This is literally the opening paragraph in our profile.
'I'm going to put this at the top so we don't waste anybodies time. No couples even with a 'hall pass'. It doesn't matter if you're married or fuck buddies. If you present yourself as a couple it's a no. No IR she's not ready for that. Edit: Come on people actually read the profile before you send requests. We've had four couples 'like', 'message', and 'Friend request' us today. Same goes for Ir stuff. No.. Just no. Thank you we appreciate the flattery but no.'
The rest of our profile is very detailed and specific about what we're looking for. One guy last week was almost aggressive about trying to convince us that he was just there with a girl as a 'couple' so they could get into events (so, let's get this straight. You are a liar and like to game systems? There's not exactly a resume builder for us).
Come on people reading doesn't hurt. Granted our profile is long and boring but seriously why waste our time reading your message and having to take the time to respond with a polite 'thank you very much and we're flattered but we're not ready for (couples, IR, bondage, etc) at this time. We do try to respond to every message but it's becoming fucking work.
SMH.... that's my rant for the day
We do thoroughly, we tend to look for drama or combativeness. Then we move on.
And that's a good thing. Just read a bit and if we're not your cup of tea move on. Don't try to be the exception to the rule. I think it's rude not to reply to a message unless it's particularly vile. So I try to respond to every one of them politely with a 'thank you but no thank you'. We've been on there a week and found several guys we match with and are talking to. So I'm not griping about not being able to find someone I'm griping about people seeing a picture, not even bothering to read the profile, and going 'hey whats up?' or reading it and ignoring it thinking just maybe we'll change our minds. We wont.
that was what was bugging me. I mean how hard is it to read and go 'oh they wont be into me / us'? Granted ours read like a college thesis and, based on responses here, I've changed it to bullet point only and guess what? Three couples messaged us. People in general just don't actually read the profile.
and it's never been an issue for us so move along please.
The funniest thing is I'd like to have some couple friends that knew that that's all we'd ever be. First of all making new friends no matter what is always nice but networking is as well.
ya a lot of over reactions on this post. It's not THAT big of a deal but I do have to wonder how people miss in the first paragraph that we're MFM only. Granted it's flattering for a bunch of couples to reach out it really is and I wish my wife was open to that branch of the lifestyle but she isn't and I doubt she'll ever be. And ya I usually have pretty good days. And that wasn't a rant. My rants are sooo much longer
That's good that you do that and ya I actually read profiles when I see a pic of someone I think we'd be interested in.
We're honestly okay with that.
As far as couples with hall passes. We just got out of a situation like that and it nearly got publicly dramatic. Ye olde 'hall pass' got revoked because guy was spending way more time and effort with us than her and we were not informed of such. So we're, I think, understandably leery.
We do thoroughly, we tend to look for drama or combativeness. Then we move on.
Maybe it's perception on my part. I changed it to bullet point for the attention span deprived. We'll see how that works out for us :)
But I do appreciate people like yall who take the time and are discerning.
I'm not an English major LOL. I'm going to change it up this morning anyway and go with just bullet points.
