...and why not?!!

At least you're being honest!

It's nice having something to read other than "I'll fill this in later!" That said, I did find it a little too long and meandering and skipped bits, but that's just my opinion.

Saying in one paragraph you're free to meet cheating wives then in another say you'll delete and block them is, erm, well...inconsistent: you'll either meet married women or not.

Lovely to see someone who actually puts down they're kinky and what they like to do!

May you continue to have loads of fun!

I have to agree with the previous comment about will see cheating wives then you contradict yourself. It has to be one of the longest single guy profiles I have read and nearly thought about making another cuppa tea before sitting down to read it. That aside some editing would not go a miss but is a big improvement on the previous one. Only time will tell and wish you well.

My 2p and you did ask for it.

Definitely better than it was before now that you have removed a particular element.

However, I find it too long (fine thing to say I know as mine is quite long), and it contains quite a bit of waffling.

Your attempts to be witty have not worked on me, sorry.

I do not get a happy positive feeling after reading your profile, more like OMG, what a wet blanket. Sorry to be harsh, however, that's what I felt.

You'd be advised to have more pics showing body/bum/torso rather than just a cock pic in your public profile - ladies like to see those rather than just a cock pic.

Good luck!

what is your USP... unique selling point.. and I don't mean what you have deleted from your profile..

summarise of all your key strengths and what you seek.

and again good luck and wishing you well.

Great profile, humurous whilst being informative, but as the others say could do with a little editing to shorten it, shame you are so far away

Not a bad profile, definitely gets your personality across. What I would say is, maybe ditch the (I think) jokey bit where you take the mick out of what other people put in their profiles. It makes it longer and doesn't add anything about you. The stuff about Sydney Uni and the password stuff I mean

I remember your previous profile and whilst this is an improvement on that, I have to agree with those who have said that it's too long and contains a lot of waffle.

What constitutes the ideal length for a profile is debatable and I'm sure many of us would disagree on it. For me, it's all about the content rather than the length per se - quality over quantity, if you like.

I have seen longer profiles than your's which managed to keep my interest from the beginning right through to the end.

Unfortunately, whilst reading your's, I found myself skipping entire paragraphs because I'd grasped what point you were making early on and couldn't be bothered carrying on reading.

This may be because you're not really what I'm looking for (and vice-versa

) and I was only reading it in response to this thread - perhaps a female who stumbles upon your profile whilst searching for someone would have a different agenda and would take the time to read it in its entirety. I dunno... I can only comment on it from my perspective.

I hope you'll take my comments as being constructive, and not as a personal attack, as that's how I intend them to be. I do wish you good luck in your journey and hope that you can find what you're looking for.

Have to say I agree - I always try to think "does this add anything about me or what I'm looking for" with each bit I write. There are loads of other things I considered putting in mine but I decided the key bits of info and my deal breakers were covered so left it at that!

Its very long, and I skipped a lot of it. However it did come across as being warm and friendly. Have you reworked this profile before after receiving feedback - its not always a good thing. If you listened to every one and tried to work in their advice, you would end up with a profile the size of War and Peace - its not necessary. Just be yourself and write what you feel sums up your personality.

Reading

Well I read your other post and saw your old profile, so here is my opinion.

Like: You come across as caring, funny and genuine all in one go, from the posts I have readon here since I joined thats a good quality for someone to have in a profile.

Hhhmmm maybe things that needs to be changed: I think overall some of the jokes are a little cheesy and might put of protental people, I think you only need a few in there, within the first two paragraphs I could tell you are a funny person.

Dislike: Its way to long, sometimes a big profile is good but on this occasion bigger is not better, I know you have a lot to say but I think some parts just arent needed, I found myself skipping parts and thats never good.

Anyway I hope this feedback helps, I do wish you the best of luck on here and I know you will get a meet eventually as I think people will be attracted to you just by your personality alone as it really shows within the profile.

Seems good to me - conveys your personality and gets across what you're looking for. Like someone else says, if youre happy with it leave it - it's your profile at the end of the day

If you are happy with it then thats the main thing. I do see a lot of women offer advice, put this in, take this out etc etc, these women are never gonna meet you anyway. Its a nice profile, you're a nice guy, Id be interested if you were nearer to me, lovely face pic, but ultimately if you like, if it works for you, then it will work for whoever wants to meet you

Just a general Thank You!

