~ Fast Profile ~ Back in the day - I would look for a person who represented in their profile a persona that I would like to get to know better. Their communication skills were the initial interest generator. Being able to convey a sense of self confidence about who they were superseded any lack of experience in what they desired, or thought they desired, concerning lifestyle activities. I sought out an interesting person, who believed themselves to be 'submissive'. Their representation as 'submissive' or 'slave' was the only big hole sift that would bring them to my attention. I never took a second glance at their menu of desires. Being a skeptic, with first hand experience regarding misrepresented photos taken 5 years ago, 50 pounds ago, or what they hoped to look like AFTER their gender reassignment surgery, I didn't pay much attention to photos either. My goal was to meet people. The next step in both interest and involvement, was contact, so I would set up a meeting. I had a personal 2 week limit of doing so, to test and determine if the profile poster was looking for on-line fantasy, of which I had no interest, or reality. This policy also eliminated investing any emotional equity with someone who only existed on-line. Common definitions along with compatibility were determined from that real life meeting. You can become interested in a character portrayed by a profile but you can't have a real life relationship with it; for that you have to get off-line, up close & personal.
