I read your profile before looking at the other responses. I am also writing this before looking at the other responses.

I think the content of your profile is good. However, there are glaring grammatical errors. Yes, we all make them (especially in a message forum like this) and I am sure I have a typo or grammatical error I have yet to catch in my own profile. But in your profile there are periods where it is obvious there should be a question mark, etc. Also, when you write and ____and _____and there might be a better way to seperate it into several sentences. Commas are your friend.

You might also want to include some of the activities you like.

I believe what we write is a reflection of who we are, but sometimes thinking about it before writing helps. Also, I'm sorry if it seems like I am picking on the grammar and punctuation, but that is the simple thing that can ruin an email or profile for me.

Ok, tip from one Dominant to another...

Your biggest asset is always going to be confidence. Insecurities tend to say that you lack that confidence. They sort of give the impression you don't have a handle on yourself. And if you can't handle yourself how are you going to handle someone else?

That may be true to an extent, however, when I am searching for a Dominant, someone that admits their insecurities, weaknesses and inexperience in certain areas is going to turn my head MUCH sooner than someone that plays the tough guy role. We are humans, not roles. If you read the responses from submissives to the OP you will find a common thread....you sound like someone that cares, is sweet..whatever. I'm not looking for a stereotype, I'm looking for a balanced person that I feel I can be extremely vulnerable with. His ability to be human and vulnerable goes a long way for me personally to build trust with him and being HONEST, even if it isn't flattering or seems "insecure" (which by the way we all are to an extent) goes a long way to start building that trust for me.

OP I think your profile does a good job of doing just that, displaying balance, humanity and your interests.

Let me just make a note here. On 13 th may I posted version 3 of my profile which is still something of a work in progress. The single most difficult thing for me always seems to be putting me the perosn into it. Anyone can write a shopping list but capturing yourself in it is a different matter.

We're all here to find our match (unless you are one of the lucky ones who already have theirs) and I just want to make sure my first impression is not only a good one, but an accurate one.

I've just read your new and improved profile. I like it. If I were searching, I would likely respond favorably to a message from you, or might even initiate contact myself. Very good job, in my opinion.

If I were to offer one small criticism, I am not a fan of the overly long list of likes and loves, etc. I have a short attention span and tend to move on quickly. Were I you, I would consider trimming it down to interests which are most important that your potential match shares with you.
