Is it just me or is the standard of the majority of single men's profiles awful ... A line about looking for NSA fun, no pics and every interest ticked. Do they really see this as appealing, I wouldn't talk to them, let alone meet them. There should be a minimum word count for profiles and a no pic no profile rule

My profile is absolutely crap.

no really it is.

It is sometimes hard to write about stuff, when you know there is boobs on another click of the mouse.

They haven't got a bad name as far as we are concerned .

We don't want to read a life story .

If they are fit and clean , that's good enough for us

Nobody spoils anything for anyone other than themselves.

If those making no effort are obvious then surely it should work in your favour and make it far easier to spot those putting effort in??

I'm not moaning or doing a "look at me" jig -but there are lots of guys who have well written profiles with excellent pics (far better than mine) I'd love it if we could do a survey of the number of positive responses they get over the authors of the more minimalistic male profiles.

That said there have been threads that advise guys to make more effort which has been echoed by the posts on here.

When ladies have well written profiles it is only fair that we read them.

I expect that ladies with very little on their profiles still get bucket loads of emails. (sorry I said I wasn't moaning - just observing)

Like I said I have found some wonderful male profiles, just think maybe there should be a minimum profile length so that everybody has to make a reasonable amount of effort

A profile only gives you a slight insight to there personality, Chatting to them gives you a bit more but only after meeting them can you really have a opinion,

Will update later when they have been on here for months/years are the worst in my opinion

Single guys get such a bad rap on here for their profiles and pics etc. Sure a lot of this is justified but many women's profiles are just as bad.

Too many women think they can take some kind of moral high ground on this site simply because they're women. For every piss poor single guy's profile there's a piss poor single girl's profile.

As I said I only have experience with single men but liker I have said as minimum profile length will force evertyboidy to put in the effort. Not trying to claim the moral high ground I have just put some effort into my profile and I feel cheated getting nessasges from people with the bare minimum on there

I'm really not good with writing profiles. If people speak to me, i seem to tickle their interests. I don't think my profile is that bad is it?

However, women can have fuck all on their profiles and they'd still be inundated with messages.

It's not easy being a guy on here.

I don't understand the problem here - or maybe I'm just being thick!

You see a shit profile - whether browsing or upon recieving a message. You decide that as the owner hasn't bothered putting in any effort that you're not interested.

Is that not a benefit? Does that not make identifying potentially compatible people who you might be interested in a far, far easier and less time consuming task?

I can't think of many things that make the decision making process simpler!

If people choose not to put effort in - why encourage them to do so by a 'quota' or minimum standard of profile creation rules?

It would just blur the lines between those choosing to make an effort and those doing so because they have to.

Rocket science it is not!!

There...

There are some awful profiles for males, females and couples. No one is exempt. I guess I'm not the only one who reads a profile before reading a message and then deciding whether to bother reading the message or just hitting the delete button! None of this is rocket science. It's a shop window for swinging...

My point being was that it isn't only males, it's females as well.... Whether they still get messages is down to the fact that some men aren't as fussy as females about profiles then

I think some women think because men outnumber them ten to one on here they don't have to put in much effort and the men will come running. They put in no effort and the men flock to them anyway. Sadly that's just how us men tend to operate. This also inflates their ego making them think they're more special than they really are.

They don't like cock pics (as you may have heard!) but I'm not overly impressed with a gallery full of arse/cleavage/leg/pouting lips pics. Or when was 'fill this bit in later' an adequate profile. Or a profile that's just a list of things they don't like. You really think that you're going to attract a decent guy like that?

Ok rant over! Will just end by saying there are some wonderful ladies on here and when you find one it's great but there are also a lot of dreadful ones too.

I'm one of those shockingly bad female profiles. ...some guys still message but not a huge amount and that suits me just fine. I don't need a big list of what i want or don't want. Somehow i manage to hook up with those that i want to meet. Equally I've met guys with very little profile effort and they have been very worthwhile. The profile isn't the be all and end all to everybody.

The question is does the profile content really matter or do the pictures that will incline the respondent reply or not ?..I think in reality its the latter...A great well constructed profile with pictures showing a guy you will never fancy in a month of Sundays ?...

This kind of profile is really quite nice. It's truthful and the pics are beautiful. It's those really whiny negative one's that tell you how much they hate the guy's on here and what they don't like that I really hate.

My favourite female profiles of all time include:

The classic

"Here 4 sum fun"

The unbeatable

"Hrny"

and the one that stood out the most was

.

p.s. the length and amount of effort in a profile does not equal amount of success. But mine is shite. Don't look at it

I find to find the generalization offensive im single too yet do everything to show im genuine pics and everything. Loneliness is such a terrible thing and is it too much to want some company from time to time? Also most wont look at you unless you have verifications but how can you get them if no one wants to meet?

To be honest all profiles are as bad as each other regardless of their status(Male/female/couple)

I'd rather go to a line profile than a profile that is just ranting just to make up word count.

However,what you have read about them does it say who they really are?

