That essential mystery? (13)

MaleDominantCrowd's profile . MaleDominantCrowd group posts

Posted by NimueBanditQueen on Mon 7 Feb 11, 8:10 AM to the MaleDominantCrowd group.

Time to break the silence with a question.:-)

I have read (admittedly a long time ago) the views of one dom bemoaning the amount of information that submissive women put in their profiles, saying that he wanted to discover the information for himself. I know we are all individuals, but I am wondering if there is any consensus here. How much information (and of what sort) is too much?

<Edit> Changed moaning into bemoaning.. damn that predictive text on my phone that thinks it knows best...

But presumably if we left our profiles relatively empty, they'd be moaning about the lack of info on subs' profiles and not bothering to send memos because they wouldn't know if we might be a match for them...

The words "can't" and "win" spring to mind.

I'm not at all sure that there is such a thing as giving too much information in that context (in other contexts TMI can clearly be a valid complaint!). Surely no one could manage to write everything there is to know about them on their profile anyway - people are complicated beings after all - so there is no point where there would be nothing left to discover. There are people I have known for decades who still surprise me. But also, knowledge is power. The more a dom knows about someone, the better equipped they are. I can't imagine playing with someone who didn't want to know more, not less. How do they think they would 'discover' these things for themselves without some input from the sub anyway?

In the end, nothing you do matters. All that matters is what you do.

Usually when I find someone attractive on the Internet, I want to know more about them, until one day I discover a show-stopping incompatibility between us, at which point I realise I now know too much ;-)

Depending on who you are at the moment, two weeks of hoping that there might be something between you can seem better than a second of clicking on the "next profile" button....

Thank you. I found that to be a helpful insight into a different world view.

Thanks to all who replied, you have helped me make up my mind. I'll do what I think, and that will best reflect who I am. :-)

I've never read a profile that contained so much information that there wasn't more I wanted to know. Unless there is an encyclopaedia's worth of space to fill, it will never be enough. Heck, I've made getting on for 3,000 posts and I'd be astonished if that gives more than a thumbnail sketch of the person I am.

There's one phrase that nearly always puts me off:

'You'll find me a challenge'

Translates as:

'I'm a bunny boiling harpy who'll NEVER let you go'

I am not sure what to write, the box simply isn't big enough to show all that I am, pictures don't either.

I am newly single and it is difficult to constantly be talking about myself all the time.

I am a private person who doesn't enjoy telling the world all about myself let alone my kinks, I think it should be a process of discovery with the right person.

I appreciate as much information as I can get.

But I find frequent blogging and posting on threads is much more useful than even the most illuminating profile.

I want to learn how to use someone - to get from them what I want. And I don't (unless dreadful anticipation is my desire) necessarily want to signal what I might do. Learning through reading can be very useful when it comes to an initial, general understanding of the best way to Push someone's buttons.

Of course, when one gets down to brass tacks, things change. But one can learn a great deal from that which people share here.
