I was reading an old thread questioning if it was possible to go too far in trying to reduce your flaws in order to "market" yourself. Reading this made me wonder, how far do you go to minimize your flaws? Do you shoot for the absolute best angles, photoshop your love-handles away? What do you do to make your photos as attractive as possible in order to draw the most interest?

Any flaws are going to be evident when you meet so we don't see a point in trying to put lipstick on a pig by posting glamor shots. We would much rather hear that we look better than our pics than see obvious disappointment in someone's face when we meet. We post mostly full length body shots that give an idea of our proportions and that's working pretty well.

We post flattering, but honest pics - nothing like false advertising:( We have some professional shots, but nothing photoshopped - cropped maybe to get rid of background clutter or take our faces out of public pics. With us, what you see is what you get...c'mon, if we're naked with someone, they are going to see the whole thing anyway, so what's the point of hiding in pics?

I'm too lazy to photoshop lately so we are what we are. We also need to do new photos, cause right now they are what we were two years ago. Both the wife and I are not "picture" people and it always seems a chore.

 

We do have one picture up from Nov. We met a couple and we told them when the picture was taken. Apparently we didn't look like our picture from Nov (It was December) though I didn't catch it until they never mailed us back after meeting, he said "So that picture was from November?", at the time I didn't know they had mentally bonged us.

We often do minor photoshop work to cleanup the color and contrast imbalances and some cropping, but that is about it. The intent is to make the photos look as close to the real thing as possible.

Not concerned with my body looking bad in pictures. I'll harden things up downstairs and like most people suck in the stomach a bit.

I take horrible pics! I don't look like me, even my mother says so. If never photo shop my own face....how self indulgent :banghead: lol but I try and only post face pics taken from a good camera.

Flattering clothing, angles, and lighting. But no photo-shop. She plays to her strengths, boobs and butt but downplays the belly. Same with him, broad chest and strong shoulders, less spare tire. If you can't tell we have a few extra pounds, either you are not too bright or in denial. Hopefully between our pics and what we have to say, people will be interested.

 

After all, the pics are just get your attention. They can't do it all.

We pick what we think are the best photos, but most of them are just regular pictures that we think just turned our extra good, like "hey, we need to put that one on our profile!" Other than maybe some cropping, we don't do any image editing at all. What you see is what you get :)

When we had an online profile, we had one session of taking photographs especially for that. All black & white just because we like that style. No recognizable background or faces. But we didn't hide any flaws (which of course only I have since MsD is flawless IMHO).

Truth in advertizing...at some point you will meet and if you don't look like the pictures it will become...awkward. Be who you are, not who you would like to be.

If you're going to use Photoshop, start by removing the dirty clothes that are in the floor and the stack of dirty dishes from the counter.

 

The background, it's important too. :)

We don't use Photoshop and have had a few compliments that we should get better pictures of us because they don't do us justice. I'd rather have that type of compliment than have couples feel like we are false advertising in our photos.

Omg! Yes! This!!!

 

A HUGE petpeeve of mine. One of my favorite pics of myself, we accidentally got a diaper sitting.on the edge of the bed in the pic. That's the only thing out of place and even that drives me insane. I HATE seeing pics with a messy room all in the background.

My husband is an ametuer videographer, he can't not do these things to a picture. He never changes me. Leaves stretch marks and fat rolls... I have too many flaws to be easily fixed even by photoshop. Lol But he doesn't even try. That isn't the point. He just wants the picture itself to be good quality. Although i did have him remove a zit... once. I admit. :( lol

      Hello!
       
      We've been purusing ads looking for a single male as of late. We've found that in many cases men will state in their ads that they are "very open minded" or "very kinky" or even "open to new experiences".
       
      For the most part, these men are simply bisexual or bi curious and we're now wondering if there are secret code words and hidden meanings behind other adverts we've come across. Is it common here to use phrases like "very open minded" to indicate that one is bisexual? What other phrases should we key in to?

      Ok BE 100% honest people, How many times did you write, delete, rewrite, change, delete and add the HEADLINE and/or DESCRIPTION of your PROFILES. I know there is some bright, word savy, super confident in how they describe themselves individuals and I envy and admire that about you. But for some of us, at least us, it was kinda hard. I mean how do you sum up who you and your mate are as individuals, your sex life, your expectations and try not to sound creepy ALL AT THE SAME TIME?!?!?!? THEN DO IT IN A FEW WORDS ON THE HEADLINE TO ATTRACT PEOPLE!!! LOL
       
      I'm glad to announce ours ended up being LETS HAVE A BLAST. smh I just said fuck it, I know sexually we can hang with the best of them and that we're good down to earth people so LETS HAVE A BLAST it is. To all that went thru our dilemma, cheers! Hope we get contacted, if not we'll be right back trying to come up with some catchy 5 word phrase that says WE WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU BUT I NEED YOU TO WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH US TO SO HERE IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF WHO WE ARE AND I HOPE IT WORKS! To those who didn't stress, NO sex for you tonight because your headline probably scored you and your partner some bomb ass swinging nights! But we still love you!!!!
       
      Well thanks for reading, we hope our humor tickled you a bit and feel free to share your thoughts!!!

