I keep playing around with my bio... I'm acutely aware that the tone in which you write something, isn't always the same in which it's read.

If I could get a little feedback, it would be genuinely appreciated... definitely starting to overthink this.

Nothing wrong with it, looks perfectly fine. The fact you’ve bothered to write anything will probably stand you in good stead

Majority leave a lot to be desired when it comes to speaking to people they’d like to get involved with

I know now strictly aimed at me, but I think it's really good. Clear, well thought through and funny. Would stand out from the crowd, in a good way!

Spotted a typo if you want some real pedantry ("pig's" not "pigs"! Sorry, don't hate me- pedantry is a disease)

What strikes me is Just another guy and your a I is a dictionary pic

Yup just another deck pic guy. #block

From a couples POV and just ours as you asked.

Some folk like a bit of stimulating conversation first

Then something else stimulating later .

Our experience is get to a club and get to any pre socials.

We have a much better time connecting over a few drinks first then onto a club, of course area depending

This is purely my opinion, but you sound a great guy that's peppered his bio with a lot of stuff, some negative. It's also quite long and very bullet pointy, making it a bit hard to follow.

Shorten the sexuality bit, and put more of a positive spin on what it is you're looking for. List your wants and explain why and it comes across positively. Peppered in between "I'm a man so how dare I have standards" is a bit off for first impression.

Genuinely just what I think, good luck!

I get what you're saying, I wasn't sure about it myself if I'm honest. Cheers mate

I found it to be a good read….

The only criticism I have is that you won’t accommodate on first meet as they could be a weirdo yet you go on to say that you’re happy to go to theirs lol, why would you expect that if you don’t allow it?

Just saying!

I generally like it, a lot.

But, I question why you have spent a lot of time clarifying your position towards interest in men, towards the start of your profile. This kind of elevates the topic, when your emphasis may be potentially better skewed towards other aspects of you and your interests.

A well thought out profile, with good pics, that appears 'honest'.

If I had to niggle it would be that a couple of the pics are a little too dark but that really is scra-ping* the barrel.

Fair point, though I wouldn't say I "expect" it, just, that I'm happy to go to people's homes if they're more comfortable with it than a hotel etc

It never used to be as prolific but... the messages I was getting kinda made me think I should clarify things a bit more. I see what you're saying though, I'll have a rethink, thanks for the feedback

You're not the first to mention the photos being too dark... Good excuse to take more though

A spot you want me

Ah you've changed it... I really liked the old one and now I can't tell you why

But it still has a really nice chill tone, with loads of specifics that help the reader sense if you'd match well with them.

As others have said it's simply a good length, I will literally ignore the one/two line bios regardless of quality of pics (but that's personal preference I'm sure)

On this version as others have said, I wouldn't start on a negative (think some of this was in your old one, but not first up), you've now also added an extra bit to your slimmer preference (which I can only imagine as you've had a few bites on it) but don't, it would add to my sense your more fixed on this point and put me off saying hi (ha, maybe you wouldn't want me to and that's the point)

Happy hunting

In the first section you’ve missed the apostrophes in ‘I’m’ and ‘It’s’ at the start of last 2 paragraphs of that section, also in ‘I’m’ just after you say ‘new guy’…sorry for being pedantic but just trying to help as you’ve asked.

I also don’t get why you say that about not wanting to be sucked off in a car park, have your piss drank and that you’re not a prostitute after saying you’re not into single men. It kind of sounds like you’re having a dig at all single men and implying that they’re all looking for cocks to suck in a car park and piss to drink. I’m not sure if that’s what you meant or if you were just stating a few things you aren’t into but that’s how it comes across.

Apart from that it’s a really good profile. It’s amazing how so few people are complaining that you have dick pics on your profile when normally it’s the main complaint people have….I wonder if it has something to do with you having a great body and an amazing cock haha.

Why can't you tell me?

Its not meant to be a negative, helpful to know that's how it comes across though... ill have a rethink

The preference thing has gotten some negative reactions, yeah... Best to be honest from the get-go though, right?

Edited, thanks man.

Not a dig at all single men, but you'd be surprised (I was, at least) at how many times I get asked haha.

Working on a more diverse range of pics, thanks for the compliment though

Hey OP.

I think that the general tone of the bio will work for those you're trying to attract and share a compatible sense of humour. It strikes me as being a bit negative to be honest but finding a way to marry what you want and not be negative can be difficult.

If your filters are blocking single men, why do you have to mention the piss/prostitute thing? As an opener it's certainly... something.

The line about nothing looks better on a woman than confidence is guff, own your preference for slimmer if you're going to follow it up with the "sniff of a vagina" line. State what you like, don't try and appease and then let out you're a bit irked by it.

I don't think it's bad. Hopefully you do attract those you want to.

Hey _eli

I don't have filters on. I could pretend it's for participating in forums etc but, in all honesty... its likely just cos I enjoy getting compliments (who doesn't, right?)

You're right about the effort to appease my preference though, there's no denying that. But I genuinely do think confidence is one of the most appealing traites on someone... its not just "a line".

I'm gonna have a re-think on how to better word the bio in a way that comes across more positive. It wasn't intended as negative but, other people's take on it, was the whole point in this thread... I'd be daft to ignore them.

Thanks for the feedback
