ORIGINAL: DarkSteven One other thing - your profile has an attitude. 1. "I am a super BBW. If you can deal with that, keep reading. If not, block my profile." I don't like taking orders from profiles. 2. " I am not desperate, a common misunderstanding about BBW's. " I don't like profiles lecturing me. 3. "I hope you get what these few words in this small space are saying." I don't like profiles patronizing me. Ditto, ditto, ditto from the other side. I read so many male dom profiles that have exactly these qualities as well, and their anger, defensiveness, complaining, or whatever it is is rather off-putting. I think the people who write these sorts of things don't realize how badly they are insulting decent people, potentially good partners, and making them turn away. To the person who started the thread: do not despair, the hour is yet early, and many dances remain. :) I've been looking for several years, although I think that only in the last year have I been ready to move into something. I know it's hard not to vent, this place is sooo #$@*(#)# Frustrating, but do take out the negativity in the general profile. Pretend like you're writing it to your dream dominant, not to the bozo the clowns who have contacted you in the past. Even if you do this, you're still going to get lots of stupid responses, but you'll also get (a few) more good ones because your readers won't feel like you are personally attacking them. Also, try writing to specific men that interest you rather than waiting for someone to find you. Posting this thread is more passive "waiting for someone to find me." It requires little or not risk (well, ok, you risk attracting the snarky-toads but everyone new who posts here risks that!) Writing to an individual, particularly one with a profile you really like, does involve taking a risk. You make yourself emotionally open to them, if only a little, because you're in essence saying, 'Hey, I think you are cool and want to know more about you!" He can reject you. But it can also work well. A lot of men, even if they're incompatible, will be quite nice in how they respond to you. And even if you aren't right for each other, you can go to sleep knowing you may have made someone's day. A woman on this weirdly unbalanced site expressing interest pleasantly suprises the hell out of many men. :D Only a few are total asses about it, and you can usally tell who's going to be that way. Their profiles tend to exude Eau De I'm Too Sexy For Everyone.
