Profile review

I don't know why but I cant get it to save my weight. May have to email the admins or something. Hey if people make assumptions about nerds, then let em. I am who I am. :) OH I wanted to ask earlier. Why did you mention to remove the emoji from the tagline?

I love the Yoda Santa hat, but I go to Worldcon and nerds are my people. I personally believe we are Legion, but if you're lucky, Velma will tell you about her assumptions around nerds and geeks. Actually, we'd all be lucky, because it's fucking hilarious.

Thanks Molly, Ill go make some more changes. You don't like the Yoda Santa hat?

You would think, but the ears, man. The ears. . ;-)

Okay, your changes are live and you just need a few alterations. But first, go put something in your weight stat that isn't zero. Because, yes, confidence is sexy.

Apparently complete sentences aren't your thing, so imma leave that how it is. But you need an extra blank line before "Confidence is..." Also, move the section starting with "I love to travel..." down to Additional comments, add an extra blank line before "420 friendly" and then end with what's in that section now.

Other than that, an MMF is not the same thing as an MFM. If your orientation as straight is correct, you have MFM experience rather than MMF.

I think this is much, much better and shows personality and authenticity. Good job.

Just realized I was commenting about grammar and used "you're" instead of "your", so do as I say, not as I do...lol

A profile is something that probably can and should go through multiple revisions. I will re-read mine at times and even after 100 revisions, probably still have typos. I will on occasion cut/paste the whole thing into MS word and let it pick out some issues that I will correct. I will find better ways to say the same thing or find things that I like in other profiles and do something similar in ours.

Some people are just looking for a reason to say No, and something as small as grammar could be that thing. The Message to hit ratio online is already a low number, so anything you can do to increase the odds in your favor is a good thing.

I would think that picture completely explains itself. Lol

Okay, well, your profile hasn't changed, but you've eliminated one gallery and made a few alterations in your photos. I hope when your profile edits go through there will be an explanation of why you're wearing a hat with ears and standing behind Artoo.

Thanks for all the feedback. Made some changes and hopefully they get pushed through soon!

You can totally end Additional comments with your first sentence, so long as you clean up the grammar.

Which brings me to this: Your spelling is pretty terrible, so do not make changes on your phone. Instead, use an actual desktop or laptop and then run the whole thing through a spelling and grammar check.

Finally, I don't eat toast so I have no opinion about whether you are or are not. Also, I don't like Nutella or any jam except apricot. What I do know is that underneath whatever the hell is getting in the way of properly marketing yourself is someone charming who could have a lot of success doing this. I think you're probably better off exploring meet and greets, parties and clubs rather than wasting your time going the route that doesn't play to your strengths (did I mention your spelling is terrible? Yes? Good. It is. So spell check every message you send out too.), but you can also succeed here too, if you make changes and give it some time.

Good luck. Make a bunch of changes and then come back for a review. We can keep it up as long as you can. So to speak. ;-)

"if you're profile has a lot of grammar issues..."

And that, my friends, is an example of Muphry's Law (no, not a typo). ;-)

Okay, OP (that's you, Kocheze4U), you're not going to get roasted, but I'm not going to be particularly kind either. Do your best to just listen and know that I wouldn't bother if I didn't want you to get the things you want out of swinging.

So, first, four of your photos are duplicated in your two public galleries. Just delete the Me one, because it's unnecessary. You don't actually need to take new ones of you in a suit, but nice date clothes that fit would be a good look. Jeans are fine too, but lose the dad style.

Next, whatever you weigh, own it and put it in your profile. If you're signaling discomfort with your current body, why would I want to get you naked? We don't need to be perfect, just confident enough to be unselfconscious about our bodies.

Your tagline isn't terrible, although funny and/or short would be better. Just make sure to change it periodically and rotate your default photo at the same time. Do lose the emoji though. I'll explain why if you need me to or you can trust me that it sends the wrong signal.

In Looking For, at the moment you're basically telling people that either you're attracted to almost anyone or you just don't give a shit. I'm pretty sure that's not your intent. So instead of subtly undercutting people, how about you use complete sentences to say you're looking for single women and couples with a great sense of humor. The part about wanting to find a partner in crime (and maybe put it that way so as not to rule out partnered women with very elastic hall passes) for travel could go here too, with the details - swingers' cruise, resort, etc. - better off in Additional comments.

