ORIGINAL: IvoryWhore There are stereotypes for every type of person. I like to think most people can look beyond those, but I’m probably wrong. I’m not trying to be goth, and certainly not emo. That’s kids crap. Um…I don’t look ‘cool and put-together?’ No, you do not look cool or put together. You look like an adult trying to pretend to be a teenager. Your second photo where you are posing in front of the door is what set my impressions. You have the way-too-heavy dark makeup combined with what I guess is a black wig and then the weird fishnet thing, and that all adds up to a teenage emo/goth kind of look. The only other people who wear makeup that heavy are attending drag shows usually. Then you have the Daisy Duke too-short shorts and a pink french tee that belongs on a 16 year old. And then you have the belly bulging over the Daisy Dukes, which brings us to the "sloppy" part. The look is way too young for your age, and its simply unflattering to your body. You can absolutely look very feminine, and very sexy, and age appropriate. Seriously, start watching TLC's What Not To Wear and get some ideas. It's time to get a grown up look that belongs in public. If you were dressed in a classy sexy way, you'd get a lot more response. You're correct that you have androgynous/feminine features. And better hair and makeup would help you a LOT. The very black hair and blowsy makeup is not flattering with your extremely pale skin. The pics where you are wearing brown hair with some sun streaked highlights around the top and face are much more flattering. With that skin tone, though, you want to stay away from the really heavy eye liner. Smudge a dark charcoal or plum colored pencil into the upper lash line only, do a warm brown with gold flecks maybe on the lids, sweep a little light cream colored shadow just under the brow and on the inner corners of the eye. Apply a little mascara. On the lip color, I'd either go with a nude color or a much lighter rose. To go to a night time look, you can add more of the pencil on the lower lash line and go with a darker lip color, but not as dark red as you have here. Usually you want either the eyes or the lips to be your focal point, not both, and since you do have nice eyes, that's what I'd emphasize. quote:
ORIGINAL: IvoryWhore “you want someone to bankroll your transition” Um…no. I know nobody out there is that generous, even the most willing sugar-daddy. All I'm doing is saying if anyone out there is generous enough to make a donation, I would be very appreciative. I'm not saying or asking to pay for my transition. I'm just stating that I'm open for help if anybody wants to. It doesn't matter what you MEANT. What matters is that you are definitely coming across looking like the only thing you are interested in is someone bankrolling your medical transformation. I would suggest getting rid of every single bit of the mention of of anyone donating for the transition. If you get to know someone and a relationship develops, THEN you can talk about that. Up front in your profile it's a huge flashing neon sign that says "AVOID ME". quote:
ORIGINAL: IvoryWhore “I suspect that you meant this to indicate that you'd welcome friendships with anyone.” Exactly. So remove all the classes of people from that "Looking for" list, and pare it down to ONLY the relationship you want. Then in the written text of the profile state that you welcome friendships with people of any gender and dominance. The way you have it now, you are not getting searches focused the way you want them, and if someone does hit your profile and sees that big list they are likely to get the wrong impression!
