You're 17, generally a lot younger than other people forming sexual relationships (in spite of what you hear - most of that is confirmation bias). Perhaps it's worth doing some hobbies/clubs that get you socially active and talking to people in general, and possibly see someone about your depression. Basically get something going on in your life beyond a pity party.

Just be yourself, talk to the people on tinder, ask them questions. People like to feel you are interested in what they have too say. You are also very young you've got plenty of time to find somebody for you.

Keep your head up, some one is probably right around the corner waiting for you.

just be yourself

This is what my current, losing strategy is

Give it time, you are young. You've got all the time in the world to find somebody. Be confident in who you are and trust me woman love that.

That's of little comfort when I'm lonely NOW. And I'm not looking for women

There is no magical formula that you can learn that will automatically find you a relationship, because that's not how relationships work. If you approach relationships with the idea that if you just perform X task correctly, then a romantic partner will somehow appear, you are going to spend the majority of your life being exceedingly disappointed. I've never lacked for romantic company, but that doesn't mean I was having good healthy relationships. In fact, many of them were terrible and unhealthy, because I was lonely and had incredibly shitty self-esteem. That's a combination a certain kind of asshole can sniff out from 40 miles away, and believe you me, those are not the people you want to be in a relationship with if you ever want to feel better about yourself. I didn't figure out how to find a partner that was actually good for me until I was well into my 20s.

At any rate, I am so hesitant about giving advice to a teenager about how to attract more attention on a site like OKCupid or Tinder, it's not even funny. My own son is only a couple years younger than you, and if he came to me and spoke the way you do, that would be the LAST thing I would ever suggest. Because those assholes with the good senses of smell I mentioned? They are ALL over sites like those, and they can do you a lot of damage.

I'm also not going to tell you to be yourself, either, because that's a useless platitude when you already don't like yourself all that much, which is the vibe I'm getting from everywhere on this post.

So here is my advice instead: work on becoming the kind of person you'd like to be with. You want someone kind and caring? Work on being kind and caring. You want someone interesting? Work on being interesting yourself - for example, figure out what you're good at and then get better at it, whether it's drawing cartoons or playing the guitar or cooking or a sport or whatever - because that's fulfilling for you as a person and also opens you up to other people that are into what you're into, appreciate skill when they see it, or just want to be around someone that is something worth being around.

You want someone attractive? Work on being attractive - and that does NOT mean you have to weigh a certain amount or have a face like Brad Pitt or whatever, it just means you should take care of yourself and take the time to figure out who you are, because personal style counts for a lot, and also serves to make you more interesting. It will take time and you will make mistakes along the way, because we all do, but that's life and that's how we learn. Personal growth ain't easy. If it was, everyone would do it, and we'd be having an entirely different conversation, you & me.

So. As RuPaul would say, "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?" Yes, that's a platitude, but this time, it's a useful one. Work on becoming someone you love, so someone else you want to love will want to love you, too. And if that someone else doesn't come around for a long time (or ever - no magic formula, no guarantee, remember?), you'll be fine, because you will be a whole person that would like a relationship to enhance your life, not a partial person that needs a relationship just to fill in all the empty spots.

In case this is not a bad troll and you want !working! advice and not the old "just be yourself" crap.

  1. Shave. That little Mustache does not look good just yet with that little hair. If thats just a shadow, my bad.
  2. Get a gym membership. get fit. People will accuse me of body shaming. But you want advice. And a fit body looks more attarctive to a broader audience and it gives confidence. (and is healtier)
  3. get a good Haircut. Your hair does not look well groomed.

Godspeed.

Something like a 6 on top and a 5 on the sides is easily manageable and short enough to do nothing with on rushed days but long enough to mess about with on good days.

Personally, I recommend finding a nice salon- I'm a dude too, so I was like no salons are for girls, but HOLY SHIT they know what they're talking about more, you're treated better, etc. Can't recommend salons enough. Find a good one and ask your salonist how your hair looks best

Guys rarely have much going for them at 17. It sucks, but your best bet is to get involved with school, work or some kind of extracurricular activity. Get to know some people, start working on your depression and try to achieve forward momentum in other parts of your life. Take a dance class. In a few years sex and relationships should become a bit easier.
