Obviously Fake Profiles

[PB&J]

Our profile just has pics of me- not because he's ugly (he isn't) but because we don't have face pics of ourselves out there - like it or not, that's our decision- and the body shots of him just aren't as cool as those of mine in my club wear. It hasn't stopped us from getting emails and keeping busy. Maybe we're missing out on a whole group of people with those criteria (we're also a free ad, and that probably means others won't look at us). But we've met some great people so far, so not a big deal for us.

Well I can understand that the female is usually the nicer body (coming from a male) but if my wife were looking at your profile shouldn't she get to see something? We have no issues with no faces or pixilated pics but give us something (anything) for her to see first.

I agree! You aren't entering a photo contest here; you are trying to make contact with potential playmates!

I'm sure it hasn't gotten in the way of contacts, but it seems unfair to me that so often the women have to make contact blind, while the men have full knowledge (or damn close to it)!

And really, since you can put up dozens of photos, what's wrong with one "uncool" photo of your husband's chest, or heck, even a body shot of him dressed? Why is that asking too much?

My thoughts exactly.

I also find it amusing that so many men have "high profile jobs". Just get on a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans, stand in front of a beige wall, snap a picture and crop out your head. Blur out any tattoos. Unless you are missing an arm or something, there is no way to identify you. But your potential female playmates will have something to go on.

As Willing29 said, if it is a couples profile and both members expect to play, then we want to see both. Asking us to jump through an extra hoop is just going to decrease the chances we will ever meet.

-whew-

Hey, folks, I'm not asking anyone who doesn't want to look at our profile to do so. As I believe I said in my original post, we've had enough responses lately to keep us happy. So you do your thing and we'll do ours.

I've actually made a fake profile...for legitimate reasons.

we had another club join our message board under a false name. and any time we had a new couple introduce themselves, or say they were going to the parties we throw, they'd make up all kinds of BS (not clean, my wife got crabs from the beds, they force newbies to have sex with the staff first, ect) and then "come to our club we don't do that sort of thing"

problem is, I couldn't figure out which one was the false name...none of the newbies would tell me. so I started a false profile, complete with shoulders-down pics of me and an ex-girlfriend (with her permission, of course), joined the message board, and posted about "coming to our first party and we're pretty nervous"

like clockwork, a few hours later, the offending club sent us an e-mail about how truly awful our club was..according to him, we were a double-wide trailer (actually a house built in the 1890's) near a swamp (near the harbor) and the fake details got worse from there.

needless to say, I bounced him and let everyone know what was going on.

I haven't really used the profile since. but I think it was legitimate way to get rid of someone like that.

Excellent work and very clever. Wouldn't begrudge you one bit of what you did.

Now that's a fake profle, way to go!!!
