Never discount anything until you really give it a chance

OK so here goes me eating crow so to speak.  I had joined FetLife about 3 years ago on insistence from a straight friend of mine.  I created a bare bones profile and looked around a little.  I must not have been impressed since I didn't go back to the site until recently.  After being at the OVR contest, I met several people that were on FetLife.  I said OK let me go back and take another look.  I flushed out my profile, added photos and friended people that I had met.  I then got into looking into the site, the different groups and discussions and now, well I am hooked.  There is a wider variety of things that I had originally thought.  I have had some great discussions, read some good advice and met some new playmates already... Who would have thought? OK so maybe the people that run the site, but I am sure they have thought that all along.  One of my favorite areas is one on DIY Bondage gear.  I have made a few things in the past and had a great time doing it.  Well now I am inspired to do even more.  So what have I learned?  Give anything a good looking over and a chance before you write it (them) off (yes this can apply to people).  So this is what my boots taste like?  Maybe my boys do have the right idea...
