Hey.
I was hoping I could get some help on here to get more replys and more views.
If I could get some help and advice on how to improve my profile and what opening messages work well that would be great.
Thank you.
J. |

Hi op
I like your profile text
Maybe you could add some more pics of you though.
Not something you can change, but your age will go against you, as many people will have children your age or older.
You're verified already which is a good start too, good luck. |

Your profile is fine.
It’s the reality that no one wants to hear - there are more women than men on this site so the odds are not in your favour regardless of what you do.
You can either persevere exactly as you are, as altering your profile/messages based on others’ advice will only attract people who are not genuinely suited for you.
Or you can leave and try to meet people through other channels if you aren’t happy with the likelihood of response on here.
No offence intended, just being brutally honest with some years of experience in this scene and on this site. |

My personal experience is not many actually read the profile. I believe it’s the photos that attracts so many to message.
I would use the forums. Respond to treads that interest you and others will check you out.
We always seem to receive messages and winks after leaving comments on the forum threads.
Your profile is honest, which is good in my opinion. Many say straight when they are bi and vice versa.
Good luck, I hope you find what you’re looking for  |

Thank you for your honesty and help. I really appreciate it. I've had a look for other sites and many of them look like scams. If you have any recommendations I'll be glad to check them out. |

You do realise that most women and couples view in  mode, so you'll never know who or how many have actually looked at your profile.
I also love this assumption that making changes to ones profile will result in more views.
Think about it, nobody is going to actually see what you have on your profile unless they look at it - so what exactly do you think changing anything on it will achieve in terms of getting more views? |

He’s a young lad asking for advice. I don’t think your input is helpful. |

Get what you are saying but not technically true. Yes changing the profile text won't help get views but changing other aspects of the profile might as people search against specific interests and just uploading a new picture regularly might lead to profile views as it will show on local updates.
OP fwiw I don't think your profile is too bad and you've already got a meet veri so with patience sure you will do fine.

Yep, you can pretty much cook a bacon butty in a few seconds haha! Most engines also have a small shelf so you can boil some tea at the same time! |

Maybe it's how I've worded it. I wasn't trying to be unhelpful.
It's based on an observation from a number of similar threads where there seems to be an impression, among some, that profile views = interest and that making changes will generate more views - and this is from exactly the same viewpoint as to why many women and couples browse in stealth mode as they've found the majority of men whose profiles they check out, then message them with 'I saw you looked at my profile...'
I wasn't trying to be difficult, just trying to provide food for thought, that was all.
I'm very sorry if you don't like other people contributing on an open forum |
