I think it's a good profile. It says what you're looking for, it says what you don't want, it's nicely written. It's polite, there's no denigration of others that have different tastes.
You don't have any of the silly Sydney university or Facebook disclaimers.
You've got very nice photos (love the mauve and pink bra on the first few!), they show enough to let people appreciate who you are, without going into explicit detail (obviously I've only seen your public pics but that's fine, you may or may not choose to show more in your friends only pics, but then they are intended for those who you have built up some rapport with).
A woman looking for women and couples is one of the more difficult dynamics on fab, but I hope that you do manage to find some compatible folk. Best wishes, Polly xx |

For what it’s worth, it looks good. Maybe a little too much personal information (where you live), but it there’s nothing glaringly wrong. Like the other comment, maybe you’re aiming at a smaller audience than some. |

“My name is Roxy I live in Taunton Somerset. This is my sixth Time trying to make a decent profile.
I am a 28-year-old woman I live in Taunton Somerset near the train station.
I live on my own in my apartment.”
This is repetitive and far too much personal information it would be enough with the first line. I would take of your Skype details too |

Personally I'm not a fan of profiles that come across as negative or aggressive.
Fine to state your preferences though I prefer to see this weighted to what you do like rather than a list of what you don't - that comes across to me as a very negative personality. You start off with a general description of what you're looking for which is great though.
You have lots of 'block me' statements and while I'm sure it wasn't intended that way, I find profiles that tell me how to react quite aggressive. You're free to react to me any way you want and likewise with I don't need telling how to react to you?

the reason why is because when I ask for people to block me they say they don’t want to and it’s a free country, and when I do the blocking I get a load of hate.... |

And obviously I will tell the person I am talking to about what I like and dislike, it just makes it easier because as everyone says on here everyone is different |

From the responses you are giving to people's suggestions here it doesn't seem as if you actually want the advice you've asked for, as you don't appear to be taking any of the comments on board?
However, I'd remove the more personal details and also the part where you tell people to block you. If you block them and they comment about it on the forum then they're doing it against the rules. |

That should get them a ban.
I'm not sure why you want people to block you though? We all have our own reasons for blocking people and it's totally up to you if you do so and you certainly don't deserve hate for it. For us though we block for specific behavoirs (dick pics and repeat messaging after being declined mostly) I certainly wouldn't go looking for the block button after checking through a list of criteria I need to fulfil - tbh if I had stumbled across your profile I would have got to about the third "don't" statement and hit the back button.
I feel bad being this blunt but you have asked for constructive feedback. I'm not telling you that your profile shouldn't read the war it does or that your reasons for writing it are not valid. I can only give my opinion on how I would feel reading it.

Honestly me telling people to block me is more for the people that complain about me blocking them, and it’s not so much when I ask it’s when I’m having a conversation with someone and you can tell they are not interested so that’s when I ask them to block me and they are like no why can’t you do it |

Yes I would, then you can remove it from your main text. I’d also remove ‘I live alone’ that’s a huge red flag for me and a safety issue Unfortunately the web, and here has some unscrupulous individuals |

If you're sick of writing your location then simply stop doing so. The only people who need to know more than "Taunton" are those who you have had a social with and intend to invite into your home. For everyone else it's simply none of their business. Taunton isn't a big place, you've told them you live near the train station and live alone. That coupled with your pics makes you very easy to find which is a safety issue. Anyone asking where in Taunton you live is someone to be very wary of. In many years on Fab between us we have never been asked for an address and very very rarely what part of town we are in by anyone other than those we're planning to meet.
I may be wrong but it feels like you have been very trusting with people and friendly in your chats and getting shit for it. Your boundaries will be more effective if you apply them rather than tell people what they are. If you block someone and they whinge just ignore them. You can block all single males from being able to message you and even wink at you in your profile settings. If you don't want to do something then just don't, no need to announce it first.
Good luck OP, hope you find what you want.
Mr

Ok, Nice pics - very clear Op.
If I were you:-
1. I'd take out where you live bit. To avoid perhaps being pestered either shopping or doing your da-to-day things where you live. Save it for people you click with - tell them once you feel you can trust them?
2. Don't give someone an excuse to block you! I would put rather: "if you do not read my profile properly and you message me - I will block you!" Something like that perhaps? I've seen other female profiles that state that....!
3. "Message me to find out" bit I would put that next to or below "if I wink you it means I like you! "Message me....etc.
4. Where you put "message me to find out" - perhaps StraponVille? PeggingLane? MaskUponMe? Get creative....
5. Look at other peoples suggestions - good advice!
6. Don't take crap off any one on a forum/messaging you! Report/block - you have advice on that.
7. I like what you put! Not my thing.... You don't have much to change by the way though. A tweak here & there! I'm always changing mine on mood, whim etc.
I hope you get to tick all the boxes on your bucket list OP. Have fun!  |

Hello. For me your profile text is a bit abrasive and it’s not fun. The blunt, repetitive statements would put me off. Your pics are nice, you look hot. I can’t tell what your profile pic is though, whatever it is isn’t clear in the thumbnail image. |
