I pretty much agree with all the advice you've gotten so far - I'm just popping in to reinforce the message since I can't add much to it!

Reading other profiles will show you the difference between the so-so and the amazing - make notes about what you liked and disliked about various profiles. Add that information to the advice you've received here. After you have each read a dozen or more, sit down together and start writing. Either do it in a word processor or on paper - you'll do a lot of revising so you don't want to have to wait for SLS approval every time you save something. Walk away or sleep on it and come back again to refine it some more. Once you get it to your liking, upload the text to the various profile sections - let us know when the new text has been approved and we can offer additional advice and/or congratulations.

Velma has a great system for core pictures in your public gallery - you can find the details in many of her posts to others. My advice is more general - smile (even if you obscure your face a smile affects your whole body), watch for clutter or visual chaos in the background and avoid selfies. You can take pictures of each other having fun on the ATVs, get a waitress to take your picture while dressed up nicely for a dinner date - generally show us you are fun people to be around. If you obscure your faces in your public gallery it's nice to include those same pictures in a private gallery where your faces are visible.

Good luck and have fun!

Use your pictures to show what you look like and use the rest to show what you're into and what your personalities are like.

To start, I opened a private gallery for you so you can see the kind of pictures you should have.

Listen, I would't give you two a second glance. I would see the single picture, no picture of the guy and move on.

One of the things I've noticed is that if there's no pic of the guy, there's probably a really good reason why. So if there is no pic of the guy, I walk. I don't care if you have a pic of him in your private section, I'm not going to reach out because if he was attractive, he would have the confidence to show his body.

Lets start with a couple's picture of the two of you together and dressed nicely. Look at my private pictures and go from there.

LOL. Absolutely LOVE the brutal honesty. “..it’s kind of like noting you have fingers.” Thanks so much for the critique. I’ll work on it this weekend. ??.

Hi. Actually, it looks less like you're no good at it and more like you froze up. It's okay and perfectly normal and just part of being new. I am going to say some things that might sound critical and mean, but they're meant very kindly. That will be true of pretty much everyone who posts in this particular corner of the forum. We all want you to succeed, truly.

So, biggest and reddest of red flags is no photo of him. It really does matter, because she might be a bombshell, but you're a team and women will insist on having an idea of what - at the very least - his body looks like before contacting you or acknowledging contact from you.

Your tagline is pretty bland and I think you can do better. Clever is good, sincere is fine, steal from a profile a thousand miles from you if you can't think of anything. And when you've selected it, make it conversational, so only the initial word is capitalized.

In Looking For, you can pretty much toss what you have. Not only is it cookie cutter, it makes you sound a little peevish. Instead, think of this as a kind of job posting and make this section about who you're looking for and then what you're looking for. Right now, it's mostly about you, with a quick nod to what you want - single women and couples - and a pointless statement about what you aren't looking for (just block single men, so they can't contact you or see your profile). So, are you looking for friends with benefits? Your first experiences? It's okay to admit you're new, so long as once you're no longer new you amend your profile. Since you're not looking for full swap, you might want to say something about that, especially if you have any interest in single women, who might not have much interest in an oral only threesome. Also, instead of "like minded," which is a meaningless cliché, say something about the kind of people you're looking for and center this whole section around them instead of you.

The part about preferring to chat a bit, while it might be offputting to some (why chat instead of an initial vanilla meeting?), belongs down in Additional comments, where you will need to balance it out by ending on a positive note.

Description is okay, but not doing you any favors. You've made three posts and in all three you sound a little freaked out but underneath that smart and pretty damned charming. It would be great if some of that showed here. Like, the first and the last paragraphs contain interesting information, but the middle section instead of supporting and enhancing that by saying more about you as people and as a couple just kinda sit there telling me stuff that actually isn't interesting. Except for liking to give boob jobs. That is an oddly charming thing to say and belongs in Fantasies.

So, the thing about using this space to talk about sex related things is that you're telling it to people who can pretty much get laid any time. And you're doing that instead of talking about the things that can get you laid, like being cool or funny or quirky or smart or having more than one hobby. Also, shaved pussy sounds scratchy, so I'd just leave that out, plus smooth or well trimmed genitals are the norm for swingers, so it's kinda like noting you have fingers.

In Fantasies, don't bail out on an opportunity to connect with people who might share or be intrigued by a fantasy or two. You needn't be explicit (actually, you shouldn't), but say something other than Ask us! with what I think is an unsupported by this site emoji.

And, as I said, end on a positive note down in Additional comments.

Good luck! and I hope you keep coming back until you're happy with what you have.
