Photo advice for a Dom Man... - 12/22/2015 7:26:29 PM

I know the basics - shirt on, face visible, just the people advertising, etc. But I was wondering what else a submissive woman looks for in a photo. Any advice would be appreciated.

When I was looking, I was most attracted to interesting photos. Yeah, I know you're dominant, what else you got?

My partner's profile photo was of him on a hiking trail with one of his llamas. That was the thing that prompted me to message him.

Of your photos, I like the one in the pink shirt better. In this one, the background is cluttered and the white shirt blends in with the white wall.

But yes, llb is right, a picture showing something nonsexual that you are passionate about is always a good thing.

I'm not submissive but I'm a woman, forget about submissive part, dominant women won't really search for your profile anyway, think about what would interest a woman, so yeah, what was said before, nonsexual stuff you enjoy, unless you are strictly looking for a play relationship, think about the person you want to attract, D/s S/m all cool and dandy, but you really want a connection that goes a bit further than just kink, or else it's like a relationship based just on sexual chemistry and that is usually not enough glue and tends to fade

Not much, really. I don't put a whole lot of stock in what pics I see on people's profiles. When I was looking, I was interested in seeing someone who seemed happy and comfortable in their own skin. I don't need to see your toy collection, your dungeon, or your junk. As for the rest, that's what actually talking to a person is for.

Don't look now, but MDs and hospitals kill more than guns, cars or any disease/event after the top 5 causes, Heart disease, Cancer, stroke, chronic lower respiratory disease, and trauma (accidents). Iatrogenic deaths are usually estimated at over 100,000/year. Interestingly, the CDC doesn't even list it in the US death stats.

That's quite an epiphany right there...

Not an s-type (obviously) but some of the advice goes for either side of the slash.

First, have to agree with Des. The shot in the pink shirt is a better one. The one with the facial hair isn't half bad, either. I wouldn't suggest it for the main pic unless the facial hair is current. The white shirt's not working with you for the background.

Women are still women, no matter what side of the slash. You have ten more slots for pictures, so you could add some more. Outdoor shots are always good, doing something you enjoy. You mention something really unique in your profile that you blow glass, so I'd suggest adding one of something you made. You live in tourist attraction heaven, so you could do all kinds of things with that.

It sounds weird, but keep smiling. One thing I hear from submissive women a lot is that D-types want to take that 'brooding look' picture. Shots where you are smiling will stand out.

I would also add putting up a recent photo. I've met a lot of guys who had old photos that obviously failed when I met them.

And yes, please smile.

And photos with other women are a turnoff.

For me, I just want a normal photo with the man dressed relax and casual and confident.
I don't need it to be fancy showing him engage in his hobby or interest. But of course if you wish to attract women with the same hobbies, that might help too.

Any selfie infront of a mirror will do.

I agree with others you look better in your pink shirt too and also the picture of you in the beard is a good one.

The problem is, your white shirt, it looks oversize on you and kinda messy. No idea why.

The pink shirt is an old pic - more than 8 years old. I agree it is the best one of me, but I don't like the idea of putting it first because of the age. It came from before I gained 20 and now lost 20 lbs.

The white shirt is the most recent - came from December 2015. That's why I put it up. Yes it is a bit big for me, I've lost 20 lbs since I bought the shirt (New diet - working great).

I will put up another one from Dec 2015.

More impressive than any picture you might post would have been you taking a second to thank all the people who responded to your request for help on your pictures.

for me as long as they don't show any naked sexual parts aka penis or the picture isn't fuzzy, hard to see it that way.
