Thanks!

Hi. I think it looks good. It's not perfect, but I don't think perfect would serve you. Instead, you sound like you need a little bit of a helping hand and that can be very attractive to people.

Nice job. Good luck!

So, what makes you unique? Special? Because there's always something. Try to bring some of that forward into this section.

Fantasies just needs to be compressed some. It's actually the most charming part of your profile, but too wordy. It's still men and women, you can leave out "single" as a qualifier for the guys you've been with and "very" as a modifier for fun and hot. And you are somehow going to have to figure out what you mean when you say you're not into the really kinky stuff and either willing to explore all the possibilities or are open for almost anything. Because that's three different approaches you've taken and you really only get one and a half.

Fill out the last section. I don't care what you put there, so long as it's not that stupid warning. Maybe check some forum posters' profiles to see if anything sparks your imagination? End on a high note.

Good luck. Make some more changes and then come back for a review.

Hi. I'm going to be critical of what you've written. It's not terrible, but you want advice on making your profile more attractive and that means I'm starting with the idea that what you have needs work. If it feels blunt, that's great. If it feels like an attack, that's not so great. I promise, my aim is not to exercise my inner mean girl.

You also wanted tips on approaching couples. There's a whole section called Achieving Single Male Success, just above this one, that might be helpful, even if some of the advice is contradictory. It's not really difficult, providing you write intelligent emails, have patience, understand very few of the people you contact will write back, and create a new email for each potential contact, which means no standard format. Oh, and be yourself, just dressed up for company.

As far as your profile, the biggest issue is that you've been on here for more than four years and don't have a cert. That's a bit of a red flag, especially since you use the word "new" really often. Any interest in creating a new account? You can transfer the billing from this one pretty easily. Or is there a possibility of getting someone to certify you? Either of those changes would increase your positive responses by some number.

Moving on to text, your tagline is tired. Find something shorter and don't duplicate it in the body of your profile. Also, for reasons of grammar, it's men and women, not males and females. Yes, I know what SLS says, but they're wrong.

In Looking For, your third and fourth sentences say essentially the same thing. I'd delete the third one and lose the "maybe" in the final sentence. Otherwise, it's pretty good.

Description is not currently going to pique anyone's interest, in spite of the addition of sports team names. Your stats indicate your height, so there's no reason to repeat that with words. Your photos indicate that you're white and have dark hair, so no need to iterate either attribute. You work out, not "workout," and instead of using indirect framing like "I would consider myself to be," just stick with direct language: I'm funny, sarcastic, love to laugh and to be around people who do the same.

One more thig.

Since you're into guys, I would note some of the sports teams you are into. It's a way of connecting with guys since you have something in common.

I think your pictures are ok. If you like to run, I would add in one or two pictures of you at a 5K or something.

I like to say that there's a thin line between being sarcastic and being an asshole and I cross it every day.

Take this out. It doesn't make me want to get with you.
