Here is the second thread in the series. The part in red is included because quite a few think this should be addressed. I didn't want this portion to be overly defined since many here have varying opinions on this subject, but did want to include some basic ideas.
Profile Help: How to attract Dominant Women
Personal profiles are one of many avenues available for you to communicate with people you’d like to meet. A balanced profile that incorporates your vanilla interests and your perspectives on D/s is a key element in attracting the attention of dominant women. A blank profile or one that focuses solely on kink discourages women from contacting you or replying to your messages. Often people will write “If you want to know anything, just ask” and nothing else. Why would someone want to ask you a string of questions when dozens of more interesting profiles are available? There has to be some level of interest before anyone is going to want to invest time and energy into getting to know you further.
Many submissive men put a great deal of information into their profile and complain that no body takes the time to write to them. What they often fail to understand is that how the information is presented is just as important as what information is available. Keep in mind that women tend to receive more mail then men. We do generally look at the profiles of the people who grab our attention in an initial email to determine if there is potential compatibility. So while you may receive less mail than you’d hoped, your profile is still a very valuable tool for you and for those you contact.
When creating your profile, let your personality come through in your written words. Think of your profile as half “help wanted” ad and half resume.
Another thing you should be moderately aware of are the terms bottom and submissive/slave. While every woman’s definition varies, there are two things most can agree upon. Simply put, if you are only seeking the kink activities, the play, you should include that you are only seeking to be a bottom. If you wish to actually submit your will over to another person, and have an authority based relationship, then you should include this as well. When it comes to the actual definition of submissive vs. slave, seek the definition from the person who you are considering. Hopefully their definition will align with yours, if not then you likely are not compatible. Remember, being a bottom is not a bad thing, it’s only bad if you misrepresent yourself as being more than you actually seek.
Here is a guideline to follow when creating your profile.
1. Your photograph: Know your audience. Your primary photo should be one that either shows your face, or shows you doing something in a vanilla environment.
- If you do choose to use a kink based photo as your primary, keep it tasteful. Artistic BDSM photos can be lovely.
- Cock shots, gaping anuses, and other vulgar photos will fail to capture the attention of most women in a good way. We simply are not wired visually the same way men are wired. If you have this type of photo, we will probably pass you over and move on to someone else.
- Be aware of the background. If you say you are service oriented but there is a pile of dirty laundry or dirty dishes in the background, we will likely chuckle at your inconsistency, but considering your services will be out of the question.
- Avoid using a picture of yourself with another person (unless you have consent) or a picture where you obviously cut someone out of the photo. Chopped off arms just look weird and it comes off looking as if you are too lazy to put forth the effort to find a photo of just yourself or taking a new one.
2. Your checklist: Those check boxes have more than just kinky interests available. Check your vanilla interests too. Women like to know if you share the same tastes in music and hobbies. Additionally, keep the tags like “Expert” reserved for those things which others can actually attest you are an expert. Being an expert in walking only looks silly, unless you are a tour guide, fitness instructor, or some other equally qualified reason for making such a claim.
3. Your Self-Summary: Share what you are seeking in a relationship and downplay the kink aspects. If all you are seeking is kinky play, be sure to inform others you are only interested in bottoming and that a deeper relationship is out of the question. If you do include kink aspects in your profile, put them closer to the end.
- Tell your audience your views on relationships. Do you think D/s is bedroom only or do you think it carries over into all aspects of the relationship?
- Share what you have to offer. Do you have any specific skill sets that a dominant woman might find useful? These skill sets can range from the mundane like washing dishes to the very skilled, like financial investment strategies. Most dominant women consider queening or other forms of oral sex and anal play (including strap-ons) to be purely sexual activities. Understand the difference between sex and service.
- Tell us what makes you a better choice than all of the other submissive people vying for our attention.
- Pay attention to grammar and spelling. If your profile or journal entries are poorly composed that tells us a lot about you, none of which is very good.
4. Your journal: Use your journal to include more specifics about you. Talk about things like your most recent camping trip, or a workshop you attended. Keep these entries positive. When women see a bunch of negative complaints about financial dommes, fake dommes, or other negative stuff, we tend to think you are a negative person in general. Do you want to associate with negative people? Neither do we.
Based on my profile why am I not successful in getting responses?
