We all go through the ing process of “Time Wasters” and/or even those “Newbies” who join this site as a matter of curiosity if they do not yet feel ready to swing, but those who have been in this site for a while and who take good care of their profile, improving it as best as they can, choosing the right message to come across to most and with the selection of their best possible pictures to make their profile stand out, should they not be gratified rather than looked down?

It depends on how they project themselves IMHO.

Being able to have a bit of fun and a laugh certainly helps.

Self depreciation/mocking is a likable personality trait IMHO, and I like peeps who come across as humble rather endearing.

Respect for the others even when their _iews and opinions are very different to our own is also a commendable personality trait.

IMHO, everyone should be proud and brave enough to hold one's court without the need to lower one's standards in order to be part of a collective.

If you are yourself and you are honest I find the 'profile', in itself, unimportant.A couple of swapped messages will tell you more than any profile...a phonecall will tell you more than a thousand messages.

People will always find other, with whom, they are compatible!

Humility is the most important for me on here. It is very, very easy to start to believe your own hype and then expect everyone to adore you. Then when someone says no... all hell is let loose.

Many get swamped with messages for no other reason than a phyiscal attribute they may have.. and the second you start to forget that, the start of the rocky road down...

not pointed at anyone in particular.

Interesting concept, being beautiful inside out makes sex much more pleasurable and develops a long lasting friendship, but of course the eye wants to be hindered in a sexual site like this!

Legs are often in the way, what’s important what lay in between them… “n shake it all about”

not always.... it goes back to impressions... for example if you come on here giving it the big "i am" and just generally being an arse then i think for a lot of people that impression tends to stick....

if you had ideas of yourself that are in peoples eyes "overinflated" than I think people will carry that impression....

so gratified in what sense..... you are owed nothing and people here don't know you

Well what I meant is I am happy to see people taking good care of their profile aiming to reflect their personality in one way or another and as I am a person who have lots of experience yet I feel I still have a lot to learn I am continuously adapting and try to learn from those who are better than me as a way to improve myself, but at the same time I find other people who although they know absolutely everything (lucky them) they seem to gain huge enjoyment from demeaning others!

I think "demeaning" is a strong word to use.... some people just have louder ways of putting there point across...

and as for people who know everything, I don't think that is true, but lots of people carry strengths and weaknesses and _iews on lots of different subjects.....

I think that there is nothing wrong with a heated discussion as long as you are prepared to back up what you talk about....

I don't think anyone here is "better" or "worse" than anyone else.... all you can be is the best person you can be.... as long as you do that you don't have to answer to anyone....

I put quite a lot of stock in people's profiles, what and how it's written and the type of pics that are displayed, I wouldn't look down on anyones profile especially if it's a good one as that's quite a bizarre thing to do! But how would any one know what others think about their profiles anyway, that bit is puzzling me a little! Z

There has been some precedents of course for which as it was irrelevant to the topic at the time I thought to bring it back on specifically.

Why would anyone who wishes to have a say in a forum be possibly be criticised for advertising his/her profile when this is the whole idea of a each individual profile and it’s meticulously selected photos, to make each one of us stand out?

Aren’t profiles purposely created to reflect each one of our own personality which we use and exploit to attract or repulse selectively other site members?

Why should weak personalities be discouraged to have a say in the forum without the risk of being criticised for advertising what is quoted on the profile (for who wants to learn more about that person) including also the facilities that this site offers to its users?

Personally I don't look to see if people are "taking care" of their profiles, and there's certainly no one better at knowing what's good for me than me - so there's no need for me to look at other people's profile for inspiration.

That's what's happening on here for the most part, people unable or unwilling to be honest in what they want etc so it ends up with generic profiles.

The site has the tools for people to use as they see fit: if someone feels starting banal threads every few minutes will raise their profile - then good on them - what I might see as utter bollocks someone might see as a fun, cheery person.

It's not a bad thing...you use whatever works for you!

Whilst I understand what you're saying, I think some people do get a little fed up with say for example someone with a user name - great big giant knob 69 posts "do you like great big giant knobs" or "who has the biggest giant knob on Fab", or "would you rather a great big giant knob or a little one" etc.

There's advertising...and there's advertising!!

Correct, I totally agree with you. I should rephrase “taking care” in a sense of carefully creating a profile to reflect your own personality in the best possible and honest way. I did not mean to look or seek other profiles for inspirations as I respect every effort that individual people are making to emanate their own self.

On the other hand why should some people, especially those who, when they do not have a valid point to make at a topic, seek for points in your profile to demean you as if it was their only way to make themselves feel more superior? It’s a little bit like inviting someone to your home, which you carefully personalise it the way you want it, and be criticised for your choice of the decorations!!??

Whatever is posted on a forum, on a profile or anywhere for others to see will attract criticism from some...regardless of it's intention.People will always 'read' things differently and have varied opinions on the purpose of what has been written...and thank God for that I say...If we were all the same in here it would be a very boring place!

