Can you give me some pointers to make my profile more interesting?+
I try to be honest and I was told that I was putting too much honesty in so I changed it.
Would love and appreciate some feedback.

No matter how much or how little you include, it should ALL be honest.

"Single, Monogamous, Affectionate, Loving"

BEST OPENING SENTENCE EVER.

Your profile is brief, to the point, direct, and absolutely beautiful.

You say who you are, your habits, your ancestry, and what you are looking for.

You don't beat around the bush. You don't manipulate or obfuscate the point of the post.

I wish I was older, female, and with your orientation... because I would soooooo date you.

I'm a straight 28 year old guy. If I had a choice between a 28 year old female supermodel with a habit of using the word "******" in public, and a 60 year old homosexual man - I would choose the man. Humanity is a more desirable trait in a mate than sex organs or hair color or age.

The more human someone is, the more I am willing to do for them.

Humanity is sexy, and you are very, very human.

? Trying to be honest? Too much honesty?

What do you mean trying to be honest? You either are or you're not.

I don't see how there can be too much honesty, maybe too much information, or information you may want to reserve for later though.

Anyway, your profile is your billboard. What do you want to advertise about yourself? I would post at least 3 pictures of you, and a 5 sentence paragraph for the blurb. Be honest and yourself, otherwise you're just wasting your time and everybody elses. Remember you're seeking someone like you, how can you find that person if you're not being your true self?

I think people sometimes don't realize how little information gets communicated in just one or two pics and a few sentences.

Subtly is fine in some circumstances, but when on the net trying to find a mate, being subtle is counter-productive. In a bar or something, you want to be gentle in how you introduce and present yourself, because the people around you have no choice but to accept and respond to the information you give them.

On the net, if someone doesn't like something - anything - they can always click off the profile, go back, go to cnn.com, whatever. No person is obligated to absorb the profile you've created in its entirety. You have no obligation to be subtle or hint and what you mean to say.

I normally disagree any user sporting a post count over 15,000. This person, however, "totage", makes an excellent point as has transcended my bias against frequent posters.

I believe you should take more pics of yourself and upload them to your profile. I believe you should write more about yourself and what you are looking for in your profile.
