Of all the selections on POF, why isn't there one for 'Kinky'? And why are the selections of 'for' (i.e, "Hang Out", "Talk/e-mail", "Long Term", etc. instead of about what sort of person you are? In other words, why aren't there selections for "lifestyle"?

Maybe because everyone has their own definition of kinky.
Should there also be a checklist to decide who fits your definition of kinky??

What you might consider kinky......I might just consider normal sex.

There are numerous "lifestyle" dating sites out there......if you have a certain kink you're into.......try that site out.

or......you can just put it in your "interest" and "about me" fields.......

Micki already answered you.

The last thing this site needs is a war between people who enjoy sh.itting in diapers against people who enjoy inflation with people who enjoy BDSM suddenly feeling vanilla and boring.

No matter what you do, you're going to have a group of people belittling a kink saying it's not a kink because it doesn't meet their standards, and meanwhile a group of people freaking out and throwing up in disgust because they're too tame for the kink. It causes nothing but arguments and drama.

My guess is to eliminate the additional mass emails that would be sent out based on sex. After all... a relationship is more than just sex! Have you not seen all the threads complaining about being contacted by those who only want one thing?? Having kink factor as an option on a profile would only add to that. Besides, a person's kink level is private and nobody's business but theirs and their partner's.

If you want everyone on POF to know your kink level, then just add it to your profile. Done deal. But dont come whining on here months later about how women just seem to use you for sex.....

And last... part of dating is getting to know each other. I think POF has plenty of options to choose from in what they provide. They cant' just hand it ALL to you at one quick glance! How fun would that be??? What would you have left to talk about???

I promise not to be mean to anyone under 25 the rest of the week..well next few days.
You are to funny and smart to be 22.

I think some people on pof just need a good colon cleanse.

This is not a sex site per se...Or IS IT? LOL..

Check out hookup.com or bootycall.com for that.
I think people(woman mainly) are here to find more than sex so "kinky" shouldn't be a category and like was said before....What you find 'Kinky' may be 'Vanilla' to some so that category would really be moot.

You can find out before you date someone via e-mail if you are sexually compatible with them by asking ....if they are honest with you.
I came here looking for both a relationship first and someone I am sexually compatible with....and yeah...seeing photo's and knowing their spec's(height, weight, eye colr, hair color, education, do you have a car,income level, profession, alcohol usage etc helped me make informed choices.

And I found JUST what I was seeking BOTH great sex and love...WHODA THUNK!!!!!!!!

If not there would be categories for:
Booty Calls
S&M
Casual Sex seekers
Commitment phobes
Emotionally Unavailables
Hook Ups
NSA sex
You know what I mean....meaningless sex encounters.

Go here and see if this is more your speed.

http://www.hookup.com/

This is what hookup.com offers by way of sexual choices.
Erotic Email or Cyber Sex Group Sex (3 or more)
Erotic Photo Exchange Just Naughty Fun!
Other Sexual Activities Voyeurism
Discreet Relationship or Casual Sex 1-on-1 Sex

Hookup.com is geared towards SEX alone...I'm SURE you'll find kinky people there if that's solely what you seek.If not, I'm sure someone of the people here would be happy to know they don't have to go thru the "bullsh*t" of a relationship to get laid.

Happy Fvckin' ya'all!~

Oh yeah we need a listing for kinky. I can see all the posts on the forums now... "Well in his profile he said he was 42, athletic and kinky. Turns out he was 57, obese and only liked missionary."

Well...if we had a kinky choice and a slut/man whore choice we'd also need 'cold fish' or 'sexual prude' as an option.

I second the man whore option. It would make my life easier to just have that on my profile. I really hate having the whole "oh btw I am a man whore" conversation. This would save me the trouble.

Because POF is a vanilla dating site. If you are after kink, then consider joining one of the many hundred of kink-based sites out there on the www.... alt.com, collarme.com, fetlife, and others... altho fetlife isn't really a dating site, more a social networking site for the kinky minded people of the world... little more upscale than alt or cm.

*smiles softly before leaving the discussion*

(taken from OP profile)

Not really interested in women much over age 30 or under 5'-7".

At 44... good luck with that. *smirk*

I am looking for an independent, well-rounded, artistic woman with a sarcastic mind and an athletic body. I want us to have fun and enjoy the simple things in life. I want her to be able to keep up with me. I want her to be confident in her abilities as a person and as a woman. I want her beauty to be simple and a part of her every day actions. . .I am looking for someone that can challenge me, make me probe deeper, satisfy me and leave me wanting more.


And the above person is going to be a beautiful woman in her 20s? This I have got to see :D Found any candidates?

Wow, to rip into the OPs profile over this is just silly. BTW ronin, there are many women matching what he described in their twenties who probably are interested. It's amazing that some folks don't realise that there are people out there looking for all sorts of relationships, not just the ones you are offering.

LMAO!! Yeah, like anyone would ever check those boxes. Hey, shouldn't "axe murderer" (just convictions, though) be a mandatory yes/no choice, too? And I'd really like a huge red dot to appear on the profiles of all cawkteasers, poossy-teasers, too. Daym, this list could be endless.
