"Lovers all today, just throw their dreams away And play at love They give their love away, to anyone who'll say I love you Don't throw your love away, no no no no, Don't throw your love away, for you might need it someday.." The Searchers Greetings I see two issues here: Live that lifestyle which brings you happiness and fulfillment I'm not Gorean, but I just felt to ask you exactly why you are so heavily into Gor. Is it to please you, or is it to please other people? Okay, the Gorean lifestyle may be something that you wish to explore, learn or adopt, but IMHO it isn't a lifestyle which is bringing you a lot of happiness and fulfillment at the moment, is it? Be honest. Now you might think of yourself as a Gorean slave, but from what I can see at this moment (and I'm sure a lot of others are seeing) is a lonely middle-aged woman who is unhappy stuck with this fantasy in her head. I'm NOT saying this to demean Gor, just saying this is how some of those guys out there - the Jolly Peckers and Weekend Warriors among them - will see it. You get an awful lot of people out there who are thinking only of themselves and are out for their own pleasure and gratification at someone else's expense. Don't be one of their 'expenses'. Get yourself out of the Bargain Basement You have a photo and a profile which is straightforward, and honest, and you present yourself honestly together with your issues - kudos to you. You claim that you're not a doormat and won't be walked on, but is this really true? Do you really respect yourself and are happy with who you are as a person? I'm reading a profile where almost every paragraph starts with the pronoun 'I' and is focussed on what you want and need, and someone looking at your profile is sitting there wondering 'what's in this for me?' And what does he see? I'm going to level with you here - he sees someone with demands, issues and needs. The photo looks as if you've been dragged out of bed at 5am in your nightgown, hence your expression. What do you have to offer? What are the more positive, endearing qualities of your nature? Do you know? So okay, you have issues. So do I, I'm transgendered, I have a weight problem, and I have the 'burglar's dog' type of beauty. But you know I respect myself, and even though I go in and out of relationships and never quite get it right and most people probably wouldn't come near me with a barge pole I know that there are some people who might and the rest can go and shove their barge poles somewhere tight. I know what I want and who I want to be with and I'm not lowering my standards or making compromises for anyone else. You know people look at you and invariably treat you the same way you treat yourself. If you treat yourself like trash, then so too will other people but if you trteat yourself with respect and show you are comfortable with who you are then you will find that people will start treating you a lot better. I think you need to revamp your profile and give it a makeover. The second profile photo (immediately after your main profile photo) looks far more attractive than your main one. The main one really does look as if you've been dragged out of bed and forced to pose at gunpoint. I'd save that look for the lucky guy who's going to wake up next to you, and please smile. Please smile more, you have a beautiful smile which lights up your whole face. Also what are your positive qualities? Are you kind? Intelligent? I can see that you are honest, up front, genuine, and I detected elements in your profile of a wicked sense of humour - am I right? Now you say you can dress up and look good in jeans, but can you maybe prove it with a couple of more photos? How do you like spending your time? Stuff like that.. You are a quality human being worthy of someone's love. I really mean that. But this is coming from me, and it really needs to be coming from you, doesn't it?
