When I start reading a story, it automatically starts as a five...
I'll let a few typos and stuff like that go (god knows my stories usually have a few, so I'd say I vote leniently)
I'll gradually decrease the score if the story loses my interest, is repetitive, if there are a lot of spelling, punctuation, tense shifts or grammar mistakes... If the story is very clever or original and keeps me rapt, I'll be yet more lenient...
I rarely score less than a four, but I do like to leave comments, although, i like to comment through choice, I'm not a fan of the forced vote/comment thing. If I had any sort of criticism, I'd be more inclined to pm the writer, rather than 'spoil' the comments section...
As far as votes on my own work go, if I get fours and fives I'm happy. If I get less than that, then like some if the people have said above, I want to know what I could do to improve it, what the problem was...
People always have different ways of scoring and as writers we just have to accept that, it's just the way it works. I feel happy enough with my own work to be able to shrug off the occasional stray low vote... I'm not saying I like it, it's just the way it is...
As has been said in other threads, I don't think the voting system could be improved much really, unless perhaps there was a possibility of a small rating system, like you get on amazon and eBay, where you rate the service, delivery, communication etc out of 5. So you could have grammar, spelling, punctuation, flow of story etc... Tbh, I don't know that people would actually do it, but it would certainly add depth to the scores...
(Someone remind me and I'll post it in depth on the relevant thread...)

At least I know how to spell. Actually look at our fucking profiles you fucking douche bag. We are NOT pretending to be anything. We are actually in love. It is sad that you don't have a woman LIKE me. GO FUCK YOUR GOD DAMN SELF, NO ONE gives a shit. Okay?!?
Actually, I give a shit. That's a despicable way to speak to anyone. You should apologise not only to WMM and The DevilsWeakness, but to the rest of us who've had to read your nasty, vitriolic posts... Calm yourself, woman!
As for the original question...
No, I find cock pictures in a profile very unappealing (in saying that, I have seen one or two which were very artistic, but they are very few and far between), and though I don't swing that way, I wouldn't find pussy pictures attractive either.
Now, in saying that, if a special someone takes a special picture FOR me, then that is a very different story (I still want it to be a nice pic though, not some fuzzy crap (I don't mean manscsaping hahahahahah))

How do you sleep? Usually vest (wifebeater/tank top) and panties (if it's cold, tshirt and fleecy joggies)
How do you like to have your hair? Red just now and it just hangs as it dries, unless I'm going out in which case I'll use the hairdryer and also brush it hahahah
favorite position to sleep? on my right side mostly, but occasionally on my tummy or my back
How many blankets? Have a duvet and a thick fleecy blanket on top of that (I like the weight of it as much as anything)
Which side of the bed? The side furthest away from the door - hahahah, there's a story there!!
What do you want your man to wear ? Me and a smile, oh, you mean a real live man??? Boxers I guess, or naked - god I don't care, there's a man in my bed!!

I absolutely do. Not everytime I read a story. If the story is well written and there is a build up with seduction leading into the sex it makes me very wet.
I feel I owe it to the author to masturbate, LOL!! Why write a sex story if the intent is not to turn on the reader, right?
You totally do!! Read and rub, read and rub, dammit!!

There's a little about this here... Old thread...
It was funny, I was thinking about this on the drive home this evening and thinking about some of my favourite actors, authors and artists and how they often struggle with their mental state.
That can be a temporary thing or a more permanent one.
Think of someone like Vincent Van Gogh for example, his works are easily some of the most recognisable today, even over 120 years since his death at the age of 37 (he died of a gunshot wound, which it is believed was self-inflicted, although no weapon was ever found).
He was spurned often in relationships and also in love and took it very badly. It sounds to some degree that he suffered from mania (and certainly there was religious mania throughout much of his life) - in fact, it reads as though he became a bit of a stalker to the ladies and even friends and acquaintances in question; inflicting burns to his hand and famously cutting off at least part of his own ear, wrapping it in newspaper and asking a prostitute to keep it safe for him.
It is thought that he suffered from syphilis and he certainly suffered from an addiction to alcohol, specifically absinthe.
There's no doubt, in my mind, that he was a genius, however his daily struggle with mental illness made him a very intense person and he struggled to maintain any sort of relationship with anyone; family, friends, lovers, employees and in the latter stages of his life, he mainly kept the company of prostitutes in order to have contact with people in general.
So sad, his life, however, I wonder if he would have been the creative force had became after his death had he been more balanced? (of course, his frustration at remaining largely unsuccessful as an artist also seemed to fuel his depression). I doubt it...
I'll come back later, but yeah Daisy, sure is a fine line..

It seems that the line between genius and mental health is very often blurred. I mean, from great personal distress/turmoil/unbalance can come amazing things.
One of my favourite performers was Peter Sellers. He was an incredibly talented and funny man, but beset by personal demons (many of his own making).
In this performance/interview, you can see that he is quite clearly in a 'manic' state.

Ah, sorry Remember...
I assume that you meant I've had a fight with my partner and he's stormed off and I'm alone and some other guy comes and tries to comfort me?
Well, it would depend... If this guy is a friend, then yes, I am sure he would be a great comfort to me, given that he already probably understands my situation..
If you mean would I fuck him? Hell no! I'm already in a situation as it it!!
