I thought I'd chime in with my experience. I think I fit the criteria of someone who occasionally will reply to an email, but often does not. I think, as a non-pro, I can stand to be fairly picky given the ratio of men looking to women looking. While this may seem pretty cold and potentially weed out fabulous people based on minor details, on the internet it's pretty much how it goes. In answer to whether or not there are women looking, I'd say yes, of course. Many, including myself, do occasionally meet people face to face also. Here's what I look for: 1) a completely filled out profile, including a picture and some description of hobbies not associated with bdsm 2) Common interests, both bdsm and not 3) Age range/distance. While not always a huge deal, someone out of state is usually ignored because I cannot see having them travel to me 100s of miles to meet for coffee and be sent home. With regard to age, I do not relate well to men under 30, so I tend to not send much more than a polite "no thanks" knowing this about myself 4) experience level. I'm not looking for someone "looking to explore their submissive side." I know we all have to start somewhere, but not with me. I want someone who is without a doubt a pervert and submissive. Leather-clad, boot-licking, pain-liking all out pervs. Not a guy who is "curious" 5) tone of the initial email. I may be alone in this, but I prefer people who engage me on a friendship level or conversational level before moving onto the long paragraph about how they are the best slave ever, if only someone would give them the chance. My definition of the "best slave ever" includes someone who can carry on a fun and interesting conversation. My 2 cents, especially since I think I recognize a few of you as people I might have not answered email from. Also, given the volume of email, it is sometimes not reasonable to assume that every email gets a reply. I think most ladies give it their best try and select the best ones from the batch.
