What I Learned About Personals Ads - 12/13/2006 6:22:09 PM

My journey through personals hell has been grueling, but I have
learned a few things!  I'm sharing them (most from alt.com but
a few other places too) in hopes of helping some poor sot who
doesn't know any better than to be genuine:

             How To Get the Most Out of Personals

Be sure to tag your personals ad with a snappy, attention-getter like:
"Hey Ladies, let's get nasty!"

If you are going to use a pic in your profile, use a poorly lit
close-up of your penis - with hard-on, of course.

If you have the option of selecting gender of your partners and
activities you enjoy - select everything. Even if you don't know what
it means, you might like it!

When describing yourself, pretend that you are trying to get a street
whore to give you a freebie, and you'll have just the right tone.

When describing physical attributes of potential partners - shoot for
the moon!  Try something like "Must be petite, Asian, blonde hair,
blue eyes, addicted to the taste of cum and anally-oriented."

If you claim a dom interest in BDSM, come across as the domliest dom
you can be.  You have a lot of competition out there!  Be a billboard!
People do not post personals ads to meet people - they post them to
read ads - so BE an ad.

Another important point:  Be sure to refer to submissiveness as
something graded on a bell curve.  An example:  "I am an excellent Dom
for those new to the scene and those who have reached an advanced
level of submissiveness."

Always, always, always claim years of experience and to be an expert
at helping newbies into "the lifestyle."  Remember those two words -
"the lifestyle" - and use them over and over again, as if they
actually meant something.  Also "the scene" is a particularly riveting
term that might mean anything, so it should be used repeatedly.   

When answering personals ads from prospective partners, use ONLY a
one-line response.  Avoid saying anything about yourself - MAKE the
other person go first.

If you can, try to refer to something buried in the profile of the ad
you are answering.  For example:  "What is your curiosity about
enemas?" makes for a charming one-line, first response that's likely
to get attention.

If you are fortunate enough to secure an email address - send Kinky
Cards by the dozen - you never have to say anything and you can't
overdo it!

And, if after following all these instructions, your intended does not
reply to your response - nag, harangue.  Don't be afraid of sending a
note everyday saying something like, "I expected to hear back from you
by now!"

** note:  The construction of this How-To was completed using only real
life examples.

Very funny! Can I post in on my myspace page? It'll end up getting circulated, I'm sure...just so you know and give informed consent, if you agree. I'd say that it was written by MaryT (or by whatever name you choose).

BTW, be prepared that this thread is moved to the humor section of the forums.

I love it!  You've been reading my inbox have you?
I'm still kind of appalled at the lack of game from men over 40 approaching like this

So funny.....you can add one thing...as a Dom, when you email a sub for the first time, address her as "Hello Cunt or Slut", that will really get her excited!  These are one of the reasons why I like Ignore and Delete.

Yeah, whatever.
I am ALWAYS respectful when contacting subs,  NEVER send shots of little me,  and NEVER use one line greets or form letters,  and NEVER write without having fully read their profile.

Guess what? They STILL NEVER reply. (ok rarely at best)
when they don't, I NEVER bother them again.
I'm not fat, stupid or ugly.

jeez, we can't win for losin it seems either ladies.
trust me.

...but where is that classic line 'kneel bitch'? A pick up line on a par with 'how do you like your eggs in the morning......boiled, fried or fertilised'

As you point in your blog, there are many more male Doms than there are female submissives, more "out" at any rate.  And, in all fairness, the replies I've gotten here have been mostly polite.

@ philoshophy: haha...as if
my flirts are invariably humorous, it just seems most subs have little sense of humor.

Like a recent one I sent read:
"...Indeed I am into astrology bigtime as well...
so what do you think of UrAnus as a whole?"


Damn dude, not even a reply, much less a smirk.

lol actually I jest. I'd never try any such line on any woman, especially here. Even a mention of anything sexual early on gets you completely off their radar promptly.
I know a lot of this is the fault of some of my fine fellow doms, and some of the sure fire flirts they learned back at the trailer park, still, when you take the time to do it right....bah nevermind.

I once complained to a sub I'd finally befriended about the lack of replies, and was told:
"Well sir, you know what they say in Russia?"
Me:"?"
Her: "Tuff Shitskies."


She further explained to me that they basically will reply as they damn well please, and don't appreciate hearing any whining when they don't, as it's their privelidge, and usually indicative they are otherwise occupied, not interested, or have had their fingers amputated since joining the site. Whatever the case, "Ours (as doms/flirters) is not to question why, but merely to eff off and die"
We may not like it, especially when writing a longer note, as I once did, but thats just how it is.

So it does sort of rankle when they complain about one-liners, and guys sayin just "hi" or "yo babe".  If what you send won't get a reply 99% of the time, it's hard (for me at least), to get it up for more than half a sentence.

Um, not sure where I pointed that out, as at last count in my state, there were well over 200 female subs with profiles up, and a good deal less male dominants. Similar nubers at site "B." except its closer to 2000 subs to considerably less doms, if I'm not mistaken. *(always wondered why sooo many more were there.)

It was in the part to people from collarme - and perhaps I misinterpreted as you said something about new submissives being overwhelmed by the number of responses (which is my experience).  I never finished reading it because I got distracted with your videos.

Kneel before me and serve!

you've been checking out my profile again, haven't you. 
alright I mainly get rude e-mails, if I'm fortunate enough to recieve any.
Say la vi, I haven't changed the profile yet, and it's been there for a long time.

MaryT... BRILLIANT!! made my day...I must try the approach you suggest as its very different from the approach i've taken....lol
as for other comments in the thread on the lack of replies from subs, whether a dom writes a one liner or a long email. Well yes, thats life. I try very hard to only contact people who seem to be looking for what I can offer. I then write an email explaining why I am contacting them (referring to their profile), what I'm looking for, and a little about me. do I get replies? Well, at latest count, the last 20 subs I contacted, I got 6 replies. 4 were to say , politely, thanks but no thanks. 2 expressed an interest in exploring further. Does that percentage upset me? No. It doesnt. If someone doesnt reply thats their choice. I put enough in my email and profile to allow them to make that choice. Its nice to get a no thanks reply of course, but again,but I dont worry they dont reply.
