Glad that my filter tricks help!
And I'm 25, but started on Grindr at 20. I always had long hair and most of time some facial hair. With time i modified my looks a bit in function of what my lovers wanted, i did get rejected by some cuties for having beard or body hair, so eventually i decided to give it a try. Fully shaving my body did bring me some opportunities i didnt have before. So now i'd usually send a couple of pictures of me with/without body hair, that way they can decide.
Body and facial hair is the easiest look change we can do, so try to play with it. We go bald with time, that's normal, it's even happening to me and i'm worried, trying to enjoy my long hair the most time i can, but can't do much (just Turkey lol). Age is also normal, can't change that, you'll be liked by some young ones, but naturally you'll date your age group, you can work on looking younger tho, typically by clothes or glasses. What i did observe is that MOST of people like MUSCULAR guys. If you're bald that's your best attribute to work on. About T4T, that's how it is, unless you are willing to dress and wig yourself, you don't fit there and u need to be able to accept that
