I kind of agree with the previous poster-

1) Don't have a kid.
2) Play with my sister? She's kinkier than me- no problem.
3) Don't have pets- but if I did, no problem. (Grew up with dogs.) Most people can take care of an animal for a few days with no ill effects- as long as the animal wasn't out on the street.
4) Blind date with best friend? Heck, a bunch of my friends are also pretty kinky (no we don't play together, been friends for too long and I'm not gay)- probably be fun.

Akasha-if I think about what you're driving at though, I'm on some other websites where the response would be a no-brainer. Both sites are dedicated to my hobbies (sailing, flying model airplanes.) and both groups of people are notorious for assisting others involved in the same hobby.

So why is this site different? Because it's too easy-there's no winnowing process that gets rid of the wanna be individuals. People can create fantasy personas (and frequently do) and since BDSM casts such a broad net, you're going to get a lot of people who unfortunately can't be trusted. The other hobby related websites attract a certain type of individual who's willing to overcome a bunch of challenges to get to a certain skill level. Hence, these websites also appeal to a much smaller group of individuals who are really much closer in outlook and goals than this one.

Another example would be car clubs. People that join car clubs are enthusiasts about a particular type of car, whether it's a Ford Model A, a Rolls Royce, or an Alfa Romeo. Turns out that they're similar individuals, generally what distinguishes them is how fat their wallet is for which club they join.

I suspect that this site gets a pretty broad cross section of humanity, at least based on the postings I've read and a few of the people I've talked with in more depth. I'd doubt you'd do much better or worse than picking a subway car full of randoms- you might get lucky, and you might not.

Note- I'm not someone who's generally fearful, nor do I succumb to the paranoia raging in the media in a frenzy to sell newspapers, air time, or ad space. On average, most folks are decent- and I doubt that it's all that different here.

I think the problem comes with the word 'random'.
When you ask questions on a message board you get numerous responses - and many have similar advice so you get a majority view - you are asking about a single, random person you can't choose. Huge difference.

So for your questions I would say - no.

Count me in for a resounding NO.

There's one person that I *might* allow to feed my cat, but since we've yet to meet face to face, still a no no.

If names were randomly drawn out of a hat (names of people that post on these forums), would you trust a random person (you do not get to choose) from this message board to:

* Babysit your small child (under 5 yrs old) for a weekend?

* Top/dominate your girlfriend or sister?

* Take care of your pets for one week?

* Go on a blind date with your best friend?

Akasha

Because of the qualifier you used of random person I would absolutely go with a No. The things you've listed require personal interaction. It is far different from asking for advice or opinions where one can take to heart what helps and leave the rest behind. It's comparing apples to oranges. Trusting someone with my UM, my best friend or my beloved dog is wholly opposite of asking for a multitude of opinions and experiences from others here in the forums. I can trust someone's expertise, experience or opinion for what they are.

Uh, no. Talking on a board is not even remotely the same as inviting someone into my house. A random someone at that. I've seen some pretty creepy respondants on here.

I trust a few yes for all of the above. Most, it's not that I don't trust them as much as I don't have a real feel for the type of person they are, so I wouldn't trust them with much more than being open to running into them in public. M

Random (and therefore a stranger) -- no way.

The special friends I've made here -- of course -- but then i know them.

Otherwise -- what he said..lol

As much as I like and enjoy many here, why would I trust anyone I have not
met in person with people that are close to me?
I would not even be alone with random strangers I meet off the internet, much
less expose them to people close to me.

I think (no offense meant of course....ok...maybe some offense)...that's an incredibly stupid question.

No...my apologies...let me be much more crystaline on this subject:

Really fucking stupid.

Sorry...my error....beyond stupid.

The people here are like family, and I don't trust them either. LOL.

I'd trust some of the women to blow me. That is about the extent of the trust I have in these random words representing people that come via this magic all or nothing box.

I understand why you ask this question as we do as a collective ,come here and ask advice from virtual strangers every day...but sometimes ,getting advice from an outside source, eliminates being too close to the problem, or emotional involvement of any kind. so hence you may get an objective viewpoint..but with all that said..you are still an adult and can weed out what may or may not be acceptable or appropriate viewpoints and go from there...You, I think are attempting with your analogy ,to compare apples to oranges...Tempting
