Are People Serious About This?

I thought of posting this in the slave/master lounge but I'm not sure if it really fits in there so I'd rather be safe than sorry by posting it in my blog. I think StarShadows helped with this entry as she suggested making a separate thread of this. I look at a lot of the ads in the slave/master area and I am disgusted at A LOT of the ads in there. I have seen two ads in particular that just really ticked me off. I won't mention names but there was one ad for a female Mistress looking for a slave. The only words in the ad were "young slave wanted." There are so many questions left unanswered in this ad. Where are you located, what time zone, what are your likes and limits, what do you look like, what do you want your slave to look like, why do you want to pursue this relationship, what do you want your slave to do, and how young is young? Are you looking for someone who is 18 young, 45 years young (as some people say), or young as in child illegality young? So many questions unanswered. This as got a lot of responses but mainly from people asking the same thing as I did. Yet despite obviously NO effort put into this thread it still got responses for people interested in being her slave.
And here's another example I don't remember what this one was looking for because it was from a while back. This one is going too extreme. In the ad there was one word..."Obey." Are you fuckin' serious?! You're looking for a slave and all you're going to say is Obey?! And I want to say thank you to one of my friends, who will remain anonymous, for pointing this ad out to me.
This brings me to the title of this entry are people really serious about the whole bdsm lifestyle. This is just two examples of the ads that obviously lack any sort of thought process behind them. You know there are threads at the top that show what should go in a good s/m ad. I will say I'm a bit of a hypocrite as I've never read these but I think I have substantial information in my ads. In my most recent ad I put what I look like, what I'm looking for, my likes/limits, where I live, what I am willing to do, I have a webcam/camera/experience. I know I'm probably skipping some things but I am giving my possible applicants a lot of information about me to give them a sense if they want me or not.
Then this goes along the same lines a lot of detailed ads which are very thorough and a lot of details don't get many responses. I got one interested applicant but he wasn't exactly what I was looking for. Yet these ads with hardly any thought put into them get double digit applicants. And I'm not generalizing into male ads vs. female ads. I know being a male it is sometimes difficult to find applicants. But other male ads with no real detail get the same thing of double digits.
And going along with this topic of seriousness...what is the deal with people not responding when you show interest? Thankfully, the past few Mistresses I have applied to have messaged me back to say I'm not what they're looking for. Just like I messaged my one applicant for my Master/Mistress ad to say he was not what I was looking for. That's just common courtesy. I hope that some of the people who put so-called "ads" are reading this and take this advice seriously. This will help improve the quality of the slave/master area. I can't really say if you want to pump out poor quality ads go somewhere else and do it because I don't know of anyplace else besides kinktalk and fetlife. But the ads on those places are usually pretty detailed and you're not going to get a lot of response there either. Look at the top selected ads in the area before posting your crappy one sentence ones.
