ORIGINAL: BondageTopJere To KaineD and FnordStrum: Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, moved on, and stopped bothering. The only time I ever send a first contact anymore is because I'm making a very specific comment about something in the profile, and thats pretty rare. By and large, I suspect a new sub on this site starts to completely ignore the mailbox after the first few days attemping to sort through it all if they havent found one of the initial ones appealing. Basically, I refuse to join the crowd of stampeding morons everytime a new sub pops on the site. But, I've got 3 peices of advice I've gotten the seem to work, if you want to increase your visibility and maybe, just maybe, get them to start talking to you first. 1. Do posts on the message boards, but your already hear doing that. 2. Use the journal entries to put down on whatever peices of yourself simply are too long to explain in the basic profile. 3. Login every day. If your lucky, your profile might be at the top and catch the subs eye when they pop into their profile. At the very least, I do get to talk some interesting people [:D] Well I don't tend to send a "first contact" anyway, I tried a while ago on a different site and after getting maybe one or two responses out of all of the messages I sent, well, I figured that it probably wasn't worth trying anymore, then here I figured it would be the same, so yeah. In any case, logging in every day doesn't really work (As far as I can tell), I log in a bunch of times every day (mostly to check if there are any new people or if I happened to get a message since the last time my mail was checked -- which is very unlikely since I have a mail notification thing that checks every 15 minutes, but, hey -- even though neither of those things happen much), and, yeah. I've been wanting to start posting on these forums for a while but just haven't really checked it enough to find topics on which I would have something to say. But yeah, it just seems like on one hand, any female is going to have a ton of messages already and therefore be less likely to care about yours if you were to send one, and on the other hand, because they have so many messages they're less likely to go looking for other people to send messages to. But you know, that's life, heh. (Of course that probably doesn't apply to everyone, but, hey) ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