This section is meant to be about the people you're looking for and then what you're looking for, so the part in Description about wanting to meet people you can have a drink with, etc., goes in this section rather than where it's at.

So, now that I've eliminated most of what you have in Description, what does go there? Well, again, you need complete sentences for the most part (the sentence that starts "Been" is fine that way), the first few lines are okay, but lose part about no guy/guy (you can say so when it comes time to talk about your limits), and then think about what you're doing here.

This is an introduction and you have to use words to take the place of the body language and expressions that would do over half your sales job if you were meeting someone at a party. You have a nice face, no fashion sense, and no kids, but people will want to know more. So, who are you? What are some of the things you like to do? You have a nice start with the quiet little dive bar, because it's a telling detail and kinda charming, but there's more to you. You needn't spill your guts, but do say more about yourself. Doesn't have to be a ton, just another layer of detail.

Fantasies looks phoned in. You say you have been in the lifestyle for some time, but then you ignore the place where you could be giving a little detail. Couples looking for another guy will want to know if you have MFM experience. This is where you say you like playing with couples. And if you use complete sentences, it won't be a mystery as to whether you're being aspirational or talking about your experiences. For fantasies, don't be graphic, but do outline one or two if you have any that are unfulfilled.

Definitely read some other reviews - a lot of advice given to other single gentlemen will pertain to your profile. The two biggest problems I see is zero weight in your stats and your pictures.

You want people to read your profile - I'd pass based on the flyover as soon as I saw zero weight. Pretty sure I'm not alone with that sentiment - if we put ourselves out there with accurate stats you should be willing to as well.

Find the best fitting pair of dress slacks and dress shirt in your closet and get someone to take a few pictures for you. If you are still in the process of losing weight you may need to purchase new - but you need at least one pair of slacks that fit well anyhow. I understand that the casual, slightly oversized look is simpler while losing weight - but it isn't a look that will entice many to read your profile. And selfies are rarely a good look (and seem to imply you have no friends). Almost anyone will take a picture of you if you just ask. You only need a few good pictures (full body, nicely dressed & face pic) to set yourself apart from the crowd - just remember to smile and watch for clutter or visual chaos in the background. Don't have multiples of essentially the same picture - less is more so pick the best.

Do some research reading profiles and reviews, update your profile and come back for more advice.

Good luck and have fun!

Best bet is to take a look through some of the prior profile reviews to get some ideas of content. As Velma pointed out, there isn't a lot of hooks for people to engage in a dialog. I know it sounds petty, but if you're profile has a lot of grammar issues (i.e. punctuation/capitalization, etc), it just gives someone a reason to say "Pass". Why give them that reason?

So you need to take new pics.

Your profile is a resume. Would you submit a resume to a company and say “I haven’t updated it since my last job”,or would you update your resume before you submitted your application?

1. Take new pictures.
2. Take good pictures.
3. Update your pictures every few weeks to keep it fresh.

All of your suit pictures are old? That isn’t my problem, that’s your problem. Why would I pick you when I can find someone else who looks good in a suit?

Think about what you bring to the table. Remember you aren’t just competing with every other single guy, you are also competing with our husbands.

What do you bring to the table that sets you apart? What makes you toast with Nutella or Jam or peanut butter?

Ok. Profile is in the toaster lol. Pics I need to figure out. All the pics I have of me in suits are from when I was heavier than I am now.

I don’t really roast people. Your biggest problem is that you are toast.

You know... you are just toast. No butter. No jam. There is nothing interesting or special about you. You’re just a piece of boring toast.

The other thing is that ... is jeans and a hoodie really the best you can do? If you don’t give a shit about your appearance, what are you going to look like when you show up for a date?

Talk about all the interesting things I know that you do and take some pictures with you dressed nicely like you were going out.

I feel like I am asking to be roasted but here we go. I'm not good at talking about myself so I know my profile needs work. Plus I have received a lot of views and no responses. Thanks.
