Soooooo new, HELP!!!

Velma - Phoebert might not understand but I do - which is why I loved it when you first said it.

You're right about guys not seeming to have that same feelings. But we generally invited them over in the middle of the day when there were people out and about in the RV campground (most were busy places with nosy people). If we were close enough to a restaurant we would suggest meeting there first (but we didn't have a car so it had to be very close to the campground).

But usually we didn't have a chance because we had moved on by the time they saw the first email from us! Which is why I laugh when I see someone disappointed because they haven't had results in less than a month - it is often days or weeks before some people check their email here because they are busy and this is just something special that they do occasionally.

It was fear.

You have to understand as a woman, being assaulted is always in the back of your mind. This is not an unhealthy fear. This is not be being unreasonable. Every single woman knows what it's like to get in an elevator with a super creepy guy. Every woman knows what it's like to be followed at night or in a parking garage.

As a woman, every single interaction outside of your home is fraught with danger because you are usually smaller and weaker than 50% of the rest of the people you interact with. So you develop a sixth sense, a "situation awareness" as my husband calls it.

Back when I was single, I would go to a lot of hotel bars and just kind of fuck the first guy who talked to me that I liked., I would only do it in hotels and there was a reason why. A hotel had a bar with security cameras. A hotel means your credit card is on file and your home address. When I let a guy think he picked me up in a hotel, I could be reasonably sure that he wasn't going to murder me.

But meeting a guy or a couple in an RV... that just sounds crazy.

It may be different for guys. Guys don't have the same level of fear because they won't walk around thinking they will be attacked. My husband used to meet girls on Tinder and just show up at their house - with the girl site unseen because they offered sex.

But for the most part, most women wouldn't be stupid enough to do that. So it's not a dig on you, it's more a woman displaying a healthy respect for the reality you live in every day.

Based on how quickly CrimsonGrl put up her request here after receiving advice in her 3some thread - my guess is she just moves quickly. Hopefully they will realize that this is a lifestyle not a pickup joint and they will learn the patience necessary to make SLS work for them.

"...couples are now blocked from viewing the OP’s profile."

I'm not sure if you're signaling you're done getting advice or going back to what you started with for other reasons. As a side note, you're far more likely to find a partnered rather than a single woman who is interested in taking you up on what you're offering.

Sorry, I can’t review- seems that couples are now blocked from viewing the OP’s profile.

By doing that you are eliminating a rather large potential source of bi-female friends (coupled bi-females who also play independently with other females).

To each their own, good luck to you.

I think I've seen every episode of Criminal Minds that aired prior to 2016/17 and I'm nearly certain she was afraid of you. Because, really, what could go wrong with that scenario. ;-)

Fort Payne, AL, Us

What you do is roll with the punches and ask if she's afraid of us or scared for us - she never did answer! Personally I thought it was great - I had read enough to know this place could be brutal but knew it was kindly meant.

I mean really, what sounds sinister about a swinging couple traveling the US in an RV inviting single guys to the RV for a good time?

We're done traveling now - no laws were broken and no lives were lost!

Hi. It can be really hard when you do your best to create a profile and then people come along and say seemingly mean things about it. It really isn't meant to be mean. Instead, the process holds up a series of mirrors so that you can see how things look to others and then you get to decide how and what to change. Unless you remind Velma of an episode of Criminal Minds. I'm not sure what to do when that happens. ;-)

So, first, your photos aren't going to do it. You'll need to do some adaptation of Velma's rules if you're solely trying to appeal to women, but they still work. Just remember that most women are not particularly susceptible to sultry in other women. it's generally more about personality, so show that instead of your breasts.

So, moving through your profile, your age range is a little narrow, but you like what you like. Your toggles are currently set to Want Drinkers/Smokers because that's the SLS default. If that's not what you want, you'll have to wait until all your changes are approved and then go in and change just that.

Your other toggles, for Interest levels in activities are a bit of a mess, because they're confusing and unsupported by the text. You need to resolve that in some way. Also, when you go in and change your toggles for couples, etc. back, leave a slight interest in couples so that you have access to couples where she plays separately.

In your tagline, it's customary to refer to single, bi women as unicorns, but it's a controversial practice and you won't offend anyone if you stop using that ridiculous word.

In Looking For, please use complete sentences and talk more about who you're looking for and less about yourself. The thing about unicorn hunters that makes many of us stay the hell away is their predilection for being interested solely in themselves and what they want, so it's particularly important for you to change the focus to the person or people you're looking for so that women will find something charming and relatable in this section. So, for instance, the line about needing to get things started right now should probably go.

Description is pretty good, but I don't really get much of a sense of the two of you. Like, I know something about what you like, which is great, but I don't get a sense of you as people. Everyone is special. In what way are you special? And you can totally leave out the part about being secure. This is a thing you demonstrate rather than say.

