I am pretty new to the scene. I am still unsure about a lot of things and I am not afraid to admit to it. I do not have a photo up and I am not sure if I will put one up. BUt this blog is about too much noise and that is what I feel I am getting right now. I have to say that this is a very intimidating site for the new person. But sometimes you just have to dive right in. I am an intelligent woman and I am confident in myself and when I respond to a man who I tell, after I read his profile, that I am not the right fit and he gets upset it worries me about this site. He tells me that I do not understand trust and obedience and numerous other words. I feel that I can still be a submissive and still have my values. I do not have to give my trust freely to a person right off the back. Trust is earned in my eyes right now. Maybe I am naive, but I do not believe so. I want to experience and express life in this way, but I want to do it safely for me. I am guarded because I am ignorant to things. Aren't most intelligent people guarded when moving into a new lifestyle? Why is everything such a pressure game right off the back. I feel sad that I may never be happy. I am disheartened right now.

Have you never gone out to a club with just friends? Or out by yourself? Did anyone strike up conversation ? Ask you to dance, make a pass (yeah if I catch their hand, they usually regretted that one, but I hope you get the idea. There is no difference in the aspect that people will pursue people, now everyone does not pursue for the same reasons. I did not read your profile, just giving my thoughts to your post. I'm a blunt person and here goes, you are right to be guarded, would you te the stranger in the club everything about yourself ? No you would not. Don't feel like you have to answer every message.
As far as my thoughts on the OP's post. I used to answer every message I got, and I was not on this blog nor Fet.
But I learned that some just folks just want you to spark up, some are full of shit, some are most likely sociopaths, pchsyo paths, narcs),some from the start are not going to be a fit. That's okay, but I always flip to a profile and read it, matter of fact I absorb it meaning I look at groups, writings, that is who I AM. Everyone is different.
I'm not sure what you were expecting, a magical world where everyone is respectful, kind, fill in whatever word you suits your thoughts.
Also many good books and online classes for new people into kink, D/s, and I will say there are some folka here that seem to have a good head on their shoulders, but there are also your garden variety A-holes (of all genders)
