A new highlight

MaybeYouRWorthy has accused me of ageism, age discrimination.

That I am shallow  and discriminatory because I choose to not partner with anyone over the age of 45, which is 19 years my senior.

Keeping in mind that both within the open lifestyle and in vanilla life, I have friends in many locations of many ages, and I consider myself a lifelong student always willing to learn, I find this both offensive and hilarious.

As if a man of his age feels the need to throw sticks and stones just because a girl won't pick him. As if his personal opinion on my profile is the definition of age discrimination.

I find myself unimpressed. Men who have no real legs to stand on should simply keep quiet. I am not apologetic for my personal beliefs, nor do I cower before someone who can spew large words in effort to intimidate.

On to the next..

Dear Bishop1984,

Your profile reads that you are making a sincere attempt to find someone. Sending me a message that reads "nice tits for a young slut." is obviously not the way to go.

When I respond as such, that your conversation is lacking in decorum, the nasty return is something that leads me to believe you don't get shot down much:

"Why? What exactly have you done that is deserving of my respect? Or did you mistakenly think "breathing" was good enough? Because, frankly, you're an asshat. You can't behave the way you do and expect people to treat you any differently."

Since you blocked me as a child does their parents when they don't want to hear the truth, let me spell it for you here should you choose to look.

Common decency is something that I include in all activities of my life, that most certainly includes meeting people. If you consider your commentary to be a compliment you are severely lacking in adult behavior. On the topic of behavior, your commentary on mine is laughable. You have no idea how I behave. Being a part of the BDSM world does not equate to trashy party girls and porn slang.

Grow up.

Sincerely,

T.E. 

Perhaps I'm not cut out for this. People don't seem to have the patience to get a full grasp of who I am, or they assume I will fit myself into a mold they enjoy. When all else fails, it turns into me being at fault, or messed up in the head, or some other story, when it's just that there is no chemistry spark.

Perhaps the art behind this lifestyle is dying, and instant gratification is the new life people want to live. I don't live that way.

Perhaps I'm just a smidgen judgmental, however I find myself a bit let down by some of the people I come across while browsing.

The fact that this is an alternative lifestyle website is no excuse for lack of manners. While the internet is a perfect score of anonymity, if you are seeking to meet someone, there are generic standards of greeting. Insults aren't usually one of them. You're strangers. You don't walk up to a random person at the grocery store and say "bow to me slut." It doesn't work there, it doesn't honestly work here either. A bad pickup line is bad everywhere.

Photos. While important, even if someone tries to deny it, everyone knows we all like to know what we're getting into. I get disappointed when I see "dominant" people with pictures of them naked plastered all over their profile. There's a difference between poly life and porn. You're basically giving yourself to everyone. Have some dignity.

Just your friendly neighborhood general information. Feel free to share with friends.

Let's start anew, shall we? I feel lately as if I spend more time in working mode than should be functional. It does help keep a clear head though, so this is promising. I'm hoping to find some genuine friends here once more.
