ResidentSadist -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/2/2008 12:39:18 PM)

Hi ya,
I’ll peek at your profile and I will even pretend the spirit of the OP wasn’t an ad campaign.  I will look at as slave like you are listed. 

How i want to make my Master the center of my Universe

*by making Him proud

Pride is scary for some Master’s in that they are of the form & function world perspective.  There is no pride on a Master’s part in those cases, no pride for a slave or humiliation is allowed, you either succeed or fail.  So you may limit your appeal to some of the older Masters that are past ‘pride’.

*by being a good girl

It never hurts to be a good girl as apposed to being a bad girl but, isn’t that the unspoken presumption and premises to a relationship?  I don’t know a single “Master” that seeks a “bad good”, brats and such are more often paired with daddy Doms.  I mean, it doesn’t hurt your profile to say you will be are a good girl but maybe you could use this text to mention what you specifically offer that makes you a “good partner” like relationship skills or cooking, sexual talents, service, corporate experience. 

*by having all His needs, wants and desires met
*by making sure He has a clean and comfortable place to call home
*by making sure He has home cooked meals

I see you are straight & monogamous (I am not) and I wish I could comment on this but I presume in mono, one woman has to meet all his needs and this is good thang!

*by always being available for His use
Ah... the old “my 3 holes for use”.  This stuff never sat well with me.  You are slave, treated as property and of course you will be available for use.  Somehow mentioning it seems…  well, like is a Master listed his qualities and said “and I will have authority over you”

*by being able to fit into His vanilla life
Nice.

*by being able to have intelligent conversation and being able to express my opinion
Nice.

…… etc ….. ok ……… at this point the clichés are killing me.  You may or may not be new to this but the Master you seek will have been down this road more than once in his life.  Being one of those road hard and put away wet kinda guys I tell you all in all, the only thing that caught my attention in your sea clichés was: 

”*by making sure He always has the remote”

That was so very, very cute and charming.  This one line is the single best sales tool in your arsenal.  All in all I think you are on the right track, if you can just inject some personality into it so I get a sense of who you are.  I think you'll do fine, you have my best wishes.

She changed it already, and I think it is way better femalesub41. But there is always room for improvement.

Because I am a curious lad, I am wondering why a Master wouldn't want to be proud of OP? Being proud of something is not the same as being conceited, I think that part was fine and I would say you should keep it.

I would agree with Resident about cliché, stand out from the crowd. Say things like, "I'll make sure there are no water spots on Your dishes" or "by bringing Him His slippers when He comes home from work", you know that kind of stuff. Specifics that also tell a lot about you and what YOU would like to perform for Him.

I agree with Steel as you don't have much about yourself, and I agree that you should add a section. And this will probably take some time to do because it is what you truly want from this relationship that you seek here. Do you want to crawl on your hands and knees for Him? Or do you just want some laptime now and again? Do you want lifestyle BDSM? Or do you want a vanilla life with Him having power over you at home and certain places? What is it that you really want. And do so in a respectful and deeply honest manner. I would also add that you are not afraid to learn more about being an obedient slave (again, IF that is what you truly want to be), because it seems that this will be your first time.

All in all, way to focus on the positive, instead of the negative this time around. The only one that conflicts this is "By not bringing drama into His life". That is well and good to say, but whether it is true or not, He will find out by talking to you. Besides, it's always better to focus on what you WILL do, as opposed to what you WON'T do when writing a profile piece in my humble opinion.

Sincerely,
SirWaxaLot






MisterStrongWill -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/2/2008 10:15:59 PM)

Wow now your profile is too bright, at least for me..And maybe it is the age difference(most likely) but you kinda sound like super mom/wife ...My only other advice change it up from time to time and get what you really want on there too.




BrokenSaint -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/3/2008 6:00:55 AM)

I have to agree, the remote thing is definitely very cute, even though I personally rarely watch tv. I'd also have to agree you definitely want to put some specifics on what you are looking for on there as well.

