The only thing I find tedious is stupidity. If someone wants to open a conversation with 'a/s/l', let them, but seeing it saves me precious time trying to connect with them. I think people on here can connect in many ways, through being sociable, sexual, playful etc. It depends on the circumstances of the conversation, their understanding of the person they're talking to and their own personality and proclivities, but this is a grown-up, not to say kinky site so you might expect a bit of sexual banter as a conversation opener. It needn't offend you. Why should it? Just be yourself and have the sort of conversations you want to have.
Now, Ozme52 is well able to take care of himself, (and I'm looking forward to it) but he's really not an example of the type of thick predator you describe in your original post. He's witty, direct, fun, knowledgeable and sharp as a tack. It seems that's not your type, though it is mine!