      It was a fairly typical night at D.J.s Island, an early autumn evening. Mary and I hadn’t set anything up in advance, we’d decided to go almost at the last moment. From the second we entered the door our radar was beaming across the club, searching for a couple that might be searching for what we were also interested in - an enjoyable tryst.
       
      Mary took a few minutes to change into what she called a ‘trolling outfit.’ As I remember, that night it was a black babydoll with a loose bodice, thong, low heels. Many men admired her legs as I checked the forty or so women, many as scantily clad as my wife. None of our regular playmates seemed to be in attendance that evening, but we had our customs, we weren’t concerned. Perhaps an hour and a half later, I sat at a table next to the dance floor, Mary was on her feet, on the parquet, moving her body, seeing if anyone would move in. A slow sequence of men approached her, danced with her. Some would take liberties such as moving their hands under her garment, feeling the small of her back, perhaps place their palm on the roundness of her ass.
       
      I’d seen this many times before, I waited for one of two reactions.
       
      The first was that she’d spin away from the man; it signified she wasn’t interested in what he had to offer.
       
      The second was that she’d get closer, I’d watch her whisper in his ear. I knew the question, “Where’s your wife?” Some of them would shake their heads, they were attending as one of the few single men the club allowed, and when they received Mary’s response, they’d move away - that’s not what we were looking for at the moment.
       
      But the man might indicate where his wife was dancing a few feet away. When this kind of thing happened, Mary would glance to me and give our special signal - she’d put one hand on the back of her head, one on her stomach. When I got the cue, I’d come out, we’d dance as a foursome.
       
      As I approached, a man grasped the elbow of a tall attractive lady who was more modestly dressed, at least for the club. There was no conversation on the dance floor, the heavy volume of music and the thumping of the bass wouldn’t allow for speech. But I could tell the woman was interested in me, the four of us paired off and I often found myself facing this vixen. It was obvious they were as interested in us as I was in them, I could tell by the way Mary was rubbing against the man that she felt the same.
       
      After a couple of songs, Mary led the way off the floor, holding his hand, leading us off into a corner away from the speakers. As we sat, the man said, “I’m Ed, this is my wife, Marilyn.”
       
      Marilyn and I softly shook hands, I believe she raised the hem of her skirt to give me a view of her upper thighs. Ed had no problem seeing Mary’s legs, or where they met - she was sitting so that the babydoll was gathered to her side, leaning forward so her globes were exposed to his view.
       
      “Do you come here often?” Ed asked.
       
      “Every few weeks,” I responded, “you?”
       
      “This is our first time here.” Mary gave him a look that asked for further info. “We’re just starting this,” he admitted.
       
      Marilyn picked it up. “We’ve only had one time with a couple of friends. We liked it, heard about this place, decided to see if we could get into more trouble.”
       
      “Trouble’s our middle name,” I joked.
       
      Our conversation continued, where do you live, what movies have you seen lately, etc. It was a screen, of course, we were all calculating if the four of us would be pleasurable bedmates. I paid my attention to Marilyn, my wife had told me numerous times not to worry about her, she can take care of herself. My hand found Marilyn’s knee, she smiled at me, encouraged me to reach a tad higher. We bent towards each other, our mouths met.
       
      Marilyn opened her lips to me, the kiss was ardent, her mouth moist. She licked at my upper lip, her hand fondled the back of my neck. Our tongues clashed, promising cupidity, mimicking what I presumed our bodies might be doing in a few scant moments.
       
      We broke for a moment, Marilyn invited, “Would you guys want to go to one of the rooms?”
       
      I, of course, was all for it, but then I heard Mary. “Uh, not right now. But thanks.”
       
      We’ve always had the guideline that if one person doesn’t want to do something, she speaks for both of us. Regretfully, I pecked at Marilyn’s lips a last time, we stood, went separate ways.
       
      “You’re not upset, are you?” Mary asked me.
       
      “Of course not, not at all. You’re not in the mood?”
       
      “Oh, I’m in the mood all right, just not with Ed.”
       
      “Something wrong with him?” I asked.
       
      “I tried to get him interested,” Mary revealed, “but his kiss was a little cold, indifferent. I put my hand on his leg, he was too busy watching you and Marilyn, he never responded. My guess is that if we went into a room, he’d be watching you two, I’m not even sure he’d get hard for me.” It was a reasonable thought, it had happened to us a couple times before. “Hope you don’t mind, bet she’d have been a firecracker.”
       
      “Maybe. But you’re a firecracker too.”
       
      We headed back to the dance floor, in search of another couple.

      Where are the swinger sites for those of us that are 55 and over? We may be as they say over the hill but we sure as hell ain't under it...so come on all you older swingers, let's form a website of our own.

      i may be considered a snob but I like to see and lick a pussy that doesn't have too much hanging labia (gets in the way). I like a bigger clit, one you can suck on, mmmmm. I had an experience with another lady once that when she was aroused, her clit swelled to the point it looked like a very small cock, we rubbed pussies together and I could actually feel some penetration, it was very nice to suck.
       
      Cocks, I need them circumsized, sorry. size doesn't matter but once in awhile I love to run into a huge one.
       
      Don't get me wrong, I have had different shapes and sizes, cut and uncut, I am just saying what my preference is.
       
      Cleanliness, there have been a few people who haven't been clean and it was not nice and I left them standing.
       
      What about you all?
