What do you LIKE to see in swingers' profile pics?

havefuninsun · 10-06-2006, 10:42 AM

I was just reading the thread about what folks DON'T like to see in pics ... messy houses, stupid looks, bad quality photo's, penis shots ... got me thinking, what do we LIKE about pics?

I emailed a couple on Swing Lifestyle because I particularly loved one of their pics. I liked it so much so we copied their idea, kinda, for a pic ourselves. Although there wasn't a "lust connection" with the other couple after we met, I still admire the quality of their pics. They did a GREAT job!

What we like to see in pics is how fit folks are. Because attraction is such a complicated thing, we're very fine not seeing face pics of folks ... if we click via chat, email, or phone, we can meet and then guage the physical attraction.

Just responded to the other thread!

We like to see a little skin but not too much.
Couples showing their personality. Do they look fun, no matter the outside appearence of them.
Anything done tastefully.

Vague but I can be more vague if need be!

Just a few quick thoughts.

I just replied to the other post saying how I like penis pics. I also like shots that leave something to the imagination. Couples pics are my favorite.

We may be in the minority, but we like G-rated pictures that say "this couple is fun and they like themselves." We also like pictures that are a little flirtatous. At the risk of sounding shallow, a penis picture is nice, too. Not to prove that the individual is particularly well hung. Actually, quite the opposite. For her, too big has proven to be a problem. And, we recognize that too little can be a real problem for some ladies, too.

I'd prefer to see a full body CLOTHED picture that includes their face. You are right attraction is an important thing, but I don't want the first thing I see to be their naked body. I think facial pictures are very important as well because you can often tell a lot about a person from a picture of their face.

ShellyM · 10-06-2006, 07:41 PM

We like pics of their bodies. I'll be honest with you, face shots are very important to me in particular. If I am not physically attracted I have a problem lol. So, for me facial shots are imperative. Body shots aren't that important to me personally, because I go for different body types. Other than that I like nice quality pics.

Mr. Truelove · 10-06-2006, 07:45 PM

Smiles. You have to be smiling. Smirks like intuitions are very nice too.

Clean clothes, clean background...Clean people.

Couples together. Black squares & Blurry spots... j/k

There is ONE simple thing I like to see in a couple's pictures......

A HOT GUY!!!!!!

My wife is soooo picky when it comes to men, that literally 48 out of 50 couples are typically discounted, both in clubs and online.

Out of 50 couples in our age-range, she will be interested in about 43 women.

...but about two men.

So, all this to say, I don't care if he's clothed or naked, boxers or no boxers, smiling or looking serious... PLEASE God... just let him be gorgeous!

(And, of course, nice teeth!

)

LOL!! When I read this I raised my hand and said "guilty as charged!" I can't help being picky, but I have to admit that I am lol. So, tell your wife that she is not alone.

What I LIKE to see in pics:

#1 fave - friendly, smiling faces, people enjoying some activity (boating, hiking, on a beach, cooking in the kitchen, etc)...having fun. (Of course, most of us cannot show these clear, smiling pictures publicly, but hubby and I share plenty of clear face and full-length pics in our private albums. We share those liberally once we connect with an initial pic or two and email.)

I don't mind seeing nudity, at all. I love the human body. I think it shows a lot of a person's personality, how much and just what they show of themselves in photos. I like photos that are sexy and somewhat suggestive....in lingerie, in a shirt but off a shoulder, etc. If a couple has nude photos, I like them tasteful. I don't want to see close-cropped pics of "parts": nipples, pussies, cocks (and we all know what I think of sphincters). :rollseyes But, if it's a posed or candid full-length nude, maybe framed in the light of a window or other "artful" type, that is beautiful. In this type of photo, I don't mind at all seeing their parts, because the whole person is featured, and there's a "mood" to the pic. Pepper's photo of her back full-length is beautiful (great example). G-rated are fine, too! But, if they are dressed very conservatively, all buttoned up tight (church/office clothes and posed stiffly), it seems just a little too "stuffy" to me, for swingers.

Bottom line, after we get past the initial contact and necessarily-discreet main pic (usually faceless) on a profile, I need to see faces and overall body (clothed or not) pics of people. I don't know if I'm attracted until I see these. Beyond that, I like to see people being themselves, and being comfortable whether in clothes, scantily clad, or in their own skin.

We like to see G, PG, and R pics, preferably the two of them together or at least an equal ratio of both of them.

As a male, I agree. In fact, you summed up my single most important "like".

I agree 100% with you. Now, our smiling pics are in our privates though. Due to the fact of discretion we do like to at least get an email from someone before we open up our private pics. But yeah, I do hate just certain body parts...although, admittedly I do not let Jay take pics of my bare stomach lol, because I just can't go there yet. I did take a pic last night of it for my own inspection lol, and she is coming along nicely.
