You gotta understand just how few pictures men have of themselves. Most of us aren't randomly taking selfies; a lot of us don't even have pictures of us with our friends.
I do photography and have thousands of photos, I have like actually 10 of myself, and those were mostly taken by my friend with the intent of putting on dating apps.
Online dating has evercerated my self confidence though. So I just detest photos of myself ever more.
The point is the effort. Dating takes effort. If you can't even make the effort to ensure you get a nice pic or two of yourself, how much effort are you going to put into a relationship?
There are very easy ways to take pics of yourself without it being a selfie nowadays. Phone tripods with Bluetooth remotes exsist for $25 off Amazon.
"We just don't have pics of ourselves." ...so take some, instead I of just rolling over and saying "oh well."
