The good is that you have concrete things you are into and I can tell what you like from your profile. The bad is that neither your pictures or words display much personality so it's not very memorable and doesn't stand out.
Also, kinky does not mean what you seem to think it means, but I'll deal with that later.
Description has one red flag - What do you mean pretty much no matter what? That you wear protection most but not all of the time? - and one area of concern - you've written "smelling good" twice, which is once too much and makes me worry you bathe in Axe. Some of us are serious about condom use and you seem to want to appear serious, but also not. Pick a side, or at least be clearer in your meaning.
The rest of the section isn't terrible, but it doesn't position you in a way that is interesting. I think the problem starts in the second sentence, or at least the whole thing flows better when you get rid of the life coach sounding bit. Also, you needn't mention your education more than once, so the second go round is unnecessary. Plus, you've compressed the only interesting part of this section into a list. I'd get rid of the part where you talk about the utmost, etc., and expand on the listicle instead.
Fantasies - Okay, a kink is an unusual sexual practice. What you have listed in the first section are not kinks. I have a fairly comprehensive collection of restraints and impact toys. That's a kink. Sloppy blowjobs? Not so much.
Instead of trying to reinvent the language around sex, try rewriting this section so it reflects your actual experience and one or two (non-graphic) fantasies.
Additional comments - Me too. Say more. Doesn't have to be a lot, but you can say why you like them or that you find it exciting to start that way or whatever else is true for you. Right now it's just a rock you've dropped into the conversation and nobody is going to go anywhere fun with it unless you say more.
The last problem is that you've been on SLS for nearly two years and you don't have a cert. That's a long time without anyone to vouch for you. You will definitely have more success if you manage to acquire a certification.
Good luck. Feel free to come back as many times as you need for review.
And I just discovered I should have proofread before I hit "submit" and raced out. Here's what should have been there, OP:
Hi. I looked at your profile yesterday and just couldn't muster up the enthusiasm needed to be fair as well as honest. It's not that you're standard issue single man, except in your deplorable bathroom selfie (please burn it on a very hot fire and go take new photos per Velma's advice), but there's just so much stuff to untangle that I'm viewing it the same way I'd approach a mess in my jewelry box. Oh, hey, look, seven necklaces are intertwined and not only do I not have the patience, I don't care enough to want to even start the process.
It's not you, though, just your profile. I'm sure you're lovely and well worth hours of time. I'm going to say some blunt, possibly mean sounding things, but they're kindly meant and the end goal is to remove the roadblocks between your profile and what you want. If I sound impatient, it's not personal.
So, with the warnings in place, let's begin:
Your tagline should be short and at least a little eye catching; clever if possible, sincere if not. Yours is a bit of a wasteland and a red flag all in one. It's not that friendships don't develop, because they definitely do, but this is a site for swingers and many of us aren't looking for them, even if we're open to them. So, you've just narrowed the size of your potential pool of partners before they've ever read your profile. Would you turn down a hot woman who just wanted to fuck you once? If the answer is yes, keep the tagline. If no, then change it.
Looking For sends up a red flag by using the word "relationships." One of the reason I gravitate towards married instead of single men is that I've found the latter group to be much clingier than the former. I'm not alone in that opinion. Are you clingy? No? Then find another way to say you prefer on-going interactions over one and done. Like, say you prefer on-going interactions over one and done. And talk about the couples and single women you would like to meet in a way that allows them to see themselves, at least a little. Do you want them to be smart? Fun? Quirky? Just write a little about the people you're looking for.
Oops - somehow I missed that Velma had already given her photo advice.
You're getting the standard disclaimer from me - if I'm mean it's because I don't like your profile, not you personally. Your profile has so much going on that has me saying "nope" that I'm not even sure where to begin.
Pick a writing style and use it consistently. Short, descriptive paragraphs usually work best. Lists (and you've used two different types) are not so good - they make people think of shopping lists (you're not really shopping here, are you?).
Selfies are not usually well done and make me think you have no friends - so ditch all four of the pictures I can see and have a friend (or even a stranger) take pictures of you. Velma's advice is great for core pictures in your public folder - she'll recommend a fully clothed, full body shot (date or church clothes but casual is fine), a beach or pool shot (to show off your body) and doing something fun. Always smile (even if you obscure your face) and watch for cluttered backgrounds.
Several things in your profile strike me as problems - you are iffy about protection, you seem to place a lot of emphasis on cleanliness or smelling good and you have misguided ideas about kinky. I think you need to give your profile a lot more thought, do a major rewrite and come back for another round of advice.
Good luck!

I think step one is that you need to ditch the selfie’s. Nobody looks good in the bathroom.
You need to take three pictures. You need a picture of you at the beach a picture of you dressed nicely like you’re going to somebody’s wedding or church services, and you need to take a picture of you doing something fun like rock climbing around a ball game. He’s pictures need to be taken by somebody else.
Selfies can be fine in some circumstances that I like to know that you have friends. If you’re self-conscious about having someone else take your picture, get over it.
Take the new pictures and repost.
I've rewritten my profile several times trying to write one that is appealing and stands out amongst all the single male profiles here. I really do value this lifestyle and want others to see my genuine and down to earth fun character. Thank you for any help!