To those that have been really positive and supportive in numerous thought and suggestions many here are within the thread and other where really sweet in PM's directly to me...

A few replies to still sit down and write yet so I will be getting back to you shortly.... : )

Oh course profiles are quite subjective really... you're never going to everybody... but I hope it's still honest and true and reflective who or what I am? Who knows? lol

I even had one lovely message me... in the sense she fully admitted that she never ever sends out the first message... So blimey! It's a shame she's half way across the country in such dire weather conditions... I'd be on route now? lol

So remember I've still got a few to reply to and you'll get replies I promise!

Sorry for tagging onto your post, I often wonder the same thing in profiles, and often wonder if my own is too long/too short or waffles, so found some of the info on this post of interest.

So I second any thank you's to the commenters

Well I'm glad others have gleaned useful pointers too? And I feel the only thing I lack that it appears the ladies would perhaps like to see are some butch and manly photos of thighs and bum cheeks... a good torso or chest shot... strong arms and stuff like that? So bar not having tha assets to photograph in the first place... Would anybody like to offer to take some photos of who ate all the pies belly... moobs and chest hair... and funny lilly white legs? lol

I'm sure Photoshop will make be look like a total beef cake with a skilled artist? lol

So what was it being said in the photographer thread yesterday? Or are guys not so favoured for photo shoots? There must be a female photographer interested...

I know the answer is No!

Get a tripod and use the self-timer on the camera.

That's how I took my own photos before I had helpers.

I do not use Photoshop to alter anything except to change the colours.

I just edit out the bad bits and show the good bits, that's all!

Why would anyone want to photo-shop themselves anyway?

Surely it would be far too embarrassing when you met someone on the strength of your altered pics and they were obviously disappointed.

The only thing we do with our pics is alter the contrast.

funny but arent you the guy who used to say he was a 40 year old virgin and proud of it ... ??? but wanted to be made unproud ??? guess it didnt work ??so a new profile was needed ???

anyhow a change is a good as rest as they say and this is a complete change from the first profile you ever put on, and would make me very suspect, but hey thats just us

Hello Mr & Mrs Teez

Yes... I'm who you very much suspect... and we did contact each other 5 months ago? I think?

Maybe your doubts are valid... I can't force anyone to understand me fully... each and every person can judge me as theyfill fit at the end of the day... as we all do here on fab?

So we like others we hate but its pure based on a snap shot of someone... like any friendships or relationship with others in this world everybody is quick to judge others sadly?

I started off on fab keeping a secret... and it came back to bite me and hurt my feelings personally and rather upset me (and a few others...) at the time...

I've tried then with the details out there open for all to see... and yes totally agree its not for everyone taste... but I'm still just a chap... I have feelings and emotions... good days and bad days... positive moments and negative moments... it's life!!

The open profile won some hearts and fire up others into doubt (and possibly hate?) for me... i don't know? And now with thicker skin... I honestly don't mind either way how people feel or see me? Because like any individual only he or she alone knows the truth... if other want to doubt it I'm certainly not going to spend energy anymore trying to convince them otherwise...

I'm here on my face value alone now...

Yes I've revamped my profile... put in a wish list of things I would love to see and try out... and why not? I correctly or incorrectly try to inject some humour? Don't know if people get my humour or not? The whole thing I hope is a means to filter people... and show or tell people about myself?

I only asked for some _iews... some people loved it others it bored to death? but I certainly can't please all of the people on here... none can...

All I hope to do is try and kick some life into what I'm here for... it might just work or it might be me falling flat on my face again... Fuck knows? lol

I'm here to have fun ultimately and those that want to help can and are welcomed and equally those aren't also help and it adds to the re_iew process... your profile is an advert in marketing terms... and you have to pitch it at those you wish to capture surely?

I seek not to waste my time or the time of others... I like to have a giggle and a laugh... I might of had the result I seek yet? But who knows? If this doesn't work I'll try again? I'm here for now and staying and if at first you don't successed then try... try again!

So please I'm not ranting at anybody... those that don't like me don't like me... it very possibly mutual... life is too short!

All I can be open and honest and just be me!
