Okay, BGK. You asked for it. I've got a very long and detailed review for you, and it's going to take a lot of time, effort, and maybe a pot of coffee to get through it all. Are you ready?

Okay.

Ahem.

I SEE LONDON, I SEE FRANCE, I CAN SEE YOUR UNDERPANTS!

I hope you take this review to heart. Best of luck.

I'm afraid I have to agree. Put some damned pants on and turn on all the lights at your place; it's dark and dim and you seem to be lounging around in your undies. While you're getting some decent, well-lit pics of your clothed self, I'll move on to the rest.

Edit: Oh, I see. You were hoping to hook enough interest with your little tight panties so you wouldn't have to write a profile. Interesting gambit. Here's what you got:

I’m easy going and find I get on with most people. I’m looking for a girl who can make me smile and doesn’t take life too seriously. I like to take each day as it comes having fun along the way (rate my pants plz) lol

You're easy going. Don't take life too seriously. Take each day as it comes and have "fun." Really? That's ALL you can think of to describe yourself? There's nothing else to you but your desire for "fun" and an urgent need for trousers? Let's go on.

Putting my age on this thing makes me feel old. But I can’t change that so might as well get on with it and have some fun. errrm don’t really know what to put but I’m not on here to get my leg over with whoever shows an interest. Wouldn’t mind a chat and see where it leads.

You don't like your age. You feel old. But you still want to have "fun," YAY! You don't know what to say, but wouldn't mind a chat.

Now ask yourself: how does what I put in my profile make me seem any different from ten thousand other guys my age out there?

Are you still thinking? The answer is -- it doesn't.

Here's the Profile Writing Tips thread. I suggest you check out at least the first 5 messages on it to get some idea of what a good profile should contain. Here's the link:

I'm surprised with this short profile there was something missed by these two thorough review hounds. Funny that you talk only about wanting to have fun in life and yet every picture you posted is in your home and the captions on three out of four are "boring". Two pictures you aren't even dressed in! I don't see excitement. Why not try again and come back to us when you are ready for a real look-see.

And check out message 11 too -- SubSonicBoom got his 'How to take a 'Shirtless Guy' pic' post added there. :applause:

It applies to pants-less guys too, I would think... perhaps even moreso.

Well, actually, I wanted to mention that he should NOT put a jokey fake job for his "profession," but I didn't want to overwhelm the guy.

But OP, you really should at least state what field you make your living in. Don't play around.
