The problem with putting criterion and expectations in your profile is that a lot of men will pretend to want the same things you do. For example: If you don't want to talk about kinks at first, they will read that in your profile and simply conform (temporarily) in order to make you think they are well-suited for you. Worse yet, they will pander to exactly what you say you are looking for and tell you that they want the same thing. A lot of men will tell a girl anything to get her panties down, and the more you give away about yourself in your profile, the more material they have to work with, then you have to decipher through it all and figure out what's true and what's bullshit. I would rather let them be themselves and just weed them out in the first couple of talks. Why should I tip them off? ie-- If a dude says to me.."So...what are you into?" or "what are your limits", I know right away he's either looking for wank fodder or wants to talk about the sexual aspects before getting to know who I am. I think it's best to see this right off the top of the bat, it gives me the upper hand in the assessment process. Some are a bit smoother and it will take longer to smell their bullshit, but at least you can rule out the sloppier ones right away. Yeah, I guess I'm a little jaded, but I have found that these types are the rule rather than the exception. On top of all this, when I run into a profile that is a list of everything they DON'T want, it reads like a list of complaints, makes the person look like a loser and repels me immediately. It's very tempting to put that rough edge into your profile writing, and I know it can feel satisfying on some level, but I think it puts most people off.
