Stop spending money on Tinder, and stop trying to stoke up lengthy conversations or expecting that they ask you personal questions in return. You're criticizing them for just matching for attention, but have you considered that
you are being needy in regards to attention by wanting them to ask you questions about yourself? Why are you so hung up on them asking you questions over Tinder, when that could be saved for an actual date?
Here's the deal: Them matching with you to begin with
is a sign of interest. Sure
, some guys and girls are there purely for attention. Yes, some dates will flake on you (and you'll eventually have to flake on some dates yourself). Yes, some people probably won't respond. That said, you need to stop being so emotionally invested into these matches. They're potential connections that you could turn into dates, and nothing more. If a match doesn't pan out into a date, that's fine! The reality everyone faces on Tinder is that a great majority of matches will never amount to anything, and you need to accept that fact. You're seriously messing up your chances and coming off as incredibly desperate by jumping from small talk straight into a date proposal, "fuck it" style. A date proposal happens when it's appropriate and suits the mood of the conversation, or it should happen within the first 10 messages (but this still depends on the mood of the existing messages).
I took a look at your pictures. As already highlighted by others, you desperately need better ones. The only one I'd consider usable is the group one. Avoid pics that are obviously selfies. I've recently gotten into
fashion Instagram and have been taking fit pics on my own. You don't necessarily need another person either, and it could potentially not turn out too great if they're subpar photographers. Buy a tripod or stand, take some pics of yourself in a place outside of your home, and make sure the picture doesn't look like it's arm's length away. You seem like you know how to dress, so get some standing full-body pics with a genuine smile (look up squinching, or think of something funny). My super professional setup for these pics is my phone hooked onto a Switch Dock using a PopSocket, and that's set on top of a dining chair and using the timer function. I'm located in Minnesota in the northern US, and we don't get much sun in the winter either. Regardless, even if it's just overcast outside, that's still far better and more flattering than any indoor lighting.
Also, your posture in the old pictures is poor. The shoulders are slumped, and you look like you have no clue what to do with your hand, so you half-assed putting it in your pocket. And for the love of God, don't bend your back forward in any pictures you're using for Tinder, ever, unless you're lifting something heavy. Stand tall with your shoulders slightly pulled back and either have your hands and arms down on your side, or stuff em in your pockets like you meant to do it all along.
If you want success on Tinder, put more effort into your profile. Throwing more money at it is meaningless and can actually harm your profile's ELO rating, because if more people see your bad pics and swipe left, then it's just gonna tank your score even more. At this rate, I'd just delete the profile and reset to start fresh. You should actually do that once a month or so anyway.
