The problem here is the "pollution" by the HNGs, (Horny 'Net Geeks, or insta-doms). They have done so much damage to the community that the subs, rightfully so, don't really want to be contacted by doms that they don't know, because they've been burned too many times. On the other had, I've had clingy, desperate females virtually throwing themselves at me thinking, somehow that I was "the one" for them, which is I dare say, just as annoying.
When I initiated contact with my De, it wasn't to dom her. It was just the beginning of a conversation, after I'd already read other things that she'd written, and she'd been doing the same of my writings.
the insta-doms, (and insta-subs), don't bother putting in the work to make meaningful conversation -- they just want cyber-sex, and to that I say: "go fuck
yourself." Because that's all could happen in that circumstance anyway.
So, I say that it doesn't matter who makes first contact. As long as it's done with courtesy, sincerity, and for the love of God, asexually at first. I'm open to conversation via private messaging, subs and doms alike -- but you should probably read my profile, and maybe an article or two I've already posted here before doing that. Otherwise, I'll rightfully doubt your sincerity. And, what the hell would we, complete strangers, talk about unless we have some common ground?
A couple of tips before initiating contact:
1) Fill out your *own* profile, give some information about who you are.
2) Put at least some idea geographically where you are
3) Easy on the colors and the highlights -- I mean if you're going to hurt my eyes just to introduce yourself, I'm really not interested!
