ORIGINAL: MistressMarie50 I'm not really interested in chatting instant-message style. I'd prefer a cogent email. Chatting seems intrusive to me (as some others have said). If I did chat, I'd echo what others have said: - Please have something to say. Don't expect me to entertain you. - Read my profile before asking to chat. Have something to say about that. (Same applies to initial email contact.) - Be courteous. - Don't send repetitive requests. No answer = No. I normally don't do chats either. In fact, I've only chatted with an owned sub. That's often the biggest mistake a man will make on this site or on a vanilla dating site, the Wanna Chat? intro line (I hate it when chat boxes pop up when I'm right in the middle of clearing out my mailboxes or writing a message. So effing rude.), and a close second are the guys who immediately give out their Yahoo IDs, cell nos. and e-mail addresses, and some even have the audacity to want to cam right away. Over on OkCupid, giving out alternative contact info will get the user's account terminated instantly, for trying to "solicit" females to go outside of the safety filter of communicating on-site. quote:
ORIGINAL: MzWhipplash Think CONSENT. Particularly if you are initiating contact, ask her permission to talk, don't ASSume anything. So don't lead... Not with with a kink story or any fetish or the pace. Write as you woulf for job interview or college application, without being over familiar. Start with my username, write in letter format and have something POLITE to discuss. Do NOT just talk at me. Do not assume because I am an Owner that I wish to Own you or do anything but talk to you. Pushy behaviour gets you blocked. Simple. Exactly. Pushy behavior, repetitive requests for a reply, not taking NO for an answer, these all say NEEDY, GREEDY, and SELF-CENTERED. More than once I've had a guy shoot himself in the foot because he either couldn't wait 48 hours for his message to get read, or started pleading for a response. (This has happened within a 2-4 hour period when I hadn't logged in for a couple of days!) The worst is when their insecurities really come to the forefront with the "Did I do/say something wrong?" as if they can't stand the thought of being ignored and/or rejected by a woman. What this accomplishes is setting off bells & whistles of a stalkerish-type of personality who should be avoided at all costs.
