I sincerely doubt that such a course of action would lead me to the kind of woman that I want to do more with than just bump rubber-covered uglies. I apologize if you took that link seriously. Really, it was just part of my larger plan to confuse Xerxys.
Common sense dictates that a shitty indoor self-shot of a dumpy guy who doesn't have much to say about himself isn't going to follow their supposed stats, bro. Grainy emo cleavage-laced coy self-shots might work for girls based strictly on meat appeal but not for male nerds. I can't imagine too many girls soaking their panties over a guy who can't be bothered to escape the box that casts the blue light long enough snap a decently lit picture.

Professional help isn't an option, eh? Hey, I'm cool with that. Shrinks are expensive and a liability if you want to get certain jobs. If you're not going to seek professional help, however, you must take it upon yourself to unfuck your life. I get the feeling a good portion of your largely masturbatory posts here on TFP are just attempts to connect with strangers and shoot the shit. That's cool. We all do it. Just avoid being such a whiny choad about it.

Oh, I didn't see the joke at first but now I do. Yeah, I always thought that the pictures of girls climbing mountains or scuba diving and stuff like that were pretty cool. I do have a picture of me playing my bass with the band at a show, but doesn't seem to have helped. Also, I didn't want to make an assumption that dating-site users had bad taste in what they like in pictures (the last time in another thread that I assumed something about a group of people, bar girls, I got my ass handed to me for that).
But basically what you said about shrinks is why I don't want to go. I can't afford a shrink, heck, I was crying at how much I was spending on my date. ($40-$50 every meet usually). I didn't know about the liability on jobs though... I thought there was a patient doctor confidentiality.
And no, this isn't a joke thread. I wish I could think of something this clever to fool everyone, but I'm not like that. Ask LoganSnake, he's known me for years and known that I've had this problem (although I have made improvements from what I used to be, if that even sounds possible.)
