"Nobody really reads them anyway " Oh I disagree (hence putting this thread up!) - I read every profile that has messaged, of course some take 2 seconds only as they just mention "fill in later" or something. Seriously, I think guys have much greater chances of meets if they have a decent profile. So many women have stated in their profiles what they like and dislike and still receive unsolicited cock pictures and ""How are you finding the site?" | |||

"What makes a great profile is very subjective. What appeals to one person will put another off. However I am a big believer in “Informative and helpful “ profiles. What I mean is profiles that very clearly communicate what that person or couple seek. I like “cut to the chase” profiles that leave you in no doubt as to whether or not you should reach out to them. Time is precious isn’t it ? "Agreed - and yours is very clear in its message - I have peeped a fair few times just to be sure I had seen all the pictures as well. | |||

"But what do you give ? You like to know what others seek but do you share what you have to offer. I read a profile on the forum very recently because a poster requested it and they requested feedback. I didn't give feedback. I avoided being open and honest. Most people praised the profile. I just thought , 'this is written by someone desperately trying to portray themselves as something they aspire to' .... they really missed out the nuts and bolts. They didn't write it from the 'buyers' perspective and they didn't say what they could bring to the table. It was like reading a sugary ideal beneath the image of a wannabee adonis.... It was empty of attraction in any way." And while different profiles surely can cater for different tastes...I agree that anything that sounds non-authentic would likely elicit similar responses in other people. | |||

"It's very subjective...for me it would be the content (pics /vidoes)...showcasing a mix of eroticism, artistic talent and being able to express some of the person's personality in it. The dick/pussy pics, penis in vagina pics and bathroom selfies are just boring! " I find them boring, too, tbh. I know that not everybody has visual literacy and the ability to write creatively - and surely trying to imagine what the reader might think reading the profile and listening to the common noises in the forums eg about unsolicited dick pics and one liner profiles.... would make people think about putting a bit more content? | |||

"One of my favourite male profile pictures was a guy standing next to Town or Village signs that had unusual or risqué names like Cockermouth or Bitchfield. Best text was a poem, very funny and rude. Both guys had verifications and they weren’t Greek gods, but you could tell they would be fun to meet. "That's what I am looking for - people whose company I would enjoy. For me sex is better with people I like, enjoy laughing with and just feel good in their company. | |||

"I’ve been complimented over my profile, but ultimately it’s pretty whimsical, although I hope it makes people who can be bothered to read it at least smile; and occasionally chortle. I like a profile that makes me feel I’d like to spend time in this person’s company not necessarily in a sexual way. " Just read yours.... I want to be in that cupboard with you, alas I think my bum is too big to fit both of us in there. Brilliant profile! | |||

AAbsolutely agree... I don't mind a tasteful cock shot in a profile - I just don't appreciate being sent a random dick picture as a way of introduction "I don't post them at all, if people don't want a random dick pic sent in a message, why should I make them see one on the public profile too? The friends stuff has it, I will happily send one on demand in a private message. As far as profile goes, wording is always tricky because I'm much better verbally than written and I suspect a lot of people get bypassed for this reason when in real life they are probably very witty and obane. Everyone is allowed to be picky, but if I start to put too many don'ts on my own profile it can make me look arrogant and narcissistic. Ladies can do that because the sheer weight of rubbish landing in their message box means they have to. Anyway, OP you have a very interesting profile and you seem like a good person, just one that has been messed around a lot. | |||

I have received a lot of cock pictures despite requesting on my profile for this not to happen and loads of one liner messages which I now ignore.
I think if some people (probably mainly males) were to read profiles and perhaps listened a bit to what women really want, they could be more successful.

"Completely disagree with those who claim nobody reads profiles anyway! For me, they're so important. They've got to fulfil several main purposes - to inform and to intrigue being the main ones, I guess. But also they must stay within certain parameters - mainly not being too slutty (just a little bit, though!), neither being too vague or withdrawn (I need you to give me SOMETHING, after all!).

"I like a profile that has had effort put into it and allows a little of their personality to shine through. If it makes me smile then even better. " You have a very good profile, it says exactly what you do and don't want. Being very attractive as you are though, is it a double edge sword, attracting the wrong kind of attention? | |||

Thank you… but pretty much every woman on here attracts messages from people that aren’t for them. It’s just how the site is. | |||

" Thank you… but pretty much every woman on here attracts messages from people that aren’t for them. It’s just how the site is." I'm almost annoyed that my age is on the very edge of your range, still another year till I sail off the end of the world though. What are your thoughts on bypassing messaging completely and just speaking to people in the clubs like Chams or The Attic? | |||

"I kept chopping stuff out of mine and now there’s hardly anything left. " I just realised I created more work (and fun!!) for myself as I find myself checking out every profile and its pictures. Glad I did though.... would have missed some really good ones like these... | |||

"So I have seen a fair amount of criticism of badly written profiles, more often than not expressed about male than female or TV profiles. I have just seen a truly amazing, well-written profile of a young man, quite possibly the best I have seen on fabs. The mind of profile that is reasonably long but I wanted to read it to the end as it was truly intriguing. So, I wanted to pose the question what makes a really good male profile for you on here.
Completely disagree with those who claim nobody reads profiles anyway! For me, they're so important. They've got to fulfil several main purposes - to inform and to intrigue being the main ones, I guess. But also they must stay within certain parameters - mainly not being too slutty (just a little bit, though!), neither being too vague or withdrawn (I need you to give me SOMETHING, after all!). It's subtle... and highly subjective! "Again, a really interesting profile which I would not have seen if I had not put up this thread. Great pictures, an example of being fully dressed (sort of..) and still very sexy! | |||

"Effort to share himself, more than just his cock. Something about his personality or interests. Confidence not arrogance. " Spot on and I love the statement in your profile about being asked "what type" ... so true! | |||

"I don't think my profile is particularly enticing but I wanted it to be honest. For me, though I'm put off more by what a profile says they're not looking for than I am by what it says. I find it more important how they come across in the forums and over messages than what's written on their profile. That said I've seen a few profiles where the person managed to get their personality over very well. That's got to help win people over." It is not easy, I agree, to show your personality without actually saying too much or sounding full of oneself. I also think it is a good thing to review a profile from time to time to see if it is still what you want it to be. Some people do not change their profile and that's probably accurate as to who they are but some of us change over the years, not just in looks. | |||

"I feel that putting in a profile with a description of what you like , a bit about yourself , A handful of pics and make it genuine and a bit of humour , I always take my time to read profiles and enjoy hating a bit first, I tend to think you get better responses from them , mines probably not fir everyone but know it’s hopefully better done than a lot " If a profile is more "niche market" that is cool, I think. You are quite clear in what you are looking for and what you are about I think! | |||

"Oh I always read profiles it gives you a little idea off the person. I also like to look at their verifications too." Really good point that nobody has mentioned yet. I read verifications, try and read between the lines as well and see if they reflect similar attributes across the board. Some veris do put me off a litte, others make me want to meet that person. | |||

"I don’t read make profiles.
I read male, female, TV, gay etc profiles... for inspiration, amusement (some profiles have me in stitches, in a good way!) and just for fun. "I do hear what your saying, it is refreshing to read so thing that sounds unique and not run of the mill. It becomes toredome reading negativity, but I suppose we all go through that mood sometimes, so I accept I’ll read that sometimes. There are some good witty people, and it shines in a well writer prose. | |||
