Profile Tweaks

just2ofus - Please start your own thread & we'll be happy to look over your profile. It gets too confusing if you are part of someone else's review.

Hello would someone read our profile and see what we are doing wrong?

Thank you all for the help. We’ve made some quick changes that could be done with our phones. We’ll edit and adjust a few things when we can get in front of a computer for a few minutes.

I feel that getting rid of your last pic, (the two of you on the beach), was a mistake.

No, I disagree. Guys on SLS are fickle and I think that last picture had shadows that made it look like the guy and girl had a belly / lovehandles.

I already privately gave them suggestions on angles to take better pictures.

I can be very accommodating when I’m trying to get a guy to fuck me.

"Regarding ms. molly's note about what couples are looking for..."

Nope, not me. My guy and I have done exactly two swaps in the 16 years we've known each other, so I'm not the person to be giving advice on what couples are looking for. Plus I never saw the beach photo. ;-)

I saw your profile when you first posted to this thread, OP. Regarding ms. molly's note about what couples are looking for,
I feel that getting rid of your last pic, (the two of you on the beach), was a mistake. It was the only one that showed
the body language of a close couple. Though I'm outside your age preference, I suspect the need for that is a constant.

That said, we are new, and haven't yet finished our own profile, so take my opinion with a few grains of salt!

Hi. I hope you correct the typos. I wasn't paying close attention to that part, but noticed a were for we're and one other place where an apostrophe was needed.

As far as content, you've changed a few things around but haven't really added any content, so now your profile feels a little sparse while still lacking in a charming detail or three. Remember, that you want people to like you and for that to happen you have to let them see you.

There are two remaining problem areas. Your tagline doesn't need to say when you revised anything, since the purpose of the tagline is to draw people in and that won't. Although the photo of Mrs. OP in the black dress certainly will do that. The other part of your tagline, giving a date when you'll possibly be free, carries with it the implication that you're otherwise not free. That's not going to make you seem available at all.

In Looking For, I don't know how to help you. When I'm looking for couples, I want to see signs they love and adore one another and if that's obvious I am very likely to want to play with them. That's not in my profile, because that's part of my internal sorting process. The external part and what's actually in my profile is about the qualities I'm looking for, things that will allow other people to see themselves and perhaps feel we might need to be a match.

Your approach sounds prescriptive and has the potential to actively turn off potential good matches. I don't think that's going to work well.

Other than that, it really isn't "female." SLS's grammar is terrible and apparently they've infected others with the inability to tell an adjective from a noun. "Female" modifies a thing, while "woman" needs no modification.

And that's what I have. Good luck on your photos.

Obviously I missed the earlier version - it appears that the glaring problems mentioned by others have been addressed. But while the off-putting text might be gone you're kind of "not bad" rather than appealing or enticing. What you have will work for the time being - copy it into a word processor and edit and refine at your leisure then run spell check and grammar check on it. You'll want to refer to ladies or women not females when mentioning her willingness to play with ladies on occasion. Even if you change nothing else you should definitely run your text through a word processor (with grammar check as well as spell check) - and read it out loud to each other (sounds silly but is good for finding awkward phrasing and repetitive or poor sentence structure).

And for the love of all that is holy get rid of his bathroom selfie! It's summer time - go to the pool and take pictures of each other. There is no reason for a couple to have selfies. I also think there are too many naked/semi-naked pictures of her - but I'm not your target audience (we're one of those rare couples in which the lady searches - and we generally play with single guys). Make sure you smile in all your pictures (even if you crop or obscure your face it affects everything) and watch for clutter and visual chaos in the background (some of your pictures have this problem).

Good luck & have fun!

I thought it sounded a little clinical, as in setting up a surgery instead of an evening of fun. There are a couple of sentences showing personality, so perhaps try to build on those.

Thanks for the help! I (male half) have made some changes to the profile and the pictures. Unfortunately, we don’t have all the pictures done and ready to post in one day. We’ll be adding and adjusting them over the next few weeks as we can take some.

The profile wording was changed. I do want to double check it on a legit word processor, but don’t have access to a computer at the moment.

Thanks again!

I sent some of my advice privately because... honestly I want to fuck you guys two weeks from now when I'm in the area. But...

I think I have a way to make you two even better than you already are. Google two words "Contrapposto" and "Susan Lucci."

