I'd be content to know which Satanists on LttD are single and which are not. Beyond that, I don't need personals. I mistrust personal ads.

I'd guess it's a matter that often writing can reveal much about the true nature of the writer, even when it's fiction, and so reading another's work gradually over time allows you to get to know that person at least as much as you would on a first date. Effectively, it can be a filter.

(Though like you said, that's not the agenda, just something that happens naturally though the happenings of that board.)

I've seen this question come up from time to time. First, regarding personal ads in general:

I've used them. And I pretty much got the same results as I've gotten from women I met through other means: some were enjoyable and even led to some long-term relationships, some women I couldn't stand, and others just faded away with both parties rather indifferent.

Now, regarding the idea of a Satanic personals:

In theory, I understand the pros. Many of us would like to meet people of like-interests, and with Satanists being such a minority it would seem that we should try a "direct hook-up" of sorts. But I see a few problems:

1) Isn't this what we have things like lesser magic and the Conjuration of Lust for? Again, I've shamelessly used personals, but a Satanic dating service seems a little weird on this point.
2) Would everybody on the list be a Satanist for sure? Who knows if it would include devil worshipers, christians posing as Satanists, etc.
3) Would you have enough people to make it geographically worthwhile? If you don't live near a metropolitan city, chances are you might see only one or two candidates that live within a 100 miles radius of you.
4) You'd still have a lot of the problems that plague classifieds in general: a disproportionate number of men, 90% of the readers of either sex saying "Well I'm not going to post. I'll just read." which gets nobody anywhere, etc.

Perhaps whoever starts something like this should work out a deal with Travelocity!

LOL @ Reverend Shiva!

Thank you for that. (Eve smiles).

Ultimately there's that barrier called Privacy that most cannot get past, plus going up to someone and asking them 20 questions is just sort of out of the ordinary. If there would ever be such, then security would be high priority, and the like. So an Adult Personals for Satanists sounds like a good Idea, but is a complete waste of space and time.

If you want to meet someone, then merely contact them, and get the business out before the pleasure. Lay out the requirments that must be there for any sort of meeting to take place.

Don't ask anything you feel could be as a way of coaxing personal information from someone. That could be looked at as invasion of Privacy, and keep in mind they may very well be able to decide not to answer.

It serves far better then an adult personals site, if you're looking for a certain type of person.

Be respectful and try to get to know the individual first, so as to not offend anyone.

Yep, I reckon that's exactly it.

On a singles site, you see people present themselves the way they think they need to, to attract the kind of person they think they want.

On a site where other things are going on, you see them present themselves in other ways. The more that's going on, the more facets you get to see of them.

Even then it's not perfect. I've met lots of people that I knew first from on-line (sometimes for years), and very often they tell me they always thought I'd be really serious and not the kind of person to laugh a lot. Text-only perceptions can be deceiving.

Well since this is a personals thread, I'm going to take a little advantage.

What's up! Single black Satanic male looking for a single white Satanic female. Not because there aren't any Satanic black females, I just have jungle fever.

These are the requirements:

- must have a big butt. A brotha can't get enough of that ass.
- must shake it fast, watch yourself and show me what you're working with.
- must know how to cook the following foods:

fried chicken
collard greens
macaroni and cheese
yams
bbq ribs and hot links

- must be willing to walk around Compton, Watts and South Central.
- must be willing to go to the liquor store.
- no cuddling after sex. You must get your stank, sweaty ass off of me, walk to the kitchen and make me a sandmich.
- must hustle on the corner.
- must listen to gangsta rap.
- must know how to play dominoes and roll dice.

If you meet any of these requirements, please email me at:
satanicgangstapimp@dmail.com

Come on baby. Let's do this!

HS!

If I was a big-bootied female, how would I be able to resist?

One thing to specify, make sure that it's only the butt that is big, and not the rest to match!

Not only did that statement make me crack up, it also demonstrates the point of my creating this thread.

This is a matter of opinion. Although I'm not in need of "personals" services, I wouldn't hesitate to use them for the fact that I despise having to "hunt" among the muggles

I'm sure many people have met through this site, but it isn't the site's purpose. Not to mention, a personals site would refine the search on those types you may be interested in.

Like a flesh filled menu.

That's what disclaimers are for.

I suppose I should have read all the replies before posting in reply to each one. The redundancy wasn't necessary.
Oh well.
I don't post often.

Good, and fair points, Bill.
