Make Profile POP!

Disclaimer: You're asking for help which sends the message that you're not getting the results that you want. While others may feel differently, hearing the opinion of someone who wouldn't respond positively to you might give you the insight you're looking for.

The profile comes across fake. Stevie Wonder could see the pics are clearly from a lengthy time span, the text feels written by a man, there's no certs but you claim to be sport-fuckers, and you didn't reply to someone we know is real. I'd put you in the "pic collector" category, with a quick, hard pass and a block were you to reach out to us.

How do you fix that if you really are a couple, really are in the LS, and really are DTF as you say you are? Start over and do it together.

Get rid of all your pics and start fresh. Your best place to start is with a current full length couples photo at a specific event that can be time-stamped, like in front of a NYE sign, or at a local concert/play/musical/sporting event. That proves that you're real, you're a couple, and the pics are current. Take another at a recognizable LS venue (in Nashville I'd recommend the balcony at Menages, a playroom at Chemistry, the lake at Beach Bums, the pool at Pandora's or Pleasure Lake) to prove you are both really on board with the LS. Follow Velma's suggested format for the rest of them (it's in nearly every thread in this topic).

Get some certs. Give a cert to get a cert if you must, but make them from people who have credible certs themselves. We know a local "couple" (it's really just a man) who has created multiple accounts to cert themselves so that's not concrete proof you're real, but it's better than no certs at all.

The text...it's written like you plucked lines from other people's profiles. It adds to the fake feeling, particularly when coupled with the initial post in this thread. It feels like a marketing exercise, rather than a reflection of who the two of you are and how you play. Stop trying to create the perfect profile, and write from the heart TOGETHER.

As for not replying to emails/IM's, don't be a douche. Treat people the way you want to be treated. We've been intimidated by couples before (they're too hot, too fit, too..whatever) and conversely we've both been uninterested, BUT WE STILL POLITELY SAY NO if they've made a sincere effort to engage us (and Velma writes good emails, so I have no doubt it was a sincere effort). If you subscribe to the "no reply IS a reply" school of thought you're correct...no reply is a reply that tells them you're a couple of assholes. If you're truly sport-fuckers eventually you'll meet one of those couples in person at a LS resort and trust me, you'll regret not responding politely. If you need a polite way to do it, say so, we'll gladly share ours.

Good luck!

I'm guessing I am seeing the profile after the suggested changes have been made. Not sure what was there previously, but based on the current condition, I do believe it is very good now.

This is why there are 31 flavors at Baskin Robbins. We both throughly enjoyed the profile. We liked that you outlined the type of play you enjoy. A lot of profiles we look at are overly coy about “their thing”. Not you two, and we respect that. There was enough to catch our attention and keep digging for other fun nuggets.

Perhaps a few more pictures of the Mr would be our only suggestion.

For us, you’d be a yes. More pop needed? We’d say no :)

Thanks for all of the honest critiques! We really appreciate your comments and will adjust.

I'm usually the kinder, gentler version of blunt around here but there is something about your profile that just irritates me. Please remember that everything is about your profile and not you personally.

Actually the irritation started before I even looked at your profile - the "POP!" in the forum subject and "21" in your screen name had me thinking that I was going to have a grumpy old person reaction to a couple of twenty-somethings. I know we're all here for sex but personally I find it very difficult to connect with people if their profile is all about sex. I'm not alone in needing some sort of mental connection and/or common interests - and if it's not in your profile then I'm likely to pass you by.

Some balance in your profile would be good - more about your personality & interests and less about sex, more pictures of him & both of you together and fewer of her, pictures showing how you dress in public not just showing off your bodies, an age preference range with you near the middle instead of at the upper limit, etc. What you do have isn't terribly bad but it's just one dimensional. And if you delete the information that shows in pictures there is very little left about you.

Hope this helps - let us know if you want additional advice after making some revisions.

Good luck and have fun!

Half of the Description text can be seen from the many pictures, so not really needed. It comes across as you are looking for NSA sex. That's OK if you are, but you should probably say so if you are and otherwise give some ideas about other interests if looking for FWBs.

I suspect the pool of people looking for FWBs is much larger that the ones looking for NSA sex. Many of the latter may not be the type you are looking for (physically) and the former may not be able to picture themselves with you. A profile can't be all things to all people, but if you decide what you want, you can make it "pop" more for whatever your target audience is. You just need to decide what that target audience is because I'm not sure I'm really getting that from your profile.

Hi. I hope you read other threads in this section and are prepared for the bluntness you're likely to find here. It can feel harsh.

I wanted to prepare you, because I'm going to be blunt and it might not feel good, but it's kindly meant.

I think you have way too many photos and as a result, I got bored. Fewer would have greater impact and I really would suggest that if you don't have one (I can't remember) you include a clothed photo of the two of you together.

Your tagline is serviceable, but you could certainly do way better.

Your age range, from young enough to be your children to a very few years older is likely to make a poor impression, plus it indicates you're coming to the end of your sexual viability.

As for the rest, I'm glad you're happy with what you have, but if it's a good reflection of who you are, then you'll be limited to those who want fast, furious and shallow interactions.

If you want something with more depth, dial down the sex and dial up the personality and vanilla interests.

And seriously consider certs. After two years, the lack is rather noticeable.

Good luck.

So to start, we wrote you about two years ago. The legacy e-mail is still available, and you two never wrote us back.

So I am coming at this from the standpoint of a couple who considered us so unworthy that they didn’t even bother responding to our email.

Don’t know the story behind that and I don’t care, but if you are having trouble finding couples, your attitude and not your profile may be the culprit.

The lack of certs after three years on this site doesn’t bode well for you either.

I think you are fine picture and text wise, you just may want to rethink how you interact with couples.

While l enjoyed writing the profile, I'd like to get another set of eyes to critique it. We'd love to make it 'pop' even more and grab peoples' interest. Any suggestions?
