Serious comment:
Matt, how about growing some stubble or sideburns? With respect, you are quite babyfaced. I don't know uni girls but I'd imagine they are fed up of "kids" and are on the look out for more masculine, mature types. I know it's shallow and skin deep etc, but might be worth a punt for a month or so.
And take more off the hair. Anything you have to comb is too long. Anything you can see is too long. If it's long enough to start to wave or kink or curl, it's too long. Get it short, get contacts. (Tis what I did and I ended up fighting them off with a s
tty ebola stick, not bad for a skinny 4-eyed acne ridden geek.)

The sad thing is, he's not actually that ugly. OK, so the hair and glasses are a bit
but that could be easily remedied. I'd say that his personality were more of the problem.
I have to wonder what goes on in the head of someone with seemingly a different persona for every day of the week, and none of them appealing.
What's wrong with just being A Normal Bloke? That's what wimmins really want, not some freak they'd be ashamed to be seen with in public.

Looking at him it would be the worlds worst bumfluff so that option is out.Matt, how about growing some stubble or sideburns? With respect, you are quite babyfaced.

Someone needs to shop him bald. Or shop him skinhead. That would help.tty ebola stick, not bad for a skinny 4-eyed acne ridden geek.) DanielSan said:

Send the redhead the shopped picture, she'll be grateful, it might help her profile too.
Send the redhead to Staffordshire rather than Cheshire, I'll disappoint her as she is now 
Any chance of her number Matt? or the one on the right!
ETA Fair play to you for being a good sport, if you want constructive advice then I would say people have given decent suggestions already-
Get to the barbers after work/uni today and get a proper short back and sides.
Then pop into Specsavers and get some Daily disposable contact lenses (even if just for some nice new photos)
Get yourself a nice pair of Jeans, nothing flash, a pair of Classic Levi's or Diesel etc
Also get a couple of nice plain Polo shirts as if you are not that toned T-shirts do not flatter!
A pair of classic trainers and you are sorted- Adidas, Puma or best of all New Balance.
Try all that and you will look your best without looking too 'try hard'

It's all very well you doing a dating site for comical chaos, but what happens if it's more successful? How are you going to resolve the difference between perception and reality? On one hand you're suggesting helicopter, P1 and a mansion vs the reality of cowboy hat, red JAYB jeans all infused with the faint wiff of steam oil and student.
(in all seriousness, it's a smidge mean really. ComChao manifests enough insecurity as it is without running the risk of making his imaginary self more successful.)

Or you can view it as proof to Matt that it's how you deal with what you have available to you that makes the difference and that it is possible to get many matches, it's just how you present yourself that matters.(in all seriousness, it's a smidge mean really.

I'll caveat the above since I haven't seen how CB will present him

Love how all the fat, middle-aged, balding munters who most likely live with a fat, middle-aged, balding munter feel qualified to give advice to a twenty something uni student. Carry on, you stud muffins.

It's not that, its more the male gene kicking in when it seeks a damson in distress.Glade said:
I'm at my parents, sat on the laptop doing some work bits, quick browse of PH...
My mum just walked in banging on about my dad's colonoscopy again, and saw me looking at Matt's photoshops.
Stopped dead, turned on her heel and walked out of the room in silence.
