If it represents you well then it's doing its job

You don't need the legal disclaimer though it's meaningless and FAQS actually ask that you don't use it.

Good luck and enjoy your time on fab

Cut it down a lot shorter, like, massively shorter. Far too much to read.

I don't think it needs much rewriting but you start off with no single guys which is emphasized a few times on the profile, but the next paragraph you are saying single guys if you want to get noticed then to fab pics and wink??

Also, you don't want single guys to get in touch, but also mention single guys don't send friend requests without getting in touch, but you don't want messages from single guys?

You could just set a filter to block single guys from messaging, have a one liner on the profile saying we will update status when looking or something along those lines and remove all the stuff from the profile. It would make it seem less aggressive and could be replaced with more of the stuff you enjoy or looking for?

This is just constructive criticism

Agree with the above poster. There's a lot of repetition re single males and it's all a bit confusing and contradictory.

You could lose the club list and just post an update in advance of those you're actually attending

The pics - for me - are a bit graphic and one dimensional but others I'm sure love them.

That said it's YOUR profile; if you're happy with it and it's serving you well then why change it. You can't please everyone but so long as it's how you want it to be then that's all that matters

"Is there anything on our profile which could be changed or made better, we attend clubs regularly and had a few meets, but something we feel could be better with out profile, thanks in advance.

If you’re setting out what you want and you’re happy with it then leave it as it is. It needs to be right for you.

Personally, we found it a little contradictory in places and a bit repetitive. But that’s only our opinion.

Ours comes across as very bossy, but we don’t care. Jules is a northern and says it as it is. Although still get some that don’t read and send pics and friend requests we don’t want!

You do you and enjoy.

Nice profile and if you like it who cares if others don’t ? If you’re looking constructive criticism however you may want to consider-

Losing the club list.

Losing the “put xyz in title”.

Losing the repetition re single guys.

Losing the disclaimer.

Have fun - after all, that’s what it’s all about !!!!

I agree with much if the above you repeat yourself a lot, no pics no requests all that jazz.

The disclaimer at the bottom means absolutely nothing it's just extra to read.

I can't see the man other than very close up genitals so for me personally that would be off-putting, I didn't scroll past the 1st page though.

All the sections on your write up start very negative, it's a profile we'd avoid I'm afraid.

I recommend adding penthouse playrooms to your list of clubs to visit. It's amazing!

I don't agree with disclaimers being meaningless. They are necessary reminders to so many that sharing other people's content without consent is not acceptable or lawful. A deterant for some and necessary should you ever be a victim of this. Without it you have zero chance of the law tackling the perpetrator in the criminal or civil courts.

I'm not saying this about all disclaimers, there are so many long winded cut and paste nonsense ones on profiles, they are the pointless ones.

I don’t like that you don’t sign your messages. If I’m approaching couples as a single woman, I’m trying to get a sense of both personalities so I can decide whether or not I’m interested

"You don't need the legal disclaimer though it's meaningless and FAQS actually ask that you don't use it.

I'm not saying this about all disclaimers, there are so many long winded cut and paste nonsense ones on profiles, they are the pointless ones. "

The following is from the site FAQS

We've noticed a legal disclaimer paragraph that some people have on their profiles. Should we have one too? What are they about? Do they do any good?

The "legal disclaimer" is pointless nonsense and all does is take up extra space on our servers. Please remove it if you have it on your profile. If you're worried about privacy please set your account to be hidden from non-registered users on your privacy page (this also hides it from search engines but may take a week or two to drop out of search) and remove the notice (and encourage others to do likewise).

Common sense advice would be NOT to put any information on your profile (here, or on any such site) that could identify you or that you don't want to become public! So for your own benefit, don't post phone numbers, real names or email / instant message addresses on your profile that people might see or "Google".

Some people may put non-identifying pics on their public profile but keep face pics private or for friends, for example.

I can only assume this means you don't finish messages by indicating who is typing

We never sign ours but have said in our profile that Mrs usually ends with a x and I don't.

Your profile is a lot better now I'd say. Only way it could be improved from our perspective is to do away with probably most of the time wasters and single makes bit. No need to tell people from the start what platform you prefer to chat on, just say when the subject comes up in messages. If they like you then they'll be cool with whatever your wishes are. If you're not looking for single males then maybe block the messages from them, although it does say that you're ok with a cheeky wink.

From our experience, when you block single males from messaging (they can however message you if you message or wink them) then most of the problems with just disappear and your left with mostly genuine people looking to meet. That's just our experience though and we appreciate that everyone is different.

Photo's, we'd only have a few good ones on public. Keep the rest to share with people when you start chatting and friends. Once a pic is out there on the web, it's out there forever.

Hope we've helped but we're only speaking from what we look for in a profile and again, everyone is different.