Fantasies has some ups and downs. The first line is great, the second is not, the third is your internal dialogue, which makes it perfect for that first meeting but not for your profile, and the last two lines are just confusing. When you do a rewrite, try to imagine that you are a stranger reading it and see if that gives you a better vantage point for making this section clear.

You've left a section blank and you shouldn't. Not only does it suggest you aren't good at details (and sex with women is all about details, so that's not a great look), you've passed on a last chance to make a good impression.

As far as finding a single (or married and playing with permission) woman between the ages of 28 and 42 who is on SLS, within 100 miles of you, and willing to play solo with another woman... It's not impossible, but it's not easy either. You really need to bring your A game and that means being your best self. So, write clearly, be charming and real, have photos that show way more personality than skin, and understand that you're part of a large group looking for a member of a much smaller one.

Also, please use spell check.

Good luck!

I am still sore from the triathlon I did today so please forgive me if I’m more bitchy than usual.

I opened a section of my private pics for you so that you could see the kinds of pictures you should have.

Stick with the DEBauCH method I laid out. You need a DATE pic so I know you have nice clothes. An EVENT pic like at a race, a game or rock climbing, so I know you have a life. You need a BEACH pic so I can see your body. You need a pic of the CHICK and a pic of HIM.

Don’t take any pictures with a gun or a fish. Watch your backgrounds. You don’t want a messy room.

There’s a reason why a lot of my pictures are at triathlons or at Wizards games. If somebody is into that sort of thing and makes him feel more comfortable reaching out.

Your pics need to be full body - no selfies. Go to a Resturant with your boyfriend dressed well and ask the waitress to take a picture.

I would remove the picture of you in the mirror.

What I’m about to say may piss you off. Don’t take it personally. I’m just telling you what is going through my head.

I would reject you because you are a 35 year old woman and you are sleeping on a mattress on the floor. I see it in your selfie mirror. I do not want to have sex with a woman who doesn’t have her shit together.

Maybe you do have your shit together? You could be a successful, accomplished woman, but the bed on the floor puts DOUBT in my mind.

Have someone take a full-body picture of you in a nice dress instead, maybe ar a nice bar or restaurant.

Take the new pictures and repost. Please, please, please take a DATE pic with your boyfriend wearing nice clothes at a nice restaurant.

You two are a cute couple. I think your profile text is good, it just needs a little adjusting.

Don’t worry about changing too much right now. You’ll probably just end up making multiple changes. Listen to, and weigh the advice from lots of people, then decide how you want your profile to look.

My advice on pictures would be to have some full body shots (I liked the one with the garbage in the background, except for the garbage in the background). Also, it’ll be important to have some pictures with the two of you together.

Good luck, happy hunting.

The advice isn't always brutal - just because Velma compared our profile to a story line for Criminal Minds...

Proofread your profile. You have several misspelled words.

Unicorns are the rarest of beasts, so if that is what you are looking for, be patient. You have been here for 3 days.

The first picture (of the male) is a bit blurry. Post a better one, or better yet a picture of both of you.

The next two I don't have a problem with.

Number four has to go. That is a decent picture of you, but you have what looks like a big bag of trash right behind you.

Picture five I guess in fine, but I don't see a purpose. You show your tats in picture two, so it would be better hear to show you maybe playing some music? Show your interests.

A picture with you and your SO jamming would be cool.

Welcome to the slaughter house of the forums.

Having just gone through the gauntlet of brutal constructive criticism from this wonderful group, Don’t take anything personal that they offer up for advice.

I’ll add a tidbit from the missus view as i saw your post in another section as well.
Your looking for a unicorn for you and your boyfriend yet all you have really is pictures of yourself up,hard to market a package deal when 50% of it is unknown. Recent pictures and being honest in your profile will help you both in finding your unicorn & avoiding any potential hang ups.

Have fun

You move quickly! Unfortunately finding quality people to play with doesn't always happen that fast - you've only been on SLS a few days so just be a bit more patient. The text of your profile doesn't look too bad to me - but I'm not your target audience. MsMolly may have an entirely different point of view - hopefully she'll turn up soon.

Your pictures are not really good (says the lady with even fewer not great pictures that aren't open to the public). Look for Velma's picture advice - she's put together a system for core pictures that works well. My general advice for pictures is watch for clutter in the background and smile (and avoid selfies if at all possible).

Good luck & have fun!

Hi friends!

I've never tried dating online, so trying to put my/our wants out there is especially new. My man has never had a 3some, I've had quite a few and female encounters. I'm doing the searching... get to know and play with a girl that may come along and eventually go for the 3 of us! We're open to new stuff, just wanna find a potential 3rd to start. I know catchy headlines and descriptive profiles are what makes somebody interesting... good pictures probably help too lol. I dont know if I'm not wording stuff right, bad pics, etc.... HELP!?!

Feedback would be great!
