I need to some major work on my profile and have had some very helpful advice (thanks Pork) but just wondering, how long is too long for a profile, in your opinion?
I want to give enough info but also make it easy to read and not be too long to bother with. So how long is too long? |

Being a bloke I obviously have no clue about profiles but in my opinion you are pushing the max length. Anything longer and I would give up reading unless I was rolling around laughing. Saying that though, its yours, do whatever you like with it. |

It's more a laying down and bent over the furniture routine, if I get my way  |

Had a quick look, personally I thought it was way too long but hey it's up to you. I changed ours to bullet points so that it's easy to read but also says what we are looking (and not looking) for |

When it comes to length of profiles, I'm saying nothing!!
Its your profile and you can say as much or as little on it as you please. Think of it as your own corner of the Swingerverse.
Some on here complain that no one reads them anyway!

It's up to me yes, but I'm not part of my own target audience, so the opinions of others are welcome. I'm on my phone atm so can't do much editing. However, next time I get a chance to sit down with a computer, I'll do some work on it and the views of everyone here will help. |

I think a profile should be like a skirt, long enough to cover everything, but short enough to keep everybody interested |

"I thought this thread was in the lounge been looking for it.....right i would say it doesnt really matter as long as you are happy with the contents x"
I often don't know where I am!
It's evolved a lot and is getting there but needs more work yet, I think. |

Its your profile, so write whatever you like on it, for those that read profiles you will have given them something informative to read. For those that dont read profiles, imagine how quick the shag will be if they cant take a couple of minutes to read a profile |

Yes, I'm asthmatic with a particular sensitivity to tobacco smoke. Even being close to someone smelling of smoke can trigger an asthma attack. |

I think it's a reasonable profile length, and a very, very good profile. Doesn't take long to read, and any prospective partners who could be bothered to pay attention to the details are probably not going to be attentive enough as partners, so if the length s any of them out, all the better. Good luck! |

I like your profile. It is long (although mine is longer), but it states clearly what you are and are not interested in, without you coming across as being hard work. I've seen a few profiles, where you come away with the opinion that they are that exacting, they won't meet anyone. Yours is not like that.
If you were closer and I wished to meet you, I would find it very helpful.

"Looks fine to me! Clear and detailed. And you'll be able to spot who doesn't read it when all the Alsatian owning chain smokers start messaging! "
Start messaging? I've had smokers messaging since the day I unhid my profile! Nobody's mentioned whether they have pets yet though. |

"We started reading your profile, got about a third the way through and got bored.not being funny just honest.x"
That's fair enough. I'm not going to appeal to everyone, or even most people.
I'm fairly specific in what I am looking for so I'd rather be straight about that from the outset. Sure I'll still get people who haven't read the profile messaging, but if I am busy and can't reply, I feel less bad about it when they're not what I've said I am looking for. |

"Look at it and think to your self would i take the time to read all that ??"
Yes, I would. I read profiles carefully as it saves me wasting my time, or that of anyone else. |

"im a chain smoking dwarf that runs a kennel
fancy a meet ?"
LMAO, that reply was so funny it made me look at your profile. And to prove I read it, I've never been to Liberty Elite, but if you fancy meeting this single guy at Xtasia, well I'd be interested, mind you I am 3 years over your age limit.... |