Good point. A person's profile won't tell you all the in's and out's of their personality and psyche. Although with some of the women's profiles they do come across as moaning cows. Moan, moan, moan! You're always going to have to chat to someone a little first to get any idea if they're what you're looking for.

I loved reading the '3 facts about you' threads the other day - I thought to myself at the time that some of the comments on there gave a far better insight than their actual profiles.

If we were looking for new friends I'd have messaged a few based on that thread alone - but the profiles by themselves wouldnt have attracted.

If there was a minimum word count i bet there would be profiles that still said nothing more than just looking for nsa fun then the rests of the characters are a screen full of x's or some daft crap like that

Sorry, just making up the minimum character count for my post! I don't want to force effort out of someone I may meet, I want them to put it in because they want to not to tick a minimum standard box. You make a minimum character demand and all you'll get is random text like my opening line or a sentence about how their trying to make up the minimum word count to pad out an effortless profile. Leave them to their 'will fill in later' and look for like minds who know putting the effort in will help get meets

Interesting.....

I have just tweaked my profile on Monday just removed some bits that were not working, and added some bits.

I agree for a single guy profile is like a cv, you have to sell yourself, a mixture of a good summary, decent photos but also get yourself know on forums and chat, go to clubs and socials.

I am lucky that none of my veris are sexual, as for me to much detail is a bit full on. I like for people to see me as I am.

I always read profiles. A well written one can be the difference to me being interested or not. The pics could be of the fittest bloke on the planet but if the profile is non existent then I wouldn't be interested.

I think there is a certain cut off point to that. If you were very attracted to the person you would still message to gage their personality.

A bland profile means they have made no effort which is as personality trait that I do not find attractive so I wouldn't message

True for some maybe but I really don't like chatting too much on here, find it very sterile chatting via written text. I like a profile to engage me enough and say enough about what a person wants and is like so I can gauge whether I want a social so I can message then arrange. Hate all this message ping pong.

But you only have one pic, and it gives absolutely no clue as to what you look like. How could anyone decide if they find you 'appealing'? Or is there a different standard for single females?

the point of this thread isnt about being deemed appealing but putting in effort. I don't want to advertise my face as I have found far too many people I know here. I am more than happy to message pics as my profile states. And as I lack public pics I have filled out my profile honestly and with effort to show im genuine.

I cant think of anything else to say because these moany threads are boring and shouldnt be taken seriously so here's a pancake recipe

100g plain flour

Pinch of salt

1 egg

300 ml milk

1 tablsp. melted butter or sunflower oil

To Cook

Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Crack the egg into the well; add the melted butter or oil and half the milk. Gradually draw the flour into the liquid by stirring all the time with a wooden spoon until all the flour has been incorporated and then beat well to make a smooth batter. Stir in the remaining milk. Alternatively, beat all the ingredients together for 1 minute in a blender or food processor. Leave to stand for about 30 minutes, stir again before using.

To make the pancakes, heat a small heavy-based frying until very hot and then turn the heat down to medium. Lightly grease with oil and then ladle in enough batter to coat the base of the pan thinly (about 2 tablsp.), tilting the pan so the mixture spreads evenly. Cook over a moderate heat for 1-2 minutes or until the batter looks dry on the top and begins to brown at the edges. Flip the pancake over with a palette knife or fish slice and cook the second side.

I used to have a long profile text shallowly talking about myself and what im after . It got me a few meets in the early days !

Now mines a two liner and my only public pic is my arse and ive got lots of friends who want to meet and ive had plenty of meets of this newer profile .

Think the OP is just another Man basher .

But it was you who started using the 'appealling' word. My point is that you have chosen to put up one pic that won't help anyone looking at your profile. It's your choice, and that's fine, but it's a bit rich for you to then complain about other profiles not being appealing (again, your word).

The reality on here is that a woman could have a one line profile, no profile pic or public pics and she will still get messages, a guy probably won't. Who cares what people put, its their profile at the end of the day, they can do what they like with it. I will message the profiles I'm attracted to and not the ones I'm not.

"I've tried to make mine as best as possible I know I could insert a face photo in public but we all have jobs in the public but discretion is key for me "

Agree with this, loads of women and couples say if they see cock pics they are instantly turned off, most want face pics but how many people are comfortable putting a face pic on their profile or attaching a face pic on initial contact email? The recipient could be someone who knows you!

Question for everyone on here -

If you received a message with a face picture, and you realised you knew the person, whether that be a work colleague, friend etc, would you -

a. say hello and welcome them to your swinging world

b. not reply / politely decline but keep it confidential to protect your own privacy

c. have a great laugh and get the rumour out there that they are a sexual deviant

d. Tell their husband / wife / partner if they are attached

Back on topic, strangely though, some of the simplest profiles displaying the largest cocks seem to have the most verifications….

Which is why you shouldn't take too much notice of the people on the forums. They are a fraction of the site. Men who are attractive to the masses will not struggle to get meets,if you haven't got it no amount of advice will help.

I have no idea whether my profile is good or bad. But judging from the minimal first messages I receive, it can't be anything special. If I message someone and they then actually look at my profile, I may get a response. This is how it works for me and I have no complaints. I may message, which is then instantly deleted without the recipient ever having looked at my profile. I know all about stealth mode, but with the speed it is deleted.....

