WTF Profile Pictures
So because they have a new app on both Google and Apple, SLS has to re-certify EVERY picture in the database. MILLIONS of them! I suspect a LOT of WTF pictures as we scroll through the MILLIONS of pictures. WTF, SO much WTF!

We have a Better Profile area, should there be a “Better Email” area?
I respectfully disagree with SOTW. A well put together profile, even if someone has come to Better Profiles, shows something about a person's personality. Maybe s/he's not a great writer. Maybe he's not all that knowledge about about Swing…
Why do some men lie about penis size
Technically, I am the one with sharp elbows. Sorillo has a sharp wit. *kiss*

The ONLY thing vegi baked beans have going for them is they are dairy free. Yes, baked beans have damned dairy in them! Can you believe that shit? Allergic to dairy means must have the vegi kind and add my own bacon.

Sorrillo, the weenis is the rough patch of skin on the sharp side of your elbow! Ehhhhhh.....

Personally, mix ketchup and mustard for both hamburgers and hotdogs. I mean, SOMETHING has to make hotdogs taste like something other than what they are--mashed pig assholes and random bodyparts. Funny how this thread has devolved. Funny h…

Kierkegaard, Foucault, Marcus Aurelius and a puppet with a giant dick walk into a bar. The bartender sets them each up with a shot. The bartender is incredulous that the three illustrious philosophers are hanging out with a well hung puppe…

I am SO sorry I showed up, but Sorillo that was pure magic.
This site is full of fakes,flakes bullshitters and liars
Hmmmph Sounded critical to me. But text based communication is what it is. In text it is difficult to know why people do what they do. Context is lacking. Incidentally, I got an SLS email last night from Certainpersanio, Tramp--your superf…
LS Lessons I've Learned
Corollary to Lesson 46: People treat you exactly how they want to treat you. The more disordered a personality is--and there are **plenty** of highly disordered people in the LS--the worse they treat you. It has exactly zero to do with you…

Tramp, I don't send nudes, but I often show a fellow nudes once I meet him. If I like him. You don't have to like that, Tramp. Thank goodness, I don't need your approval for my policies! You can think it's cognitively dissonant. Any man wh…

Ugh. "Older" 1) I HATE being called "older." Seriously. MUST you remind me that I'm almost 50? AGAIN. 2) I have kids your age. I have kids almost your age. I have sweatshirts your age. If you don't have more to offer me than fucking, you'r…
How do we meet Passable Trans Women?
You are probably better off looking on AdultFriendFinder or FetLife.
This site is full of fakes,flakes bullshitters and liars
Fakes and Flakes are Rampant It's not **just** YOU, Ron. Your frustration is real and I get it. I experienced that, but I didn't feel entitled to a reply or entitled to their politeness just because I was nice. I knew people are rude and t…
Well looks like I am in the minority
If they've hired a good programmer, it will. The first time I typed that, I typed "hored." Somehow I think Whored is probably more appropriate. LMFAO.
Too tight - this is not for men to answer- Women only.
As you age, especially if you stop having sex because your partner stops being able to get an erection, your vaginal muscles can get weak. This is called Vaginal Muscular Atrophy. It causes incontinence in women--the reason why SO many eld…
Profile critique
So, you've added a couple of photos. They are all casual. My sense is that you guys are casual people who NEVER dress up and never go out. You are beach, deck, pool people. You are not ballroom, evening, cocktail people... there is nothing…
What's up with the Zero LB (0 lbs) thing???
MrOutdoor, some women like "skinny" men. Obviously, your wife does. Your comfort with your body comes from INSIDE YOU. It always will. Really, it's all about 1) what you like. 2) accepting and loving yourself. 3) not hating on other people…

Cost Benefit Analysis is Key My experience with the cost/benefit of introductory emails, and my own outlook on them, I still tend to go with a few well crafted sentences, casual, appropriate content, grammar, and punctuation. Everyone else…
What's up with the Zero LB (0 lbs) thing???
I really think this ought to be on the first page of results... bump. It's a thread worth rereading.
Well looks like I am in the minority
I've noticed that the powers that be are making some significant updates to the database. I mean, we've gone from only two options on smoking/non-smoking, drinking/non-drinking to three options on each: prefers/doesn't care/undesirable. I…
LS Lessons I've Learned
I can't believe this LS Lesson hasn't appeared: Don't feed a troll! Trolls are narcissistic, Dark Triad personalities. They thrive on destruction, chaos, and misery of others. They do what they do for attention. If they cannot get positive…
Code of Conduct?
To add to your bag: If YOU require non-latex condoms (I do, I'm allergic), bring BOTH sizes. Swing tends to have guys who require Large sized condoms. You don't want to have to pass bc you don't have the right size glove. Most guys who wea…
Well looks like I am in the minority
Honestly, it would help if they had a "heteroflexible" option. A LOT of guys will go for "a little" bi play but aren't **all that** curious.
We have a Better Profile area, should there be a “Better Email” area?
Apparently, there is a WHOLE FORUM called "First Contact." It's the equivalent of Better Profiles, but for emails and IM! Frying pans, who knew!?
looking for feed back
Apparently, TK is awaiting approval of his new profile text. He did a major rewrite. So we should have something new to look at soon.
looking for feed back
Hey TKS, So when I sent you here, the main reason that I did was that your profile text was a textbook case of TMI. It was so over the top that I felt it would be scaring people off. It was wildly colored. It was very rambling. It had stor…

