Great advice.I think your barber pole socks are one of the greatest reasons for your success. The sliding down your leg effect is so suggestive. It must help to have a good imagination.. or if you havent got one, engage the skills of a friendly photographer who has one.HugsStalky

do profiles fail? how does that feel? we imagined it was the people behind them who failed...and that some will always fail...regardless of how enticing thier profile might appear.....we've chatted with many many people who looked right for us when we read what they had written and looked thru the pics they had posted....only to get to the chat stage and find they arent even close to what they represented themselves as.... profiles guarantee nothing....

Lets not get pedantic, but some profiles obviously fail to entice. If they do entice, then it's up to the person behind the profile to take it further. I love how "we" have one opinion, Mike. It's so reassuring to know you don't think that bullshit up all by yourself. Hugs Stalky

'we' play, and 'we' discuss a huge number of subjects. including topics as posted in the forums. Mike's as pissed of with the 'bullshit' profiles as I have been, and its something we discussed just recently. if i say 'we', its because its exactly that. if i say 'I', it means me. most of the time the 'I' is Michael. other times its 'we' because we may be sitting in the lounge with the laptop nearby. or is that too complicated?

What I just can’t make sense of is the guys out there, after all these years and after all the advice provided in the forums. Guys and to a lesser extent couples that attempt to hook up should apply some RHP basics. Photos – Three options Public Gallery is something to give your intended viewer a bit of an idea of what you may be like both in height and weight as well as something of your personality. Private Gallery One is where you can put in some face and body shots Private Gallery Two if you so desire some more intimate or action shots. This is the advice I give all the guys who come for their profile stuff, I take the cock and action pictures but I tell them please just leave that in gallery number two, And do not show it unless a person asks to see your working equipment It may be a guy asking to see your cock, who is on RHP disguised as a woman you just never know. If you do not want to show your face leave it in gallery one, but get one of your body up there with your face turned away. Everyone with any brains likes to see what is in store for them before they consider a meeting. Picture this a girlfriend went on a date, and who turned up her lawn mower man who was a married man with Bermuda sox and a comb over, she never had her picture up either so she deserved the Surprisee! They say a picture paints a thousand words, well at least try to get fifty words up there to describe yourself. Do not put in your profile all the things you can do for a woman,like your have a guarantee on your dick. You cannot guarantee a thing, and anyone who says things like ? "you will not be sorry" I feel sorry just reading that comment. Good topic and yep , it has to be an ongoing subject as remember there are always new people who sign up and are like babes in the woods when it comes to profiles. I have done a few guys profiles now and their pictures and after they get it done their batting average goes up. One guy got laid the day after I did his profile after being on this site for ages with not a nibble. So it works to put some effort into your profile. This goes for men and women. As a woman you may get hit on but its also important that you have a picture of yourself that’s current is only fair that a man has no unwanted surprises either.

...and finally, someone whose post is actually longer than one of mine! | Quoting 'tuscanred'no idea what happend then,and I dont even drink! | That could be the problem right there...you might get a syntax error posting in here if you aren't half belted. | | Quoting 'Stalky_Bum' I love how "we" have one opinion... | Now, now...don't be pedantic. Could just be the royal "we" ...and the Queen was just here, right? I'm sure that cost the Australian public some serious money so glad to see there was some benefit derived from the visit. The budget it tight...we have to look for those "value adds" in everything. | *gives the royal wave to the crowd" ...see ya!

Honestly thought that was awesome advice. This will no doubt sound terribly superior, which is not my intention, but sometimes I just feel sooooo sorry for some of the men on here. They come across as such desperados and it seems to me they'll never have a chance.Still, there's always been plenty of feedback on here about profiles, so if they choose not to learn ... *shrug.I'd be curious to know what kind of mistakes women make in their profiles, or when contacting men on this site. Anyone got any examples?

