Hello, for me if I don't like the photos then I don't even bother reading the profile. However, if I do like the photos then the content of the persons profile will seal the deal along with their chosen sex interests they have picked. I think your photos are good and your profile stands out from the usual and shows your quirky sense of humour. Not sure why you are attracting undesirables? :D

Your post was eloquent which immediately made me click onto your profile..I read it long before I checked out your pics...cause Im aural person..not many are - most are visually driven Your profile was warm, quirky, original and funny...hinting at a interesting individual...you are the kind of guy I would definitely like to have a drink with and no doubt it would be a entertaining evening ...however Im also a lot older than your target market and therefore ladies of my age do tend to appreciate the cerebral more.....Im of that caliber where brain and quirkiness has always taken precendence over brawn I think most women will appreciate your pretty pics but many of use women of substance will appreciate your use of language (read tongue..hehehehe) more.............. yes your words do appeal.... Good Luck ...oh to hell with it...........message me if you ever make it to Perth - like we are all gonna die in like 8 days anyway..lifes too short

So obviously it comes down to opinion and taste like everything in the world as both replies are antagonistic; in their own very complimentary ways.Accurately I was aiming for the slightly quirky/eccentric kind of feel with a hint of captivation; however not so far as to be simply unique but honest. I took the time last night to browse through a bunch of other males profiles with similar criteria to get a feel for what I'm up against - in a sense that we're not all playing a team sport so to speak. I did get a perception straight away that I fall into a left of center category in comparison.So far I've had some pleasurable chats with some amazing people but haven't hit many strings for meeting, and 99% of these are me doing the seeking - which I'm starting to assume is the way of the world with the M2F ratio. Strangely the audience I do seem to attract is Melbourne's entire gay male community; which of course I'm flattered by but just isn't my cup of tea, or soup, or chicken wing, or... you get the point. Thank you for the compliments, way to make a grown man blush in the privacy of his own home - my self esteems heating up the room now.Shinasbabe27 - just missed that boat, I was up in WA for a month travelling not long ago before I was on the site, I wouldn't have refused the offer then either ;)

Except maybe i was thinking....OMG! I want this man to date my daughter! Still laughing....... Honestly your profile is great, articulate and honest. Photos are interesting and tasteful. My only feedback is perhaps you present the image of someone a little more suited to settling down with than just having a quick tumble??

If someone's main profile picture does not immediately appeal to me, I probably would still read a profile out of curiosity. Sometimes, when I've been unsure, the written part has won me over. In your case both are excuisite, but it was your words that did it for me. I'm not a photographer and I don't play in instrument. As for the slow passionate lovemaking? Welll.... You ever get to Sydney? You can watch me dribble in my sleep any time.

Your profile is great. Funny, quirky, intelligent - just what I look for in a man. And your photos are good too. Although you do have 2 with 'rock on' hands..... Blindfolds, ice cubes, teasing.....mmmmmm Fancy a trip to Tassie??

Had me smiling and laughing and then wanting to ask the big question... Canon or Nikon? lol The funny thing is, had I looked at your photos, I probably would have skipped past as I tend to go for darker haired guys. But what you have written means that you are going to attract the women who are a little more intellectual. But that's just my opinion ;) Btw if you're ever in Brisbane, look me up hehe- Posted from rhpmobile

is your realm of desire?Are the women who are attracted to your profile lacking in humour,physically unattractive?As the other ladies here have commented,your profile is well written,your photos are fine,so hard to say whose buttons you aren't pressing. Maybe this post will attract those women who are within your realm of desire.

Your only 26 wow wish you were older.....your pics are the first thing I look at and they show a fun loving guy getting out and about who likes to enjoy himself and who would be fun to be around. Your profile is totally absorbing and why arent you attracting a good realm of women??? Maybe now you will.I wonder is there an older version of you sleep dribblers on here?

What sort of woman do you desire? Pics - most are ok (a couple are great) but the devil horns snaps come across as a touch immature (which is fine if younger women are your target market). As for the words...for me personally there's a touch too much pretension, you misspelled recite (which is a bit silly for someone proclaiming smarts) but it got better towards the end, where it sounds a little less forced.

Everything seems great, good opener, good content with no text speak, you have to be onto a winner as far as I'm concerned, my profile is fairly brief with tongue in cheek not far from the foreground. I really don't see the point in documenting everything that I like and dislike and the reality is that somethings we dislike can become endearing when the faux pas in question is really a non issue.It's difficult to hard sell yourself in a few paragraphs, but you can only do your best. I like short profiles with a cheeky one liner or two, the rest I can work out for myself if we get talking on msn, if we don't fit each others criteria there's always a block/delete option that either can use.

But maybe as some have said, you appeal to those of us who think love-making starts long before you reach the bedroom and if you don't engage the mind. . .well you don't engage anything. Having read your profile I was wishing I was a lot younger cos yes. . . I do play instruments and love collaborating and yes . . . I am an amateur photographer and Yes . . . . . I know how to manage ego-maniacs

Stop messaging/winking the ones you DON'T want(if you are that is. And ignore the unwanted attention), and just message those with whom you do...how hard is this??

Shit hardtruckin2011, that advice is amazing...In all honesty bud, that's pretty common knowledge, like a dick a day keeps digestion away.You're replying to my opening statement which wasn't technically a question - I'm curious on peoples perception of window shopping pictures versus reading biographies. What's your opinion on the two?ps. I really like your profile, very confident, chivalrous and to-the-point. Only thing I would change is put the chiivalry comment last - it kind of sums up everything.Cheers

I assume it comes down to showing you have a brain and being an open,free thinking person with some aspects of having a sexual/kinky mind while being respectful.Also you have to have some form of an X factor ,eye candy to attract a mate.A sensual respectful photo would help.You have to understand there is a larger number of men here than women.I tend to find maybe 6 men to every woman.@magestick you have a very artistic photo ,i am sure you will get a lot of attention.My 2 cents worth.

Given I wasn't asking for your opinion on my profile. If you're wanting to use a one size fits all approach, forget it. Every man, and woman are different, so it's horses for courses. Intellect is attractive to some or even most for sustaining, whereas the physical will help in a much shorter term focus. Just as long as YOU'RE happy with it, then what does it matter if someone else isn't??

It is honest and direct, just stay true to what you have said and eventually you will get the right ones coming to your door, it is important to be you, you seem like a unique being. I think you need mental stimulation as well as physical just going by your profile.

For me both things are important. I want someone who can string a coherent sentence together but at the same time I want to find them at least pleasant to look at. But for me what kinds of photos someone puts on their profile as well as the subject of the picture is important. I am probably going to sound like a wanker but if someone has one grainy photo taken in a toothpaste spattered bathroom with piles of clutter in the background I am going to be less impressed than compared to a picture that is at least clear and well lit.That said, I do look your photos and profile. I would probably be a bit intimidated about what you are seeking as I don't consider myself musical and my hobbies are amateur at very best. I also wonder about you confusing dominance with being sadistic.This is just one woman's sleep deprived ramblings so I hope I am making sense.

Magestick,The photos and the prose are all spot on, everyone gets a wide range of "types" looking them over, my profile runs at about 60-70% male here and elsewhere. People check you out for blog writing etc, checking out the competition, may have nothing to do with dating, just is. For what it's worth I would be concentrating on the older end of your range, just my reading of it all.Have fun.RR
