Honsoku -> RE: Weeding out the real slaves (8/16/2007 6:33:48 PM)

First, I define *real* as interested in more than just chatting and/or fantasy exchange. Keep in mind that these are not absolutes, just things that increase the odds.
Things I look for;
Photo. This accomplishes several things. First, it is a demonstration of commitment and openness. Second, it gives me some idea as to the person (there is a lot of information that can be gleaned from a photo). This may seem a bit shallow, but think of it this way; if you were picking out fresh apples, where would it make sense to choose from first? The bin where the apples were out on display, or the shelf where the apples were stored in opaque boxes?
Optional data provided (location, weight. etc). The more complete the better. This gives me an idea of the feasibility and is also another indicator of openness. Just like photos understand that there are situations where this may not be a good idea for the slave.
Profile text. This is probably the most important part. What someone puts there says a lot, and will frequently make or break the profile for me. Generally I think it is wiser for people to state what you aren't looking for, rather than what they are, because this reduces the odds of the reader mirroring. Both of course is best. Look for spelling and grammar. It doesn't have to be perfect, everyone is human, but it should not be rife with errors (conscientiousness counts, would you want a sloppy slave?). They should talk about the kind of person they are as personality matches are important. Between this and the journal, look for a conversation hook or two, something that you could comment on or ask a question about. This is good for both since it can be easier to start a conversation and it provides a signal to the slave that you actually took the time to read the profile.
Of course none of these are guarantees, but it does seem to improve the odds of getting quality responses.
