Well, I don't know much about dating sites, but it seems logical to me - they know what they want, so by leading with it, they eliminate anyone who goes "Hell no!", rather than spending time getting to know people who then run away.
...wait, did I just apply logic to the internet? Um...
LOL, yes, but you're probably right! I could understand it if my profile was in the 'hi, I just want sex' portion of the site, but it's in the Relationships area so it surprised me.
Maybe I'm remembering wrong. I could have sworn you had me read one of Kate's logs a while back and she was domming... some guy. Hmm, or maybe I imagined it. ;P
Stop, everything you write is awesome. I'm so jealous.
*hearts you*
Personally, if a guy on a dating site started right off with the sex talk I'd back away quickly. I'm a Big Honking Romantic at heart and I want to be wooed.
What name are you using? "Vix" in Vixalicious might make them think of vixen, which in turn fits in the with dominatrix theme. Also, do you still have posted the photo of you standing next to a woman in body paint? Not that it in any way makes you look like a dominatrix but it does focus the mind towards nudity and thus sex.
It's a simple numbers game. If you have any knowledge of kink at all, they're going to ask, because the highest number of kinksters out there are submissive men. The second highest are submissive women. *g*
I agree with Jack--they don't think; they just hope. And the Internet is a safe place to ask and reach for things you wouldn't ordinarily ask a woman.
Yes I am waaaaaayyyyy, late on all things LJ. I don't even think I've made a post in like 4 months. Let alone read anything anyone else has posted. I'm doing a little catch up reading now.
