Lovinher, since you two are a couple looking for…um…whatever you are looking for, your motivations and expectations are likely different from mine. Regardless, here are some suggestions.

Search SLS – or other sites – and find profiles that appeal to BOTH of you. Look at the pictures and evaluate the text. Some things you will like and some Lovinhim will like. Select what you two agree on – both pictures and words – and use that information for how you present yourselves to others on SLS. Your profile might be lengthy and overly-descriptive or it might be short and sharp. Regardless, look at what others have done and design your profile for what fits you two. And if you see some clever photos on other’s profiles, don’t be afraid to try to replicate them or tweak them to suit your own interests and strengths/weaknesses.

Pics of the two of you with faces blanked out should be perfectly acceptable for open photos, but try to use pics that are relaxed and indicative of the lifestyle (aside from THE lifestyle) you two lead. Photos of you two at a party, at a family gathering, enjoying yourselves at your pastimes, etc., will most likely be more interesting to prospective playmates than overly-posed photos.

Take a look at this thread: Couples Profile Reviews . On this thread folks on the board evaluate the profiles of other SLS members. You might find some good advice on the thread and once you design an SLS profile you could have it critiqued here, too.

And you should take this advice with a bushel of salt, of course. I haven’t established MY SLS profile yet.

Good luck,
Thrax
P.S. Do you two need a photographer? I don't have much experience, but I'm comfortable with taking “those” kind of pics.
