Honest help with the profile

And that’s why I say “Block early, block often”.

They probably asked for profile advice because they saw the advice given to others and judged that they would find it useful to go through the same process.

As a side note, I rather suspect that the OP would appreciate keeping the focus on their request for advice, rather than derailing the thread with general criticism of those who are willing to put some time into doing a profile review.

Well - I missed the original pictures but I think you can still do better. You need to get the grin from the half-dressed selfie in pictures taken by someone else. Selfies rarely make you look good and a beach or pool picture is a classier way to show off your body - although you might have to wait for warmer weather to get that shot. ;-)

One reference to Philadelphia in Description is enough (I'm probably not the only person who doesn't know where Horsham is). Your stats and pictures tell us that you're a tall, black gentleman. You've mentioned discretion twice so it's important to you but the phrasing in your Fantasies/Experience section is so much better than in Description. And this will sound like nit-picking - but why is no M/M contact in the same sentence with pictures & video?

I'm with MsMolly - I'd like to know more about the vanilla you - you are more than a collection of stats and adjectives.

Good luck & have fun!

Overall, I like your profile. You have a nice way with words, which I particularly like. And I’m glad that you took any dick-pics off as suggested, since those should be shown upon request. But I do like your statement “well equipped with 8 inches of chocolate that doesn't melt in your mouth but stays nice and hard.” ;)

Now, one statement you should take out is when you mention discretion and you say “I expect the same from you.“ That can be seen as negative and pushy.

For photos, dressing nicely and showing your nice smile are always good ones. If you do want to show yourself dressed-down, do those while engaged in a fun activity, not just staring straight at the camera. Remember, classy and engaging always work best.

Good luck!

"I might also remove the picture of you smoking a cigar or any kind of smoking."

I hate smoking. It smells disgusting and makes my eyes water and my nose run. Nevertheless, I thought it was a hot photo. So, there's another data point.

Thank you for the feedback, I removed some pictures and uploaded others. I also tweaked the the profile itself. But please keep the opinions coming, I certainly appreciate it, and have pretty thick skin. I'm hard to offend and take constructive criticism very well.

I might also remove the picture of you smoking a cigar or any kind of smoking. My husband enjoy Cigars. I enjoy a cigar once in a while but there’s a lot of people who don’t like smokers.

Hi. Quick disclaimer: the advice you'll get in this section is generally really, really blunt. It's also well meant, so try to roll with it. I'm going to be extra blunt because I've been up a really long time, am not completely sober, and don't have a lot of filters at the best of times, which this isn't.

Okay, so, first, please put your dick away. As in, get it out of your public gallery and don't talk about it. Your profile, including your publicly available photos, is your introduction to people. Unless you routinely go up to people at parties and drop your pants so as to outline your equipment or talk about the size of your cock, please don't do it here. Or if you do, then understand that you'll be limiting the size of the pool you can fish in, because a many of us will just roll our eyes and think you don't know how to act. Instead, have cock shots in a private or personal gallery so those who do want to see what you're packing can and the rest of us can just wait until it's unwrapped.

The rest of your profile isn't bad, but some things could be better phrased (read it out loud and the what and where should become clear) and I'm probably not the only one who likes to know more about people than you've shared. So, maybe less about your height (it's in the toggles) and your dick (see above) and more about the kind of person you are and some of the things you like to do. The intent is to subtly charm while giving others enough of a sense of you that they want to meet you.

In Additional comments, it would be really helpful to state that your age is current and so are your photos. That's always the dicey thing in older profiles, so it helps to make it clear that you update both at least once a year.

You have two decent photos and a few more, without others, taken by someone else would be a good idea.

Other than that, I'd take "long term" out of your tagline and turn that "friend" into friends and adjust your age range preferences so that you're a little closer to the middle.

Good luck. Collect other opinions, make some changes and then I hope you'll come back for a review.

So, I'm looking for honest, constructive criticism with my profile. I'm a single guy, I get a lot of people (women and couples) to view my profile, but not enough messages to actually meet. I don't think I'm ugly, I'm not packing 12in, but I'm very satisfying with what I have. Is it my pictures? Am I fat? does my profile need to be re worded? I get a lot of "sorry, not interested messages and I'm trying to figure out exactly why? Check out my profile and offer honest criticism so I can turn things around. Thanks.
