  1. 1. When viewing pictures in profiles I/we would like to see:

    • 27 nude 8x10 nude pics with arrows and a paragraph on the back and any flaws hilighted, and graphed
      13
    • A simple nude picture just so we can tell you don't look like a cyclone hit you.
      90
    • A fully clothed pic is good enough for us. We'll take our chances from there.
      148
    • No PICS at all. Surprise us, we love blind dates, its like Christmas everytime.

We were just wondering what type of pictures would most people be interested in seeing in another couples profile. Since we are not on any website as of yet and have no profile we are trying to get a feel for what people look for.

 

We assume that a nice G-rated couples full body picture with the faces slightly blocked on the profile page would be a good idea. As for private pictures, we would tend to think that G-rated pictures with faces unblocked would be standard. Also, do most people want to see nude or semi nude pictures (faces blocked without question) of the couple they are contacting.

 

We must say that it really wouldn't be much of an issue for us, but we can understand how some people might be disappointed when you finally meet a couple and they find out that your shortcomings were not readily apparent in your fully clothed pictures, or that all your parts aren't actually where they used to be 20 years ago or that you may have to explain, "No, really.... I am naked and these aren't mohair pajamas that I'm wearing."

 

I guess what we are asking is, do people want to know exactly what they are getting or are a few surprises OK and expected.

 

I guess as far as we're concerned, as long as we are attracted to a couples personality and we think they are attractive fully clothed, anything going on underneath really isn't that much of an issue.

 

Any Thoughts?

We are still really new but here is our take. Pics faces blocked or unblocked on the profile is a big help. We tend to eliminate profiles with no pics when we search. When you contact, yes send a face shot. That is one of the first things we ask for when replying to an email. Oh make sure it is both of you. As a couple it is so annoying to see only pics of the gals. Our thought is " wife is doing the husband not her". LOL SLS is real nice as you can put in private pics that can be either unblocked at your discretion or sent with your email. As for nudes, I cant say that I will complain, although she sometimes will. Really for us it is not so important, but if there is something unusual nudes might be nice to have. We did a nude shot with fake fruit covering the essentials. It gives a good idea and is a bit humorous. Just our take.

 

P.S. We prefer smiling people. They just look more fun.

We prefer nice pics that show your body type well. Women can do alot more than men. On our profile we have numerous pics (I need to take some off lol). The most important thing to us are pics that show your frame and body type. As far as face pics, some have them in publics some don't. We didn't for the longest time until recently. Now we have face pics in our public pics. Date stamps we do appreciate because it helps us know that the pics are current...some people are very deceptive in regards to pics. Just last night I sent our friends an email for Tgiving...they have old pics and new ones in their profile. In the newer ones the wife is at least 60 pounds heavier than she is in the older pics...they have the thinner pics as their default picture. To me thats absolutely deceptive and wrong. Nude pics are nice and we have them on our profile, but we stay away from explicit.

Well, we have a combination, and will be taking new pics next weekend. But they are carefully cropped and edited. I did have a clear face shot of me up until all the "outed" threads here. Spooked me and I deleted it. As for nudes, no problem, I have one posted here in my profile. Kinda funny, I don't post pics with my genitalia showing, but I do look for that in profiles because if the guy is smaller than my thumb I skip the profile because I want L to be satisfied and our meets with couples who the guy is incapable of performing didn't go to well.

we have a public pic that is discrete, our private photos are clearly us together, with a couple of each of us separate. you can tell its the same people from the ones of us together. no naked photos but what we feel are sexual. currently we have recalled them for some editing but they will be the same photos when we put them back up. we didn't realize the dates were not set on our camera on a few of them:o.

 

honestly though, we just need a clear pic.from others so we can recognize each other if we should meet. we use sls, and they have a no copy feature that seems secure enough for us:cool:.

Basically, it's your resume, your words and pics are going to influence the type of folks you attract. No matter what you do, you'll attract some folks and repel others. We're comfortable assuming you have normal body parts and know how to use them.

 

The purpose of our profile is to catch the attention of folks we'd like to meet. We have only one pic, it's current and clearly shows our faces. A few emails and the initial meet serve as additional filters...

 

We like to see clear face pics of the other couple before our initial meet - that way we have a way of recognizing them too. Creative or artistic pics really catch our attention.

I like to see sexy, non reveling pics on the public section. A good idea of what you are looking at. More so I like to see the man in the profile. Too often the men are under represented or not there at all.:nono:

Check out our sls site. We get plenty of hits, so I think it is pretty good.

There are alot of great profiles from the people around here, check them out to get an idea.

We are playtoys69 on SLS or follow the link under my avatar.

Your friend,

We like face pics. We have plenty of those posted in our profile.

 

I agree with PL...many times there are no pics of the men on the profiles. On one hand, if the wife is totally into taking pics in sexy undies and what not...ok. But sheesh, let us see what the guy looks like too...some profiles give me the impression that they are trying to pimp the wife out. I mean, you have 100 pics...and they are all of her? huh?

 

We do have more explicit pictures that we are willing to share, but most of them have not been approved when I try to post them on SLS...so they very seldom get shared.

 

We usually update pics every couple of months.

Please be warned that just because you can't right-click and save an image does not mean that it can't be copied. Just hit ALT-PrtSc and copy the whole window. Then you can crop to the image in any image editor and save. We use G-rated face pictures to avoid potential problems.

 

Cheers.

We only open profiles with pictures. Good pictures that show your general body type as public pics and good face pics that you can show us in your private pics is a minimum. Tasteful nudes are fine and sometimes may influence our decision but are not essential for us to meet.

