We'll, I take pictures. If I'm out doing something, I'll take a picture or make an instagram post. I do pottery. Women universally love pottery. I play guitar. Not as universally liked but women still have an interest in it. How I dress, all my clothing is fitting and I have my own style. Even something as lame as an outdoor walk with a fanny pack. My smile is alright? Idk cause that's not what matters. Women want to see a few things and you as a guy need to know where you fit. They want to see friends, clout, hobbies, and well taken pics. Knock those out and just like a job, it never gets brought up again.

I mean I'm not amazing, had 0 friends to help me, and I still got likes (Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge). So how did I solve the "friends in a picture" issue if I had 0 friends? Go to bars. Hang out and chat with people. Somehow organically bring it up and take a pic. Boom, looks like you have friends haha. I've done it numerous times and it works flawlessly for that. Bars are also a great place to meet new friends. But at worst, you make them feel a tad uncomfortable but still make an attempt to have fun, while simultaneously benefiting you.

Take this for what you will, but if you're really struggling with dating, I highly recommend listening to the mating grounds podcast with Tucker Max. Say what you want about him, but his reasoning and extraordinarily sound. They have a "helping joe" series where they help this average dude date. Also with some other PhD guy whom I can't remember and another frat like dude. Just don't walk in with prejudices about who they are. They know their stuff hence why the topic of dating isn't difficult for them.
