Though some of the names on here have become familiar to me as people whose opinion matters to me, because they've shown themselves to be intelligent and mature (even though most of them don't know I exist, lol).

As for messages I get in my mailbox, I admit to being a bit more guarded if the name is something obscene or weird, but I'll always read what is sent to me. A person is more likely to offend me with what they write to me, rather than what their username is.

Gawd, A.  This from a man with 'pig' in his screen nic?!  Now, I know full well that you're anything but a pig, but the words ' glass houses' and 'throwing stones' spring to mind!

Status: offline 		Your name is the first impression someone gets of you when you write.  Some people's names reference certain acts that I have zero interest in.  I assume that if that activity is important enough for them to use as a username, then it would not be a good match.  Similarly when someone has a weak or strong name, I start with an impression of them.

I do generally open all messages that I receive, but the impression has started.  If it is followed by a one liner that goes something along the lines of "Goddess please except this worthless slave..." (spelling error was intentional) it gets deleted without even a no thanks.

Names matter. A sane letter from a poster with an insane name can smooth things over.

But it does mater.

I agree.  DG so often makes Keats and Wordsworth look like uncouth yahoos who are devoid of all sensitivity and finer feelings.

I am prejudiced against such names as sternmaster, SternSir, PainMaster, StrictAsshole4u

I know there are people who seek stern, strict, mean mutha fuckas.... I am just not one of them. I want someone who is TOLERANT because I tend to fuck up sometimes no matter how hard I try, and being punished isn't high on my list at 42 years old

Status: offline 		I definitely filter out possible partners based on their usernames...after all people choose their names so they must feel it represents them somehow. I reject anyone with a sexual name as being incompatible with me since I'm looking for more than that. Sex is great but I'd like to be with someone I can talk to when the boinking is done. I'm also not interested in someone with an UberDom nic...it's the well rounded thing again. If a guy identifies that strongly with one part of himself that he's got to broadcast it as the first thing he wants others to know, then he's too one-dimensional to be a good match with me. I want more than a penis or sex and more than just a Dom or Master...I want a whole man.

I would have to agree that anyone with 69 in their nickname just causes my eyes to roll...that is just the epitome of dorkiness. Honestly...we're all adults on here and that is the best thing you could come up with? Like who HASN'T done that...geez. That's like advertising yourself as being able to ride a bike with training wheels

Status: offline 		Well, I'm just pretty darned pleased that I got hold of "my" name on here, without having to get creative with characters and numbers.
It's been with me for near on 10 years, and I swear that if someone said it out loud I'd react to it as I would to my given name.
I've heard the fish jokes, I've heard the parasitic flatworm jokes, I've heard the electrician tool jokes, people have asked me about the band, etc. etc...

But yeah, I do judge people by their screen names, it's no different than your average first impression, just in a different form.
I've been around enough to know that first impressions isn't all, but it DOES have a strong impact regardless, one that affects your desire to further interact or not....

I think anytime that repeats a letter more than 4 times is a bad name.
