Constructive criticism needed for profile.

Just remember - everything is about your profile, not you personally!

As already mentioned, Velma's DEBauCH system for core pictures is a great start. My photo advice is more general - SMILE (yes, I'm yelling - it's important), watch for clutter or visual chaos in the background and no selfies. Almost anyone will take a picture of you. A half dozen pictures is plenty - just don't take them all the same day, wearing the same clothes!

Your text needs to be positive - tell us what you want, not what you don't want. Don't repeat information that is in your stats (orientation, not a smoker) or shows in pictures.

Others have already given you specific advice about your text. I'm tired, so just reread their posts. Once you are happy either proofread very carefully (you have a lot of spacing issues) or copy your text to a word processor and run spell check and grammar check to find most of the problems.

Good luck and have fun!

Hi. You've had the disclaimer and I hope you take it to heart. This process can feel really harsh.

So, if you're going to purchase a lifetime membership, I'd suggest doing so with a whole new profile. New screen name, new photos, entirely new text. Right now you have a four year old profile with no certs, which is pretty much the kiss of death for single guys. There's no reason to operate with that deficit if you don't have to. And you don't.

You should have at least one full length photo (clothed please) in addition to one showing your face, if you're showing your face. Please smile. It will literally make all the difference to women if you do so. I will explain if you like, but I get tired of trying to find new ways to say the same thing and I'm going to do quite enough of that here already, so just trust me on the smile.

I'm just going to operate as if you're starting from scratch, with just one exception.

Right now, in Looking For, you say: "Race and weight are not important. All shapes and sizes welcomed. NOT interested in single men."

So, there's a difference in having a wide taste in women and being willing to fuck anyone. I'm going to assume you're the former, but the way you've phrased it indicates more of the latter. What about saying you're looking for women of any race and size instead? It's the same thing, but not quite. Also, you needn't mention single men. You have them blocked when you toggle no interest (yeah, I know, SLS says they can still see you're profile, but that's wrong). Plus, the way you've worded it indicates you might be interested in married men. Better to just leave that line out entirely.

Tagline: Short and punchy, funny if possible.

Looking For: Who are you looking for, what are you looking for, what configuration are you looking for? And write this section so that it's more about others than you. It's a subtle difference, but work at thinking of this section as your first opportunity to be the man who puts the pleasure of others first.

Description: Confine yourself to talking about yourself. Not about what you want or don't want but about who you are. Not sex - that's what Fantasies is for - but who you are as a person, what you like to do, as way of introducing yourself. Be vanilla here.

Fantasies: This section is for listing your experience and at least one non-graphic fantasy.

Additional comments: This section is your last opportunity to be charming and subtly coax others to say yes to you. Be positive.

Hope that helps.

Good luck.

Single largest piece of advice...SMILE. Your picture makes you look like you're no fun, and you likely want at least a couple more pics to give an idea of body size/shape and possibly places you enjoy going to in the background.

You don't really have a lot of content. In Fantasies/Experiences you have a line that should probably move to the "Looking for " section. It's the one that starts with "Looking for..."

The Description section should contain some of your interests as potential conversation starters. We know you like sex, but what else do you like?

There are some things that you should remove as they are negative and not needed. For example, nobody wants people with fake profiles or people into cliques/gossip.

Suggest you look through some of the other input here and SLS is a place where plagiarism is fine. If you see something you like on another profile feel free to use it in yours.

I'm first, so here's the standard disclaimer (which each of us explains slightly differently) We're going to say things that aren't meant to be hurtful, but might sound bitter and/or be hard to swallow. It's like medicine...it may not taste so good going down but it'll make things better in the long run.

So...pictures. Read through the previous profile reviews and find Velma's (of VelmaAndShaggy) advice on the DEBauCH method for taking and posting pictures. Don't include the one you have...it looks like a mugshot, and nothing says "I want to fuck him specifically" like that internal voice saying "Now face to the left..." said no one ever.

Update your tagline. Summer is over. Break is over. Be positive, catchy, creative...it's clickbait! You've got a tagline and a picture to get them to click on you, so make the most of both.

GoodGollyMsMolly and PhoebertAndWife have explained what goes where many times in other threads. Save them the time, read their advice on how to "fill in the blanks" so to speak, and give that a shot.

Your profile overall is boring. It's more of a resume than an advertisement, and it needs to make you stand out from the crowd. How do you do that? As you work through the pictures and "fill in the blanks", make sure to put some of you in there. Talk about more than being a nudist for example. What do you do when you're not naked? What do you do when you ARE naked? Movies, books, sports, drinks, food, bars, travel...people want to have something to talk about when they meet you.

We call those things hooks. This is like fishing...you bait your hook, you throw it in the water, and you hope someone bites on it. Some folks bite on shiny glistening torsos, some bite on common interests, some bite on kinks...there's no telling what they'll bite on for you because you've not baited the hook really. (No jokes about being a master baiter, please)

My best advice is to spend some time reading through the threads here, particularly those for single males. Read them, take notes, and use those notes for inspiration on your own profile. I'd also recommend surfing Tinder, Match, and other dating sites. You'll get some inspiration there that will absolutely pay off here. Don't plagiarize though...it's dishonest, and waaaaaaay too easy to get caught at here.

Thinking about upgrading to a lifetime membership. Always good to get feedback from others. Thanks in advance for your help.