The rest isn't bad, but yeah cliche a bit, it could be better. Theres a few suggestions to improve on that so far, I don't particularly have anything to add. But definitely customize it a bit more. Right now the remote thing is the only one that sounds very original. It's definitely a good thing to put at the end though. Leave 'em with a smile kind of thing, y'know?

subswalow -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/3/2008 11:39:28 AM)

Bird: Make it easier on the eyes! Put it in paragraph form, lists never allow your "voice" to come through. Use a different font, and make the font smaller so that it becomes easier to read. One strategy you could use is to pretend you are filling out some kind of paperwork with your info. Name, age, location, profession, hobbies, etc. Make a list first, and then put it into sentence form. "Name: John Smith, Age: 30, Location: The Earth" can quickly become "Hello! My name is John Smith. I am 30 years old and currently reside on the planet Earth." Sentences are much more interesting to read and capture more attention than lists. It allows your unique personality to come through!

Good luck in your search!




sunshinemiss -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/3/2008 11:26:30 PM)

Hello female sub,
I'm gonna weigh in on this.... *takes a deep breath.

The practical: 
Centered is difficult to read.  Pull it over to align to the left.
The purple and yellow are pretty.
Your nick is ... well... boring... Get something that is about you THE WOMAN, not you the role.  A nick like yours smacks of sub frenzy and will attract trolls much more than a more committed type of person (imho and experience)...A name that is reflective of you...

Now the poetic:
He will be your whole world?  hmmmm
Who are YOU?  What do you love?  What brings you joy? What is a fun quirk about you? 
Why would a guy want to talk to you?  What do you believe in? 
The pix are great - particularly with your dog... very authentic.
Your main pic is really sweet and soft
Do you like nature?  Do you like going to the theater?  Do you like book clubs?  Do you like debate?
What is your favorite... something... (artist, author, musician - and why)
Paint a picture of you and what you want with lyrical words, words that are honest but beautiful.

I agree with Steel - the remote is not only a surrendering, it is clever and witty.
My own personal quirk - I love when people have a tag of some sort (mine being peace and passion... Christine's is Hell yes I'm pro gun.  I'm not gonna grab a rolling pin and hope for the best... GT is a flying monkey, etc.)  It just kind of gives a short snippet of each of us.

So who are you? 
And why aren't you telling us?

peace and passion,
sunshine

And see Miss female sub?  I even have references ..

Hugs GT... cause I adore her big ole power packed into that tiny lil body.

Welcome to collar me female sub.... In the end, it sounds like everyone is saying - be you... the real you... the authentic you.

Well wishes,

ElanSubdued -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/4/2008 2:03:59 PM)

tammystarm,

--- OMG after reading all post, No one would dare to like mine...

Egad Tammy! :-)  The cacophony of clashing colours and lacking paragraph breaks did me in right away.  Those two things caused me to skim lightly (rather than read in depth) because it was just too painful to look at your text for long.  It seems as though you're not actually searching for a partner so I don't necessarily see all of this as a bad thing.  Your profile expresses your personality and the collage is likely part of this.  Just be aware though that to those who are trying to learn about you, the format you've chosen makes the entry price quite high.  Many will skim rather than reading the detail because you've made it difficult to get at the detail.  Just inserting appropriate paragraph breaks alone would increase the readability significantly.

(begin web geek)

Side note:  supposedly "web standard" colours display differently in different web browsers.  Thus, for example, I've seen pages using colours that look fine in Firefox, but that are just horrid in Internet Explorer and vice versa.  This isn't as much a problem when you're using graphics (especially 32 bit colour model and above graphics) as these are more consistent despite variations in monitors.  Likewise, fully described, hexadecimal colour codes are also fairly consistent across browsers, but I don't think the Collar Me editor allows these to be used.  Thus, given the limitations at Collar Me, it's best to stick to mostly one colour in your layout and, if desired, use a second colour only for small highlights.  The colours black and white are also reliable choices.  Of course, if you don't give a fig newton about any of this, party on. :-)

(/end web geek)

Elan.




LadyHibiscus -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/4/2008 2:08:43 PM)

You didn't warn her about excessive use of ellipses!  Or was she frugal with her dots?

~~

The remote bit was lovely!  It's the small things that count. [:)]




ElanSubdued -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/4/2008 2:45:16 PM)

femalesub41,

I'm reading your updated profile.  (Note, I didn't get to see your previous text before you changed it.)  What strikes me about your current profile is four things:

1.)  It's all about what your master may want.

2.)  There isn't much about you or what you want.

3.)  By using list form instead of paragraphs, you don't show your ability to express yourself.

4.)  For my taste, it's a little too one-sided, potentially fantasy oriented.

