FabSwingers.com forum: Suggestions and feedback

Hooray! It’s another thread in which a single male asks for advice. (Hopefully I’ll be slightly better than most at actually taking it.)

My profile needs more pictures. This weekend is my opportunity to take some – but I have no real sense of what people like to see.

What constitutes a “good picture”, for the purposes of this site?

I understand this is regularly discussed here. I’ve read every thread that came up in forum searches for the terms “picture” and “photo”. I’ve taken on board the technical advice about taking selfies.

However, I’m still at a bit of a loss regarding the actual content.

What do you feel is the best way to display the male body? (Or, at least, a male body like mine.)

Also, if you go so far as actually looking at my profile, I’d be interested in people’s thoughts on the written copy. Any glaring omissions or faux pas? Anything you’d change or emphasise?

I look forward to hearing what people think.

Your pics are very tasteful. Somehow when I read your profile it sounds like a CV - University educated, good at working in groups etc.

Great post Op.

Photos, try suited and booted they always go down well. The best photos have some uniqueness about them, Black and White or just artfully done, even face shots that don’t fully show your face, plenty of ideas online.

You come across better in this post than your profile text, add a bit more of your personality rather than a set of facts about you.

I think you could do well on here or at a social or club, plenty of ladies like a tall guy.

Good luck op

Thank you, everyone. You’re very kind to engage with this.

Do you feel that the CV-like tone is successful? A lot of profiles that are an indigestible wall of text. Too many more are three unpunctuated lines about what the poster wishes to do to people. I was aiming for a middle ground – short enough to read, long enough to give a sense of what I’m useful for.

Regarding the tastefulness of my pictures: Thank you. I thought that might be a less aggressive approach than yet another top-down shot of an erection with a hand pressing desperately down on the abdomen at the base.

A “suited and booted” image will prove difficult. I’ve never worn a suit – my size has worked against me there. Can you point me in the direction of any other good online sources of photo ideas?

Clubs are definitely in my future. My height is the most remarkable thing about my appearance, so I’m hoping I can use it to my advantage in an in-person setting.

Thank you all for your input, and especially for your good wishes.

For a moment I got excited because I thought someone had more actionable feedback for me. Oh well!

So, last night I made a real effort to shoot some more pictures. After two hours and hundreds of takes, I had precisely one that I considered usable. Looks like uploading more pictures of myself is going to be a long-term project rather than something I can fix in a weekend!
