So I was at my computer and was thinking about what video to make for you guys, and I figured
since it’s christmas time, you guys deserve A CHRISTMAS SPECIALLLLLLLL!!!
So what better video topic is there to do than the topic you guys have literally harassed
me for, for the past few months.
How to setup your instagram profile, so girls will find you attractive.
Here we go.
Step 1: Remove all the motivational quotes and bullshit things you do from your bio.
You know EXACTLY what I’m talking about.
Those guys who have the corny motivational quotes in their bio that talk about shit like
hustle, hard work, and dedication, like DUDE c’mon you’re 15 years old how much hustle
can you really be doing.
If you really are hustling that hard and are motivated then that’s fucking excellent
and Papa Zeus is proud of you, but there’s no need for that in your bio, it just makes
you look like a try hard.
What’s even worse is when the same guys put shit like “entrepreneur” or “content
creator” and then you click on their link and it’s a bs site with half the buttons
broken on it.
Plus, girls don't give a fuck anyway, the only people who really care are you and your
family members, let's be real.
EVEN WORSE are the guys who post pictures of money, "hashtag racks on deck baby" LIKE
OH MY GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP poser.
If someone is constantly telling you how successful they are - they aren't successful.
True shit.
Long story short, don’t pretend to be something you’re not, and don't inflate what you do
just to flex on Instagram.
It’s petty and makes you look ridiculous.
Also, don’t setup your profile as a business account unless you actually have a reason
to, otherwise making yourself a public figure on instagram when you don’t actually do
anything just makes you look dumb.
It’s much better to put something funny in your bio like “Cuffing Season Free Agent”
or really ridiculous shit that people know is a joke, like “2-Time Nobel Prize Winning
Doctor” or “Starting Quarterback for the New York Knicks”.
Step 2: Don’t take selfies.
"HUHHH???
HUH??
WHAT THE FAK??"
Look bruh.
Unless you’re really really REALLY good looking, don’t take selfies.
Posting selfies on Instagram is something that should’ve been left behind on Instagram
back in 2011 but there are still a few people who do it, and if you’re one of them it’s
time to cut that shit out.
If you’re gonna post a selfie, then you should only post it on your Instagram STORY
because even if it’s cringy, it’s only staying on there for 24 hours anyway and people
will forget about it.
Just DO NOT overdo it.
Next.
Unless you’re a badass fitness guru like my boy Mike Matthews or worse, Greg O’Gallagher,
you should NOT be taking shirtless pictures of yourself in the mirror.
The only exception is if it’s a progression picture and if you went from really fat or
skinny to really jacked then that’s perfectly reasonable.
If you’re in REALLY excellent shape then you can kind of get away with it but even
then it’s better to take more subtle pictures, like you at the beach with a bunch of friends
and you just happen to have your shirt off ... as opposed to you by yourself in the dirty
locker room mirror at Gold’s gym with the toilet stall open in the background.
And if you ARE a skinny guy and you DO wanna transform yourself so you can post that progress
pic on Instagram and use it to get yourself some girls, check out the video I did with
Mike Matthews on how to gain muscle if you’re skinny, I’ll have it linked on screen at
the end of this video.
Step 3.
Take all of your pictures on a legit camera.
This is pretty self explanatory, but taking pictures on a nice camera as opposed to your
flip phone will always come out a lot better and make you appear better looking in them.
Wait, did I just say "flip phone"?
hoooly fuck Zeus, it's 2017, not 1995.
....... If any of you guys still have a flip phone, shame on you.
Anyway.
If you don’t have your own camera or can’t borrow a friend’s, then you can use any
of the newer iphone versions like the iphone 7 plus or newer because they have the depth
of field option that gives you that nice background blur effect while making the overall picture
look A LOT clearer.
I’ve heard the Google pixel has a really nice camera too but this isn't a tech review
channel, so basically borrow a camera from a friend or force a friend to take pictures
of you with their nice phone if you don’t have one.
Step 4: Use a consistent color scheme for your pictures.
Now I’ve mentioned that I’m into photography before so I use things like Photoshop or Lightroom
to edit my photos.
You can use the Lightroom app on your phone if you want a lot more control over your pictures
and are okay with a more complicated learning process.
If you’re looking for simpler editing you can use shit like Snapseed, the little editor
tool on Instagram, or even just steal some filters from VSCO (pronounced Vizco).
Yeah I know, VSCO is the app thottty girls use to post their slutty pictures but they
ACTUALLY have really good filters for you to use, to create a consistent theme for your
feed.
Having a lot of the same colors across your pictures will instantly make your feed look
more aesthetic and visually pleasing since it looks like one big collage of consistent
colors.
Check this out this is one of my favorite Instagram profiles of all time - now clearly
he's a professional photographer, but the thing I want to show you is: look how his
color scheme is consistent across all of the pictures, and they all have similar editing.
So rather than being a mishmash of random shit, it all flows together really nicely.
Also, unless you’re making it part of your theme, don’t use white borders on your pictures
because it fucks up your feed and makes it look all choppy, especially if you edit the
picture after you put the borders on, then the white borders start to look yellow and
orange-ish.
Step 5: Post pictures of cool shit.
This sounds really obvious but I’ve seen so many Instagram profiles of guys who all
post the same shit like, a big group pic of all the bros, a pic from prom, a pic of them
at the beach, a couple bathroom selfies, and then a closeup of the new Call of Duty game
you got for Christmas.
Yeeeeeeeeah you know what I'm talking about.
Now, that stuff is fine IF it’s well edited and mixed in with ACTUAL cool shit and places
you go to.
But, you don't want it to be all you have on there.
Some examples of cool shit are things like, pictures of you in a cool city, in a dope
hiking spot, at a high place with a nice view, with a badass car, you doing cool hobbies
like traveling, and so on.
Make sure to tag the location you’re in if it’s a cool spot and boom instant clout.
For example, if you know you’re going on a trip to a cool place or city then take a
shit ton of pictures while you’re there in different outfits so you can end up with
a bunch of good pictures for you to post.
Every time I’m going to a cool spot to take pictures, I always bring at least 2 or 3 outfits
just so I can edit all the pictures at once and have a good backlog of BADASS pictures
to post over a longer period of time, and this way I have a ton of good pictures from
a one day trip.
If you’re always in a lot of cool places and taking dope pics, you’re exponentially
increasing the likelihood of a girl commenting about it on your story or in person, and trust
me as a guy with a BADASS instagram, this happens to me ALL the time.
Making it easier for me to continue conversation with them since they immediately assume I’m
a cool, adventurous guy who’s always doing dope shit.
I’ll have a few Instagram profiles I personally follow and like up on screen now for you guys
to follow and take ideas from.
And that’s it.
In summary: - Remove all the motivational quotes, bullshit
lists, and fake flexing from your profile.
- Stop posting stupid selfies.
- Use a badass camera.
- Have a consistent color scheme and editing style.
- Post pictures of you in cool places doing cool shit.
