Yes, as Shifted Jewel stated, change the font color.  Light colors on the white background are difficult to read.  Use a spell checker, no matter what you do, spelling ALWAYS counts. 
Think of the audience that you'd like to attract and write it for them.

Also, IMO, your profile reads like you are looking for play partners.  If that is true, then KUDOS, you've written a profile to attract play partners. 
If you are looking to serve a dominant in more of a regular position, then you'll need to specify what you can do for them.

Good luck!

look at other submissive males profiles, look at their posts, (a few suggestions.) littlesarbonn,politesub,undergroundsea, and chia (The pet.) those will (hopefully.) give some idea of how to appeal to an Lady.

  • The colour makes it hard to read.  Choose a darker shade of green.
  • The first photo makes you look like you're on drugs.  Sorry.
  • Every sentence, apart from the first, starts with ``I'' -- the profile is extremely self-centered.  What can you do for a Domme?  What personal characteristics do you have that would be appealing to a dominant woman?
  • ``I am out to find serious, real Dominants''.  The effect is to immediately cause the reader to question whether they are serious and real.  This is very aggressive and, yet, totally obvious.  How many profiles are there that say, ``I'm looking for a bald, fat old man who's pretending to be a Domme''?  Also, ``Dominants''?  You want more than one?
  • ``on occasion I, only if asked, Switch'' -- how about ``I occasionally enjoy switching and would be glad to do so, from time to time, if asked''?
  • ``I do not play internet games and only serious conciderations (sic) of me will be accepted.'' I realise that your needs and desires, even as a submissive, are important, but this is far too aggressive and demanding.  Again, it comes across as questioning the seriousness of the reader and suggesting the negative answer.
  • ``I feel I need to go beyond my limits right now.''  Say what?  What are your limits?  If you want to go beyond them, in what sense are they limits?
  • Your journal entries for 12/22, 6/15, 5/20, 5/6, 4/29, 4/28, 4/20 and 4/1/2007 each say ``I am an asshat.'' Sorry, but ranting against fakes and describing the whole site as ``pathetic'', ``the most bull on the planet'' and ``an insult to real people'' is just an insult to your reader.  I'm so sorry the Domme you approached recently was sarcastic to you but perhaps this indicates that the message you sent her wasn't quite as nice as you thought it was?  Earlier on, perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to send a two-line message to a Domme and try to follow up later with a longer one?  Dommes get inundated by short messages and often block their senders.

Your second photo is lovely

But I read your journal.  Geez you are an angry person.  You don't seem to cope well at all when you do not get exactly what you want. 

No matter how nice your email was to me, I would avoid you by a mile after reading your journal.  I suspect most the non-fake, non-pro Dommes (the kind you want to meet) would after checking out your profile and journal.

Maybe scrap the profile and start again.  Showcase what a charming, calm, loving, fun, positive, unselfish, happy submissive you can be and why any woman would be proud (not embarassed) to own you

PS:  thinking more about the name "bad boy" and your belligerent attitude (eg don't waste my time unless you are serious) are you playing the "treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen" tactic? 

At 39, does that bad boy angry attitude still work for you?

I know some women absolutely love men who play hard to get and treat them badly, but those women have low self esteem (and often mental health problems).  Its not working to attract the kind of Domme you want (is it?). 

You need to radically re-think your attitude to women.  If all you really want is a woman with "great legs" (as per your journal) to meet your constant craving for play, you should pay for the privilege.  You are not bringing anything else of value to the potential relationship, compared to your competition.

Sorry to be so harsh, but the truth is more useful in the long run to you and men like you who cannot understand why they are not meeting anyone.

No.  The whole "hollar at me" (even spelled wrong) was just atrocious.

I'll answer this one since it was in fact my email to this individual that he posted to his profile and calls "imature" (which incidentally is against CM's TOS as well as exhibiting a level of "immaturity" far beyond what he thinks he's illustrating). 

I honestly can't tell you how many emails I get from men who seem to expect that I'm not only willing to drop everything and play with complete strangers who contact me online, but that I should somehow buy into their "it's all about YOU" patter when they ask me.   My response that he posted on his journal was in reply to his random unsolicited "let's meet and play" email.

1.  If someone I don't know suddenly expresses that he wants to "serve" me, but doesn't know me and declares his desire to "serve" me before he even attempts to get to know me - I know that means he doesn't give a damn about who he plays with, but rather about his own needs, no matter how he words it.

2.  I place far too much value on my own personal safety to be meeting people online to play after exchanging one email (or even half a dozen for that matter).   Someone who expects me to do so clearly has no regard for my personal safety, nor their own, and throws up an immediate red flag  - it's a faux pas from which there is no possible recovery.  If being concerned for my own personal safety on a level that is reasonable makes me a "weirdo" - so be it.

3.  I am NOT honored by somone who makes first contact with me, then implies it's an incovenience for him to drive to me, but will if I'll play with him.    First of all, there are guys around the world who offer the exact same thing - literally a dozen a week, if not more.  Secondly, don't contact someone who isn't local to you then behave like it's inconvenient because they're not local to you.....but you'll suck it up and deal if they'll drop everything to play with you.  It's not a compliment by any means.

I do indeed engage in BDSM real time, have been for years, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to engage in it with "just anyone".  I've gone to my fair share of munches, conventions, parties, clubs, etc.  If a sub wants to meet someone who is "serious and real", then understand that meeting someone of that caliber is going to take more effort than a "hey baby let's hook up" email that's badly misspelled. 

Not surprisingly, many dommes do not appreciate being treated as if we're just here to service the horny masses on their demands - no matter how they cloak such requests.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll stand by my statement that if an individual has no interest in doing anything but pestering women to "hook up" - then he should pony up and see a prodomme. 

~~~~~~~~~~

You can fix your profile as much as you want, but I think the response you've been getting - and ranting about - has far more to do with your apparent attitude towards Dommes than anything else.   All the spellchecks and better pictures and such aren't going to help with that.

lime green is the worst color one can select when putting anything up on the web

I couldn't even look at the profile much less see that there were typos or issues with anger

To be honest, the photo kinda sucks too. Nothing about your looks or anything... I just don't care for that "I just rolled out of bed long enough to take a shitty picture" look.
