Greetings Mistresses,

Would I be remiss to request a profile appraisal, resulting in constructive feedback and criticism, with the aim of improving my profile?

Sincerely,

Raj

When I read your profile (or actually scan it to see if anything catches my eye), I ask myself two things immediately: "What's this guy look like?" and "What skills does he have to bring to the relationship?"

If I don't see those two things, I'm not interested.

Hello Raj,

There are definitely good things in your profile already.  I enjoyed your list of likes and dislikes.  Also your writing ability is good quality.  Here are some more things that stood out to Me.

quote:

As I am new to the BDSM lifestyle, I'll be very upfront and honest about everything I say here.


 
That's fine.
 
quote:


Honesty 'IS' the best policy and any lies that one attempts to pass off as the truth not only sour things after a while, but also insult the intelligent of the person being lied to. I, on my part, do not want to play any part in further excacerbating the mistrust inherent in all relationships that sprout online, and viciating the atmosphere for others who might follow me here seeking to fulfill their long held desires. I've heard that finding a willing other used to be easy in the good ole' days. 

 
This to Me is unnecessary.  Why are you going on and on about honesty?  To Me it sounds like you are a bit paranoid and maybe damaged goods about this subject.  Also who cares that things might have been better in the old days?  That just makes you sound negative which is not an endearing quality.   

quote:


I am a good looking, sane, intelligent and educated single male, of age 30 and East Indian ethnicity, residing in Chicago. I consider myself to be a vey upfront and straightforward individual, adventurous of mind and spirit.


 
That's all very good.
 
quote:


I know you've heard this a myriad times before, but please humor me and hear me out. We all had to start as beginners once.

 
I don't see this as necessary.  Again it's negative and you already stated in the first line of your profile that you were new. 

quote:


Passionate and seriously playfull (and playfully serious!) about whatever I do, I understand that trust and openness are the cornerstone of all human interactions, if they are to be more than passing aquaintances. And that is what I seek, a mature relationship that is of interest and value to both the lady I seek and me.


Well said!

quote:


I could go on about the specifics, about what turns me on and what my limits are, and how I will please and serve you but you are already sick of hearing that, isn't it. All I will say is that, for me, the person I will be with is what counts.


Naw!  Go on about it!  I wouldn't be sick of hearing ways that you could serve Me.  Especially since you are a computer expert and housecleaning expert.  I could hear more about that.    you also might want to include one or two BDSM interests, but that shouldn't be extensive because otherwise you'll sound like a "do-me" bottom.  But this section could be a bit longer, in My opinion.   

quote:


If I'm lucky, I'll find someone ahead of in years and experienced; someone who knows what she's doing and does it for the love of it, first and foremost. Those who weigh dedication and desire in terms of tributes only would find me incompatible. I do not share their worldview. I seek to serve someone who has a firm hand but soft heart, a kind nature which manifests itself through displays of tough love. I believe (and hope!) it's not too much for a person to long for. I can provide pictures if you need. Thank you for reading thus far!

I think this part is fine because you are being clear about what kind of relationship would be compatible for you.  The offer to provide a picture is important as well.  If at all possible include a picture with your profile, but I can understand the need to be discreet.

So there were good things in the profile, but overall you need to stand out more in what you can offer this experienced woman. 

Also getting involved in real life events could help your odds of meeting an experienced Domme.  The Next Generation Chicago is an active group in your area.  http://www.tngc.org/

Best of luck to you!

Thank you, both MasterFireMaam and MissAbby for the suggestions and advice.

MasterFireMaam, I'll add a photograph at the earliest possible. Could you further explain what you imply by : "What skills does he have to bring to the relationship?" Do you mean skills that are handy around the house or strictly those pertaining to the BDSM lifestyle?

MissAbby, I'm indebted to you for giving my profile such a patient reading and all the thoughtful suggestions as well. I'll make the necessary changes right away!

Sincerely,
Raj

No problem, Raj. 

I do hope you will look into local groups as well.  For example, The Next Generation Chicago just had a seminar last Saturday on making BDSM toys.  This can keep your mind active while you are waiting for a partner.   

Best Regards,
Miss Abby

Both are equally as important as are real relationship skills and every day life skills.
