ORIGINAL: Padriag
The ones that really interest me are the ones that tell me something about themselves as a person, more than just fetishes and lifestyle interests... who they are as a person, things they enjoy, goals, hobbies, personal interests, achievements, things they're proud of, etc. That stuff tells me so much more about them and gives me a starting point in writing to them.
BTW, here's a profile tip. Write about things in your profile you want people to write to you about. That is, if you share some things about yourself that you want people to notice, odds are that is what folks are going to respond to. You can kind of control who writes to you a little bit that way.... trolls not withstanding.
I'm with you on this, Padriag. Especially when it's clearly listed that someone has interest in a "relationship"....one should figure there's more to that than just BDSM activities.
I had a web page attached to a profile, and I've always included some of my vanilla interests, as well as a few photos on the site. (No one ever questioned my vanilla interests.) The page also included that two of my dogs died within a month of each other. I had a memoriam posted to them, with their photos, along with birth date, and the days they died. I probably had hundreds of hits to the web site, but only one caring man <a Dom, go figure> said anything about the dogs. I found that strange. I thought this was a good way for me to see screen out the caring types, and then found only one.
K - love me, love my dogs [:)]
