boundfem -> Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 12:10:06 PM)

Ok, I am sure this has been covered before, but there is something that drives me crazy on this site (or the other bondage personals site too).  [sm=banghead.gif]
Begin Rant.

Why don't people read someone's profile before sending a msg?  It takes like three whole minutes to read even a very long profile.  For example, there is a paragraph in my profile stating that I am sorry but I am unable to relocate outside of Florida.  I STILL get replies from people in California or Oregon or Pennsylvania telling me they are looking for a 24/7 slave to relocate to their home..
"Are you looking for a sexy couple?"  Yep that too is covered very clearly in my profile.  And the best is that so many of them say, "I/We love your profile."  Did you love the part that straight out says why we are not compatibile in the most basic way - what we are each looking for?

I would think if you are interested in persuing a relationship with someone, you would spend the few moments it would take to see what they have to say about themselves!  I don't just go msging random people seeking a D/s relationship.  That would be idiotic.  Hell, if I did that, I could be sending an email to a Mistress propositioning her for 24/7 when she is only looking for paid webcam sessions.  It's so frustratingly moronic to me. 

And, do these people not have any selectiveness at all? Any profile in pink will do?  Many of these people seem very real so it does not seem that they are fakes playing a game -I get plenty, myriads, of those too.  No, these are people who have multiple real pictures, detailed profiles (why bother writing one, apparently almost no one reads them?) and situations that seem quite real.  Don't they even want to make sure the person they are writing is at least seemingly possibly real!??  A majority of these people are looking for 24/7.. so, you want to persue a very long term intense relationship where the person will live IN YOUR HOME and you don't read their profile??? That is nuts.

I read people's profiles in their entirety and read their journals because I want to find any little thing that would make us incompatible before I engaged in a lengthier discussion back and forth.   I don't want to find out after five emails that Mistress's favorite fetish is loaning her slave out to men for sex.  I don't want to find out that the person I am writing is relocating across the country in six months.  I want to know that first so I can save everyone time and energy. I also happen to want to know everything I can about the person I might dedicate my life to. Silly moi!

I don't get it.  If you are sitting on this site spending time looking for someone, why not take a whole two minutes longer after you look at the picture to read what the person you are potentially seeking a RELATIONSHIP with has to say about themselves and what they are looking for.  

End Rant.

I'm with you on this one.

slaveish -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 12:13:46 PM)

Yeah. This has been covered a trillion times, but no matter.

Master struck up a conversation with me in regard to poly and relocation even though I stated in my profile that I was not going to change my situation. Ya just never know when you're going to strike gold, even when the sign says "Mining For Salt Only!" It never hurts to ask a question - the worst anyone can do is say no ... albeit in a loud, angry, vociferous way.




MagiksSlave -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 12:17:46 PM)

But your a sub you arent aloud to have preferences you are suposed to go be with the first Domly Dom/me that messages you interestned, didnt you know that, your demanding that the person you submit to be the person you want to submit to you must not be a real sub/slave (/end sarcasm)

MstrssPassion -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 12:46:20 PM)

yup... been covered a bunch & I feel your pain. I just had someone write me yesterday & say they took a CLOSE LOOK at my profile & then proceeded to tell me what a good looking man I am... ???

Just be careful with your rants that you don't mention that you plan to ignore these replies or hell & damnation will befall you from everyone on this board who believes this to be rude..




canupleaseme -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 1:05:50 PM)

Ive had about 5 today for some reason. 3 of which were of " Intelectual male dominants"  One of which demanded I get my knees and give him my private email address.  It really would only take these people a few minutes to read my profile to, now i just think it gives me something to laugh about when i'm bored reading them[:)]




thetammyjo -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 1:09:04 PM)

Unfortunately, boundfem, there are people out there who won't read even if it's a requirement for work... not too surprising they won't read on here.

Yes, it is annoying.




Rumtiger -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 1:15:32 PM)

Just accept the fact that there are shitloads upon shitloads upon shitloads of idiots in the world and move on with your life, your mind will be clearer, your food will taste better, you'll have a fascination with multifiber material for some reason, but other then that you'll be fine.

Oh yeah, I should mention you might get an ulcer or two and maybe start shitting blood due to the intense frustration.





MsLadySue -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 1:21:21 PM)

I feel and totally understand your frustration boundfem. My biggest beefs about not reading a person's profile is when I state my age range of interest as 40 to 60 and all the 20 somethings message or I hear from sissy boys when I state quite clearly they are not an interest. I start off stating I'm seeking local single subs, you guessed it, most of my messages are from married men who live hours away from me. Then we have the boys who need 24/7 which I mention is not on my agenda.

Sorry, that's the end of my rant.




Badkitty0810 -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 1:26:31 PM)

Amen Sister!! I've vented about the same thing in my journal entries. I'm thrilled when someone actually takes the time to read what I've written since it seems to be the exception and not the rule.  :)




stockingluvr54 -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 3:42:39 PM)

No comment on the OP .......BUT the underwear in your avatar is driving me nuts.....in a very good way!!!!!!

ANALHONEY -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 4:03:01 PM)

AMEN. You are preaching to the choir. Some guy actually got mad at me when I told him that we were not compatible in the most basic way.

Even if you are trying to answer mail and be polite and upfront, some people are ignorant about it. Read the example on my profile page.




SwitchySwitch -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 4:21:49 PM)

Hi boundfem (and everyone else of course [:)]),

All I can say is you're not alone. I once got a guy who wanted a 24/7 slave and to move cross country. Discounting the fact that I’m not willing to relocate and that it clearly says I have a boyfriend, oh and that I'm a switch.  Also no one really gets the friends only part either… oh well. I still get to talk to some very nice people besides all of the others.

Rafters -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 4:40:44 PM)

*Bzzt* You've made the mistake of overestimating their motives

You are looking at the vanilla tactic of walking up to a total strangers in a bar and saying "Hi, lets leave and go have some sex!"

Sure it pisses off 9/10th's of the sample enough to lead to face slapping, but an erection has no conscience and all it takes is one to say "yes" for them to suceeed (for certain definitions of success)

It's the same principle behind spam and 419 scam's, Sure it costs $100 to spam a million people, but if one of those million pays you $200, you win.

Don't Complain, Exploit it
Bury a weird key to your heart in your profile, that no other profile has, e.g. "..7 accordian playing midgets. And I'd do anything to do it again...". If a first approach mentions this, even it's just a "I'm not a midget" or "WTF?" then you instantly tell their level of interest, without playing 20 questions. [:D]

And try and make it a honest key too, so you don't hurt the feelings of any genuine submissive midget accordian players out there, when they call your bluff.

N4SDChastity -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 5:05:51 PM)

what is this "read" you speak of?




MissOchistic -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 5:06:15 PM)

Canupleaseme, I got the same guy!

Ick.




domiguy -> RE: Rant - Why don't people freaking read? (5/3/2007 5:13:48 PM)

I never read anyones profile...Everday I send out hundreds of "pasted' letters of introduction...Sometimes when feeling industrious I might include their name or some of their likes such as.."long walks on the beach or anal."...I could care less if they are married , lesbos, attached, dommes or are not looking...All I'm shooting for is the typical 1-2% positive rate of return one might expect on such a mass mailing. If all works out as planned  I will be the Mayor of "Pussyville" till 2020.

My letter of introduction and appropriate responses PLUS my informative dvd on just the right form when flooging to avoid lower back problems and rotator cuff injury are all available for $19.95...plus shipping and handling.

If you beeyatches can't handle "the contact" then get the fuck off of the playing field.
