FetLife Isn't the Right Place for Me

I’ve been reflecting on my experiences with FetLife, and I’ve come to realize that it’s just not the right fit for me. Occasionally, I find myself active on the platform, hoping to connect with like-minded individuals, but more often than not, I walk away feeling disappointed.

The men who discover me through my blog are truly amazing. They are loyal, reliable, warm, and kind - qualities that I deeply appreciate. It’s puzzling to me why there’s such a stark contrast between the submissive men I encounter here and those I find on FetLife.

On FetLife, it often feels like people are seeking more superficial interactions. Just recently, I had a wonderful and steamy text exchange with a promising submissive man. I was excited about the potential connection, but out of nowhere, he blocked me. It was incredibly disheartening, and it left me questioning the nature of these interactions on the site.

In contrast, the readers of my blog create a space where genuine connections thrive. I cherish the warmth and kindness that come from these interactions. It’s a reminder that there are people out there who truly value deeper connections, and that’s something I want to nurture.

While I may occasionally venture onto FetLife, I’ve come to accept that it’s not where I’ll find what I’m looking for. I’m grateful for the incredible individuals who engage with me here and look forward to fostering those meaningful connections.

  1. Interesting thoughts. Maybe it is because following a blog is still kind of an old-fashioned long-term relationship? All these platforms are just some "who is online who might be interesting", so more like a one-night/one-session stand. And these platform don´t show a development timeline: When I follow a blog I kind of dive into the life of somebody with all the ups and downs, changes and developments. So it allows to somewhat have a (clearer) picture of the writer behind it and whether or not we are at the same wavelength.

  2. And what is it you are looking for, Tina? Someone to play with? A more committed relationship but still casual? Or a long term, fully committed FLR? Forgive me, but I thought you were married and not straying outside those boundaries.
