I’m not sure of you’ve made any corrections since the start of this conversation, so I’m commenting on what I just read.

My first thought is your pics and your narrative doesn’t jive. Your pics tell me you’ve likely a good looking guy and worthy of an email, while your narrative says keep-on-going because you don’t say enough positive comments about yourself and you’re confusing about what you want.

Right outta the box your first line isn’t about sex and says you’re looking for a pen pal" "If we hit it off that's great if not we can just talk.” What if somebody doesn’t want to talk if you don’t hit it off? If you wanna find somebody to talk to make that your priority - if you wanna find a lover make that first. I believe the idea you want to get across is you’re looking for sex either before or after conversation. If sex after conversation is important to you then write the reverse what you have, < I’m looking to hit it off with conversation first, them moving on to hitting it off in other ways too. >

I personally dislike extremely picky profiles as much as I dislike catch-all profiles that hope to hook a body with some arms, legs, and a torso, so it follows that I’m not a fan of "Big small tall doesn’t matter. Everyone needs loving.” Yes everyone needs loving but not from somebody who takes-on all comers or anything coming down the pipe. Maybe open your field of possibilities by limiting your choices < I’m a lover of big, small, and tall, petite, young and old; and how we communicate is what's important to me first. >

As for your 12-hour work schedule for half a year: I think t’s great that you’re employed but what’s that got to do with sex? If you build NASA rocket engines, launch ships, or program satellites lets hear about it - otherwise you have enough money to be a paid member and I'd leave it off. If you can’t leave if off your profile because your employment really takes you out for 6 months at a time, then I’d make your employment sound sexy as hell: <I work long and hard on a non traditional work schedule for 6 months of the year and when I’d done, I work just as long and hard on non-traditional partnerships for the remaining 6 months. >

I’d like to read more about you in Description: "I like to sing. I'm a big gamer. I fish when I want and go on the pontoon.” You have these in Additional Comments and they’d look good here. I’d also consider telling more about yourself so others can find similar interests: i.e. < I stay up late gaming and wish I worked out more. I love to fish and go out on my pontoon boat, I can’t get enough of old sit-coms, cuddling, and reading aloud to my lover. > That kinds stuff - or < I hate old sit-coms, can’t dance to rock-in-roll, and want to read adult one stories to my lover.>…say all true stuff about yourself that somebody else can relate to.

In Additional comments I like the way you say "Only experienced the traditional one on one. I want my first threesome…” I’d drop the rest and leave yourself innocent. The innocence of newbies to our lifestyle is a big turn on for us and that one line on yours brings that out. We see that line, it's stimulating to us and I’d leave it - maybe more corruptors of innocent with notice you too.

You have two references to alcohol use: "I like to have a couple drinks when I'm off work…” and “...when I drink I tend to loosen up…” I’d limit mentioning alcohol us to one positive statement. Mentioning that alcohol loosens you up a bit tells me you’re shy at first so I’d say it up front and continue with your innocent, newbie role. < I’m a bit shy and meeting over a drink helps me loosen up and not feel so nervous> Again-IMO, it’s the innocent newbie thing we find appealing.

So get some positive statements jiving with your hot pics and tell us if you get more hits being the innocent newbie we find so appealing...

Hi and welcome. @sorillo is right about pretty much everything.

If after going through some of the threads, you're still not sure what to do, feel free to post saying so. I'm sure some of us can come up with ways to help you talk and think about yourself so that you appeal to people you would like to meet. If even that feels daunting right now, feel free to email me and I'll see what I can do. It's better with more than one person though (and not just because this is a swinger's site and everything is better with more than one person).

Good luck. Don't give up.

I hate to say it, my best advice is going to be to dump virtually everything and start over. Photos, text, the works. I could go through all the individual points, but it's kind of a lost cause for this version of your profile. The biggest problem is that you're making yourself sound like you really don't like yourself and have a lack of confidence. That's going to be your biggest obstacle. Fact is, there's an awesome dude somewhere inside of you. You have to find that guy and figure out how to show that to other folks. It CAN be done, but you'll need to do a lot of work in order to make that happen. You CAN do it.

Best thing you can do right now is to start reading as many of the threads in Better Profiles to get a general idea what a good profile looks and reads like. Read other folks' profiles. Read the advice given to others and start your profile from scratch while keeping that advice in mind. Even if the advice was given to others, I think you'll be surprised to find that a lot of it will be applicable to you as well. Once you've done that, start writing. You'll have to do a lot of editing and changing things to get to your destination, but it's worth it.

After that's done, you'll have a good start on a profile that is ready for us to start looking at in detail. The folks who post here are often blunt, but they aren't malicious. They WANT you to succeed, as I do. It can be a bit painful, but ultimately we're rooting for you.

Good luck.
