Why San Francisco Men Struggle on Dating Apps
Why San Francisco Men Struggle on Dating Apps
In San Francisco, dating often feels like a startup pitch. Everyone is ambitious, tech-driven, and short on time. On Hinge, Tinder, and Bumble, that leads to profiles that look too professional or too casual, making it hard to stand out.
Your photos and profile need to show personality and confidence, not just credentials.
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 San Francisco, a lot of profiles look like LinkedIn headshots or conference selfies, which are great for work but terrible for dating.
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 ambitious professionals in San Francisco who were frustrated that their success at work didn’t translate into dating app results. I know those challenges first-hand, and I built Based Dating to help men win in cities like SF.
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 San Francisco 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 San Francisco, my go-to spots include Golden Gate Park, Mission District murals, the Marina waterfront, and rooftop skyline views, which are locations that highlight personality and lifestyle in a way that performs on dating apps.
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 San Francisco backdrops (Golden Gate Park, Mission District murals, rooftops) designed to attract 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

"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!"

"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."

"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 as a Dating Profile Photographer
Where I Work as a Dating Profile Photographer
I work with men across San Francisco and the greater Bay Area, as well as clients nationwide.
In SF, I often shoot in Golden Gate Park, Mission murals, and along the Marina, which are locations that reflect confidence, creativity, and lifestyle while standing out in swipe-heavy apps.
I've done shoots in major cities such as:
📍 Portland, Oregon (Currently based)
🌉 San Francisco, California
And I've worked with guys who made their way to me all the way from Canada, Houston, and Miami.