I suppose someone could do that, and I see your point, straight face pics are great for us should we meet. But honestly we just aren't that afraid of someone copying our pics. there are always the looky loo's and the masturbaters I suppose but like I say, they are sexual but not x-rated. We don't have pics of other playmates in them as well, so as long as someone doesn't try to use it against my political campaign (as world leader :lol:) were comfortable with what we show.

We are much more readily drawn to a profile that has at least one picture showing both people together -- full-length, full face or discreetly-covered faces. We have never been disappointed by what we found when we first had a chance to "unwrap" someone.

I agree. We have found that most people look better than their pics. I do appreciate body pics that show general info about a person's body type. This is what we try and put on ours, this way a couple has the ability to decide (well, as well as you can decide from a picture) whether or not we are a couple they would be interested in. Yes, we have many, many more of me (I love panties; we call me a panty whore LOL) than Jay; but we do have lots of Jay on there as well. Again, I do appreciate date stamps, although I suppose you can manipulate that like everything else LOL.

I guess you are always a lot tougher on your own appearance and we were just trying to keep it light/funny when we posted this thread but it does sounds like most everyone is on the same page. Really from a lot of the threads we have read, swingers in general seem like a much more forgiving bunch.

 

As an afterthought we really would have liked to turn this into a poll with a few fun and lighthearted responses we just thought of. Is it to late to throw a poll in on this thread. We're barely computer savoy enough to get logged onto the Internet so any help would be great. Or do we need to start a new thread for the poll or do you think we should just forget it?

Thanks for the poll info Julie. Just thought adding it would be fun. Hope people have time to drop by and cast a vote.

Voted for fully clothed. To me in truth seeing a face pic before we meet is 10 times more important than nudes, because pretty much I can tell whats going on from the body pics and I know what equipment you have anyways LOL. Pretty much.

Well Shelly, maybe I'll have to send a clothed body pic just to see how accurate you can be. LMAO

Hey maybe you can start a thread where you guess just like the people at the amusement parks. You know, age, weight, and Uh Um. :lol:

We prefer G, PG, or R rated for public pics. We're okay with some nudity but it's not a prerequisite, especially in public pics. Our pics are PG body pics with no faces showing.

 

What we would like to see from the sites we are on is a public and two private photo areas where we can have public pics without faces, one private area with the same pics in full, and then maybe a private "NC17" area where nekkie pictures could be posted. This would allow us to give access to face pics after we are comfortable the person emailing us isn't a coworker or neighbor we don't want knowing about our private life.

We would like to see a private folder that only requests could be given permission to open. Our professions make it imperative that our pics aren't seen by just anyone. The Swingers Lifestyle profiles does this and perhaps a similar set up could be on the Swingers Board. Life is potentially too stressful, without freaks seeing your pic and sharing with cyberspace and community.

I'm with the majority on this one (shock, gasp!). We have full-body, G-rated pics of both of us together and separately with our faces blocked in our public gallery. Our private gallery has those same photos with the faces unblocked, plus a few more of me Pg-13 to R rated.

 

I never thought of the date-stamp thing, but don't see the point since that could be doctored, too. Plus, as a scrapbooker, I hate seeing them on pics.

Voted clothed, but prefer lingerie on women. Tastefully done pictures grab our attention more than nudes. Close up sex shots turn us off. Just too much info.

 

One couple contacted us who had over 30 pictures of them having sex with others. We immediately were afraid we'd be the next picture on their site, and turned them down for a meet.

Please make sure there is a picture of the male half of a couple and clothed is acceptable. We have a range of them in our profile (no face/clothed/unclothed/face etc...).

 

What we don't have is a giant lifesized picture of his piece (not a turn on for me) and shots of us playing with others. (I've got better things to do than hold the camera at that point).

Well, we only look at photos to determine whether folks are HWP. We will more disqualify potential people on their photos than consider meeting them because of their pictures. There's too many ways you can make good looking people look bad or bad looking people look good photographically. And thanks Xzxxy (or whatever those letters were) for the bit about screen capture and cropping. If you don't think ANY graphic image on a computer can be manipulated, we don't want to meet you. (Your intelligence level would be way too low for us.)

 

Come on! People are much more than their physical image. We've run into shallow people who would probably end up on the front cover of fashion magazines, but we wouldn't want to know them. One really hot looking lady came on to Rob recently, but he was just bored by her after she opened her mouth and got too familiar too soon. (Don't know what she really wanted since he didn't have his money clip out at the time. lol)

 

It's much more fun to meet people blindly with no preconceived opinions. Everyone gets a fair shake. If they're "sexy", you'll know soon enough. If not, then hopefully you can at least have a civil conversation. We've yet to meet ANYONE that we were shocked by after five years of doing this (off and on).

Unless a site has a way to only allow those who are really interested and will not share the pictures, or the site has a no copy built in, than we cannot put pictures on our personal ad. Our profession would be seriously affected if the pictures and activity were exposed. It is unfortunate that life is such but we have had a few who will "risk" getting acquainted with us. We find that if a couple or single is willing to go to a restaurant for a drink or light meal, and we can pay if necessary, it is easily to talk and really find out if the fun and chemistry is there. It just takes a little more effort.

We are willing also to send pictures of us by another e-mail address that is private for the couple.

Nah, I'm cool with this. If somebody is going to look at our pictures and determine, just on that alone, we're not hot/cool/whatever enough for them, then it sounds like the type of people we would rather not meet anyway. So it's like a self-fulfilling filter mechanism.

      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!!!

      I need some input from couples that had different SO, that you have swung with and was the method to your swinging experience different. Me and my ex swung more socially and it was more relationship thing. Now that me and K swing, we do it mostly on vacation in Mexico or Jamaica with couples we meet at the resort and it is more just sex. Tell us if your swinging has changed depending on your SO.

      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?