So this thread is about certain people making disparaging remarks about profiles on threads instead of having something constructive to say about said thread? Your OP doesn't really make that clear so you left yourself wide open really. In fact no one really made any negative remarks in this thread ,so your point would be what exactly?

Well done but if you do not mind I would like to encourage every first timer to have a say in the forum and help them to ignore those bullies who perhaps would be better off starting a topic themselves if they feel they have something more interesting to say…. Why don’t they?

Bloody hell, that's a tall order for you to encourage every first timer to the forums to post! Most people come on, post their comments and are pretty happy all round! Don't think that having a healthy debate is being argumentative or nasty, and I don't think I've ever seen any bullying here in about 2 years. Sometimes a poster may be taken to task over certain things they post or their demeanour may be aggressive or superior, it's just a little snapshot of life, some good some bad but in the main very good fun.

My point is if you do not have anything charming and or constructive criticism to say… in my opinion some people would be better off not say anything rather than finding faults in any possible way or form to demean the OP (not that this would affect me in any way) but it may refrain some first timers using the forum again.

there are folk that have posted on threads that have been raised similar to this and have praised the fact that someone has highlighted the point as they have, previously, been put off making comments as they've often followed threads and found the forums to be cliquey and that some of the threads have attacked the op or others that have posted on the threads...it's not that it doesn't happen, the amount of threads that are closed from such activity are testimony to that...

...can only suggest that as long as posters aren't offensive or follow the rules, don't take things too personally and respect others right to an opinion....they will pretty much avoid such activity.

if they do feel that they are being bullied in any way, then they should always report it.

If you post a thread and you get a lot of negative remarks then maybe its not the best thing to post another thread saying 'look how beastly people are'. then when you don't get the negative remarks you were expecting (mainly cos the op was ambiguous) you attempt to elicit negative remarks to prove your point. try to think of as many as you can and you can attribute them all to me if it pleases you

absolutely nothing, threads do tend to go off at tangents and the subject can totally change after just one comment. some just go around and around. there's not much the OP can do about that. they don't 'own' the thread,they just help with its conception

Half and half on this one.

You are right to some degree I have seen people who seem to have studied a profile to pick out something they can use on a post that isn't relevant to the thread or question....but I have also seen people start threads that sound like they are shocked and amazed at another member daring to block them.

If people want to start threads to be noticed that is all well and good, what is wrong with advertising yourself? But to advertise yourself in a negative or a superior way is probably not going to get a person the attention they were hoping for.

I accept that but then again if I find a topic to be boring I go to the next one, I do not find at ways to criticise the OP in any possible way? It is a fact that a boring subject should lead to a dead end soon and off you go to another topic!!!

Nope, what my Granny did in 1945 has nothing whatsover to do with this thread and that will be why I didn't post what she was up to in 1945 or any other year of her life.

But if you are really that interested, she was working on a farm with my Grandad, bringing up their family along with growing crops and rearing livestock to feed people when supplies were very low due to something call World War II.

Thanks for your interest in her and I am pleased to also inform you that she is still alive and well.

Your OP doesn't really make that clear so you left yourself wide open really. In fact no one really made any negative remarks in this thread ,so your point would be what exactly?

My point is if you do not have anything charming and or constructive criticism to say… in my opinion some people would be better off not say anything rather than finding faults in any possible way or form to demean the OP (not that this would affect me in any way) but it may refrain some first timers using the forum again.

I've read this thread with great interest and can't believe what a difference a week can make!

I will point you in the direction of the thread you started last week, where you didn't have very complimentary things to say about the Site Admin and the Site itself!

http://www.fabswingers.com/forum/lounge/40816

I think that thread might have done more damage to "first time poster's" chances of reposting than this one or any other thread has, where people give their OWN opinion on the opening topic.

The OP's might not like some of the replies in threads they have started but everyone is entitled to give their OWN opinion on it if they so wish as long as they don't break any of the site rules.

As always, just my own wee opinion.

And what about what your granny did in 1945? Has this got anything to do with the threads in topic?

absolutely nothing, threads do tend to go off at tangents and the subject can totally change after just one comment. some just go around and around. there's not much the OP can do about that. they don't 'own' the thread,they just help with its conception"

That's why I have started this one specifically! Now what's wrong with advertising yourself, including your profile, it's photos and the facilities that this site provide also in hosting a naughty party?

Nope, what my Granny did in 1945 has nothing whatsover to do with this thread and that will be why I didn't post what she was up to in 1945 or any other year of her life.

But if you are really that interested, she was working on a farm with my Grandad, bringing up their family along with growing crops and rearing livestock to feed people when supplies were very low due to something call World War II.

Thanks for your interest in her and I am pleased to also inform you that she is still alive and well. "

And I am so happy for both of you!

Not a thing if that is what you want to do.........but be prepared for people to comment on it, good or bad.

