profile critique

youre a single guy, you have no profile pic, your profile name is horrible. we would never get to the body of the profile, its not worth the time.

Not long at all, within an hour or two I think.

Swinging, the only way to change the name of your profile is to actually create a new profile with the desired name.

Once it is approved, you can send an email (from the old, paid profile) to Billing (that's the actual profile name) and ask them to transfer your membership to the new account.

In all other respects, it will be a new account though. Any past emails, etc.., will not be associated with the new account. Since yours is fairly new, that shouldn't be a big deal.

So, one more thing.

So far you’ve said “kool” and “thanx.”

If you ever used that in a profile or in a message, I would reject you instantly.

About 1/5th of the women in the LS are teachers and if we see that Juvenal grammar, we are going to veto you.

Just something to keep in mind.

trying to figure out how to change the handle now

I reckon I'll make some changes
Thanx for the input

So... To start this off-you have no public pictures. So you’re competing against every guy who has them.

There are so many single males on this site it’s crazy. So think about it-why would someone choose you?

Are you marketing yourself effectively?

Show don’t tell. OK, you’re fine and you like to party. Have you traveled? Do you know how to fly a plane?

Make yourself the most interesting guy on here. Get some public pictures of you dressed nicely and if you have the body for it, a shirtless picture at the beach.

Right now you’re just another blue Gumby in a sea of blue Gumby’s. Set yourself apart and then come back here and let us know and we can reevaluate.

Dude, your profile is scary. Like, really, I'm tempted to stop there, because based on your profile name and content, you know zero about women and I'm not sure I'd be doing the sisterhood any favors by making you look more appealing. This has nothing to do with your not being vanilla, btw. I'm about as vanilla as pistachio gelato with a swirl of lemon curd and I want to back away slowly and go look at cat pictures instead of what I'm doing

So, assuming you don't amuse yourself by torturing things or making skin suits out of your victims, I'm just going with the idea that it's a communication issue. I might need some reassurance to go with the cat photos, though.

First, terrible profile name. Why in God's name did you pick it? Even if you're a bond salesman, it's still terrible. If you're not, then there's even less excuse. Moving on. "closet super freak" is not reassuring. That makes sure nobody wants to have coffee with you. Kink is fine, although there are those who will tell you FetLife is a better venue for the kinky, and SLS works well for many of us. Your age range is standard single guy - half your age to a little above it. You'll have better results if you move the lower age up to 35, which will stop nobody younger, so you lose nothing with the change.

In Looking For, most of what you have doesn't belong there. The first line is fine, but this is also where you outline that you want a woman or women plus couples, as well as the qualities you'll be looking for in them. Don't editorialize about people being of a similar mindset, or if you do, it belongs in Additional information. No all caps sentences.

In Description, we already know your height and weight, so that can go, as can the semi-defensive "full!" That you need someone to relax and party with might be completely true, but there aren't a lot of women outside of a truck stop who are going to see that and say "pick me." Your exhibition/voyeur kink belongs in either Fantasies or Additional information. For the rest, could you describe what you actually offer to women? Work being single into your narrative instead of hurling it like a brick.

In Fantasies, don't be so specific as to when you had those experiences. You don't actually want to highlight how long ago they were. Spell out your words ("def" doesn't work), and find a different way to convey what you mean by light BDSM without introducing the idea that you might not know what you're talking about (impact play, done right, doesn't actually hurt, even though it looks as if it does). Lose the lines about being arrested and about kids, poo, permanent alterations. The chances of anyone asking you to piss on them or do scarification are pretty slim and you can say no without having it in your profile squicking out the rest of us.

Additional comments is a big no. It's you talking to yourself and it's both ineffective and a little entitled in the way it reads. You really don't want that.

Take photos and take good ones. No bathroom selfies. If you're lucky, Velma will show up and tell you exactly what to do, but in the meantime, start experimenting. If you don't want your face to show, there are lots of ways to obscure that. Look friendly, outgoing, happy and unthreatening, even if your face doesn't appear.

First off, welcome to the forums.

Secondly, are you absolutely set on that screen name?

I have tweaked mine a couple times...I'm not getting much response unless I'm bi... I came here for kool, friendly women/woman... I'd really like to find a compatible friend... I realize I'm not a "vanilla" kind of guy... but still a "good guy" ...
What do any of you see in my profile that I can make improvement in ? I'm sure there's plenty. ..
I've been on AFF in past years, but am new here. I gave it 2 months ,but almost -0- female response, but have had a couple bi sexual offers...
Again, I came here for female companionship...
