So why all this? And why create a dedicated tag?
well, it is hard to organically meet people in this space. it's a bit huge and disorganized, and i know a lot of us feel a strong connection between this kink and how we experience intimacy.
if there are those of us who want to date within the community, there hasn't really been an appropriate space for that that's easy to browse, easy to update, and easy to access. If i could make us all an actual dating app i would, but i'm no programmer. so this is the next best thing!
the idea behind the template:
i wanted to give everyone an easy and fun way to put their info out there, without having to think too hard about what to say or how to organize it.
here is a peek behind the curtain on what reasoning went into this template's creation:
[any image that you feel represents you]
i know a lot of us don't want to share our faces publicly in connection with our accounts, but that doesn't mean we can't express ourselves! picrews, drawings, photos of environments that you feel represent you—do whatever you feel gets yourself across to someone
name | age | pronouns | gender symbol | orientation | relationship style
these seem like the most obvious points of identification. i did not include things like height, star sign, personality types, etc, because there has to be something left to talk about.
apps can get too granular with these and it keeps people from getting to know each other, so i decided to keep this part simple
a little bit about yourself
a place to put yourself out there and let people get a peek at who you are, to guage interest and see if you have anything in common
what you're looking for in a relationship
so that everyone is clear on what to expect and if it's something they also want too
because there is something to be said for knowing what someone's sneeze sounds like up front. for gauging interest
a few snz details & snz fun facts about yourself
also for gauging interest
interact with this post if interested [check box] send ask if interested [check box] dm if interested [check box]
different people like to communicate in different ways! maybe you want likes and comments, or maybe you want DMs or asks! here you can specify
because you can keep track of that on your own, and preferences are often times bendy and hard to truly communicate. seems best to avoid confusion so as not to needlessly discourage people before you even know they're interested
location: girl this is the internet. we don't want doxxing.
well. it initially was going to be hashtag feathr, in the style of like. grindr and tindr etc., but a lot of people who can't spell have aesthetic posts in that tag, so i added snz to the end 😂
over all i hope everyone has fun with this tag! i will be posting my own on here later ☺️
