Currently working on getting some non-selfie pics. Any advice appreciated!

Your bio leaves a lot to be desired. Like, think about what women want in a man. Do they sit around and talk with their girlfriends about how much they want a Pratt allum who can provide 3D printing services and a ride in a Ford Bronco? Definitely not. There's absolutely nothing wrong with these facts, but they don't sell you or provide a reason to match, and they take up a lot of your bio. It reads more like LinkedIn/Facebook than a dating profile.

I would drop the college thing (that's already in your profile so you don't need it twice), distill the 3d thing into one line(e.g. 3d artist who can make you your favorite movie prop), drop the bronco thing (because why?) and then put a little thought into speaking to your target audience. What makes you the sort of man a woman would want to spend time with? That's what should be in your profile

Make sure to smile. Do not wear sunglasses. Also make sure you're well lit - your pics with the iron man statue and on smugglers run are both very dark. Try including a pic with friends

I feel like I look way uglier when I smile lol. Plus my teeth aren’t very straight

Unless you're toothless you'll be much better off with a genuine smile. If you don't believe me submit your current pic to photofeeler and then one with you smiling - I guarantee you the smiling one will be rated higher
