ORIGINAL: alongrider juliaoceania, Thanks for the advice.I will say that I have removed the pix of the bikes,they where just there to show one of my hobbies.I guess some would say I am a biker but I do not consider myself to be just that.I am very multi-faceted and eclectic,I enjoy theater,comedy clubs,rock-n-roll concerts,classical music,travel,good dramatic moves,movies that some might call chick flicks( never understood that one)a good movie is a good movie.I think guys who use that term have issues with their masculinity,lol.Ridiing and building old motorcycles is just one part of my life.I DO ride bikes and yet I am college educated(Duke University),articulate,intelligent,and have friends that are University professors.I am not sure if you can make a correlation between all bikers and who they are as people.As for the long hair and beard,it's just my preference and not a statement of lifestyle.And to tell you the truth all my past gf's were never biker types at all. I agree that the longer the laundry list the smaller the audiance,but this to me is the place to stae your preferences,is it not?So why not tell it like it is?Otherwise one will end up with the type of person that one is not really looking for in the first place,right?Correct me if I am wrong.And yes,I am picky,lol I have also been told that I should not put down in my profile the I am sensitive and caring as that seems to make girls think I am not a strict Dom.That to me seems strange.I am not a hardcore Dom but I am a Dom and like my women to be submissive.I am not sure that the fact that I am sensitive and caring means that I can not be a Dominant.What do you think? First of all I want you to know that I have nothing against bikers. I do not think they are less educated or less intelligent than any other human being on average. There are "types" and many women look at a photo and assume they know what "type" a man is. I did not see the bikes on your profile, I was going on your hair and beard. Like you have a personal preference, women that you contact have one also... and some of them may prefer the preppie short haired type with a clean shave. I do not think you should get your hair cut and shave your beard or anything, I was just stating that your appearance would appeal to a certain number of females, but not all of them. Telling me what you did above should perhaps be in your profile? Letting women know you are educated, have diverse interests, and would like to know about theirs is a very appealing thing.... otherwise women can only know that you are a kinky biker type...smiles. Sell everything you have, not just the partial product, and personals ads are advertisements. When my Daddy first sent me a group of photos of himself there was one of him in a cowboy hat. If he had not discussed sociology with me, and stated his political preferences it is likely I may have not talked further with him based on the cowboy hat. Certain things point to cultural attributes, and it can even work on an unconsious level. I wanted someone that I could fit easily in their life and likewise. If someone was into rodeos, country western, living in a rural area, and conservative... well we would not be a fit... ...my point is that some women may not be into bikes and not know how to fit into your life so they pass on your profile, but if they knew you had many other hobbies they could relate to they may take the time to find out more about you.. does that make sense?
