Lol fun couple it’s just angles. I’ve had most my tats for a few years but they’re always getting additions. The bikini pics are from 2 weeks ago. Actually all the pics are within 6 months :)

I know people know who I am Just don’t want screenshots with my face floating around.

I always think it is kind of funny when people hide their faces in their profile pictures, yet show so many tattoos that anyone who knows them, would obviously recognize them. So then what is the point of hiding faces?
Then there is the fact that there are no tats in the bikini picture, which tells me that is a very old picture, based on the amount of tats on arms and legs. Why no current bikini picture? I have seen this on more than one profile, where people want to show what they use to look like. If you look the same as 6 years ago, no big deal. If you gained 35 lbs., (not referring to OP here) then yes it may matter to those that you are meeting with. From what appears to be the more recent, but more covered photos, she still looks sexy.

We have a special place for whores, Velma. It's on the bed right next to the missus, who is unabashedly a member of your tribe, whilst both of you get all the enthusiastic attention you so richly deserve from everyone in the room.

I think there are a lot of tire-kickers. I think there are also a lot of men who's wives expressed interest in being with a girl ... once... at a wedding when they had a little too much Moscato.

Men are hunters and problem solvers. When I tell my husband "the closet door is squeaking" he'll jump up and go get the WD-40. I'll bet you back in caveman days when a woman said "I'm cold" the guy would jump up and go kill and skin a mammoth.

The moral of the story is that if a woman mentions a threesome, or swinging, men usually respond by getting an SLS account. Then they start hunting the mammoth. Then they show the woman the profile and a few target couples and the woman says:

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU ASSHOLE, IT WAS A FANTASY! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!"

Then the man spends the rest of his life clicking on profiles and wondering what might have been. That's how you get couples with timestamped pictures from 2005, no certs and text that says "we're new at this and want to go slow."

So that's why there are a lot of picture lurkers. It's men stroking their dicks hoping a wish will come out because their wives won't play along.

What can I say? Not every bitch is a whore like me.

Thanks for that feedback! Actually it’s really helpful :)

I’ll go ahead and make those changes!

Also - we’ve had a good amount of messages week to week...but a tremendous amount of repeat views. So I guess maybe they’re just coming for the pics :)

Hi and welcome. I don't live anywhere near you, so I'm going to say mean things and tear apart your profile. Except, you know, without actually being mean. It is just that I don't think what you have is doing a particularly good job of representing you and I'm going to be blunt about pointing out where the problems are.

Velma gives excellent advice about photos. Me, not so much. However, I think the photo of the two of you kissing is a far better profile default than the same old/same old bikini shot. One is unique and charming, the other...isn't. Particularly when you're trying to appeal to women, which you apparently are, a sexy beach pic is just not particularly inviting.

Your tagline includes "likeminded" which is a completely meaningless word. If you take it out, your tagline still won't be particularly interesting but at least it won't also be vague. Maybe "Laid back couple looking to make local friends" would work better. The syntax isn't great, but that's not actually a bad thing in something this short.

In Looking For, it is woman and not female. The latter is an error in grammar (a woman is a thing, "female" modifies a thing). Also, if the way what you have written is correct, you are only looking for solo women for sex and any interest in couples is confined to friendship. If that isn't true, you'll need to write more clearly. If it is true, show just a tiny sliver of interest in couples and, again, write more clearly.

Also, if you're soft swap only with that woman you're looking for, not many on SLS are going to volunteer and you're better off sticking to parties, where there are other options for her for after.

Description is okay, but you've used the word "love" a few too many times, there's a capital letter missing if that's a sports team you're referencing, the "very bi" thing is weird, even in swingerspeak where every woman who isn't 100% straight toggles as at least bi-curious, you've described things that are better done in photos, stats, and toggles, and everything past "We both love meeting new people" can just get deleted, because it does you no favors, makes you sound a little sour, and will make not one iota of difference in one single person's behavior.

Fantasies is okay, but what is he doing while she's being spoiled by women?

Additional comments is just puzzling. Are you giving a life lesson or inviting questions? I seriously can't tell.

Other than that, once you've changed your text, your toggles will acquire the default of Want Smokers/Drinkers and you'll have to wait until you've made and had approved all the changes you're going to make and then just go in and fix those toggles.

The reason you have views and no emails is likely that you're soft swap. Most people aren't looking for that, although they'll make an exception at parties and clubs, because there are other options for after. It's just part of the package for what you like and are looking for.

Good luck.

No problem. I was nicer than normal because we live close enough for theoretically we might meet each other one day. We are actually in Stafford back in September for a triathlon. That’s where My husband took our current default photo.

If you need anything else-just ask.

Thanks for the feedback on the pics! I’ll for sure add in some fancier pics we have some good ones from our recent trip to Miami.

I think your profile is actually pretty good, although your pictures could use some tuning.

I invented something I call the DEBauCH method. This is mnemonic for DATE, EVENT, BEACH, CHICK, HIM. I opened my private pictures to you so you can see what I mean by each picture. You need a picture of what you would look like on a date, add an event like a ball game or a 5K, a picture at the beach, A picture of the check and a picture of him.

For the most part you’re following that format. So I think you’re pretty good. But I think your pictures could you some tweaking.

I'm going to do some critiquing now. I don't mean to offend, but I'm going to get critical on your pictures - but I'm only saying what people are thinking.

I think the picture of you together with him in the flannel shirt Needs to be replaced with him in date night clothes. It's not a bad picture, but if he showed up for a date looking like that I would be turned off. It's not a bad casual picture, but I would like one that is one level up - maybe with him wearing a nicer shirt and her wearing a nicer dress. This is a very important picture because it tells me what you might look like if you met us for drinks or if we showed up at your house for a house party.

You are killing the beach pictures, but maybe get one of you two at a ball game or rock climbing or doing a 5K?

I would also suggest that you pair down the beach pictures a little. I think they are awesome, but you never want to have too many of the same picture. because if you have too many pictures, someone will find a flaw. Each picture should tell a story. Look at our profile. Even if you never read our profile text you would know we are into triathlon, and running and we go to the beach and do fun stuff.

So this is where I suggest that you delete some of the bikini pictures. Kill pictures 2,3,4 and 5. Picture 2 is a horribly unflattering angle. Nobody looks good sitting.

I opened another section of my private pictures called "Contraposto." The Greeks discovered this method of posing. You stand on one leg, cock the other, and make your spine into an S-Curve. Try taking your next bikini pictures like that and you will look amazing. If you absolutely have to take a bathroom selfie in a bikini, wear heels - yes, really. The Bathroom counter will hide your shoes and it will pop out your ass a little.

Text wise, take your ages out of your profile text. It already exists in the profile header and I guarantee on your birthday you will forget to update this info in your profile text and then it will turn into a red flag for people reading your profile.

Take some new pictures, delete the ones I suggested you delete and repost so we can re-review.

I’d love feedback on our profile. We’ve had a pretty good time but good can always get better!

We are pretty new and in person we tend to draw a bunch of attention in vanilla and lifestyle events. We are the couple that ends up making friends with everyone at the bar/party. I’m not sure that comes across.

The other thing is we are not full swap. But we love hosting parties and thus enjoy inviting full swap couples so we don’t want to exclude anyone.

Any and all feedback is much appreciated.
