One of the eternal problems of unattached Dominants and submissives is how to find their partner. While both face the same problem but the problem manifests itself to them differently.
Problem faced
For dominants, it is how to attract the attention of potential submissives that matches their kink.
As for submissives, how do they sift through all those unwanted attention that they are getting so that they can get to those few that deserve their attention.
General Mistakes
The usual mistake that I know that dominants make is to send a very short message expecting and expecting a reply.
Another mistake that they make is to send a well written long message without reading that's person's profile. While this strategy might yield some responses but it is not a very good idea.
Some inexperienced submissives have a hard time saying no so they get dragged through the mud.
Others feel that they are obliged to reply to every single one of message they receive and they are anxious about it.
Thoughts
With the exception of a few cases, I believe being able to connect with a submissive is the key to a healthy and exciting D/s relationship so I urge dominants to try and understand the submissive that you are going to message. Remember, dominate the heart, you will get everything.
As for submissives, your submission is a precious gift and thus your time too. It is ok to end conversation with people that you think are not worth your time. If they persist, just block them. You need to get through the noise to be able to get what you crave. You can set a time and respond as much as you can. Leave a few messages for a few days and you will see the true colors of the other person.
