A nice face pic or a picture of you with your cloths on doing some activity you enjoy...fishing, running, playing a tuba, whatever.

No naked pics, no cock/genital pics, no fetish pics, no dumb fetish cartoons.

The kind that shows you've read the FAQ, including the links such as this one: Profile Help: Hot to Attract a Dominant Woman. Particularly since your question is answered there.

Like Sophia, I also happen to like shots of people that are a personal expression. If you are an outdoors type, have a shot of yourself engaged in one of your favorite activities. These shots are great for those who want to have a clothed body shot that doesn't necessarily show your face. Vacation shots are also good. One guy that drops by My "who's viewing" list has a great shot of him building his deck.

I am a sucker for pictures of your pet or interacting with wildlife in some way. I had one guy who got My attention and actually got Me to contact him because he had a great pic of him and a dolphin.

I do happen to like pics associated with wiitwd. Particularly post S/m play shots and bondage pics. I'm rather specific about those. I'm not interested in seeing someone wearing their cock cage or some shot of him bent over so can see the vibe inserted in his rectum. Think whip marks on the back or artistic needle shots. Bondage pics where somebody has been restrained (not just tying the genitalia) are also good.

The three shots that I don't care for are the following. Cock pics. I'm not big on cock shots at all. You can't have one as your primary photo. I don't really want to see it in the latter shots, either. How many women do you know that want to see your genitals before they have seen your face?

Pics of guys bent over for the brown-eye shot that aren't post play pics. If you are showing off your marks, I totally understand bottoms that want to do that. If you aren't red from paddling, don't have bruises or welts, it's just another ass and it's not that appealing.

Third is the classic shot of the guy standing up, torso pic with the head cut off. You might as well be screaming "I want to look exactly like everybody else and bore you to death" with that shot. You've got a little definition in your abs, OP and at least yours has that going for you but it just makes you look like everybody else with the same shot. You want your pic to make you stand out. Not be exactly like thousands upon thousands of others on the site.

Greetings Murr.

Borrowing from my other recent post:

quote:

Women are not visual in the same way as men. You show us a dick, we think you're a dick. You show us a headless torso, we think you're a mannequin, not a man. If we want to see your dick, we'll ask. Until then, it's only your little friend, and we don't give two figs about it (even if they're yours!). When most women see pictures of other women in your photos, they don't see themselves in her place like 'oooooo, what a lucky woman, I wish that was me instead!" They think 'is that f*cknut going to post pictures of me all over the internet like he did with that unfortunate woman?" Ditto with lameass pictures of toys/equipment. She'll likely think: 'ffs, where has that buttplug BEEN?! Ewwww!!!"

Get someone to take a vanilla, g-rated picture that shows you doing something non-sexual you love. Outdoor pictures are always great. Swing a hockey stick, throw a ball for your dog, or just wave from the beach. There are endless, artistic ways to avoid showing your face if that is a concern. Really put your best efforts into your pictures and narrative.

Best of luck to you, Murr!

MistressDarkArt, I love your post!!! Perfect!!

For a main profile pic, I really like a clothed picture of the man doing something he really enjoys. If you don't want to show your face for whatever reason, there are creative ways to do that. For secondary pics, I don't mind bdsm/kink pics, like bondage or whatever, as long as there aren't naked genitals in them. Naked asses are one thing if you're showing off your marks, but if there aren't any marks and you just have your ass parted to the point that I see your gaping brown-eye, I don't want to see it. If I want a brown-eye to gape, I will do it myself with my strap-on. haha

I prefer dressed photos, but the one you have up is perfectly hot, so I doubt you'll have issues as photos go.

Good luck, and welcome to the boards. M

I agree with what most of what the other have stated. Clothed, active (even if reading a book is what you do) G-rated, non-generic, specific to you. NEVER a shot of a dick, balls, ass or other fetish specific pic.

Men wonder why women don't contact them. Mostly its because they show themselves too deeply rooted in their fetishes and desires through their pictures. Give me something to be interested in, then you may garner my interest.

I think people often give too little regard for the background in their photos: messy surroundings, trash cans piled high and unmade beds, yards that look like a junk yard all create a negative impression.

Let me add my 2 cents. Don't post a picture of another woman whether you are in the picture or not. You might be thinking you are proving you can actually find a date, but doing that is just tacky.