Well I do not know how they go but lets face if if you had a profile that said Hairy woman, with bad breath. Likes to dress in a dirty shift hair in rollers is my thing with fag perched on corner of lip Armpits so pungent( here comes stalky) Eat with my mouth open and wipe my mouth with the back of my hand Fart when you start poking me to hard, but do not worry my farts smell like crushed rose petals Yep I wear stockings, you know the ones rolling down like nana wears with lots of holes for artistic effect A great massive bush so much hair you will not have to use dental floss again my pubs are natures own dental floss. I want to stay over, and snore like a drunken sailor and wake up in the morning and hunt around for my teeth that I fling to the floor before I blow you. My boys Ervin, bubba, and Brandon wound be glad to call you daddy as they are tired of me calling them Daddy, when I drink to much blue duck and they remind me off their daddy’s I would do threesomes but after that I cant add up so just write a number on your chest like in a marathon before you pound into me and when I cum I can just call your number Ok guys how many takers do we have?

How well written the profile is, some men are going to miss out anyway. I dont like to think of the person behind the profile failing at all Mikeandshel. That sounds like you are callously calling some a failure. Not very nice at all. Not everybody can be completely at ease behind a computer, not everybody can be comfortable talking (or rather...selling) themselves. We are not all marketing gurus now are we? Not everybody is naturally outgoing and verbose. Some are shy by nature and that may be why they are here. How do you really know what a person is like until you actually exchange a word or two? Just because thier profile is a little skimpy does not mean they are lazy. They may just be a little unsure. It is fine for the couples to critisize. Afer all, they have each other, they are not really interested in anything more than just lusty fun. This site is thier candy store so they spend a lot of time choosing and are not interested if someone does not tick all thier boxes. I do understand that a profile is the initial point of contact and if it does not spark any interest then the answer is going to be "no" It may well do for some to keep in mind though that people are not infallible. Many a great profile was written by a person that is lying through thier teeth.

the OP put up the topic as "WHY PROFILES FAIL"...........so we were just continuing in their line..... some profiles absolutely do not fail.....they are wonderfully worded, have sensationally thought out and presented pics.....and look like the absolute epitomy of what we are looking for....... but unfortunatley the person/s who posted the profile in the first place, dont , or arent able to follow through and actually deliver what was offered up or described in the first place. whether this happens at the chat stage, or the further exchange of pics, or even the face to face meet is immaterial.... they fail, at whatever point for whatever reason. we've encountered men and indeed couples through this site and others, who looked like the real deal, and appeared to perfectly fit what we seek.... but they, end up being so unlike what they portrayed themselves as, that its almost funny how big the margin of error was. men promote themsleves as single and available.....but end up married and only free on a tuesday arvo at 2....couples promote themselves as personable and social, but he ends up being demanding and jealous, or smokers when they said they were not.............all of us can say what we like on our profiles, and dress them up in whatever way we see fit, but unless the content...both wording and pictorial, matches the actual person or couple..... then which of the two is the failure? there is no gurantee that what you see is actually what you get.....which is what we meant in the first place....so....profiles sometimes dont fail at all.....but the people do... 'honesty' is whats missing from profiles...'imagination' is obviously not enough to cut it every time...........

I agree that people cannot sell themselves , just look at job resumes. Some shockers out there. People are not even aware that its costing them the job or in this case the sex they would like. I have met some great guys with crap profiles. I would not have bothered with them via their profile. However with my work I get to meet them under different circumstances and once I talk to them and get to find out what their good points are then I put it in the profile Not unlike my job in recruitment. Both points of view are valid some people lack the skills and the confidence to write up the perfect profile others are lazy many are just playing around having a bit of a laugh on here and have no intention of actually doing anything. But in the end if they want to meet someone and not getting anywhere then a profile/resume update is needed at times.

I agree some men and women express their insecurities in ways that are unhelpful, that is with lies. But it's not restricted to RHP. Speed dating, rsvp, even introductions from friends all seem to have the same strike rate of lies. But in my experience, they're outweighed by those who are enlightened... All we can do for the insecure is feel a little sorry for them, perhaps tell them their best chance of meeting the person that is their true destiny is by being honest, and leaving a little to the imagination. It's a wonderful life here in Oz, and on the whole I've found most people to be fascinating and loveable...

