ORIGINAL: angelikaJ A.E. I am curious about whether you were told this by a sub or a Dom/me. aJ This information came (with dismay similar to my own) from three female subs at a munch in NYC. We were lamenting about the unfortunate aspects of the scene, and the subject of these sorts of e-mails came up. I thought it was just obvious that nobody would ever take such message seriously, and all three of them said "NO!!! We know lots of subs who are turned off UNLESS the first contact is that brash!". These three women seemed completely perplexed to understand why it was true, but insisted it was. I still can't believe it, hence my question. I would suggest that brash and degrading are two different appoaches. Your profile is quite verbose, if you invest that much time in an initial e-mail you might be saturating them way too soon. Personally, I like a short e-mail that indicates interest specifically gleaned from my profile followed by a small amount of information pertaining to his thoughts on why we are compatible and maybe even a question for me so I don't stare at a blank screen wondering how I want to respond. A man can be commanding in an e-mail while avoiding being crass. A man can also be polite to the point of wimpiness, especially if he over explains himself. Then again, I'm one of those you didn't want to respond to you... In all honesty I didn't find his profile that bad, a bit long yes, but much better like that, you really get a better idea of the Dom who's approaching you etc. The only thing that puzzled me were the comments on the non preference for 'larger' ladies, it might have been that the wording was unsuccessful but the (paraphrasing now) 'I'm fit etc and I have standards' sounded a bit rude. As for the question you posed, AlterEgo69, there might be subs who like that approach although me not being one I can't for the life of me understand why they'd like something like that. BEcause at the end of the day it's not like they will get this horrible treatment only on first email but from then onwards (if they form a relationship of some sort with the 'Dom' in question). If they don't like it how can they back down and say 'You're mistreating me?'. I understand there might be people who like that but I don't find that a healthy approach and one bound to happiness. In my opinion.
