What do you subs, and slaves think of my profile? I like the role of Dominance, but would like some advice. I tried to just be myself.

I think it's pretty good. Your first sentence is eyecatching (and funny) and you can't go wrong with Mumford and Sons. You share both kink and vanilla interests.

As far as being picky, I prefer noun and verb agreement:

My fetishes are

My preference is

Also, I definitely DO want to know what "manstuff in the forest" entails.

I like it, and also enjoyed your first line and the man stuff/forest :)

I have a question about this:

quote:

I play volleyball every Monday, and would expect someone to spend time with me.

Do you mean spend time with you at volleyball? Unless she is another player, seems like this should be your time.

Perhaps some of our Michiganians will be on to recommend local groups for you, if not, do check out fetlife.com and if you are especially interested in kinksters under 35, look for TNG groups.

It's pretty good, but I like more direct writing. Suggestions:

"We can chat, but if I like you or have an interest I will move it along to a meeting. " -> "We can chat, and if I like you, I will move it along to a meeting. "
"I really am looking for someone that I can train" -> "I'm looking for someone new to grow with"
"I like to think that my dominance is in my confidence" -> "My Dominance shows in my confidence"
"I'm not into raising my voice or being a jack ass, but I am not a push over either." -> "Quietly confident. I get my way without raising my voice."
"To clarify I'm not crazy and all kink 24/7. " -> Not needed. The rest of your profile makes that clear.

The "I play volleyball every Monday" paragraph is great. It says very clearly that you are a person first and Dom second, and implies maturity that, frankly, a lot of men my age could learn from.

I'd delete the last paragraph.

Also, the profile is mixed between being a switch or a Dom. I'd suggest writing it for just one. If, as I suspect, you're a mix of each, I'd remove that bit about looking for Dominant women. There aren't a lot of them, and I suspect that you'd be better matched with a sub or switch.

Man stuff in the forest? Okay! But first I have to see your flashlight and your knife.

Seriously.

Okay, your profile is a big black square!

But you're in my area, and one of the best munches in town is in Pontiac. Check the events calendar on Fetlife for Northern Oakland County Munch, held at Bo's. (Also check fourth friday munch). There is a very active TNG group in Ann Arbor, as well.

PM me if you want to know more about things happening, I try and stay in the loop though I dont get out much.

Thanks for the corrections and such. I will defiantly check out fetlife, and the munches in my area.

DarkSteven I really like the direct writing.

Also man stuff in the forest is just stuff like chomping trees, lighting camp fires, fishing and such lol. No orgy's or running around... in the nude.

Fishing is good, but I scare the fish... and I was serious about the importance of a good flashlight! I am not loving these new LED ones.

What?!? I adore them. Batteries last so much longer. I'm using the one with two D batteries.

Sure you have have a bright one? 3W (watt) is suppose to be brighter compared to 1W. There is also a number on the package, and the higher the number the better. I have a head lamp, and it's okay for being hands free while fishing once it gets dark. I'm thinking of getting a lantern though.

Your profile looks great--you come across as a real and down to earth person who is intelligent, respectful, and mature, and someone interested in more than just getting your rocks off. It is a good mix of telling people about your life and who you are and telling them about your kink interests. Can't say there is much I would change... although your picture is a bit hard to see, so you may want to upload one with better lighting (unless of course it is dark/blurry on purpose, of course.) So overall, good job! You seem like a thoughtful and interesting person.

I liked it pretty well also. My big question (and this is always my question) is what exactly do you mean when you say a sub/slave/switch. You're apparently looking for anything. Try to remember that those words mean different things to different people. The words themselves are useless. What would help more would be some descriptive text... "what does your perfect relationship look like?"

You have a head lamp? I have a head lamp! YAY!

And I confess I heart my old fashioned maglite style flashlights, when I dont have to carry them long distances. My LED's are bright and adjustable, but the light is not as pleasing.

I have many flashlights, and many knives. Do with that intel what you will.
