I'm still hoping for a really dominant woman to contact me out of the blue and send me a memo saying: "Get down here and suck my cunt, slut. Now Slave! Do it now!" But then again, perhaps I'm odd? I am the Super Slut, Slut of Sluts. Look on my works, ye merely "a little bit naughty" and despair! | ||

It is only the t'internet, but that makes it all the more important to use what limited channels are at your disposable to project your personality. After all, in the t'real world, we can see, we can touch, we can hear, we can smell - we can also, in some circumstances, taste - but what can we do on here? We can only read what has been written, and perhaps see what images have been uploaded. All this does is give us an insight into a person's intellect, and possibly a very limited view of what they look like (even full frontal photographs don't really compare with the 360 degree view afforded by real life x time). Face it, it doesn't matter how informal the communication: if all you have is a single line saying "I'm me", and a stock photo of a factory in Volgograd, then there isn't that much to go on, is there?

Indeed you are. I think you're fishing in the wrong pond, to be honest - the one you're looking for, if it exists, is marked "desperate, barking-mad Dommes". But then do you really want to dangle your dongle in a tank of piranhas? Only, perhaps, if you are desperate to the point of recklessness. For 'though Dommes be Goddesses, still there are a few maniacs among 'em... Holmes: Meretricious Edited 4 May 11, 12:15 AM by The_Majickian | ||

But by the same token, it doesn't matter how formal the communication if it is lacking in content. Now, a photo of a Volgograd factory might stir my curiosity in a way that cock photo would not. | ||

Of course... One of the criticisms I in my litera... litar... litter... writing career have levelled on many poems that have come my way is that the writer has concentrated on the form of the poem and not its content, so that whilst it may look like Beau Brummel in Alexander McQueen's, cut away the finery and it's still, well, a traffic warden. And so it is - ps and qs are all very well, but there are another 24 letters in the alphabet, and that's not counting numbers, greek, cyrillic, arabic, hebrew, japanese and klingon characters. All have their place, together with umlauts and accents and other marks of language, if we are to continue this metaphor beyond its expiry date. And I agree - what could possibly be meant by a picture of poultry? Holmes: Meretricious | ||

This is where it always fails for me, the 'Hello. I liked your profile. Would you like to chat?' opener, whilst not being rude feels rather curt and lacks flow - I'd like more words; words that make sense, that are thought through and articulate. The whole blank profile situation, I feel, leads me (the recipient) into a dead end as I then have nothing to hook into to begin the next stage of the conversation - The weather not interesting me that much etc. Is it rude, therefore, to invite someone into a conversation and then expect them to introduce all the topics and/or do all the conversing? It's a social minefield! However, I must say, I received a really lovely introductory memo from a man this mornng, and it made me laught in a very sincere fashion - more of those would be very welcome. Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge, where is the knowledge we have lost in information? T S Eliot | ||

Communication skills may vary. My least favourite, which are more prevalent on CM than here, are the ones that have no answer when you ask them to talk about themselves. Profile and messages consist of a physical description, no clues to personality. Some don't even give their bdsm interests. After an attempt or two, I generally give up and assume they just don't have a personality, and move on. Those that start off telling me their fantasies are written off as 'do me' subs. The word 'chat' makes me wonder if they mean exchanging a few messages, or are they going to try to railroad me to a chat programme and monopolise several hours of my time, which I flat won't do. The best approach is a polite message that asks about or refers to something in my profile or something I've said on a forum. Granted my profile here has been minimalised, but the one on CM tells a bit about my interests. If they're looking for a quick session and don't care about my interests, then my interests don't include them. Someone has to come over as intelligent and interesting/interested to get a positive response from me. It's amazing how many will insist on a yes or no to 'are you interested in me' while giving absolutely no information to go on. No, a random generic sub whose only tag line is that he's a sub looking for a Domme is not of interest. Join the other hundreds and sulk. I figure anyone who is interesting enough to have underfoot must be able to have a casual conversation. |
