He's definitely going places.

In the photo series, Jesse presents himself as an average guy who's slightly overdressed until you begin to tap through his photos "to remove a layer" until there's nothing left of him—literally.

Though his fourth picture was removed from his tinder profile for being too explicit, it doesn't make his idea any less great.

And what's even more impressive is this is his second stroke of genius. Just take a look at his original idea, which ceased to work after Tinder changed how profile pics are viewed.

It's one way to reveal yourself to potential matches -- and those novelty undies must be a real conversation starter.
