Damn I need to get to writing that article. I am going to demonstrate an example of something you very much should not do when contacting someone. That is copy and paste stuff you have pre-fabbed. This question gets asked a lot though, and I've been compiling stuff in my blog for an article that I plan on writing Soon™, and really, what I have to say on the subject doesn't change much. [:D] Common mistakes that reduce chances of responses: one liners form letters generic or impersonal statements focusing too much on play or a laundry list of kinks Ways to be more presentable: Read her profile completely, and comment on specific things in it (not just "I liked your profile" or other generic statements that scream "I didn't really read it" or "I sent this exact same message to 50 other women in the last five minutes") Take inventory of your positive characteristics, what makes you someone interesting to know? Don't simply ramble off factoids, leave an impression! What makes you you? Pics help a lot, at least one clear face photo is preferable. ... Figure out what it is that you like, and what it is you have to offer. What you have to offer probably should consist of more than a laundry list of fetishes. What makes you interesting, what makes you distinguishable? Network some more, and remember that you are dealing with real people and that there is more to these people than simply kink. Your objective is to get to know a person, and a person is much more than simply a title. Don't expect that you will magically find someone to play with you right away, unless you want to go to the pro sessions route, because relationships (friendships, play partners, M/s, D/s, whatevah) take time to build.
