Hello,
I am new to the site.
Might you take a look at my profile and offer feedback and advise. I would be so grateful.
Thank you, Mark
Some of the selfies are good... it's just that he first thing I thought of was Dieter from the SNL Sprockets skit. Maybe it was the oversized sunglasses?
I actually don't think you should take more pictures, you should take new pictures.
One of my favorite things is seeing guys do interesting things. Ride a bike, climb a mountain, run a race, fly a plane. Just nothing that involves a gun or a fish.
I'm not quite sure what to think of your profile. I might reply to you but I wouldn't contact you on my own.
Toning down the sex and adding more vanilla information can only help. Save most of the sexy details for conversation with potential playmates - right now you might be scaring people off. Sit down and look at the entire profile - you've got information in all the wrong places. Rearrange what you have and try to pare it down to essentials and generalities - leave yourself something to talk about in person.
You've already realized that selfies are a bad look - tripods, timers and/or remotes are great tools. In your public gallery a full body photo, nicely dressed, along with a good face shot (smiling, of course), is essential. Adding a pool photo to show off your body and maybe a couple additional photos doing something you enjoy - and you're done. Of your current photos I only like #4, #7, #9 and maybe #1.
Good luck, stay safe and have fun!

"I think I'll setup my photography gear and make some boudoir-esque... images."
Why? You have 16 photos currently and most of them show a lot of skin. One of those is enough, maaaybe two if the second one is more playful than informative about body type. Women aren't men and you're more likely to appeal with a smiling face and a well dressed body than pretty much anything else, particularly partial or full nudity, which is the single guy du jour approach and not particularly effective unless you're trolling for other guys.
As far as your text, Looking For is really meant to be about who you're looking for and something about what. It's not where you take up the entire section talking about you. Also, who besides you is going to be interested in all the things you aren't into? Try to focus this section on other people. You're looking for couples and women, are interested in all body types, and... what then? Leave room for others here. Also, if you're generally satisfied with friendship rather than sex, MeetUp is great, SLS not so much.
In Description, you're including things that can be shared with those who ask and otherwise can be a surprise. That would be the size of your balls, how many times you cum, your stamina, how you sex, and your average cock because, again, it's women who have veto power and if women were all that interested in any of those things before we got to know you, we would talk about our pussies the way guys talk about their dicks. Seriously, anyone interested in that information ahead of time will ask.
Instead, stick with things like your interests in this section and a bit about what sort of person you are.
In Fantasies, you can do a little less on fantasies and add something about your experience. The idea here is to be relatable rather than give the impression that it's all about you and your needs and desires, which can happen if you focus too broadly on alllll the things you're looking for.
This is the place you say you're a switch. You can discuss specific limits on an individual basis.
Additional comments is informative, but you might want to think about how to end on a positive note.
Good luck. If the above sounds harsh, eh, my apologies. The intent is to inform and to help you improve your chances here.
Thanks for the feedback. I will make the changes appropriately.
Also, I've noticed that selfies from smartphone cameras are such wide angle lenses that objects closest to it are magnified. This is great for boobs and butts, but it makes my nose look big and ugly LOL. I think I'll setup my photography gear and make some boudoir-esque or ideal lighting/composition images. I add minimal retouching / enhancement to my photos to make them more appealing.
I agree, writing should be more conversational instead of a wish list.
I think you have too many pictures. I would pair them down a little.
Keep 2,3,4, and 10.
The rest make you look like Diter from the SNL skit "sprockets."
The bars should be open again in Georgia. Have a friend of yours take a picture of you dressed nicely at a bar.
When it comes to text:
"At this point I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. But I'll know it when I find it. "
Take this out. Nothing is worse than a guy who doesn't know what he wants.
It's very open and welcoming, which is good. Also your pictures very adequately show you. However, it has an almost clinical feel to it - not a lot of playfulness in the writing or the pictures.
I've received a moderate amount of responses so far. I'm wondering if my profile could be any better with either more pics or description of myself, looking for, and experiences/fantasies. Any feedback or constructive criticism appreciated.
