Well, now, let’s see. I’ve been lurking around on this site for about a month now, so I thought it was time to introduce myself and say hello. In short, I am a twenty year old sub from Ohio. I went to college for a year and a half, and will be returning to somewhere undetermined next fall. I’ve spent some time working, and right now, I am getting ready to volunteer with the Red Cross to combat our two favorite bitches, Katrina and Rita. I won’t go into a long, detailed description of myself here, because if you are so inclined, you can read it in my enormously long profile. However, I will leave you with a few things I have noticed about our wonderful BDSM community on this site, and a bit of snarky commentary on my part.
1. People here are awfully sure about their skills of persuasion. Either that or they just don’t read. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and say it’s the first one. Even though a lot of people, myself included, have pretty straightforward expectations, I nevertheless get emails trying to convince me of one of these things:: Becoming involved in a poly family; people trying to convince me that yes, fifty years old really is in my age range; people who think they will come off as sexy by calling me names and ordering me around; people who really just want a housekeeper; people who are convinced that no, I am really a slave and not a sub and just don't know it yet; and finally, people who think I'm joking when I say I'm not looking for random sex or an internet fling
2. Some people here also make me laugh with the whole ‘application’ thing. The last time I looked, I thought this was sort of a dating site, where you could seek out like minded individuals, through old fashioned means such as communication, not a job interview. But hey, maybe I’m wrong, eh?
3. There is an AWFUL lot of drama on these boards. Although I don’t really participate in it, or, rather, I haven’t felt the need to yet, it is amazing how fired up people will get at someone who lives an ocean or so away.
4. There are some absolutely insane people on here. And then there are people who just put me in tears, because I can’t help but laugh at the things they say. Really. What do you say to someone who messages you and says something like, “I feel such a sexual hunger for you”, and nothing else?
5. For every strangely frightening person who has messaged me, there has been one who has their head on straight and who doesn’t make me want to hide under the covers. To those of you, I say thank you!
In all seriousness though, this is one of the most thoroughly active sites I’ve had the pleasure of being a member of. I’m an old fashioned kind of girl, and I like to move slow, so, emailing me and telling me to hop onto the next plane to Timbuktu probably isn’t going to be your best opening line. I’m looking mostly for friends, and if that happens to escalate, great. I’ll talk to anyone, of any age, but considering the fact that I myself am fairly young, I’d like to keep my romantic prospects in a seven year age range type deal. Some people have a problem with that, but, hey, my choice, si? Also, try not to let my smartass comments offend you…I’m twenty years old, it’s illegal for me NOT to be a smartass. But, better a smartass than a dumbass, eh?
ANYWAY, HI! LOVELY TO MEET YOU ALL, I AM SURE.
