear to me that he knew what he was doing.
We scheduled a photoshoot and went through outfit plus location planning. I then met up with Vincent and spent an afternoon taking photos while having good conversation. Vincent guided me through poses, angles and expressions, and was able to get some absolute killer photos.
After the shoot, Vincent guided me through a full profile revamp. He provided prompts, photo editing and ordering, and text conversation coaching. In addition, Vincent has been an indispensable source of dating knowledge and friendship as we still stay in touch. I cannot recommend him enough."
Where I Work with Clients
Where I Work with Clients
I work with men throughout New York City, from Manhattan and Brooklyn to Queens and beyond.
In NYC, I often shoot in Central Park, on rooftops, and in the financial district, which are locations that show confidence and ambition in a way women respond to.
I've done shoots in major cities such as:
📍 Portland, Oregon (Currently based)
🗽 New York City, New York
And I've worked with guys who made their way to me all the way from Canada, Houston, and Miami.
