I have a lot of my boxes checked in the vaguely optimistic hope that anyone actually reads my profile. But I pay much more attention to the main writing or any interesting pictures when deciding whether to write back or not. I would only likely be put off if we had a live for!/hard limit mismatch. I want a certain level of compatibility as well as an interesting personality, so the check boxes can sometimes help weed out the totally incompatible ones. And as far as I know the fact that I have my boxes checked has never completely put off anyone with the kind of personality I would click with. Guess I could be wrong but I don't think so.

I don't have a lot of kinky must-haves or deal-breakers in general, most of my limits are of degree rather than kind. Back when I was looking, I felt that people who wanted to talk kink before meeting were a waste of time. Most of them just wanted a casual playpartner and/or fuckbuddy or cybersex, and weren't actually interested in me as an individual person.

Bwahahahahahahaha, great topic, great thread . . . . . Over here on CM I have mostly none of the BDSM interests checked, but tons of relevant 'vanilla' ones. My reasonably short CM profile text has an actual honest-to-gawd hotlink to my Fet profile . . . . ~pats self on back~ ... . . & therein can be found my completely unreasonably long list of 'fetish-y' stuff, for the interested. I've done what I can to minimize 'moron-cmail', with great success, & eliminating the sexxxy-sexxxy interests stuff from my CM profile was a big help in that direction . . . . . . It feels like a happy compromise ... . . In both cases, I'm primarily interacting via the fora. The profiles, for me, are more an exercise in alternating parts narcissism & marketing. (With very very very low expectations about the latter, lol. More generalized social-marketing than dating-marketing . .. . . )

quote: ORIGINAL: LadyOddsworth I am torn. While I want to meet men who are compatible, I don't necessarily want to talk kink until I get to know them. So here we have those little profile boxes that allow us to list our likes and dislikes of specific BDSM activities. I just "unchecked" all of mine. I think just being on this site tells something about me. Thoughts? Do you find this information instrumental in finding someone? If you view a profile with no BDSM checked info does it discourage you? Thanks For me ,no. If I don't mesh with someone as a person or find them to be desirable as a woman, their kink preferences are of no significance.
