You've been given great advice already. We will just add that no pics of him and no certs is a definite disqualifier for us as well. Faces can be hidden behind a private gallery but we won't agree to meet without seeing faces.
Yom tov, Velma.
Hi, LadyHumpsDD. Velma already gave the standard disclaimer, but I'd like to attach the rider that I really do just want you to get laid and that means eliminating the stuff in the way.
So, you've been on here since 2007. That means you've either been doing this since you were 22 or have forgotten to update your ages. That's one uncertainty that will affect the number of people who approach you. Another is your lack of certs. Eleven years and not one? Plus you're still almost exclusively soft swap? That and the negativity in your profile kinda adds up to some drama potential that will keep others away. In addition, your photos are not particularly appealing and will definitely not interest women (we have our own body parts, thanks). The absence of a full body shot of you or any photos of him will further limit the pool willing to take a chance on you.
For specific advice, in Looking For, it's best if you confine yourself to talking about who you're looking for and what you'd like to do with them, keeping information about yourselves for the next section.
In Description, please no with the Ken and Barbie cliché. You aren't 85, so don't trot that one out. Also, if that's your kik, it's against SLS TOS. Use this section to describe the kind of people you are and what you like. Your photos should be providing the descriptions of your physical bodies and will do so far more effectively than words.
Fantasies is kind of a mess of missing words and typos. At the very least, fix that and remove the negativity if you'd like to avoid turning people off. Also, please adjust your toggles to reflect that you're mostly soft swap.
In Additional comments, you've thoroughly confused me. You're mostly soft swap but you have hall passes? That's such a WTF that I barely made it to the end. Anyway, the first three sentences are just a waste of space, talking about things no one but you will care about and increasing the chance that people will see you as drama bombs. And telling men to share internet duties with women is just...no. Don't be prescriptive in your profile; it won't go well.
Please make whatever changes feel appropriate to you, run the whole thing through spell check, read it out loud to find the errors spell check won't, and then come back and ask for a review.
Good luck.
I got some time at work, so I'm going to try to knock this out.
I’m going to start by saying not to take anything I say personally. If I didn’t care, I just wouldn’t post. I’m going to say some things that may sound mean, or that you don’t agree with. You can agree with me or disagree with me, but if you listen to me, you will have a better outcome.
I’m going to start with saying that there is overwhelming thread of negativity that is woven through your profile. I kept wincing as I read. I personally would never say “10,000 views and only a few emails.” In order to be successful, you have to project the image of success.
Being on since 2007 and not having any certs is definitely hurting you. You may feel one way about certs and that is fine, but the fact is that people use them to determine whether you are real. If you don’t have any certs and the have been on since 2007, I’m going to assume that you aren’t serious.
You mention not having face pics. I get a little concerned when someone says that they can’t have face pics because they are “professional.” I guarantee that if you were as successful or important as you think you are, you wouldn’t be on SLS. Blur your faces or put them in the private section. Very few people are willing to go out of their way to text or email face pics. It’s a pain in the ass and just makes you seem, again, not real.
Now, before I say what I’m going to say next, I have to preface it with a disclaimer. I’ve always been “the fat friend.” Yeah, I’m fit, and I run and cycle and do triathlons, but I always seem to hover between a size 10 and a size 14 and that’s pretty much my body type. I was the perpetual wing man of my thinner friends before I met my husband. I know guys in real life and on SLS have rejected me here because I’m not a size 2 like their wives, and I’m never going to be. The world isn’t fair and I work every day to remain my current size and maybe get down to an 8.
Whether you want to admit it or not, your weights are an issue and they are putting you in a separate class where only people of similar weights reside. You may not want to hear this, but it’s the truth. You got two choices, either own it, or lose weight. I suggest doing both. If you lose weight and have better pictures, you will increase the spectrum of potential partners.
You need better pictures. What I see right now are a pic of a pair of boobs and 2 butts. I’m sorry, but it isn’t attractive.
My standard advice is to take at least 5 pictures - male face and body, female face and body, and a picture of the two of you together like you are going to church or a nice dinner. You say you are professionals, so keep it classy. Then have a few pictures of you doing interesting things like going to a ball game or camping or traveling. Blur out your face pictures and put the unblurred pics in your private folder.
One final thing: Your profile sounds like it was first created in 2007 and then updated once after you had kids. In one section it says you can host, in another you say you have kids, but planning is important. Which is it? Your profile slider bars say you are full swap, but your profile text says you are soft swap. So what are you? It’s confusing. Correct it.
So my suggestion is make the corrections, take new pictures and repost.
Oh boy... this is going to take more time than I can offer while at work.
Listen it’s Yom Kippur tonight and I’m going to be offline for 24 hours. If I don’t help you tonight, I will help you Thursday. But you have to listen to me. Just be prepared for me to say some not-so-nice things. But if you listen to me, you will be successful.
Now this is just our opinion. Our main suggestion.....a full picture of the two of you together can go a long way, you can always block your faces if you wish....some of the profile is a little wordy in spots. Maybe add what type of playing you would like to do.
Can’ the wonderful people of SLS take a peek and let us know how to fix our profile!! Please and thank you!
