LessAwful's Guide To Be Less Awful

Consider this blog post a bit of a ranty open letter to all the people I've seen on the site that are here to get a quick rush, hoping something fun will happen.

I'll likely expand this post in the future, it's an uncollected mess of thoughts about some of my grievances with other people.

1. Chat first, masturbate after

If you're only going to read one bit of this before getting bored, let it be this. This is important.

Most people, myself absolutely included, are not here to write you personalized erotica. We're here to have fun, and when you message us anywhere with messages like "please i deserve to be punished for being a slut, tell me what to do" or "hey, here's a dare: go and find 3 guys tonight to blow", then no one is going to want to keep chatting to you. It's childish, offensive and very creepy. This also goes for the posts you make, not just direct messages!

Solution: Please actually chat to people you're interested in, and make sure they're interested in the same stuff as you. Most people list what they like on their profile, go have a look at it! Here's a general guideline based on my own views and experiences: If you aren't interesting to talk to casually, then I'll immediately assume that any kinky conversation won't be very fun either. I for one, prefer to have fun with people I'd otherwise consider friends (in the loose internet term of course).

2. Be presentable

If someone writes a message to you like this; "hey, plz dare me, i have been bad and ned to be punished!", what's the first thought to come to mind? Besides all the stuff from point 1 of this post, the first thing would be that you can't write. Sure, I can understand what you're trying to say, but I wanted to claw my eyes out while doing so. Here's the thing, and this is ten times as important in posts on the forum as it is in private messages or chat (those can be forgiven somewhat, it's casual):
It's unprofessional, you don't look serious. And if you don't seem serious, then how should I take anything you say seriously? Did you actually do that one dare? Did you put any effort into this post? Or are you just out to participate for the sake of it?

Solution: Write properly. I get it, not everyone is a native English speaker, it can be hard. But at least try, I'm much more forgiving of grammar mistakes in text, but misspelling is a crime punishable by ten years of chastity (if you find a spelling error in my text, this doesn't count). I'm not asking you to take classes, just be mindful of your language. A simple gesture like "Warning, I'm not great at English" goes a really long way.
Addendum: If you're making forum posts, try also to format your post to make it easier to read. See this blog post? It's not perfect, but it's much better than just a big block of text. Make it look good, it's fun! You'll appreciate the creativity of making your post readable. Or maybe I'm just a nerd.

3. Be honest

Don't make stuff up. Unless you're good at it, we can tell. We know you didn't bang 100 people in one day. We know you didn't do <insert extreme dare that is thoroughly unreasonable>. Or maybe you did, and I'm projecting my own unwillingness to strip naked in a mall unto other people online. In any case, stop trying to brag and appeal to people's fantasies of what they'd wish you'd do. Fantasy is fine, but don't try to pretend that you fulfilled someone else's (or your own for that matter, as it often tends to be). This should really be obvious, it's a pretty universal thing; being honest is pretty universally the correct move.

Solution: Don't lie, be honest, be genuine. I promise, if you're just a genuine person you'll have so much more fun.
Exception: Refusing to share something with someone is the best way to maintain honestly while being private, but sometimes (you'll know when) it's definitely a better solution to just tweak the truth somewhat. A clear example of this is when asked about your job for instance. You might not want to say you're a teacher specializing in special needs kids, so you stick with "I'm an educator". You're not hurting anyone with that, and you remain private.

4. More points to come

I mostly needed to get point 1 off my chest, it infuriates me so very much. There will be more anger though, do not worry!

That bit after the main text

Q: Do you expect anyone to read this?
A: Nope. It's as much for me as it is for you.

Q: Will this make me get all the girls?
A: If that's your concern, then you're probably too impatient to implement any of this advice, and as such I recommend porn as an alternative. Your time is better spent with that.

Q: Do you think you're better than me?!
A: Nah, just less awful.

Q: So you think you're perfect then?!
A: Definitely not. But I do stick to the above points really closely. I bet there's plenty people with good reasons for why I suck. I respectfully disagree though.

TL;DR: Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes!