So I think for many pictures/avatar is more important than profile anyway.

Like others I have seen some very poor profiles, single females and couples. I can't comment on single males, because I don't look at them. I don't think the op is single male bashing, just pointing out that with them being the majority on here, how do they expect to make a good first impression when they have nothing to say about themselves.

and this is what it simply comes down to....

the site gives you the chance to stand out.... if you want to!!!

when you see a lot of the "what am i doing wrong" threads... have a look at the profiles, I don't think some realise that it sometimes takes a modicom of effort...

its one of those things i label as "basic common sense"..... if people cant be bothered to use it, i don't see why people should have to point it out to them.....

as others have said.... if it offends people, use it as a filter.. i wish more people would..

Nobody spoils anything for anyone other than themselves.

If those making no effort are obvious then surely it should work in your favour and make it far easier to spot those putting effort in??

Am I wrong?

A

Saved me typing

I don't understand the problem here - or maybe I'm just being thick!

You see a shit profile - whether browsing or upon recieving a message. You decide that as the owner hasn't bothered putting in any effort that you're not interested.

Is that not a benefit? Does that not make identifying potentially compatible people who you might be interested in a far, far easier and less time consuming task?

I can't think of many things that make the decision making process simpler!

If people choose not to put effort in - why encourage them to do so by a 'quota' or minimum standard of profile creation rules?

It would just blur the lines between those choosing to make an effort and those doing so because they have to.

Rocket science it is not!!

I agree.

My profile has had the bare minimum effort put into it. One photo, minimal text etc My inbox is constantly full though. It’s definitely different for women.

Yes and one of the reasons is the ratios, so they dont have to put in so much effort.

I agree.

My profile has had the bare minimum effort put into it. One photo, minimal text etc My inbox is constantly full though. It’s definitely different for women. "

Try having no photo and see what happens.

It's one heck of a pic, hardly a surprise you get mail.

Most definitely a minimum word count needed and atleast one public pic. Maybe a maximum too as I'm sure my profile has too much lol

Exactly. It's not gender specific, just more noticeable due to numbers.

over there by that tree

Profile writing is fairly tough for some, impossible for most and the ones that have managed it have nailed it completely.

1,Do you try to be witty and funny? - not everyone’s humor is the same.

2, Humble brag? - no one likes smug.

3, List of likes? - possibly risk turning it into a shopping list.

A mixture of the 3 is a good shout.

Sometimes people are not very good at using the written word in a way which sells them the best, and hopefully hit a chord with the 1st message.

But Imo the majority are just to lazy to bother with anything half decent.

Yes an extremely broad generalisation I know.

Been reading a lot saying putting in no effort

I think have put a fare bit of effort in my profile more the some couples and single woman.

One or no photos at all but demanding a face photos in the first message you send them.

Then long list of bull shit ruling out 98% of the whole male population world wide.

If your going to want lots of effort ask you self are you worth that sort of attention would you go in to a night club in the real world thinking the men there should sweep you off your feet

I'm a person and I expect to be treated as an individual, with respect, dignity, and courtesy. That's true whether I attract sexual attention in the real world or not.

What difference does it make really

Everyone in this site is looking for sex in some shape or form .

I’ve had a few meets off here and it’s usually from chatting . not the profile or the pics that make the meet happen .

If someone wants nsa they will be happy

You can’t judge anybody from a profile .

You can’t put personality into words or pics .

Others copy text from well written profiles

Most lie and have outdated pics or use angles to make them look better ( it’s only natural ) to make yourself out to be nicer or more appealing.

I get more action in pubs than from here

Ironic really

Surely, male, female or couples profiles should be a blance of interesting profile txt and decent pictures.

Having said that if they have a face like a bag of pork scratchings it would kill it stone dead for me and the same for them if they found me not to their own taste.

When you go into a resteraunt and order what you hope is going to be a delicious meal do you not read the menu first!....

Reality of it is sad. It's not just single men who speak such a way. Very few speak as they would face to face. That includes couples and females. Let's not start this single guy bashing again. Gets boring

My point goes for anyone really. Treat people as people, no matter how attractive you do or don't find them.

And yes, I delete without reply all the time. But the equivalent in a pub would be a no thank you or being asked to be left alone. Different standards in different environments.

I don’t understand what you find to be ‘undesirable’ about the quoted post? Surely as a single male there’s a lack of meets never mind building anything more than a one night nsa marathon.

If there’s nothing on their profile, it makes no difference, women still don’t reply when there is. What’s wrong with ticking all of the preferences? Surely if they’re into trying it out, that’s entirely their decision - it doesn’t make them undesirable.

Just an observation.

The world is fucking gross its a cruel hard place and coming on here thinking you can stay in a safe bubble where everyone is going to tell you what you want to hear is not doing your self any favours.

I have always had the attitude on fab would people say that to my face and every time so far when they have had the opportunity they just went red with embarrassment and did not say a word to me.
