Edited as got some profile names mixed up. Apologies. My profile, as a perfect example, is very to the point. It always has been right from me joining. When I joined I had a playmate, and he was a part of my life for over six years. I had no intention at all in involving anyone else in my life. He was complicated enough for anyone. My profile clearly stated I was here for the forums only. You'd think that's all that is needed, right? No, wrong. Because men are shit at reading. They think they are so damn special that I'll go against what I've put just for them. So I started adding little qualifications to my profile, and it really couldn't have screamed 'Fuck off' any louder than if I'd actually written those words. Then do you know what happens? You get some other dick head trying to tell me how I should run my profile. That it's all my fault because I choose to have a photo of myself on MY profile. Uuummmm, except that I spent a lot of my life with body image issues, and my photo is there for MY benefit, and the 'I don't want YOU' is there for YOUR benefit. Telling me I shouldn't have a photo of myself in fetish gear on a kink site is like telling me I can't wear certain clothing because of course I then deserve to get raped. Alternatively, men could just read profiles, and respect what is there, then maybe we wouldn't have lost our patience so very long ago and treat virtually everyone the same. I say virtually, but mostly I ignore the fuckwits that message me. I delete without reading all their nonsense too. Occasionally though I reply, and it's because I've either had a compliment, or my sarcasm button got flipped. Last night a guy asked me if I'm real. My answer was 'It depends on which theory you subscribe to, so yes, no, and infinitely.' He replied back saying he was just checking because there are so many fakes. Now as I'm not looking for anyone why would I have reason to pretend to be anything other than me. Also, I don't know what he thought he was going to do from Atlanta when I'm in the UK. See how this crap works for us now? Needles
