Profiles

21 Aug 2007

OK so lot's of us agree that profiles could be better on the site, so I am going to start this thread where we can all offer a little advice to those who don't know exactly what to put in thier profile. Now that doesn't mean there has been a change in the UK law and you have to follow the advice or even have anything written in your profile, but if you would like to know what information might be good to put in here are a few starter points and I am sure others will come up with some ideas/information they would like to see in profiles. 12 Points which make a good profile better There has been a lot of talk in the forums and chatrooms about profiles, I am sure many couples will confirm that they like to see pictures before they meet people Many couples would not meet until they have seen some pictures, since not everyone is happy to have thier face on the net you can of course use the private gallery for this and have all your pictures in there so that they are only available for viewing by those you choose to grant access, If you are going to use this method it is good to put in your profile that you have pics in your private gallery so that interested parties can request a viewing, There are a few things that will help those browsing profiles choose to find out more about you, it's not etched in stone and there are no guarantees that having a better profile will work but I am sure most people will agree that taking a little time with your profile will certainly not do you any harm and may well enhance your chances Can you travel or if not can you accommodate Are you married or single What are your pleasures BDSM, mild bondage, role play What are NOT your pleasures ie W/S, etc Do you have any size preferences or do like people of all sizes Do you have any age preferences or are you looking at all age groups Sexuality ie Straight, bi-sexual, bi-curious What is the area you are willing to travel in (not everyone knows all the postcodes) Would meetings be restricted to daytime or evening only meets Are you looking for first meet sex or would you like to get to know each other first and if so how - email, telephone, drinks in a bar etc ? Do you go to swing clubs and if so which ones Are you experienced or new to the scene rolleyes

We find the profile indicates the tone amd expression of those creating it...12 steps or not, the txt says a lot about the people...But we always follow up with further chatting and/or meets to determine whether we wish to play :P.

Yeah, I tend to agree Scorpio. I think covering as many of the points that Kaynie suggests can be very helpful, but I'm more drawn to profiles which are humerous and witty, or creative in some other manner. I find profiles which just list a point-by-point sequence of Do's and Dont's a bit of a turn-off. Having said that, I don't tend to read profiles very closely in any case, other than as a quick indicator of whether I'm likely to like the person at all, and whether I'm likely to be close to what they're looking for. All the people I meet (almost without exception) have first been acquaintances via the chatroom. I can find out much more about a person that way, and think they can do the same about me.

as an aside to this, you mentioned postcodes and not knowing them.......i use a postcode sorting site ......you put in the first bit of the postcode and it gives you the area it belongs to obviously i cant post it on here cos it will get deleted/censored but if any one wants it just mail us and i will disguise it back to you.....its really useful.....of course you could just use google to find it or a similer one for yourselves biggrin
