but surely there are more important criteria in this lifestyle than knowing the difference between 'your' and 'you’re'.

You mean like being intelligent enough to know the difference between "your" and "you're"?

Personally, I wanted someone that was intelligent and able to communicate regardless of the method.

Here's part two of that whole thing: How long does it take to go back and proof read what you've written? A minute maybe? You're saying that you're unwilling to spend an extra minute to be concerned about how you're viewed. It's about effort. And I'm not willing to be with someone that doesn't make the effort.

Exactly! And I never make such efforts. I'm sure my postings are laden with various grammatical and typographical errors. I don't find such things important unless it's bad enough to hinder reading comprehension. Which means that you and I would be a bad match for each other... just like a bajillion other things.

What I don't get is why kalthus thinks that is remarkable in any way. Some folks are fussy about grammar. Others??? not so much.

You know what kalthus. I agree with you. Or, wait.. I'd say it differently. I find people who like to snipe at other people on the internet over comma placement to be unsuitable partners for me. To me it looks like the "You're stupid, nyah nyah!" school of debate. Unlike you, I just don't generalize that to anything beyond myself and who I'd want for a friend or lover.

These are My feelings, exactly. I know very well that I make mistakes, including grammatical ones. I've had people call Me on them as well. Yet, I really can't recall the last time anyone accused Me of being a poor Dominant or even a bad top. I'll even cop to making mistakes in those areas, too. Perfection, or the illusion of such, doesn't suit Me.

This is just another example of how raging against the clueless in profile text winds up being completely counterproductive.

Yeah, all you women get flooded with messages of exceptionally low quality by males who demonstrate their complete hopelessness at every turn.

However, in order to see your rant about how much you don't want to talk to them, they would have to actually read your profile text to begin with, which you already know that they aren't doing in the first place.

Stupid people, fakes, liars, and other undesirables are not deterred by such things. And if they were, do you actually want to inform them how to get you to take them seriously?

The only guys who are deterred, are the simple regular guys who are self aware enough to realize that they aren't perfect, have flaws, make mistakes, and typically get dismissed out of hand for not living up to some unrealistic ideal.

The population of Super-Doms is pretty small to begin with, and if you are holding out only for one of them... good luck, you better be the perfect sub.

If, however, you are also one of those flawed, imperfect, actual human beings, then your rants against the idiots are only going to discourage the very population of guys that you are most likely to find a compatible match with.

Ignoring the stupid people involves genuinely ignoring them, not filling your profile text with rants about how much you hate them. Even worse is to send them messages blasting them for their stupidity, which is only giving them the attention that they want to begin with, thus rewarding bad behaviour.

A bit off topic, but I need to add something for NBMG: You keep getting better and better; it's been a delight being able to track your progression as a dominant female. There is a radiance to you these days, you just exude strong female fully attuned to your dominant voice, yet not in the least afraid to show a softer side.

Males here who think that they don't need to make a good impression make a bad one. Those are your options. And this is very different than chatting on a thread.

I would like to point out that there is a vast difference between Jeff or Greedy or Lady Pact responding to a thread, and someone's first email.

Again, your first email is like your intro job interview. You want it to be as good as possible so that they write you back, or call you in to interview with the big boss.

When I'm here, talking to friends, I just need it readable. I don't need it perfect. But if this was my resume, I would want it perfect. When a male here writes a female, it is exactly like a company posting a job opening and getting hundreds of resumes. They will look through the resumes to find a reason to toss it, because there are so many more that are equally capable. Women here do just that. They have to, in order to reduce the number of emails to a reasonable amount to weed through. Aurum, we know damn well we aren't perfect. But if you want a sub who will try her best to please you, then you had better be showing your best side also. Because we deserve that as much as you do.

And those who have the slightest idea what making a good impression looks like doesn't need to see a three paragraph rant about how text speak is stupid to reach that conclusion.

Employers don't put, "No Text Speak on Resumes," in their job opening advertisements. They just trash them.
