The other day I noticed something really sad about how this community is looking to a newcomer. I saw a girl online with a description along the lines of “New here. I don't know what a gift is, but I sure want one!”. It's a plague I tell you!
More and more I get the wish for a wordplay. In Germany, gift = poison; I think it would be funny, if all members could give poison as gift. Of course, the person who gets it has to take it!
Thank you for this thread. I've only been active for about a week. Today I was searching other women's profiles to get a sense of what others write for their descriptions. I was surprised by how many state that they won't respond to men unless they're given gifts. To each his own, I suppose, but my thought is, “what's the point?” If you're here just to dress-up your avatar, why should anyone gift you anything ? Having said that, I do like the idea of being able to gift to men.