You did ask for advice so here goes.  Personally, were this me, I'd scrub the entire profile and start again.  It's not that there is anything astoundingly wrong with your approach.  Rather, I think you could describe yourself in a way that makes you seem like a more balanced, well-rounded, desirable person thereby making yourself much more attractive to potential dominants.

The BDSM stuff (being available for his use, fitting into his vanilla life, obedience, respecting him, worshiping him, etc.), in my opinion, doesn't need to be explicitly stated.  These are behaviors a dominant would expect of their partner so you're not saying anything by listing these.  I think you'd do better by describing yourself as an interesting, intelligent, creative woman.  With this in mind, I suggest adding some vanilla things to your profile.  Your interests.  Places you've been.  Future goals.  And other things that make you the unique person you are.  Like others, I love your "remote control" reference. :-)  This shows you have sense of humour.  Many women on here are offering themselves up for "his" use so this is a given.  It's your other attributes that set you apart.  If you want to add a bit of BDSM, sure, put a bit of this in, but I suggest keeping at least a 50/50 (vanilla to BDSM balance), if not a balance more weighted towards the vanilla side of things.  Remember that at the outset, a smidgeon of kink is much more enticing and sexy than having the whole thing in your face.  The art of flirting is a subtle art indeed. :-)

Afterthought:  a personal preference but one that many share, I'd write in proper English.  Drop the lower case "i", upper case "Him", and other writing styles that signify BDSM protocols.  Once you've made a connection with a dominant, he will let you know what his preferences are, which may well be proper English anyway.  Also, you can follow your dominant's lead in an organic way.  Thus, if your dominant always writes himself as "He" and you as "she", then you might follow his example.  By starting off with accepted, vanilla, proper English, you give your dominant the opportunity to mark, shape, and take ownership of you rather than you assuming (perhaps incorrectly) what he likes.  And then, of course, once you're courting there is the golden rule:  if in doubt, ask your dominant what he likes!

Elan.

I didn't check out her "dots".  Then again, it's only your dots I truly care about.

lalbobbilynn -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/4/2008 2:50:32 PM)

i did not read Your profile prior to You re-doing it, however it seems to be acceptable from what i read. Color and font is a matter of choice, and as it presently is does not adversely confront me.
Be YOU, and place Your best foot forward. Relax, and just let it flow ..... lastly, remember everyone can make a bad first impression ....... especially mean folks who are actually inane!!
Best of luck in Your quest!

MasterHermes -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/5/2008 8:16:37 AM)

I am not sure creating the perfect profile in colobration with forum community would bring a healty longterm relationship. One can shine a profile all they want to but they are still the same person. Considering even empty female profiles recieve messages from males (so they claim) , not finding the right person can not be entirely depending on one's profile, can it? Most original profiles dont represent most succesful relationships. Its like a eye catching candy box. Box can  help sales a little, but if it doesnt taste good , you will only buy it once.

Thats being said I dont know the op and nor can I have any personal comments on her.

Good Luck
Hermes




subeos -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/5/2008 9:11:20 AM)

i think this is just her.... she has two pages of opinions.  Geeze, maybe she needs to take an English class. Or, perhaps she wants to attract the wrong ppl. Either way she has got way to much attention. Who gives a effing crap about her, yours or my profile? Geeze, grow some nuts and decide for yourself.
i dislike it when ppl can not think on their own. There my 2 cents.

SteelofUtah -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/6/2008 4:16:10 AM)

Just as I don't care for those who cannot see beyond thier own nose when someone is asking for help.

The reason anyone cares is because the OP askd a question and we chose to offer her our opinions and advice. I believe that is what this forum is for, people asking people questions on things.

I understand that you find this particular issue Trivial but in the end who are any of us to decide what is trivial to someone else.

This Thread was important enough to the OP that she changed her profile after some people offered thier insight. Thus I believe this thead served a purpose if to no one else the OP.

It takes strength of character and humility to take criticism gracefully, even when it has been asked for.
I respect the OP for that.
She has taken some of the advice given and actually ACTED on it and changed her profile.
With all the question threads we get how many actually listen and take on suggestions given?
I like that almost everyone acted with kindness and we had a little bit of a community project going here. Its kind of cute.






subeos -> RE: whats wrong with my profile (8/6/2008 5:08:14 AM)

Alright, i stand corrected. i will not be coming back to this thread to write anymore.
Still like this place[&:]
