Just be careful if you are making a lot of small tweaks to your profile - make sure that the last change has been approved before you make another or you will lose the first change. I lost some really good text because I didn't pay attention one time! That's one reason I often recommend composing off-line in a word processor and then copy & paste to SLS once you're happy with your text.
Thanks going back to change discrete for discreet now
There are better ways to obscure your face than the panda - you'd have to have an amazingly impressive profile for me to get past the panda. I might not even read your profile if I saw the panda come up in a search - please use something else. Velma has great advice for core pictures for your public gallery - if she doesn't show up then go read her advice to other single men. You only need a few mostly full body, clothed pictures and others will take your picture if you ask. If you want to show of partially bare body then use a beach or pool photo - a bathroom selfie with a towel around your hips is not a good look. Just be sure to smile (even if you obscure your face it affects your whole body), watch for clutter or visual chaos in the background and avoid selfies.
I'm going to guess that you're composing your profile text on your phone - you seem to alternate between run-on/list-type sentences and sentence fragments. Do yourself a favor and compose in a word processor and run a spell check and grammar check when you're done. At the very least use a computer with a screen large enough to see most of the profile text all at the same time! See what you can do to vary your sentence structure - it will make your profile less list-like. Then look up the difference between discrete and discreet - I don't think you mean what you've said.
You have good information in your profile - it just isn't presented well.
Good luck!

Ok thank you so much
Much better tagline. Change it every now and again too.
The thing about clubs and parties is that there is a finite amount of competition and fairly high demand for an extra or three. So, being attractive and smart will get you a fair amount of positive attention. On line, there's a nearly infinite supply of single men, with new ones joining every day and old ones staying and it far outpaces demand. And then you have to use words and make them do the job of being attractive, well dressed, good smelling, smart, with the eye color she's looking for and the other hundred things that people notice in the first second they meet someone new and evaluate them.
There's nothing particularly wrong with your existing profile, but it doesn't stand out in any useful way and it's bland. I get the sense that you aren't bland, just buttoned up in this setting. If you want to be really successful, you'll need to add more personality. Whether that means scrapping what you have and starting over or continuing to tweak is a question only you can answer.
And, yes, Additional comments is the locale for hosting availability.
Ok thanks, I've updated my tag line to something like "nerdy is the new sexy"
As far as pictures they are a work in progress.
So in regards to the body of my profile without looking at pictures do I seem somewhat interesting or should I scratch the about me and looking for and start over? Should I post my ability to host in the last section? Thanks for all your help, I've been successful in the LS with going to parties and clubs but it's a little more difficult with online, that I'm trying to get a grasp of
Hi. You have a cool profile name and everything else is a bit of a let down. Like, if there was standard issue educated single guy, your profile would be the default for the group.
Your tagline is best thought of as enticement for others to open your profile and learn about you. So, clever is best, sincere is good, short and pithy is what you're going for. Since you're identifying yourself as a nerd, maybe steal my tagline? Or come up with one that suits your fandom(s).
You also need a better public gallery, as has been pointed out.
As far as your availability for hosting, that's a good thing to note. Even better is to think of your profile as a place where, if you have to pick between being impressive and being charming, always pick the latter. So, show your (clothed unless there's a reason for skin, like the beach) body, your personality and your uniqueness.
You should start by creating a default gallery that is well done. The poorly shot pandaheaded selfie really isn't a good choice. Try and put about 5 pictures in the default gallery. Try and crop the pic or blur it rather than pasting panda heads. With your pictures set the timer on your camera app, find an uncluttered background, and get some shots of yourself dressed well. Throw in some recreational shots or something that shows your interests and/ or personality.
With the written section go ahead correct all the grammar mistakes. It does make a difference to many because it speaks to effort. You need to work hard to differentiate yourself from a crowded field. Get in some specifics on types of play you are looking for. Talk about preferences and some things you want to try as well.
Please review my profile, I'm just trying to get a feel of what should be considered a good tag line? And what's considered too much and not enough, as a "true" single should I post that I'm able to host?
