FabSwingers.com forum: Would you message me???

This is not clickbait.

Genuine question... would you message me with my profile as it is now?

No profile picture, a descent amount of write up on profile and some verifications?

Constructive criticism welcome.

And i know... different people have different views and preferences...

Just curious. Thats all.

No idea why your parentage is important on a sex site and saying you can’t show any pictures because of profession is a bit of a cop out and is likely to mean women don’t contact you.

You aren’t looking for blokes so no I wouldn’t message you

No.

The whole "proffesional" thing on a profile, on a swingers site...dont get it, never have, never will.

Also agree not having pics due to your job is horse shit. Keep face pics private, edit out any tattoos, job done. If someone you work with finds you here, they're here too.

Unless you are head to toe tatted, its easy enough to post photos that are unidentifiable.

Personally I wouldnt message a profile where I can’t see who I would be messaging. I also wouldnt bother to read verifications on a profile without a photo due to us all having different tastes and preferences. I agree with the others, your profile currently reads as though you are hiding yourself due to being in a relationship, which would put me right off responding to a message too.

A lot of people are cautious about being recognisable but as someone said to me "How many people know what you look like naked without a face attached?"

Body, back, legs, bum, cock (just a couple) nobody's going to recognise them and it'll make your profile a lot more interesting.

I have distinctive scars and tattoos.

But yes... could cover them up... but that would just draw more attention to them.

No, I wouldn't message, but not because of lack of pics. Pics on a profile don't matter to me.

For one, I am not looking for bdsm, and more importantly, your profile describes you but doesn't give any hint of your personality (and if it does, I'd say rather boring).

I'd also be suspicious that a person with a job so sensitive they can't share pictures also lives with their mother. Those jobs tend to pay quite well. And yes I know there are other considerations other than financial why people live with their parents but for many that is the main driver.

Come on... silly question.

Give away identity. Then identity would give away profession.

Ignore our lack of any compatibility for the purpose of this exercise...

Your profile reads or hints at a number of negative emotions in my view...

Doesn’t accommodate... will the wife/gf have issues? You are a successful professional, your age suggests in that position you’d have your own place so basically... what are you hiding?

I think the whole ‘discrete’ thing is such a nonsense to mention. Swingers by nature are discrete, respect one another’s privacy etc. All my experiences from those stating they need to be discrete actually mean they have something to hide or at best are ridiculously nervous.

Photography, there’s a million visual ways to hint at the person without giving away identity. To have nothing visible is missing a trick, I’d say faceless but I think for most picture less profiles are a no no.

Bi/Gay guys stop messaging me... who are you kidding, that community is so visually driven there’s no chance you are getting a flood of requests from hot guys... it reads as a fairly desperate way to suggest you are hot property tbh.

Humour; people want to relax, have a laugh and feel comfortable in this hobby... there’s little character that comes across in what is quite a serious profile statement... perhaps lighten it up and show the world the character instead

Hope that helps x

Thank you for taking the time to write all this. I appreciate it.

Yes i agree. My profile reads negative.

I dont accomodate with gone through a divorce and live with mumma.

My career for me is successful. Success is measured in different ways. Or even important career is measured in different ways. Importance and success is not measured in currency for me. Therefore having my own place is irrelevant.

Million ways to change a photograph or hide in photograph of photoshop. Million to you. One to me and thats adding emojis, but like i mentioned before. It would draw attention to my scars positions or tattoos positions.

Surprisingly a lot of gays, bis, men are messaging me. Hot or not. I get a lot who message me. After i asked them nicely to stop. They stopped.

I hope i have answered some of your questions.

"I hope i have answered some of your questions.

They weren’t questions, they where statements based on reading your profile.

As with all the posts from people on here we are giving you a viewpoint on how your advert reads to the outsider unaware of the real you. I think all the replies have made good points.

Your answers, explanations etc are irrelevant (in the nicest possible way). The fact you are needing to explain elements highlights the issue.

For instance... “living with Mumma”, why not say recently divorced and unable to accommodate at this time, realise it’s a question mark and tick it off in the best way you can (don’t mention “Mumma”), explaining it on a forum doesn’t help your profile.

Photos, as a lady on here said, stick your bum up... who at your work will recognise that? I’ve seen guys do little ‘loosening tie’ headless selfies etc, just things that hint at the person, playfulness, fun or whatever... anything is an improvement on nothing.

The one thing that is good... your 4 veris, sadly the person they paint utterly fails to come through in any form elsewhere... that’s perhaps the thinking you need to apply to the rest as in my opinion, to read veris you need to be a little bit intrigued.

Yes! A peculiarity to have verifications give off more character than the profile itself. For this curiosity I would reply if contacted but I would not initiate because the profile itself is so milquetoast.

As for no pics, I avoid conversing with people without a profile pic because it makes my inbox look miserable and confusing.
