I recently have found myself back in the dating pool at age 33. I am wondering if I am maximizing my potential of what God's given me to work with or if there are things I should be doing differently?
Here are my pictures: Photo Album - Imgur (Top two and bottom two are the most recent. Middle two are a year or two old, pre weight loss).
I've already lost 20 pounds and am supposedly sitting around 13% bodyfat. I feel decently fit at this point.
Main thoughts are:
1) I have a high hair line. I don't think it's majorly receding, it's been like (or close to it) my whole life. The way I style my hair spiking up in front seems to exaggerate this. What do you think?
2) I am greying pretty rapidly. It's a genetic thing, one side of my family has nearly fully grey hair by 40. It's still somewhat hidden when I put gel in it. I can always color it, not sure if it's really an issue.
I think your hairstyle looks fine. I might consider coloring it and see if you like it. Once you get to your 40's, maybe let it go gray if you like. I think it starts to look distinguished in that age range. Right now if you're trying to get the interest of potential partners in their late 20's-mid 30's, I might consider coloring it.
I don't see the gray. Your hairline is high but not sure what you can do. Grow a 'stach and goatee and shave the head?
My facial hair doesn't grow out very well, but I'll think about that. I had thought about asking my hair stylist to do something different, but honestly I've tried that twice in the past and they make it the same (even if I go drop $40 on a "higher end" haircut).

Congrats on getting healthy!
Thank you! I will eventually try coloring it. It still seems to be hidden enough, but my day will come soon!

Thank you! You made my day!

I wouldn't want to go back! Clothes fit so much better now and my self confidence is way better as well. Like I good single person (lol), I am doing the gym thing regularly, so hopefully I will gain some muscle over time. Good to know though, that's why I posted!
It's amazing how hard we are on ourselves. Just looking at the pictures, I thought you were attractive and had a decent body. I didn't even notice the hairline until you said anything. It's a non-issue. I didn't see any gray, and I highly doubt that would be an issue either. I think you look fine with or without the extra 20 pounds. I don't see any need to change anything, and think you should do whatever you think would make you healthiest and happiest, physically.
First off, very ballsy posting a thread like this. Kudos for that.
As a fellow dude, you're doing fine. You are in better shape than the vast majority and you aren't an ugly dude. Regardless of dress style or whatever, girls like guys who look good without a shirt on.
Don't grow facial hair, most women I know like a clean shaven face. Definitely don't shave your head and grow a beard...that'll add a good 10 years on your face.
You posted, I'll answer.
Don't change a thing. You appear on the outside to be attractive.
I hope the inside matches.
Good luck on the dating scene.
