ORIGINAL: Leatherist I have to wonder at times. People who post all about how much a slave they are in a profile. But nothing about any skills they have? Is it all about playing then? What does it matter? Unless and until she is owned, she is not a slave. bingo, someone finally gets it. I "get it" and agree with the concept too. However, my experience would indicate that the appropriate reaction to any profile label is a big 'so what?' until you meet. Using the same standard that you have concerning the label without experience referenced; why should the experience reference be taken as fact? Then again, experience can be a bad thing or a habit that needs breaking. Suppose her experience was to speak only in third person and you hated that? What if the 'slave positions' he/she have mastered aren't the ones you desire? What you have in profiles are people using other profiles as a guide. The majority have no idea what they want, or think they want something when its better kept a fantasy. My personal favorites are the slaves, and 'submissives' for that matter that take up half their profile telling you what they won't do. It's incredible, but not as incredible as the 'dominants' lining up to serve them and their desires. Again, from personal experience, if I required 'experience' or references for a 'skill set', I'd still be searching. Maybe it was my general skepticism, or east coast attitude, but I didn't (and don't) trust any profile ad. Their value is as a tool to help determine if the person has intelligence, can put more than two words into a sentence, and has the ability to use a 'spell check' program. beth had no experience, no 'slave skills', no references to check. her profile was a simple disclosure of naiveté, private fantasies, and a request for a 'gentle Master' to hold her hand as she walked down a path that, more than anything else, scared her as much as excited her. I read in her profile a desire to be nothing more than 'herself'; with an amazing admission that she really had no idea what that was or would turn out to be. If she used 'slave' within that profile, it would have been irrelevant. Now she is a 'slave'; my slave, under my definition. As our sig line says; we've posted a lot of anecdotes about our lives, but to understand what 'slave', or for that matter 'Master' means and represents to us - you have to observe it and experience it first hand. The same holds for anyone, a profile is only words.