So full disclosure: I'm a size 12. This is good and bad. It's good because you can find amazing deals at Ross because most women who hit 12 keep going until they are rolling around on a Jazzy in WalMart. I've been a 12 basically since middle school. Big boobs, big ass, and no waist. I mean, my tits enter a room a full minute before my face. Anyway... I can't use poses to make myself as skinny as your wife. But I can turn a size 12 into size 10 or 8 based on posing.

if I don't watch how I'm standing in pictures, I can either look like Kelly Clarkson or Melissa McCarthy. So Google Susan Lucci and look how she stands in all of her red carpet pictures. You'll see that she is always 45 degrees to the camera with her legs crossed, and with her hand on her waist. This makes you look skinny in basically every picture.

Men can also stand "Contrapposto." Basically look at how Greek statues stand. They have their hands on their waist, the also have their weight on one foot. This gives the pose fluidity and motion.

When it comes to taking pictures together, stand contrapossto or Susan Lucci. And don't stand too close. You want a little daylight or background between you two. This works especially well in beach pictures. If you look at all of our beach/pool pictures, you'll see a significant gap between my husband and I. When two bodies are close together, this creates shadows that accentuate every flaw and lovehandle. If you take pictures into the sun, with a gap between and both of you standing contrapossto / Susan Lucci, you will look amazing.

So, next time you are at the beach or a pool, try to take some new beach pictures. And from now on, whenever you are out and want a picture, stand contrapossto / Susan Lucci, and soon it will become automatic.

Hi. It looks like you've taken Velma's advice about your photos. There are still some I don't love, but I'm not your audience, so you may safely ignore me. Not Velma. Listen to her about photos.

So, here's the disclaimer: This process can feel mean, critical, unpleasant. None of the advice has anything to do with you as people; it's only about your profile. Nearly everyone has roadblocks they can't see that are getting in the way of making the kinds of contacts they want and the purpose of what folks write here is to show you how we see you based on your profile.

And I'm going to sound particularly mean, so I hope less blunt critiques get added as well.

Looking For is likely alienating any number of people who read your profile. Instead of being inviting, it's off-putting. First, anytime someone says they're looking for drama free - and you've used that term twice - the assumption is often that they are, in fact, the source of the drama. Because that's the way it goes. Those folks who bemoan the drama other people bring to their lives? Yeah, not usually the other people who are bringing it, even though they almost invariably get the blame.

Then, there are ways to indicate you're interested in attractive, interesting people without making it sound like you're putting together your grocery list. That impression is underscored with your requirements for the body hair of others. As I've already said once tonight, this is not Amazon and you're not putting in an order. You're looking for playmates and if your range is so narrow that you absolutely must make a list of acceptable qualities, you're probably better off going to clubs and parties instead, where nobody can actually see your thought process all nakedly displayed and stuff.

Description is okay. I get a decent sense of you, although you do sound a little more bland than I suspect you realize. Add another line or two to about you as people, move the part about being willing to play on the first date down to Additional comments and then run whatever you have through a good spelling and grammar program, because you have typos and punctuation errors.

Fantasies is good, but there's at least one typo.

Additional comments is asking for something that will cut down on the number of people who contact you. I'd veto a single man who contacted me without a photo, but you say discretion is a must. And then there you are, saying oh, even though you don't know if there is the slightest bit of interest on our parts, open your photos when you contact us. That's losing you people. Maybe consider looking at the profiles of people who reach out and then if you're not a no, opening your photos and asking them to do the same.

And then you end on a sour note, asking people to do something most won't do. The lack of a reply is an answer and you'll just have to deal. If you must mention it, then say you respond to every IM and leave it at that.

So, this section basically needs to be completely revamped. Please do end positively.

Good luck and I hope you come back with some revisions for people to see.

So, first of all, I’m going to say that my husband and I are going to be up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey two weekends from now and you should totally come to our hotel and fuck me.

Second, I think your pictures are good. But I would delete a couple because they are redundant or not flattering.

Don’t get me wrong, I would kill for her body - I run marathons and I can only wish to have legs like that.

But I digress...

Keep pictures 1, 2 and the purple thong. Keep the tits and black dress. Keep the standing topless at the beach.

Kill the rest. The rest are redundant or unflattering.

Get a beach or pool picture of the two of you with the man shirtless.

I opened a private gallery for you to show you how to take better pictures.

If you want to fuck me next Friday, I’ll open some more... including the special ones.

We’ve read a few of the posts in here and feel we have a pretty solid profile. We’ve had a few looks, sent a few messages, and get little response. Obviously, we understand that not everyone is for everyone and after these years we definitely feel we’ve given our fair share of “no thank you’s“. But it seems that something may be missing or might be turning off the masses.

For job status sakes we cannot open our face pics in the public areas. But, we definitely have a few pictures that we open up when we message a potential couple.

We’d love a little help. Thanks in advance for checking it out and assisting in anyway.
