Eh, like I said before, I agree with the OP that it seems rather difficult to get a response, though I'm pretty sure my messages are written quite differently.
I've gotten maybe 4 responses, the first 2 I discovered were bots trying to con me into signing up on a premium site and the second 2 replied in pretty much the same manner so I just deleted them

Well, I did get 2 messages out of nowhere, the first one made me go "No, just... no" and the second was from a woman in NewYork, a bit out of my range

Your profile is focusing on the sexual aspects.
Women like to be treated as women and not sexual objects; that is the same mistake the OP made, btw.
What are your vanilla interests?

I love the thought that we, women subs, are somehow OBLIGATED to answer mail we get from the multitudes of Dom men on this site. I don't care what the message says, if I don't feel like responding I won't. Just because you are Dom and I am sub, does not mean I have to answer you just because you messaged me. Or should I feel speshul because you decided to take time out of your day to grace me with a message? Come on now. Stop it.

That's mostly because I stopped giving a damn about trying to message anyone
Profile had little info but a good sized list of interests - no replies
Profile had lots of info, interests, what a first date/meeting might be like, etc, etc - no replies
I figured screw it, just put up the bits I have there now and leave it
Every message has been some form of a nice, friendly "hey, would you like to chat more?" or "What brings you to the site?", etc

I'm probably just going to wipe out my profile and lurk for a while

Personally I think it's at least a common courtesy to respond, even if all the response is is "No thank you"

My experience is that one in ten 'no thank you's garnered nasty comments in return. How many times do you think we ought to accept being told 'your(sic) too fat to fuck' before we stop replying? The death threats and stalking are even worse.

Men outnumber women here at least ten to one. If your first email, and your profile, don't attract us at first glance, you won't get a second look. Your rant about people not writing to ask you things is like ranting that you haven't won the lottery when you don't buy a ticket.

Beyond that a profile that says you don't know what you want re short or long term, re bondage y/n, doesn't appear dominant.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression and you have chosen to make the worst possible first impression. Your choice and the consequences are a result of your choice.

First, that naked bod you are so very proud of is a major turnoff to me, and would have been 30 years ago when I was a young comely, sexy slut.

Why? Because it screams overly obsessed with self, and that is just not attractive.

Then there is the condescending, arrogant, overly confident tone. Yes, you guessed it, not attractive.

Older women appreciate physique, as well. Mmm - remember those Calvin Klein ads with Mark Wahlberg? (Not you, Aderious. You're way too macho. I'm talking to the women, here.)

<snipped>

They wore underpants, or teaingly unbuttoned and unbuckled blue jeans,  and the junk wasn't out front on the camera, obviously it's been awhile for you too.

Now wouldn't all you women agree that would be better, and somewhat of a compromise?

And all I'm saying is that by virtue of being 1) male and 2) hetero and 3) young, I and anyone
else who fits that criteria will NOT have any success with finding subs on this site.

You really can't speak for the other young hetero males on this site, Arderious.
And since this is about YOU, let's work on a possible resolution, yes?

Since you are still not getting the results you are hoping for, don't you think that taking action
and making some changes to your approach (or your images) would benefit you more than
simply complaining to other men about it? Don't you find it odd that, not once in any of your
previous complaints did you get a male responding in agreement to your theory.

I'd like to suggest that you change your main profile image and replace it with something a
little more creative. You can certainly find a friend to take an image of you (with clothes on)
that clearly still show the shape you are in, but not making you look like a science experiment.
Not only would it be more inviting to look at, it would also make you appear more confident
and sure of yourself (by not imposing your nakedness on unsuspecting victims)
Keep those new creative images up for 6 months, and make note of any changes in your
response rate. I have no doubt that you will be surprised at how much better it is for you.

Trolls are a unique class of internet persona though. They live for attention and when they get negative attention, that's a win in their mind. The more they are fed, the more they eat and the worse they get. The odds that anyone who was here through the last infestation doesn't recognize what's going on with the new infestation is pretty much slim to none.

Oh, I fooled plenty of you.

I'm going to watch episode 3 of "Luck" (I haven't yet made up my mind about the series) and then read "Altered Carbon" - I'm much better at book recommendations than film.

Never heard of it but I'll look into it. HBO puts out some fine productions which celebrate patriarchy and exemplify masculine virtues. Oz, Rome, Game of Thrones...
