Agreed. Also, people who offer profile help based simply on what does not appeal to them personally are offering no help at all.

Salutations to you all;

Based on reading a number of very good suggestions from various people on here; I was wondering if there would be an appropriate way to post some links to actual images as suggestions, rather then just the written descriptions.

If there is a way; perhaps people could post a few images as direct examples of: "This is a example of a good Photoshop/blurry shot" or "This is a good example of a mask" or what have you...

I tend to be a visual person; and so for myself at least; a visual example would convey a far better sense of understanding then the wide open realms that simply descriptions allow for.

In case you hadn't noticed people were telling you the methods they had used, for instance the lady advising you to wear a mask was wearing one in her picture......

@ GotSteel;

Thank you; I did notice what people were telling the OP. However I apparently have not communicated my inquiry as well as I had hoped.

Simply put; someone telling you something only in words isn't the same thing as seeing it for some people. As and example; if I was to say: "Smile like the Mona Lisa"; if you had never seen the painting before; then you would have only a vague idea of what that smile is like. (And every book I've seen describing the smile puts it differently). However; if I give you a link to a picture of the Mona Lisa; then you would have a direct reference point to what the meaning of those words are.

So; "wear a mask" as one person suggested; is most certainly a good option; and as you also stated they are wearing one themselves. However; they are female; and I believe submissive. Therefore there is not a direct translation to a male whom is dominant. What looks good on one, will not look so on the other.

Therefore; I was asking for visual examples of "what people think works well" in their individual opinion as an aid to understanding; and communication. Especially that of something which is primarily visual in nature.

I hope I have made my position a bit clearer.

Regards;

I'm having a bit of a dilemma with whether or not to post a pic of myself on my profile.

I'm a professional, with a pretty public career, and can't afford to have the lifestyle labeled pegged on me. At the same time I am serious about looking for a sub on here. Any suggestions or experiences to share on this?

Don't.

I'm a (male) sub....3 businesses, totaling 6 mill in sales locally and internationally, growing 75% - 150% annually...

People assume things.

If you have any recognition, locally or nationally....or any expectations within the next 5 years of being so....hold it close to your vest.

Sub males (as to any corporate personae) are deemed lesser men (by their peers....moreover, if exposed....by their employees)....Dom males.....heathens, abusers....males can't win in this game.

You ain't sexy....but a Domme woman in boots is.

You can't win this one.
