I appreciate seeing that someone made an effort to convey sincerity via a detailed profile. Someone who’s merely seeking a scene partner rarely invests that level of effort. That said, when the sub created his profile, he did so without knowing anything about me. Therefore, nothing in his profile addresses the content of MY profile! Indeed, nothing irks me more than someone who pastes his profile into an e-mail to me and thinks that’s an appropriate introduction.
As an example: my profile is explicit that FemDom is not a concept that I endorse. If someone sends me a boatload of prefabricated drivel about how he wants to worship me as his Goddess, it’s clear that he never bothered to read my profile and is indifferent to my needs.
Because I’m conducting a sincere search, which will hopefully lead me to a long-term sub, I don’t want “brief” inquiries from a prospective applicant. If someone wants a shot at getting his foot in my cyber-door, let alone into my real-time household, I expect a detailed think piece, speaking to the specifications at the end of my profile: what to include in one’s written introduction, and how to tackle that information. If someone is unable/unwilling to do this, then he will never be a good fit in my household.
I also take a gander at the person’s user name choice. Does it scream that his mind is service-oriented, or is he role-play/sex oriented? I don’t put all my stock in the name selected, as one can always try to erect a false façade. Sadly, online BDSM “dating”/”matching” services are flooded with people who will say and do anything to attract a dominant’s attention. Still, when you ponder many of the name selections in online services, it’s evident that serving a dominant is far from the person’s goal.
On a related note: I look at whether the person is writing faux upper case/lower case Internet protocol. It tells me that person knows how to conduct himself in a chat room, not in daily life, providing real-time service. It also bastardizes proper writing skills, which annoys me endlessly. Above all, I have no tolerance for an alleged sub who imposes protocol on me when I never agreed to accept his submission.
One final critical tip: Proofread what you write! Online discussion groups intermittently kick around pet peeves regarding introductions and profiles. When that happens, you’ll regularly find the thread ripping apart subs who can’t/won’t proofread what they wrote, or at least dump it into a spell checker. Beyond spelling, good punctuation creates a good impression, plus it facilitates your word flow by making your text comprehensible.
I hope this has been helpful to you and wish you the best in finding the Domme of your dreams.
