Is there a switchgirl in here interested in telling me what you think about my profile? Strong points or questions/suggestions?

First of all, any particular reason you posted this thread twice?

But your profile is well done. One of the better ones I've seen from people who make this kind of post. You come across as honest and knowing exactly what you want. It is almost entirely focused on kink and your D/s relationship, and I'd recommend changing that. Yes, this is a kink-centric site, but keep in mind that you're looking for a long term situation and it's not going to be all kink, all the time.

I would probably remove the last paragraph pertaining to whiskey. It's not related to the rest of the profile, doesn't seem to be your own words, and gives the impression that you could very well be an angry drunk.

The paragraph immediately before that is confusing. It sounds like you're honest in not being a fan of GoT, Disney, or cars, and are not very athletic. Which isn't terrible. But you could stand to expand on that a little more. That's also a perfect opportunity to talk more about your vanilla interests.

I'd also recommend looking for a picture that doesn't make you look blurry and possessed. It looks like an old picture too. Go with something that's more current.

Good luck to you.

Amen to that, Rocka! I second your motion.. And, as I am a whiskey/Scotch enthusiast, that one particular paragraph, came across with strong, prejudiced judgments... to each their own. Awesome that you are willing to project so much of what your honest intent/desire/opinion is, but you might want to refine some of your statements..

Like, if you're going to be so bold about yourself, you are projecting expectations that could possibly repel people that you could make a sincere connection with. No one will ever be a complete, 100% match.. So, allowing to have a space for openness, allows room for growth and development with a new potential.

I'm a Switch, you asked, and that's my opinion ;)

While I like the clear lines you have a for a relationship, this part right here bothers me.

You're a curious girl that knows how to be honest with yourself. Adventurous and interested in the unknown, you're looking for no-pressure conversations about everything really. You can count on me to understand what you're talking about, to tell you that you're smart, and when you're right.

Don't ever make the mistake of telling another person who they are or what they feel, even in a profile. I get what you're trying to do, but it comes across as very arrogant, very "I know you already even though I've never met you, and I say you're A B and C."

What if she's not honest with herself? Nearly everyone lies to themselves in some capacity; I bet you do it too. How do you KNOW she's looking for no-pressure conversations? The first time I met my husband, we had an intense six hour debate about feminism and the female gaze through film. It was absolutely NOT a no pressure conversation, and if he'd tried to talk to me about the weather or a hobby he was only mildly interested in, I'd have been bored stiff.

Now, if those are things you want from a woman, that's fine, but I recommend you restructure your sentences and say something more like "I want a woman who's honest with herself and curious. I'd like casual conversation first."

The second half of that paragraph throws up immediate red flags for me.

You can count on me to understand what you're talking about, to tell you that you're smart, and when you're right.

Dude, I've just met you. I can't count on you to tell me the grass is green. And what if you meet a woman who works in chemical engineering? What if she's a systems administrator? Or a doctor? You are NOT going to understand what she's talking about, not if she goes in depth. It also assumes a serious level of arrogance on your part, that you know this woman you've never met so well.

Now, maybe some women need this, but if you were approaching me and you actually used the line "I'll tell you that you're smart", I would delete your messages so fast your head would spin. Try not to assume that women need men to tell them stuff they already know about themselves. We don't. If she's smart, she probably knows it. Most women do NOT need validation from men.

(Are you sure you're not looking for a super doormat sub?)

Same with the telling me when I'm right. I am a horrible arguer; I will yell and shout and shove facts at you and if I'm right I will continue to debate that right up to the point where I realize you have a head made of iron and can't be reasoned with, at which point I'll kick you out and go draw a bath and keep reading my book.

Stop with this belief that women need validation from men, ESPECIALLY if you're arguing. We do not need our egos stroked like that.

You asked for advice, that's mine. Change the wording of the top of this paragraph, and get rid of all that other stuff, unless what you're really looking for is a hapless sub who needs to be told by her male partner how awesome she is every five minutes. And if that's the case, don't look for a switch. We're better than that, I promise you.

(Disclaimer: I am in NO WAY stating all subs act like this; I'm 90% sub myself. But it seems the OP wants someone who needs his masculinity to prop her up, and he's more likely to find that in a submissive woman than a switch.)
