In such a situation, my answer would be, 'I had a long term relationship a long time ago. I am interested in forming more relationships like my previous one.' 'I have 20 years of experience.' Experience at what? Wearing leather? Cracking whips? Loving another person? Fire play? Twenty years of experience just tells me that you are way older than me. :P To have 'experience' do I have to get that experience by sitting in on lectures of those who are famous within the BDSM circle? Do I need to have an extensive and expensive collection of toys? I would be willing to at least take the extra five or so seconds to clarify exactly what 'x years of experience' has really entailed. When the majority of people start talking about their 'experience' it's like my eyes go glassy and my ears turn off. It just sends this vibe of, 'You may worship me now.' and I'm not interested in worshipping anyone except my Dom. :) It's like when men talk about how big their penis is--not interested. You may have 20 years of experience in flogging and D/s, but what about violet wands or fire play? So, it seems like it would be more informative to at least add, 'Yeah, my favorite things to focus on are D/s and neddles so I have a decent amount of experience with them.' I love hearing people talk about the things they are passionate about and their experiences with them. What bores me are people who puffing up their chest and showing off, because their passion in life is apparently looking very silly.