At this time, SLS is working on their lousy web site. At this time, SLS lousy web site does not fucking work. At this time, no one is fucking fucking.
Now what?
Generally, Differential Equations. Higher math is *endlessly* amusing during boring sex. Oh, wait, you are ONLY required to have boring sex with your *spouse.* I never saw it written where you have to silently endure boring sex with a LS p…
We have a Better Profile area, should there be a “Better Email” area?
Maybe because I'm a single woman, and single women can get away with a LOT less, I tend to write a LOT less when introducing myself. Often I write a line or two. I don't write major books. I mean, the idea is to get someone to read my prof…
Feeling undesirable,aging, body
I find it really sad that BlueEyedGrace literally left SLS: Here's a truth... Self-esteem comes from inside. My self-esteem was crappy when I was fat. I lost a hundred pounds. People tell me I look great, but I feel weird about my loose sk…
Too tight - this is not for men to answer- Women only.
The vagina is muscular. The muscles can atrophy from non-use or can simply get not as well stretched after a long time of not having sex. When you are older, this becomes more common and "worse" because you have fewer hormones. If you trie…

A new theory on pictures
I love the DEBauCH acronym. Personally,I hate the beach. You won't ever see my in a bathing suit in a photo or in real life. Swimming is for exercise and UGH. YUCK. Luckily, there are options! A -- stands for Activity. If you aren't a Beac…

Advice on how to amp up my profile
Most of the people on the forum cannot see your profile at all. Thus cannot help you. MOST of the people ON SLS CANNOT SEE YOUR PROFILE AT ALL. Thus you get no response. There are not that many single women TO respond to you. MOST bi-sexua…

If you search their profile, they did a very good job of rewriting it and taking new photos. They may have deleted the original post, but they took advice and ran with it. *shrug.*

So, the beard thing and the tattoos is going to turn a LOT of women off. When you are a woman, either you like beards or you don't. Either you like tattoos or you don't. On SLS men may perv the photos, but the women get the final thumbs up…

We have a Better Profile area, should there be a “Better Email” area?
I can opine on WHY we get so many awful emails. None of which may be THE reason, but all of which may contribute to A reason: a) The Able and Clueless People who are new and have the ability to write a decent Introductory email. They don't…
How to I find better quality guys

You have a basic problem with your understanding of what SLS is about. Think of the Gettysburg Address: Of Couples. By Couples. FOR Couples. That's how Swing works. There are relatively few single women in Swing. You block couples by indic…
Couples posing as single females
I suspect that the "I don't wanna" rule applies. Just like it does with single men posing as couples. Or married men posing as singles. If you don't want to do a particular deed, don't do it. If it stinks like you're being catfished, you a…
Any tips on how to get more visits to profile?
His pictures are great. He could talk about some of his non-sexual interests... things he likes to do. Golf? Kayaking? What not. Otherwise, it's a good profile. Best of luck, Taurian.

I think you need *a picture* of him, but maybe not THAT picture of him. It probably didn't do anything specific for him that was useful. There are not great pictures and then there are GREAT PICTURES. It's sort of like that "nip slip" pict…

Okay, so Velma didn't like it. You should ALWAYS listen to Velma. She's a goddess. She knows her shit. On the other hand, I found it *completely charming.* You made me laugh. Adorable. I would totally fuck you and I don't give married/atta…

I reported that inmate picture, BTW. Apparently, it does't violate the terms of service on the site that it's on. Inmates are permitted to "trawl" on "millions and millions of sharks." I'm pretty shocked. I guess it's "Let the buyer beware…

Hello, give us a hand please!
You made good changes in the right places: The only thing I would add to your profile is a formal wear photo. You want to show people what you will look like when you show up to your first date. Otherwise, it looks pretty good. Nice job.
Help from the pros please
Looking at this after changes have been made... This looks pretty decent. I'd like to see a little more about your personal interests. That's still a little thin. I see that you've made changes regarding negative language. You may get some…

There's one more thing I would add... The *only* outside interest you have is kayaking and very vague "outdoorsy stuff." When you meet with another couple, or single people, they are going to want something to talk about on a first date, b…
Curious about my profile
Anyone who doesn't listen to Velma's advice on pictures is taking his sex life in his hands... and throwing it away!
Feedback please!
You profile as written is okay. I have no major gripes. You seem like nice people. It's a little bland. Maybe you could use a little more as far as what your non-sexual interests are, to give people "hooks" to talk about on a first date. E…

Bad experiences .

SLS needs to be more tolerant
