What do you lose by talking to them for awhile?

I never understand why people say this. As Regina said, the answer is time. Personally, I consider My time valuable, just like everyone else. I want to use Mine in My own best interests. That means I'm going to invest it in those areas that are most beneficial.
Let Me put it like this. Not everybody here falls into the preference categories of everybody else. I'm not going to put My time into someone who doesn't fit Me, rather than put that time into somebody who might fit Me. Instead of wasting My time on the guy who looks like he's 80, a hundred pounds overweight, who doesn't want people to see him because he's worried about being 'recognized', I could be talking to somebody who is in My age range, willing to meet Me at the local munch, and has compatible play interest.
Well, yeah, I guess I knew the answer in general was "time," but maybe I'm not aware of how much time is at stake.
I've seen some submissive sub profiles that claim they fend off dozens or hundreds of messages a day- do dommes often get that level of interest? If so, I can understand trying to create filters that narrow things down quickly.
I second the conversation about labels, though. This is not directed at anyone here, who mostly seem like a polite bunch, but there is a general tend on Collarme, at least the parts I've seen, to dismiss people with different interesests, preferences, or personal values-people who don't pass one's "filter"- as fakes, delusional, etcetera. This tendency seems to transcend orientation and sex. It's puzzling, and frustrating.
