When you post a pic in your profile what do you think you are showing others? Personally, I like to look at what's in the background of most pictures. The background will give me a clue about them as a person. Where are they at? Is it clean or a mess? Are you neat and presentable? Does your photo contain more than a part of your anatomy?

The bottom line is; Do other's also notice these things or am I just being detail oriented again? I doubt I am the only one that notes these details when looking through profiles. Also, why don't people take the time too put any information in their profiles. You would not go fishing without baiting the hook. Why would you post a profile and leave it blank unless you are only here for the forums.

Why do little one's with empty profiles complain that they can't find the owner of their dreams?

LOL…I notice such things as well, Melissa. And I absolutely love a well written, informative profile! Like you, I don’t understand why people don’t ‘bait their hooks’. Even worse, is to send a note hoping for correspondence and only include a line or two. It makes no sense whatsoever. I like when they talk to me!

Course, what bugs me most is the use of real-people avitars. I know it’s small of me…and I do understand some folks cannot, for one reason or another, post pictures of themselves…but I really dislike posting beauty shots of OTHER people. That’s more like bait and switch, in my book. Blecchhh…

No! Aw, man why did you have to say something like that. Yeah just gave me away. Don't look in the back ground of my photo's you'll see a very messy apartment hehe. As far as people leaving blank profiles and complaing about no one contacting them I dunno, some people get a key board in their hands and their comon sence drips out of their ears.

Hm, a messy background might prove that it's not a stolen magazine shot of some model.

Yes, I notice everything as well.

I kinda liked the Avatar but will send photo's if the person requesting them has gotten My interest. I also notice ... a messy background and purple hair (I seem to be stuck on that since an email two days ago *lol*)

I have someone in my life, so I do not post photos as bait. I am a bit of an exhibitionist in some ways. I want him to take photos after he binds me, for example. I am not chumming the waters for doms, and my Dom doesn't mind showing me off, I do not respond to people because they find me attractive. It is like dressing me up to go to a club in fetishwear, or stripping me to flog me at a play party, it just feeds the exhibitionist in me that he knew was there for the very start (I have far sexier more revealing photos on the site we met on...lol).

I didn't really think about the background in my picture. It was taken at a munch, so the wall is from the bar where the munch was held. I guess I was trying for something with little background cuz I was hoping people would concentrate on me. Not showing enough to let people know who I am though since BitaTruble didn't recognize me when I went to her munch!!

Since photography is a hobbie of mine, I too look at not only the person and background but also the composition and the "artsiness" of them. A very well taken photo will grab my attention before a photo of a dick, tits or a great looking face will.

I agree my profession deals with photos and I always notice the background. A well taken photo will get my attention. While your keyboard and messy house will get skipped fast.

I have been a member of this site for well over a year now. In this time I have submitted numerous pics to be used on my profile, they have all been rejected by Collar Me. I have seen far more graphic pics than mine. I am rather pleased that this is a free site, for I never have an issue with one of the better pay sites, such as ALT and Bondage.

I love pics, either looking at others, or others looking at mine. Too bad Collar Me doesnt

Second thought, if I submitted the pic of the vanilla ice cream cone that is under my scene name, would that be denied as well? LOL

To MistressMelissa, I look at stuff in the backgrounds all the time! I hate when I see a cluttered, messy room or junk all over the place. Some people don't realize that they are sitting in front of documents that hang on the walls, such as college diplomas or certificates with their names and schools or business printed in bold type right on them!

To Bearlee, I agree with you about the "people" avatars. Mine is not of me, but the reason I posted it is because it actually looks quite a bit like me! The coloring is very similar.

I actually look quite a bit like lots of other real people, but you don't see their avatars, pics... or their words on my profile. It is about me and not what I'd hope someone else may think I look like in my own humble opinion (as opposed to their's).

What's the difference between fluffy breadcrumbs and bait on a hook?

By the way, pay no attention to that large vertically mounted ruler behind me, or the little number plackard they made me hold.... just look at me!

This is too funny! The males that want to be a house boy.. to cook and clean.. and in the background you see clutter up the walls.. and a half-eaten sandwich on the computer desk.. yup.. a real neat freak.

I look at everything in the pic, and yes, a messy background is something I sometimes notice. It depends on how prominent in the pic it is.My favorite pics are the ones that show the person doing something in their life they enjoy. It tells me a lot more about them than just a fave pic. It gives them character.

I rather enjoy Ms. Melissa's picture. There is true joy and a sense of grattitude for life in that picture. No matter what I see behind the picture, I always try to see what is around the picture. I try to see the energy of the picture. It's much like seeing past the outside to feel what might be going on inside. There can be great things done and seen in a person if your eyes are blind, and your sight went inward. Of course, there are those who will take a picture of themselves in their college dorms, or some backwoods trailor not giving a rats toodledoody what we see in their background. Then they'll post on their profiles that they are meant for a life of servitude with the Mistress of their dreams to serve 24/7, with no limits, no safeword and obviously no self-respect. Obviously products of a social structure bent on moral, economic, spiritual, social and physical collapse. Secularism is as common as people with cell phones talking and walking down a crowded avenue. It seems to me that the person who would expose themselves as appearing on the outside of their body to be clean, sexy, glamorous, or handsome, yet around them in the background of their immediate surroundings is cluttered, dirty or otherwise contradictory of the image they are trying to show. It makes me wonder if they are trying to be deceiving. That's why I appreciate pictures of real people as I might see them out in the general world. I have shown my pictures here, but choose not to because it seems difficult enough to get rational e-mails from people who don't take much effort to read, understand and reply to my profile as I asked for it to be replied to.

Be in peace,
Dame D.

Just keep in mind that what you see in the pics may not appeal to you at all and yet be the perfect bait for someone else. Your post is full of loaded terms that are merely your opinion, such as neat, presentable, clean, and mess among others. As a matter of fact, folks can design their ads specifically so that they attract someone who isn't like you.

The picture I used in my profile was simply the clearest facial picture I have of myself. It is almost a year old, however, so my hair is now a lot longer.

I also wrote a fairly long, revealing profile about myself. Doesn't seem to get much interest though. Almost nobody ever writes to me, and the few who do don't send me an offsite email address, so I can't write them back.
