Youtube version of this post - written version below:
If you're reading this, you might’ve seen Datemaxxing - also known as Mateo, Profile Maxxing, Ryosuke, and maybe other names - promoting his AI dating pic service.
(I’ll refer to him as “Mateo” from now on)
Or maybe Mateo DMed you offering to make AI dating pics for you.
And if this is your first time hearing about Mateo, what he does is offer to make AI dating pics for people who want better results in online dating.
But by the end of this post, you’re definitely gonna think twice about buying pics from him or associating with him in any way.
Note: This post is based on my personal experience and publicly available information. It is intended for educational and consumer protection purposes only.

Why I’m making this post
So recently, someone DMed me on Discord. They said that Mateo was using my pics (without my permission) and saying that he worked with me (false) to promote his AI dating pic service:
Close-up of Mateo’s Discord profile picture:
(That looks nothing like him - as you’ll soon see when I talk about Mateo’s catfishing)
So for full transparency, I teach people how to make AI dating pics in my ChadGPT course. I also make AI dating pics for people upon request.
Mateo was one of the people I taught everything I know about AI dating pics via my content and course:
In the above screenshot, he is going by the username “Ryosuke”. To prove that this is the same person, here is a closeup of the above profile picture:
And even though the above picture doesn’t look like the real him, he uses that same AI persona on Fiverr:
Here is more proof that he benefitted from my knowledge (positive review on my course page - trying to get it removed):
(Based on what you’re about to see, I’m not sure that review is based in truth, hence why I’m trying to get it removed)
Anyway, as his way of thanking me for supposedly improving his dating life, he started to message people in my course behind my back, offering to make AI dating pics for them.
Of course, this was done without my approval or knowledge.
Proof of him doing this - part 1:
Proof part 2 (this guy said Mateo’s pics were shit):
There are more examples but want to keep this part brief. The later sections of this post are probably more relevant to you.
Though what’s funny is I was actually paying him to make AI pics on my behalf. Aka sending him easy money to just sit there and make AI dating pics.
Yet, he still chose to do all of this.
Proof of me paying him to make pics for me:
And despite me paying him to make AI pics for my clients, sometimes he couldn’t even do the job correctly.
In this below example, he made an AI group pic for a client (so the client in a pic with two AI “girls”). But the girls had the same exact face as the client, which is obviously not going to work for dating purposes:
The same client asked for more pics cuz almost all of the pics Mateo made for him were unusable:
But enough about me. Here are some things you definitely need to know about Mateo.
Mateo and catfishing
So I know I talk about using AI for dating, but I don’t recommend catfishing, nor do that I do that myself.
This is what I look like:
Here are my current AI pics:
As you can see, I actually look like my pics.
Again, AI is great, but I DON’T recommend catfishing.
If you do that, girls are just gonna leave mid-date or ghost you.
But in Mateo’s case, I have proof of him catfishing online both to girls and potential customers.
I posted the pics he uses online earlier, but here is his AI persona again:
In this screenshot below, you can see Mateo admitting to not looking like his pics. He even admits that if girls get on a video call with him, they might not want to meet up:
(FYI some of these screenshots are from a Discord I used to run for Asian guys. To prove that the screenshots are real, below is a screen recording from the Discord)
So in the “pic” of Mateo I posted above, you’ll notice the appearance is very similar to that of a Korean drama actor:
(Image credit: Guardian: The Lone and the God/ © tvN/IMDb)
He admits to trying to look Korean in his AI pics:
As someone who’s actually Korean (was born in Korea and lived there for years), we don’t want you Mateo.
Now obviously, I’m gonna respect Mateo’s privacy and not show exactly what he looks like. But here is what he actually looks like with some details left out:
(From an interview I did with him for my Youtube channel. Have since taken the interview down)
Would his real appearance get the same results online as his AI appearance? I’ll let you decide.
But it gets worse.
Mateo pumps his matches by setting his location to The Philippines
So Mateo promotes his services by claiming that he gets “1,000+ matches as an Asian nerd”:
As you will soon see, Mateo admits to changing his location to much easier countries for online dating, such as the Philippines, in order to get lots of likes / matches.
