I am very new to the scene and am currently in an "exploratory" phase. Though my orientation is listed as straight, I'm considering myself bi-curious for the time being.
Given my very much "newbie" status, I'm more interested in educational conversation and making friends at present. Therefore, please do not send me messages asking if I want a Dom/Master or a slave/sub. I do not consider myself ready to take such a step; when I do, my profile will be changed accordingly. And even then, I am not going to dicuss relocation, meeting, or giving out my number in my first conversation with someone. I don't do that with people online in general.
I'm an English major at UAB, currently on break, so I'm having to live at my parents' place right now. Woo.
I love anime and manga (espacially Yuugiou, Eva, and Weiss Kreuz), roleplaying (D&D), and craft stuff.
I enjoy just about all music genres, particularly Broadway soundtracks. Phantom (with Michael Crawford) and Les Mis are two of my favourites.
I also enjoy writing and reading, especially the works of EA Poe and HP Lovecraft.

Hmmm....ya know, a girl can really surprise herself when she starts actually focusing on things.
*insert appropriate emoticon here*
In other news, I should probably start using Firefox to view this site. This browser doesn't let the emoticons, font colour, or background colour things do what they're supposed to.

Wanting a sub or slave is all well and good, but sending a message which is nothing more than a copy/paste of your profile does not leave a good impression.
You want a slave who is possibly a soulmate and who can stimulate you intellectually? Then the LEAST you can do is read a person's profile to know if you have something in common and if the person even WANTS a dom/master in the first place. Otherwise, you come off looking like a complete idiot who's lazy to boot and really just wants to get his rocks off.
And before you come back with an oh-so-witty retort of "get a life or a viberator...........................you def need to relieve some sexual tension," you might want to stop and think for a sec.
YOU are the one who can't even take the time to check a person's profile to find out whether they're taken/collared or if they even WANT a master.
Not to mention, when the level of "eloquence" in your comeback is THAT far below that of your form letter/profile, it leads one to the conclusion that you didn't even write it yourself. I would think that an "educated professional" would at LEAST know how to spell "vibrator." |

Note to all:
Being new or trying to discover what's right for you is NO EXCUSE for rude behavior over email, chat, or PM. It does not matter what the nature of the community is, whether it's a personals site like this one, or something like Gaia, you do not act like a dipshit to someone you have never spoken to before.
Whether you are communicating verbally in this manner, or using "actions" such as this: *waves*, you should always be respectful of the person you are speaking to. Whether that person's profile says Dom, sub, slave, or switch, unless they have given you the go-ahead to do something like *throws you down on the bed*, you do NOT do that. This is especially true when you've asked the person to perform some action, and they have refused. Having that person say "Sorry, I'm not into that" is NOT a signal for you to *grab* and make them do it anyway.
It doesn't matter one bit if you intended it to be "playful." It is a serious breach of netiquette to behave in such a manner towards a complete stranger. And when you pull a stunt like that, your little one-sentence profile of "I'm sorry if anyone feels mistreated yadda-yadda-yadda, because I'm trying to figure out what I want..." will NOT make the offended party feel more ambivalent toward you. It is more likely that it will piss them off further because you are attempting to use your newbie status to "protect" you when you're just fucking rude.
In other words, being a newb is no excuse for being a n00b. |

I just love seeing profiles that say things like "you must be at least semi-literate to contact me" or "proper spelling and grammar a must," when the rest of the profile is absolutely riddled with spelling errors. If you're going to be/claim to be a spelling or grammar nazi, proof your own shit.
I'll leave the last word to Strongbad:
"Y-O-U-R.
Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E.
They're as different as night and day.
Don't you think that night and day are different?
What's wrong with you?" |
