There are a lot of people out there who don't frequent places such as this who have fetish fantasies and unrealised potential. They just haven't made the connection or, if they have, they've not been brave enough to follow the path that leads them to fetish contact sites.

If you only write when you have something to say, and if you are true to that - if what you write is from the heart, and expresses something you are passionate about, it can't help but be good writing.

Since I tend to be cluttered in my online communications I am always looking for free advice LoL. I don't always TAKE all of the advice I am offered, but I have encorporated a lot of it over the years. Regardless, I seem to tweak or flat out change my profile often.

I mean, c'mon my interests and experiences are constantly evolving, why can't my ad?

Nuke }:-

PS- IronBear, thanks for the water comin out my nose!

One huge thing that would immediately differentiate male submissives and give them a slight bit of credibility would be to eliminate the use of any of the following words in their collarme name:

sub
slut
sissy
slave
whore
bitch


In addition, they could remove names of acts, ie:

asslicker
pissdrinkr
whippedboy
pussytungrr
toesucker

Also, stay away from "clever" license-plate type nicks that still focus on your own fantasies:

whipped4U
URslut
makemeURslv
ready4beatn
tiedNtikled


The moment I see a nickname in my inbox that has any of these cheesy, overdone, "do me now" fantasy/fetish nicks I want to puke. Unfortunately, I think many subs actually get an erection as they think of their "collarme nick" and imagine with excitement their "soon to be femdom" reading their profile and going, "Oooh! 'TrampleMYballsPLs" is available -- I sure hope he has a picture of those balls he can send me PRONTO!"

Very funny, and very good advice except the people who need it most will probably never read it. M

I just enjoy seeing a profile that makes sense and has no typos. I can't stand typos in a profile. Take some care, it's your "advertisement" to the community, in general.

I had a typo that sat for months until a Dom pointed it out to me. thank goodness. Yikes.

i liked your whole post, but that part made me chuckle ... even though it's one of those "sad but true" things.

Unless, of course, they are looking for someone who wants a subSlutSissySlaveWhoreBitch. Then, I would think those words might indeed be appropriate...

The rest of your post is pretty universal, but the above quote, from my experience, is simply your own personal preference, and should be taken into account by those interested in contacting you.

Status: offline 		Given that the number of men on these personal sites far outweighs that of couples and women it's important to me that they be able to follow most of what was in the OP. Not so much the name gets me as what they choose to write.
"can i b ur slave" and "cam slut 4 ur us" don't cut it as opening messages. I get a lot of messages and in the beginning I used to reply to them all but after the umteenth one liner like the above you get fed up. I think someone can redeem themselves for poor choice of a name if they are well-written *Yeah I know you're going to say if they were well-written they wouldn't choose poorly* and show that they've taken the time to read my profile.

Put YOU in your profile, what makes YOU unique, not what makes you look like you read all the right websites.

Yeppers.. Its a hoot isn'y it pink.. I get a few emails like that every month. At times it's hard to see if its a wind up or if the person is genuine.. As the emails are sent to my Iron Bear email addy I have no immediate way of verifying things.. still it amuses me..
