Thank you everyone for your comments. I'm going to start changing things this weekend. And I'll drop in some new pics soon :)

That would be "too" old. Dammit for lack of an edit function.

Hi. In case you don't know how this works (I'm not being sarcastic, I promise), sometimes people say seemingly mean things about profiles. It can feel really personal and as if you're being attacked. I solemnly swear that I'm going to say mean things but they aren't about you, they're about the impression your profile might leave on people, and rather than doing it as an outgrowth of being a bitchy person, it's because I really, really want everyone to get laid. That includes you.

You spend a lot of time mentioning age. My initial impression - because it's a LOT and a lot of mentions about anything is a red flag - is that you're uncomfortable being over 50. And, no, saying age is just a number doesn't erase that negative impression. So maybe remove every single mention of age, including where your sweet spot is for women (you have toggles for that, which currently disagree with your text). It at least will give the impression of confidence, which is warranted, because there is a huge demographic slice in your age group and you're not to old for anyone in the 35 and up range. That means you need to change your tagline as well.

Description should start at the second paragraph. It's work out, not workout, complete sentences would be an improvement, say more about your interests (without the errant capital letters) and consider whether you need to say you're 420 friendly. it would turn off people like me without necessarily being a draw for others, who could always ask if that was something you were into.

I like Fantasies, but the emoji can go, as can the capital letter for kink.

In Additional comments, yoga isn't capitalized and, yeah, that last paragraph can go die wherever out of date internet legends scurry off to. Instead, this is where you put the information about being partnered. You're going to have to do some rewording, because right now your inability to find couples with whom there was a four way attraction is spun in a negative way. So, think about how to spin it positively. One way might be to say that the two of you want such widely different types of people that you have been unable to find it in a single couple. Or, really, whatever is true for you, but in such a way that it lands pleasantly.

Good luck.

I hope you make some changes and then come back for a review.

A big Philly like “Yoooooooo" to the West Coast writer from LaMesa with a roller coaster profile. Your narrative lifted me up initially before it took me down hill so quickly that I felt the need to self medicate.

Your opening gets it right "Seeking female hottie in 50-60s who wants a boytoy with an AARP card ;) for FWB NSA LTR fun!…” I like that except for the emoji. Your writing then plummeted me downhill one sentence later with “Semi-Newbie. I’m also partnered. We tried meeting couples together. But finding the right match and chemistry times-two proved trying.” REALLY - No Shit!! (So you, know I rarely use all caps). It tells me you’re a cheating spouse, or you're earnestly dissatisfied with your partner’s ability to draw-in suitable partners and you’re branching out to increase your odds. Fair enough, but your description’s a turn-off. I’d suggest abandoning that painful paragraph and constructing one that softens the delivery of your big news in some other way, like << I also have a lifestyle partner. She maintains her own page at TheyPlayWithHerFirst. We play separately or together depending on your comfort, our chemistry and your pleasure. >> Maybe others have suggestions.

I managed to make it back to stable ground with your remaining narratives until you took me subterranean again with your bogus privacy ending"...legal ramifications. (US CODE: TITLE 18. PART 1. CHAPTER 119. § 2511.” 71 words found their way onto your profile about some urban legend and only 17 words appeared about you. There needs be some kinda medication to cure that kind of imbalance; like good editing and devoting this entire section to YOU.

Okay, so Velma didn't like it. You should ALWAYS listen to Velma. She's a goddess. She knows her shit.

On the other hand, I found it completely charming. You made me laugh. Adorable. I would totally fuck you and I don't give married/attached guys the time of day (except Ryan). Velma is right, tho, you put too much emphasis on your age. I'd tone that down. You are obviously too sensitive about it. Being 50 is really not that big a deal, particularly for other people in their late 40-50s. No one notices but you.

Your picture is completely not attractive. The blurring doesn't help and it's not needed. Your back is already to us.

The "warning" at the bottom is an urban legend. It marks you as a newbie. You're not actually going to sue anyone. Remove it. I made a joke about that particular urban legend in my profile, "Bad, bad, researcher, no biscuit!"

Rather than repeating picture advice which we do at length, almost every time...
Go read posts in the thread, "Better Profiles: Photography 101 - tips here"
I just added my standard advice to that thread.

Your first issue is that you need better pictures . I’m not exactly sure how you took that picture-I think maybe you’re in your bathroom pointing the camera in the mirror. I don’t know. But nothing about it says sexy.

A Single male basically needs three pictures-a picture of them dressed up like they’re going out on a date, a picture of them dressed casual and maybe doing something interesting such as vacationing or sailing or rock climbing And maybe a picture of them shirtless such as getting out of the pool or on the beach.

Work on your pictures first.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to go through each and every line of your profile right now, but honestly the whole thing needs to be thrown out.

You spend a lot of time talking about how old you are and it isn’t attractive. You’re 52. I’ve fucked guys much older. Talk about your hobbies and hopes and dreams instead.

Hello! If anyone wants to give me feedback on my profile, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Is it working? Do you see anything I can improve upon?

Thx!
