Status: offline 		Good thing I don't need to be "becoming", then.  I am not relying on a crap profile to try and meet someone.

Don't take this the wrong way, but here are my thoughts on your situation.

I already get that you are one of those people that think ignorance is a virtue and education is elitist.  Fine.  But think about this.  You are trying to meet someone through your written profile.  It seems to me that the kind of person you are trying to meet would have to be as uneducated and as poor at written communications as you are.  Therefore, they are unlikely to be searching on a place that requires at least basic reading comprehension and skills. They certainly are unlikely to be the type of person that inhabits these message boards. 

Translation:  You are looking for love in all the wrong places.

Maybe you come off better in person.  Maybe you have a silver tongue and are a great conversationalist.  Maybe you would be better off trying to meet your dream unicorn in person.

Don,t take this the wrong way but the irreverence you show and come across as is not very becoming. Ok no really take it the wrong way.

I've listened to several audio greetings on the other side. If you have the voice for it, then good Lord, do it.

Some people's voices are really dreamy ^_^ Plus, you can sometimes hear their mood in it, too, which helps you feel a bit more "in-person" if that makes sense. I listened to a guy's the other day that made me feel instantly more cheerful and like "I want to get to know this dude." ^_^

OP, you're getting whacked on for bad grammar, but like it or not, in a format that is primarily text-based, grammar and spelling do become more important. Many people aren't going to feel like engaging someone who they have to work to understand. It's just how it is. Perhaps, then, the online, text-based format isn't for you. Instead, maybe focus on meeting people in person; that way, you can talk as yourself, rather than having to filter yourself through your typing skills, which are severely lacking.

Note: it really isn't anything to be ashamed of if you have an issue like dyslexia, or just simple lack of familiarity with keyboards. A wonderful, engaging, bombastic, super-snazzy friend of mine has severe dyslexia, and avoids the online thing. He meets people in person, and has EXCELLENT luck making friends. When you talk to him, you realize how intelligent and personable he is, but if you met him via text, you'd get the wrong idea.

Why not just learn how to write? It's not difficult.

The way you write puts up a heavy barrier between yourself and the reader. Think of trying to talk to someone with an extremely thick and unfamiliar accent.

Perfection would be great, but aim for simple communication first.




I juts sent you an email. I apologize. I was less than erudite. but I stand by what I said!!

I worked on my grammar, spelling and communication skills when in school. I taught myself to type. I put myself through college, worked a job, got a BA in 2.5 years AND paid off my own student loans.

I have bettered myself by making the effort. You seem to embrace your issues rather than working on the issues. Spell check will help you cheat those issues, but it's a band aid not a cure. So, why not actually try to better yourself?

Status: offline 		If you'd like a spell-checker, try using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome -- both browsers include a convenient spell-checker. I love the feature because sometimes my fingers get going too fast and I mix letters around. It lets me correct.

The thing is, OP, you may not be able to make a "better" profile because the primary hindrance IS the spelling and grammar. Work on that, and then work on how to express yourself. Talk about what you like, talk about who you are. Talk about yourself in kinky AAANNNDDD vanilla terms, too. Most people who are interested in finding solid relationships, or even friendships, want to know more about you than just your sex life.

You want a live-in -- well what do you have to offer? What type of relationship do you want? Is she submissive to both parties, submissive to just one? Is there a power dynamic at all?
Your profile, as-is, is very short, and quite negative. Personally, if I got a message written the way you type, I'd be very likely to ignore it, because it's basically an unsolicited request to decipher your code. Do you understand what I'm saying? You start a conversation, you have to entice that person to want to respond -- when you send them jumbled and badly written messages, what's enticing about that?

Also, work on your tone of voice, and your attitude towards people who don't give you the responses you want. Do you fly off the handle at girls who respond negatively to your messages? The negativity in your profile and posts is probably not an isolated thing. You have to be someone other people want to share life and time with -- most people aren't going to take on something that makes them feel bad, are they? They're going to seek out something that makes them feel good.

My suggestion, download a free typing tutor -- they're everywhere!!!
Creative capitalization isn't really fun -- unless you're being funny. =p If you're doing it on purpose and being cheeky, that's one thing, but if you're using caps where they don't belong, apostrophes and other forms of punctuation where they don't belong, scrambled with words used improperly and bad spelling, you're creating something that most people just AREN'T going to want to read.

So work on your typing, use free typing tutors -- heck, sign up for a computer class at a local community college, or advertise for a tutor on your local Craigslist. Meanwhile, keep up your search by getting AWAY from a format that clearly presents issues for you, and go out in person and meet people face to face. You have to put your best foot forward, and typing is NOT yours at the moment.

FULL STOP!!!! This ^^^

Simple, to the point, and the perfect response.

You win!!! 5 pack points.


I agree.

If the OP is looking for a stupid, trashy, low self esteem, probably crazy, dirty (literally and figuratively) slut........that is all they are going to get.

Status: offline 		Podunk isn't necessarily a bad place to be for some people. I have many "redneck" friends (believe it or not). The difference is that they actually attempt to be understood.

LilyBoPeep had some great advice regarding the browsers (I use Google Chrome as I find it a faster browser than Mozilla Firefox). They have a built in spell-check (if the word is not in their dictionary they underline it in red). Then you can right-click on the word and options will be there for you to choose from.

Free, online typing tutors are available, often as web-based games to make it more fun to practice.

Think about who you are (as individuals and as a couple) and what you are looking for, and what you have to offer this person. What kind of life do you see yourself living with your unicorn? Will you hunt and fish and camp together? We already know you expect domestic service as well as sexual service. Will she be a sister sub with your wife, or will she dominate her as well? How will you provide for her needs? Will you provide health insurance for her? What about setting up a savings for her should she need to leave your service (for whatever reason)? Remember, she may be leaving a job behind to relocate to you, giving up her only source of income and retirement planning. There are a lot of things to think about with a poly situation. From there you can attempt to write your profile, once you have a good picture of how you want your life together to be like and why you think she should choose you over the other 500 couples seeking her.

Go to Fetlife and look for events in your area to attempt to meet people at munches. They will most likely already be local to you. At a munch you will be able to get tone of voice and body language to help you get your thoughts across, and culturally they will be more like you so you won't have to "translate" (my friend Jerry lives on a farm in the South and when he comes up here on speaking engagements he will often jokingly ask the crowd "who here speaks redneck?").
