from a business/marketing point of view, 1% would we an expected rate of respsonse, so that doesn't sound too bad from a general persepctive.  for this specific group of people, i would suspect the rate could be even lower.  there is a common general conecept with this site, but everyone seems to have very spcecific deisres.  i learn something new everytime i read profiles or posts.

i have frequently visited profiles and learned someone would not be interested based on their criteria. once or twice, i sent some friendly hellos (not an interest, just you sound interesting, nice to read your profile) with no response...so i quickly droped that idea.  i don't understand people that are so desperate they spam people hoping they will find someone.  it is rare that have found someone that is not so specific that they eliminate me from their desires.  the good news, is that you are careful and read you are likely to find someone interesting; but, its going to take some time.

Er...I've only been on CM for a few months, really.  I just checked my profile and found that I have 56 pages of emails, not counting several pages that I deleted a month or two ago because I was trying to reduce the volume.

I have answered most of those emails and made many interesting contacts, but very few of them had any potential to result in a meeting or work.  *shrug*  I am hoping that when I have a little more time and mobility, I will be able to take matters into my own hands.

No wonder the women in here are so off-ish. 56 pages? Heck I'd guess Ive been here a year and have less than a page. Is my profile that bad or is it because Im a male?

Honestly that sounds like a pretty damn good rate if you ask me...1 out of 100?  those are pretty damn good Odds.

Over the 10 Years that I have been online on various websites I've Meet 5 women. Dated 2 of them (which started as Friends only b/c I already had a girlfriend and wasn't Poly at the time so I guess they gave me a chance considering I wasn't trying to get in there pants) 1 of them was strictly a meet up for sex and well it was great for what it was...but I should have talked to them first because besides the sex personality wise and goals wise were not good and never saw each other again (and I hate one night stands)

and then I would say that in the last 10+ years there have been somewhere around 15 women who were friendly online even said "hope to see you out" we may have even exchanged numbers but it never went anywhere... Now I understand that i'm a guy. but overall I'm pretty happy with myself and definitly feel that i'm a reasonably attractive person with generably likeable traits who shouldn't have a problem(and doesn't in real life)
I send emails that are personalized thought out honest and friendly without being sappy. but in the end... those 2 Friends that have turned into girlfriends was worth every minute of the 10 years I have spent on personals. even if they didn't last.
and well.. I'm not relying on personal sites for anything... I have a very active social life and stick to the internet while i'm home after work, during work, or when I can't sleep, or before I go out for the night.

so personally I say that is a good Rate of Attrition.
get out and do stuff in the community and your dance card should be quite full.

Cheers
Skully

P.S. Why does the "ask a Mistress"  section get all the good questions?



ShaktiSama -> RE: rate of attrition? (3/27/2008 6:56:56 PM)

Well, they aren't 56 pages of individual emails from different people--I do conversations!  I was just trying to say that from my point of view, being able to connect with one in a 100 people would be an excellent rate of return.  At this point I'll be lucky to bat one in a thousand.  On the other hand, people you can really treasure as friends or playmates are one in a million, so who am I to complain?  [:)]



DiurnalVampire -> RE: rate of attrition? (3/27/2008 7:00:47 PM)

Before I collared Fox, the majority of the responses I got were either:
1) visiting my city and hoping to hook up
2) OK with my having Angel as long as I was going to put them before him
3) on loan from their mistress to further their training in service
4) Doms who wanted to explore their submissive side
5) Domme women who wanted to "test" Angel
6) D types who wanted to share theirs and mine

Needless to say, I didnt actually meet most of them and the few I did I was vastly disappointed with.

Because we're prettier than the blokes.  Most of them, anyway.

I have found my 'statistics' to be simular to the op.  I don't seek out people, but have been contacted by pages and pages of them.
Most I found were either not interested in or able to carry on an intelligent conversation.  There are an overwhelming number of people who fall in the category of "Fantasty is a huge motivator; reality, not so much."  Fortunately it doesn't take a genius to determine who they are.  There is one individual who is a 'member' of collar me and has more profiles than I can count.  I have 'met' many who are not what they say they are.  The worst is a man and he is a HUGE FAKE! and sees himself as a valuable asset to the community as he pretends to be a domme and in fact is a man....he thinks he IS meeting someones needs.  Every time his profile is shut down (and it has been many times)  he just builds another.  This led me to wonder how many of the profiles are actually the same person and how many are unique???

The good news is that I met my life partner on a (gasp) vanilla dating site on line.  I met one of my slaves on alt and discovered my finest slave on craigs list.  So I know there are real people out there....but it takes a lot of fishing and just the right bait ;)
