Advice for dudes (also known as a small rant)

I have profiles on several websites where I spend some time looking for partners. Some of these sites seem to be more notorious for what-the-fuckery than others. The worst offender (in my my eyes) has to be okcupid, but I do get this on every other site I belong to, just not in such numbers or with such shear stupidity accompanying it.

MEN. I'm going to give you some fantastic advice for trying to find single female swingers, or just for talking to girls over the internet in general. Gather 'round, pull up a chair and get nice and comfy. We're going to be here for a while.

On these great websites that allow complete strangers to come together for various activities there are things called profiles. These profiles give you a ton of biased information about their author. Men, you should take the four minutes it will take you to READ THE ENTIRE THING.  This is my number one pet-peeve.  We girls tend to be pretty forthcoming with the information that we'd like other people to know. Our preferences, our limits, or just some information that may just be really really useful. Take the time to figure this out. It will save you so much butt hurt later on. LRN2READ guys, Please!

It is a waste of both peoples time when a 50 year old messages someone with a 21-40 age limit.  Now the recipient of your message gets to send you a rejection notice.  How does that make you feel? Shitty? You can avoid the situation entirely by READING.  Do most people have exceptions to their rules? Absolutely. The fun thing about those exceptions is that you aren't the person to decide if you are the exception or not. With a lot of swinger couples (male/female couples) looking for an extra girl for a threesome or nine, they will often put a note about single men contacting them.  THEY will contact a single guy if THEY find him and they decide to.  This should always apply.

If you message a woman, and you don't get a response, just brush it off and move on.  Doing things on the internet makes it a lot easier to browse and file.  Sure, its polite to return at least a "thanks but no thanks" kind of message, girls on OKC get such a disproportionate amount of messages sent to them that it gets daunting and old to keep sending that same message over and over.  Okcupid at least labels profiles with a different color dot to indicate readiness to respond to messages (green is often, yellow is sometimes and read is rarely).

Another interested tidbit for y'all.  Men vastly outnumber women on a lot of these websites.  With swinging, it's really because girls don't have to work that hard to get sex (actually, that seems like it's life and not just swinging, sorry guys). Single guys will always have to work harder to swing than couples or single women. This is just how it is.  It has to do with supply and demand (take that economics! I learned things!).  Understanding exactly where you fit into the situation will only help you.

I lost the number point I'm on.  Don't assume things. You remember the old saying, assuming makes an ass out of you and me? It's totally lame, and it's totally true, so remember it.  This is actually a message I recieved on OKC  (the first message I received, word for word). I don't mention anything about sexuality in that profile other than an open relationship.
"I want to paddle you while you ride me anally.

How are you doing?"
The uh.. misscommunication came from an assumption he made.  I mentioned the word "vanilla" in my profile, and according to this gem of a gentlemen only those in the BDSM community can use that word.  My my, wasn't I educated.  I haven't gotten too many of those kinds of emails, but in all reality guys; you are messaging a strange woman. How about you keep shit polite until she starts bringing up the sexy stuff?

On an ending note, everyone in existence should look at this blog, [WhyWomenHateMen]

Just for the record, I love okcupid. It's a great website, and it is the only thing on the planet that made data analysis interesting. (Seriously, look at the articles they write, they are fantastic).  I've met some fantastic people there but I've also met people that make me want to beat my head into a brick wall for forty-five minutes.  Do your part! Don't become "THAT GUY"

The deep end

Warning: edge play of all varieties mentioned. If it isn't your thing, i'd suggest turning back now. I think it's time i've accepted a few labels for myself; masochist, edge player, sick-fuck. Sexual guilt is actually something i've never dealt with before. I've always been very "on my own terms." I lost my virginity at 17 to a boy i really loved because we decided it was a good time for us (he was a virgin too, and a year younger than me). It was a good experience and we were together for a long time but i knew it wouldn't be forever. We're still friends to this day, he's pretty cool. I went through a "slut phase" in college because i felt like it and wanted to. My sexual partners (at the time) were all really cool about it. I had my first MFM threesome and OTHER people were so mad! How dare i let them take advantage of me! ...Excuse me? It was my fucking idea. We were sitting in a hot tub, chilling out (we may have been dr...

Dear Virginia, Fuck You.

The state of Virginia is now aloud to discriminate against gays and other potential adopters as well as six other characteristics. Read the full article from the washington blade here . The Virginia State Board of Social Services voted 5 to 1 on Wednesday to allow licensed adoption agencies to refuse to approve adoptions or foster parents based solely on a would-be parent’s sexual orientation as well as six other characteristics.   The board took that action by rejecting for the second time this year an adoption related rule change first drafted in 2009 by state social services officials under former Governor Tim Kaine.   The proposed change called for banning discrimination in the state’s adoption and foster care system solely because of someone’s sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, disability, political beliefs, or family status.   Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and the state’s controversial attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli, who took office...

Public Service Announcement: 4th of July

For those of you in the United States, a major holiday is coming up; Independence Day. Please remember to drink responsibly, sleep somewhere if you have to. DUI's aren't worth it.  Also please remember to make sure noise-reactive pets are locked up safe and sound.  Leash slips and escapees because of firework scares are frequent for this holiday.  Animals get scared and bolt, going much farther than they normally would because of fear.  Animals generally don't know the way back home.  If you've got a noise-reactive animal you're worried about schedule a vet appointment for some sedatives or try one of the products on the market made for this very issue; the thunder vest. We'll be back to your regularly scheduled sex commentary on Tuesday. Have a good holiday everyone!
