Not having much luck, any advice?

Agree with what the others have said and just want to add that perhaps you want to look into some local parties. If you can carry on a conversation and look anywhere as nice as your pictures, you will do well.

As for your profile, try to look at it from someone else's point of view. Based on your profile text, what sort of conversation points do you offer? It's certainly not void of them. Someone into listening to live music or shooting pool could invite you to meet over drinks or inquire about your hot tub.

The smoking does limit you but there are smokers that are more considerate than others, so that may be something to mention if you are.

It's always nice to hear what your expectations might be, Are you reaching out to people or are you expecting them to contact you? If you are reaching out, assuming you are looking at similar couples, what are your expectations? I'm hearing that if you even hear back at all from 20% of the people you reach out to, that is considered pretty good.

Of the ones you do interact with, you're lucky if you get to meet 50% of them, depending on your and their schedules/availability. If we get to a point of actually meeting people, we will usually get to play with somewhere between 50-75% of them.

Contrast that with a LS party and we have about a 90% chance that we'll meet and play with one or more couples and the Mrs has about a 99%+ chance of playing with SMs, if she's in the mood for that.

As I mentioned in the Open Forum where you posted initially - just reading other reviews will give you a lot of helpful advice. If you have read a few you will hopefully understand that while the tone is often blunt (and can feel like we're being mean) we genuinely want your profile to bring you success.

The fact that you are both smokers may limit your success a bit. Some people avoid smokers because they are extremely sensitive and/or allergic to smoke - it lingers in your hair and clothing no matter how long it's been since your last cigarette. Not much you can do about that other than be aware that it will have an impact.

Your pictures are wonderful. Over time you might want to pare down or replace some of the selfies. You have a lot that are very similar and selfies are rarely a good look (although yours are better than most). You can easily take pictures of each other; strangers as well as friends are happy to take a picture or two of you together.

Your text looks like you gathered all the generic sound-bites you could think of and crammed them into Looking For. And then you realized you had to have content in Description so you added a few more there. Making a list works for gathering your thoughts but conversational paragraphs containing complete sentences is usually more appealing. So read other reviews and profiles for ideas, think about the section headers and start composing your profile again from scratch.

Let us know when your updated profile has been approved if you'd like additional advice.

Good luck and have fun!

We agree with others that your pictures are well done. Add some detail to your profile and pay attention to the headings — at the time of our viewing you’re mixing “about you” into “what your looking for”. Really tell us about you and what you’re looking for.

The good: I think your pictures are very good and you are showing faces and full body. So bravo. I opened a private gallery to show you what kinds of pictures you should have, but I don’t think you need my help there.

The bad: Your profile is a little sparse. It’s obvious that the male half is in some kind of band or is into music. This really should be mentioned in the profile because it could hook in other music lovers,

The Ugly: The male half has a rather unique look that may not appeal to every woman. This is probably not what you want to hear, but the first thing I thought of is Billy Ray Cyrus.

I will fuck pretty much anything from guys I don’t like to batshit crazy girls to bathroom sinks, but I will not fuck Billy Ray Cyrus.

Am I asking you to change who you are? No. If deep down inside your Achy Breaky Heart, this is who you are than by all means rock it. But I’m going to give you the same advice I give men with Santa beards and girls with hairy armpits. You do you, Boo. But the further you deviate from the norm, the fewer people will be interested.

So that’s my theory on why some couples aren’t interested. Up to you on if you want to change that.

Pics are excellent imo because they not only show your full physical appearance, but they also show your personalities. In short, you look like a fun couple.

Your written profile text shows none of that and is about as bland and vanilla as you can get. If you can get your profile text to send the same message that your pics do, you shouldn't have any problem. Be creative and let your personalities shine through.

Looking for constructive criticism on our pics and profile bio, we are looking for couples and haven't had much luck yet. Of course we get all the single guys sending us messages but unfortunately not a lot of couples have not reached out to us. Are we doing something wrong