First, I’ll replay part of the interview I did with him, where he admits to this:
More proof of Mateo admitting to setting his location to countries like the Philippines to inflate his like / match numbers:
(Admits he can’t match with hot white girls in New Zealand. New Zealand being ~70% white according to Wikipedia)
(Similar to what he said in the interview clip - his matches explode if he sets his location to Bangkok, Thailand or Manila, Philippines. Yet, he (and probably you) live in Western countries like New Zealand and the US)
(Guy in Discord asks if his “unlimited supply” of likes / matches is from New Zealand. Mateo laughs and says he doubts there are even 750 users in New Zealand)
(Showing a match and admitting that she lives in Manila - the capital of the Philippines)
(Someone in Discord calling him out for matching with girls in Manila when he lives in New Zealand)
Anyway, who is living in Manila, Philippines or Bangkok, Thailand that also follows English-language dating content online?
Sure, there might be some guys like that. But most guys are probably in the US, Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and other similar countries. In other words:
Countries that are MUCH HARDER than the Philippines for online dating.
Trust me - unless there is something REALLY wrong with your appearance and/or pics, you can get tons of matches by switching your location to Manila, too.
FYI this is something a lot of dating coach types seem to do. That is, set their location to easier places like South America (e.g. Colombia or Brazil) or Southeast Asia (e.g. Philippines or Thailand).
Once they pump their like / match counts by changing their location, they then use those inflated numbers to make it seem like they are crushing online in Western countries.
They then take advantage of unaware customers, who are mostly in harder places for dating like the US and Western Europe.
More than half of Mateo’s Fiverr reviews are from New Zealand
Something else that I thought was interesting:
As of this post, Mateo has 19 reviews on Fiverr. 12 of those 19 reviews (so more than half), including most of his early reviews, are from New Zealand.
(As a reminder, Mateo lives in New Zealand)
I didn’t know New Zealand was so heavily represented on Fiverr. Especially in the AI dating picture niche.
Screen recording proof:
So now that you know Mateo both catfishes and uses misleading marketing practices, such as inflating his online dating results by setting his location to Southeast Asia, let’s move onto the next topic:
Mateo admitting to liking ladyboys, men, single moms, and women in their 30s (as someone who claims to be in his early 20s).
Note: not saying there’s anything wrong with liking any of those kinds of people, but Mateo is presumably selling AI dating pic services to primarily heterosexual / straight men, who are younger and probably looking to date younger women.
Mateo and ladyboys
In Mateo’s Fiverr listing, he talks about how his clients “went from matching ONLY with ladyboys and fridges to amassing 1000+ high-quality matches”:
Therefore, he is implying that ladyboys aren’t “high-quality”.
But as I’m about to show you, he admits to ladyboys from the Philippines and Thailand as being “hot”, and says they’re the “absolute best” at giving blowjobs:
Mateo thinks his professor (man) is hot
Now here is Mateo referring to his “middle aged male professor” as being “hotter than all the students”:
Mateo and “hot” single moms
Mateo on 35-year-old women
(FYI he’s 22 or around there - according to him)
Again, we all have our dating preferences. For Mateo, that seems to include ladyboys, older men, single moms, and older women.
But if that doesn’t describe you and your dating preferences, maybe you should consider looking elsewhere for dating-related help.
So in summary, Mateo, also known as Datemaxxing, Ryosuke, Profile Maxxing, and maybe other names I’m not aware of:
Uses my pics and says he works with me in order to promote his AI dating pic service
Is the type of person to stab you in the back for changing his dating life and giving him steady work
Makes bad AI pics - at least according to some guys in my Discord
Catfishes online, both to girls and potential customers
Inflates his match numbers by changing his location to countries like the Philippines (way easier for online dating)
(As of this post) has a Fiverr listing where more than half of his Fiverr reviews are from New Zealand (where he lives)
Implies on his Fiverr listing that ladyboys aren’t desirable while admitting to liking them
Thinks his middle-aged professor is “hot” (as someone who is presumably selling AI dating pics to mostly heterosexual men)
Has met “deceivingly hot” single moms
Dated a woman in her 30s (as someone who claims to be 22)
Just wanted to present all the facts about this guy in case you were thinking of buying AI dating pics from him or otherwise associating with him.
Be careful out there.
Until next time,
