I think you’re good. Best of luck.

Other than working with tech support regarding the side ways pics issue, our updated profile from this morning was approved along with face pics in our private gallery.

Thanks again to all that helped us!

VAS, face pics uploaded last night, waiting for approval. GGMM, noticed those nits as well, update waiting to be approved. PAW, TY.

Well done! It is very clear what you're looking for and who you are now - you've done a lot of good work. Hopefully you'll find out how to keep the pictures from rotating - I think the hiking picture is a good one.

Just remember to update in a few months - you'll want to remove the "newbies" reference in your tagline by then.

Have fun!

Looks good. Would love to hear back if it made a noticable difference in a few weeks.

I think your profile looks terrific. I have two word usage nits to pick, but that's pretty much it. The first is that " looking to dive into..." would be improved by changing looking to want. It's partly that you've already used the looking to/for construction above and also that "want" is a clearer statement of intent. The second is to get rid of that second "also" in Fantasies.

Hey, I said they were nits. ;-)

Other than that, I agree about having face photos in a private gallery.

Good luck and I hope you find exactly what you're looking for.

One More suggestion. Put G-rated face pics in your private section. I do not Kik and very, very few select people on here have my phone number.

If you don’t have face pics in your private section, I’m going to move on.

Have more pics wanting to upload, waiting to hear back from tec support as to why some of our pics end up sideways.

Be careful with the Halloween pictures-what are you have is fine but don’t post anything or are you intentionally look ugly or weird.

Thank you for all the critique and opinions. We updated our profile tonight, hopefully it gives others a honest snap shot of who we are.
More pics to come, we will make an honest effort to take pics when we go out.

Hi. I know I'm going to be repeating what others have said, but it confuses me if I have to pick and choose what to address.

So, starting from the top, the optics on having your age limit top out at his age aren't great. It looks like you think he's at her limit for what's hot, you know? You might consider raising it and then dealing case by case, which you would be doing anyway, just with a greater range.

Next, you don't need a period in your tagline. You might need a comma.

In Looking For, first the grammar: it's women, not females (a woman is a human female, while "female" needs something to modify). Then, you're new, you're looking for women and maaaaybe soft swap with couples. That's pretty much the classic recipe for drama. And that you use the word twice is a little worrisome, because you know who thinks other people bring the drama? The people who actually bring the drama. Best to leave it out and be extremely careful with your vetting.

Also, it's fine to be looking for someone charismatic, flirtatious, and affectionate, but this isn't Amazon or a burger joint and you can't order up women the way you like them. And you need to be much clearer than you are in what you are offering women. Because your toggles and text don't currently indicate that you're offering much in the way of sex or anything else.

In Description, I'm guessing you've made some changes. I don't need to know that you're very much in love. I'm already assuming that and having you put it there sounds defensive. Which, hey, drama potential.

Your photos and toggles should be doing all of your physical descriptions, including body type and hair/eye color if they can be seen in your photos. Unless being 420 friendly is an integral part of your existence, it belongs in Additional comments. Which is good, because you shouldn't leave anything blank, particularly not your last chance to make a good impression. Not only have you punted, you're currently giving the impression that you can't be bothered to have more than the minimum amount of effort in your profile.

So, fill out all four sections, use full sentences and take a second look at your punctuation.

As far as what you're looking for, relative to demand there aren't a lot of single women on line. It's good you have your toggles set to allow couples to view your profile, because wives who play solo are a little more abundant. But they probably won't be searching you out either. You're going to need to bring your A game, basically, and even then you're fishing in a very small pond.

Good luck.

The snowmobileing works. You’re doing something fun.

Work on that full-body date picture, though. It’s the most important one.

M&R, you are one of MANY couples looking primarily for a woman. As was mentioned, the audience looking for soft swap is also a smaller pool to chose from. Just trying to set expectations.

It can be a fair amount of effort to find people, then sync schedules and actually meet. To get there you have to garner interest. As mentioned, listing things you like to do in the Description besides sex gives people reasons to potentially talk and want to meet.

The more things (within reason) that you list, the more potential talking points a person has to reach out to you. At a minimum, at least put something generic in the Fantasies section (i.e. Would love to try FMF).

As a suggestion, try picking and reading through other profiles to see what grabs your interest. If something does, this is one place you don't get dinged for plagiarism ;-) Grab and add to your profile anything that applies to you that caught your eye.

There is a very good chance the things that you find interesting will also appeal to others.

I just looked at the Help files for Pictures and didn't see anything that would fix the rotating problem so maybe contact Tech Support (there is a link on the Help page) and see if you can get an answer, They probably need to know details about the picture file and what you've done already.

Might take them a while to get an answer - what with all the complaints about the changes to the IM system.

I thought that was a great idea VAS.
Took the screen shot, cropped it, uploaded it, then SLS flipped it sideways again. Grrrr

Maybe try this:

Take a screenshot of the image on your phone in the right orientation. Then crop out the header and footer?

Don't have Microsoft Paint, but using a photo editing program, the orientation is correct. That is until it's uploaded to SLS.

For the sideways pic, try rotating it 90 degrees on your phone, then rotating it back.

If you have a computer, load it into microsoft paint and look at the orientation, then rotate it and upload to SLS.

Cuz SLS has the finest software available - NOT!!!

Thank you for the feed back. Not sure why that pic keeps getting up loaded sideways?

Wow - so much better than most brand new profiles - and you've immediately come asking for help. I'm impressed.

I agree with Velma - you need some text in Descriptions about what you like to do. Don't just say you're fun - tell us how you have fun. And surely you have a fantasy that you can describe in the Fantasies section.

Not sure if it is possible with SLS but do something to rotate the hiking picture - sideways pictures are just annoying. You may have to delete it, rotate it and upload again. The selfies aren't too bad so keep them until you get some better pictures. Get dressed up, go out to dinner and ask the waitress to take your picture - that way you can get a nice full length photo of both of you. With the hiking picture you'll then have 2 of Velma's recommended shots. My guidelines for pictures are less structured than Velma's - avoid selfies, watch for background clutter and SMILE. You've got the smile part - I'd want to be around you!

Good luck and have fun.

I have a late opening today so I can hop on this.

I invented a strategy called the DEBauCH method. This means you need 5 core pictures and they should all be full body - a DATE pic so I know what you might look like on a date. An EVENT pic (do a 5K or go to an all game or indoor rock climbing) so I know you have a life and some common ground on things we can talk about. A BEACH pic (or a pool pic - don’t have a pool, go to a hotel, pay day rate and get some pics) so you can show off your bodies in a classy way, a pic of the CHICK and a pic of HIM.

I opened a private gallery for you to show you what the five core DEBauCH pictures should look like.

Stay away from any pictures with a gun or a fish. Don’t take selfies. I know the first picture of me has me showing my tits taking a selfie. If you know the rules you can break them - and anyway I look fucking hot.

Regarding your text - I would not personally be interested in you two because I want to get fucked. So keep in mind as long as you do the tame “maybe soft swap” thing you may have a hard time finding partners. I’m. Or saying you should change, but you should certainly manage your expectations.

Regarding your profile text, take out your heights. You don’t need it because it is already listed. I would also add in some text about hobbies. Use this as ways to establish commonality - there is a reason I how is at basketball games and running races - people with similar hobbies may be more attracted.

Think of this profile as a resume for sex.

Rewrite. Take some new pictures and repost so we can re-evaluate.

We're new here and in general are newbies. We put a lot of thought and time into making our profile, but we are honest with ourselves and know it has room for improvement, maybe even scrap it and start over. We have thick skin and will appreciate honest critique.

Thanks in advance!