I think it's fair to say that you could look at a lot of profiles before you are mentally stimuated. Angelic : - in my opinion there are 3 main 'mistakes' that women make in their profiles. 1. Generic comments and a lack of any real effort or creativity:- ... ie " I'm laid back" ...(WTF your not up tight? I always look for up tight psycos)..... " I like to have fun" .....(Recent surveys suggest that 9/10 people like to have fun... the other guy was not willing to comment due to an ongoing investigation!) 2. Too much information:- ... ie A large self indulgent ramble about "who and what YOU need to be" to make the grade 3. The once bitten profile:- This is the crazed ANGRY baggage rant, frequently written immediately after a bitter bust up with a FWB or a partner. They list the 98 things they don't want, however they fail to include anything remotely positive that they may be attracted to. If I was a more creative writer I would offer to pimp out my pimping services to those in need. Bye for now ... A.Bumps - Concerned forum visitor

mikeandshelWe were highlighting why profiles fail in presentation not questioning the persons honesty, reliability or actual prowess in swinging. I'm sure we speaka da gooda englanda. Just suggesting how guys and some couples they can get past the "Automatic Delete and Block" Not how to make a woman come ten times in an hour or make small talk at a dinner table.

Your post has been, in general, very informative and has given me a deal to think about, albeit re-presenting positive suggestions and/or constructive criticisms that appear elsewhere. I guess some of us are either just too stupid to learn or too lazy to bother going back to re-hash our profile.One thing you mentioned jumped out and grabbed my attention as if it was on a neon sign and has given me a great deal of concern however. I hope someone can give me an answer to the question that has me on the verge of being a nervous wreck.What on earth is wrong with wearing brown shoes with a black belt?

I don't think it is appropriate to ask my teenage sons to take photographs of me to use a RHP profile pictures and it is very difficult to take good quality photographs of myself.I certainly could use your help in getting better photographs. Should I bring a 20 or 36 roll of film? Or should I bring more than one roll of film? Is Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon better for you? Right after lunch or later in the day?

I agree with a lot of what Jennie has said, but there are some things I'd like to touch on.The thing about RHP being a nightclub is that unlike a packed club we can't see the pickup attempts and reactions, so guys can continue to spam women with the same tactics without being noticed by other people, and so don't feel bad, get slapped, or shunned for messaging "Hey babe, wanna root? Look at my P-dude pics" as you would in public. There's not much that can be said to help guys with this mindset as it's a change they need to find themselves, and a few will nag and act desperate because it's sadly worked for them in the past.The photo thing is also really good advice. Clean your bathroom - it reflects upon your grooming skills and general effort, and please please please include a clear picture of the guy if you're a couple. I always take a face pic in the bathroom so I can show myself as I am, so I disagree with this point. I want people to get a clear view of my face so they know exactly what they're getting. Anything older than 3 months or after a physical change should be swapped with recent pics. Face pics with sunglasses aren't really helpful, and I hate the dreaded kissy face people sometimes pull when posing. Always fill in as much as possible in your profile stats - "ask me" will usually be taken in the worst way possible, or implies you're hiding something or not comfortable with yourself. It's a big turn off. We all have our own problems so if it is something that can't be summed up with a yes or no talk about it in your profile, whether you explain your situation or tell people you'd rather not talk about it. Either way it has been addressed.

Well said Jennie! I've only been on here for a few weeks and agree with a lot that you said. Received a kiss this morning from a guy who was able to make five spelling errors in his first sentence. Spellcheck people! And please skip words like da, cuz, sumting etc. If your profile is hard to read I think a lot of us won't bother. I agree "Ask me" is not smart. When a girl gets 30 kisses a day, why pick that profile over the ones that give you all the info you need right there? If you are unwilling to state your height or ethnicity in you profile I will assume you have some kind of issue with who you are. In bathroom pictures I will look at the bathroom more than the person sometimes. So please clean it up a bit and hide that big bottle of anal lube. Penis pictures all look the same after a while, face pics please! And please know that if you state "Sometimes" or "If required" under the safe safe sex tab I see it as a major flag. The great profiles are thought out, detailed and save the anatomy shots for the private galleries.

Thanks, TassieHunter for bumping it up. Jennie, great post. Very insightful. Fuck! I miss Stalky and Professor Midnight (well, that's what I used to call him) and reading the other contributions, ...well, ...some people never change. (hehehehe).

however I gotta say that I've done most of what you said yet still fail, spelling, grammar, being nice, introducing yourself, just isn't enough. It's that people here are very picky (and i don't blame them) and there's a plethora of guys to choose from which makes it hard for us guys to get noticed through the search.
