While CFS didn't do the best job with re to informing members that their profile formats were changing, i don't think they're to blame.

Its the culture, more than the context.

I had AOL from 94-02 and used to cruise their chat rooms from time to time before it became escort central. It was the same situation there, whereby the majority of guys IMing you had no profiles, or pictures, or didn't want to talk specific details.

Its not difficult to acquire or do these things, yet that is always the response given by those types.

What's the answer?

Don't be as sensitive and set your own rules.

Ex: When i make a post to play, i reiterate that if you don't have a pic/profile and are just looking to jack off to my emails don't bother.

It doesn't weed out all of them, but the responses to my posts have decreased dramatically since i began doing this. While the quality of what i'm looking for has grown.

I'm a bottom sexually, but i liken these meeting spots to having their own tops/bottoms. The tops give their info/pics, while the jackoffs receive them.