To be fair though, if your last thread was indeed an advert for yourself, it wasn't a good thread starter, as it came across as you being superior and how people dare block you( not saying that was how you meant it, but it did come across that way)

"Personally I don't look to see if people are "taking care" of their profiles, and there's certainly no one better at knowing what's good for me than me - so there's no need for me to look at other people's profile for inspiration.

That's what's happening on here for the most part, people unable or unwilling to be honest in what they want etc so it ends up with generic profiles.

The site has the tools for people to use as they see fit: if someone feels starting banal threads every few minutes will raise their profile - then good on them - what I might see as utter bollocks someone might see as a fun, cheery person.

It's not a bad thing...you use whatever works for you!"

nods in agreement, wise words

If I wanted to advertise myself I would! Do I really sound like the type of person that would be frightened to do so? Do you really think good or bad comments has an effect on me in any way? I mean what I say and if you do not understand (as English is not my mother tongue) I will explain it to you!

Now here we go again and search every possible thread I started to find other ludicrous criticisms… if I send a friend invite without having never spoken to that person before (as it was done to me) and they would kindly and I repeat “kindly” reply to me by saying thank you for the friend invite, the last thing I would do would be blocking them!!! So who is the superiors person in here? It was a comment at the time nothing more and nothing less!

As I type this, there is a line above this box "Don't promote commercial services".

In my opinion, the "naughty party" element of your profile falls the wrong side of that.

Since you asked.

Here we go again. But if this site allows you to “Organise Events” it provides you with a “Meets & Events” section for its users and there is also a CLUBS section quoting “Swingers Club Directory” what has it got to do with you?

I haven't read the other thread referred to in earlier posts, (not sure how relevant it is) but having read all of this one I think the Op has made some very good points. This thread was confusing at first, but once clarified I find myself agreeing with much of the Ops argument.

I have seen people on here scan an Ops profile and then use an 'unrelated' part of it to try and win a point in a debate, it does happen and I would be surprised if it doesn't deter some from posting in the forum.

That said, unless it's done in an offensive way then new Ops should highlight the fact and 'win' the debate with strength of argument.

This is not nursery school.

Are you jealous? Are you envious? Why can you not be genuinely happy for other people who are making well use of this site and may be do the same? Do you really think by being so spiteful you are advertising yourself in the best possible way?

It is confusing because some people in here expect you to know every single post that has been written in the forum... they are refering to a previous post "Honestly Some People!"

I will rephrase it as my comment was not made to anyone specifically!

Within minutes of my post, some photos had been reported, removed from my profile and someone had already bullied me with a superiority to say that some pictures collectors had stolen my photos!

I have not said it was you so no apologiesare necessary!

Just as a point. Reporting ANYTHING on this site is private. The person being reported will not know who reported them.

Clearly OP is big enough to get over it, but there are plenty of people reading this who will be concerned at the suggestion that he claims knowledge of the identity of any reporter.

Thanks, carry on...

I think Sharp Dressed is entitled to form this opinion, it seems a fair opinion.

To the Op...I don't understand why your feeling the need to resort to calling people 'spiteful' that cannot be justified based on the posts I've read on this thread and I suggest if you need to resort to this, your argument is flawed.

Someone did obviously I do not know who but within minutes it was done and dusted...

Have you ever tried reporting some photos yourself? I once reported s profile who were using my photos, clear face and full body and it took me two weeks to have them removed after reporting the photos every day!

Do admin not sometimes look over the forums as a matter of routine, they may have just noticed themselves. There may not have been any reporting done.

I was "that same person" who first posted the link to your last week's thread in this one! And the one who made the jokes about the pics disappearing on said thread! I still haven't ever reported you (or your pics; even although they did break the rules).

So yeah an apology is required!

There you are someone did I have not mentioned anybody in particular but it was done very fast and someone had had the chance to see the profile with and without the photos within minutes and also bullied me about it which was totally irrelevant to the thread in the forum if not to belittle me as if that was the only way to show off "his superiority"

I suspect that the OP is still smarting from the adverse critisism when they posted previously.

Unfortunately, the ambiguous nature of the current post also appears to have left them very dissatisfied with these replies too.

May I suggest a little more humour would be called for, as it really isn't a matter of life or death- unless of course it starts to affect your profit margins- then that would be a different matter.

I am not now or ever will be superior to you or any other user on here.

We all use the site as we see fit, but I do take offence at being referred to in here as "very spitefull"

I have referred to “the same person who reported me” if you have a bad conscious is not my fault as anyone can report and “spiteful” was the wrong word to use. Some photos where later put back so they were removed by mistake. You did use it as a way to make you feel superior and you also brought the link to the previous thread which although was irrelevant to this thread, makes equally the point of threatening and demeaning first timers who may wish to express themselves in the forum.

Your apologies are not required I am only making a point!

I will leave this here seeing as "as English is not my mother tongue" (yours I mean) and you maybe don't realise that you were referring to me with your posts!

Not feeling guilty here at all as it wasn't me that you reported you that time!

Happy Swinging!
