Are we being harsh?

Our profile is very clear. It states that we will not respond to messages without a face pic and it also says that we only meet at Amigos so not to bother messaging if you’re not a member. 95% of our messages ignore both of these stipulations so get deleted or blocked. Then we get abuse and called ignorant. Our attitude is that, if you can’t abide by the rules of our profile, how can we trust you to stay within boundaries if we play? Are we being harsh or sensible?

Ahhh, fuck the wankers on the side. It's your life so you can do what you want (within the realms of the law)

most ppl don't read the text on a profile just look at the pics.its there fault for not reading your profile and what you are looking for just ignore them and block the idiots that can't take no for an answer

If people can't repect your wants, needs from the very start then absolutely they won't respect you whilst in the middle of play.

If someone takes any sort of liberty at any point then we won't be meeting them for play. Due diligence, that gut feeling and using your experience are key to protecting yourselves when swinging.

No. I don’t think anyone reads my profile before messaging to be honest. It’s quite obvious.

No, you aren’t being harsh. It’s your profile and your swinging life, you run it as you choose.

No, you're not being harsh.

I use my profile like a filter, if they can't respect what's on my profile, are they going to respect me...

I agree with your wants but some folk think why should I send a face pic when you don’t have one

Your profile, your choice. But you can't go far wrong if you treat others the way you'd like to be treated.

Anyone asking for face pics who don't show their own faces is harsh in my opinion.

I think it's the 'what if they recognise me?' factor that is the problem

In which case it's easier not to message as it's blatantly obvious the conditions of communication aren't being met.

Standard case of fire the same message to anyone within 20 miles, your profile wasn't read, they're not actually interested in anything other than getting a fluke response from anyone. Just use it as a manual filter to catch those Fab can't catch for you.

In that case your well in your rights to block then because they don’t follow the rules

OP. My bio is literally 56 words. Fifty. Six.

A quick Google search tells us that the average adult reads at a rate of 238 words per minute. By rights this means my profile should take approx 14.18 seconds to read.

And yet...
