Rhetorical question - How long did you date your significant other before you got intimate?
Just looking for some pointers
By the way, in case nobody has said it directly -- LOWER or completely let go of any and all expectations. Online dating sucks in the vanilla world. It's even worse here.
A few things:
Your pix look almost all the same, so yes to the full-body shots and variety. If you're worried about how you look... don't. Many of us have real-life, non-model bodies! I'm just assuming that's why the pix are same: you look good. But once you meet anyone they'll know, and clothes often make us look better than we are naked lol
These tiny boxes for writing anything in each section is hard to edit, so go with Word or whatever you use for docs. You can copy and paste without waiting for approval on every change. You'll probably want to update your profile once in a while anyway, when (if?) you change your play rules, fantasies, and experiences.
Definitely get the right info in the right box! I hate it when the wrong thing gets in my box lol
You're new here, so keep in mind there may be some bumps, flakes, no-shows, and ghosts. Just like in "real life".
Remember you can block anyone who is obnoxious or more persistentthan you like. Some people block for other things, too. Also useful is the Note section. Others can't see what you put there, but it's a good spot for anyone who doesn't respond, or you meet at a party, or whatever.
Good luck!
Former marketing person here -- Depends a LOT on what you are hoping to accomplish and who you are trying to attract. Who is your desired audience, and what are you selling?
Right now, to me, your profile reads with more of a quad poly dating dynamic
A lot swingers are here for the sex - living out sexual fantasies, and being open about how wonderful and fun sex is.
People in the swinging community tend to be in this space (and this site in particular) because they don't want to have to perform courting rituals to have sex. Long term FWBs are awesome, but being required to court over a period of time before you might feel a spark that makes you want to get naked? Nah. Not appealing. It's difficult enough to find a time and a location that works for all 4 people. Now you're adding a dating ritual to that? Meh.
BUT some swingers might like that.
It's assumed that if you have children, they will come first. That definitely doesn't belong in that first section. If you feel a need to address it at all, put it in the last section.
I disagree entirely with the age range advice. Put in there whatever you are comfortable with. 15 years is a healthy range. Besides, it's also probably the most ignored preference on the site. I forgot it existed.
Age requirement is too limited. Expand it
Overall, I get the impression you are a cute nerdy couple that would probably require a fair amount of patience and hand holding. That isn't a criticism and is useful for any potential partner to know. Some swingers would prefer play partners that are more cautious rather those going Full-Marine and fucking everything that moves.
However, the profile does get dangerously close to making you sound like too much of a project.
On the picture front, I would say get rid of the ones where your Mr. has a full head of hair. Try to get more action pictures if possible, or of shots with more interesting scenes. Overall, I don't think pictures will be the limiting issue here, which gets me into your bio section:
Tagline:
It leaves a lot to be desired. You want a hook of some sort, a call to action. Lean into your nerdiness. Maybe something along the lines of "Let's see if we roll a 20 for compatibility check" something like that.
Looking For:
This is all worded too negatively in my view. I get the idea of what you are after, but the whole thing reads less like qualifying and then inviting, and more like disqualifying. I'd write something more along the lines of this:
We are looking for a patient couple or woman for ongoing and progressively kinkier fun. We are still new to this but very much eager to learn and see what sort of nerdgasm inducing fun we can get into.
Maybe add something in here about having a preference for Kink. There is some debate on whether this is useful information or not, but in my mind since you are looking for more consistently play partners (at least that is the vibe I get from the profile), I think it is worth the risk of putting off more vanilla swingers for the benefit of attracting more kinky ones.
Description:
This is way too short. Add information about your hobbies. Do you have some unique double-jointed feature that lets you wrap your own legs around your head? I want to hear about that.
Fantasies and / or real experiences:
This is your best section, in my view. I like the call to action at the end. It had a few too many sentences that started off with the same two words. I'd slightly reword it to the following:
We are a Dom and Brat couple that like to switch it up on occasion and prefer things a bit rough. If you are interested, tell us your safe word.
Hi. Welcome to Better Profiles. The advice you get here is generally blunt, but it's well meant and about your profile. It can be uncomfortable though, so be advised.
So, first, your photos confuse me because they don't always seem to be of the same people. I mean, I know they're you, but were they even taken in the same year? Because they should be and you'd be much better off if you followed Velma's advice in the sticky at the top of this section of the forums, particularly insofar as you do some full length photos of you in date night clothes in lieu of multiple car selfies.
Given your ages, your age range is fine, but you're not going to find a ton of people who fit within it. Might want to widen it some on the top end and then just say no to people who approach you and feel too old.
Your tagline has a misspelling and it mistakes the reason for taglines, which is to invite people to open your profile and get to know something about you. Yours kind of does the opposite by making you sound unconvinced about this whole swinging thing. Go for short and, if your brain works that way, clever.
Regardless of content, a list is probably the least effective way to connect with others and any time you've got more than one sentence that's the choice you made. Go for a paragraph instead, connecting the ideas into a pleasing whole.
As far as content, Looking For is not meant to be about you and it certainly isn't meant to include your private agreements about playing together and the centrality of your family. Instead, make this about the people you're looking for and then what you're looking for, doing so in a way that makes them the focus. And if you're primarily looking for women (not females, please) and women, you need to fix your toggles, which indicate the reverse.
In Description, you need to do better. Give people the opportunity to like you or at least be inclined to do so. What you have isn't bad, but it isn't very compelling. So say more. What are some of the things you like to do together - and, no, not sexually.
If you get rid of the listicle in Fantasy, add in that you're currently new but eager to learn (since that doesn't belong where you have it), leave out the part about friendships, which - once you've fixed the awkward phrasing - belongs in Looking For, you're good.
Please don't leave Additional comments blank. You can put anything you like there, but end on a high note. Again, the point is to interest people, so charm is good here.
That's all I have for now. Good luck.
Hey guys and girls if you could check out our profile lets us know if we could do anything for it to be more appealing let us know
