A few things.
Religious practice. I don't meditate but I do chant and that can really help me to calm down and look at a situation in a better light. I also love going to meetings and getting inspired.
Writing. That could mean a story for here, or a casual poem. It could also mean updating a blog or sending a nice e-mail. It might even be just posting on a Lush Forum. I revel in language.
Singing. It's a great way to put me into a better frame of mind. If I'm out and about or on the bus or something, I'll often whistle and I like to think that it makes people's days a little better.
Peace. Perhaps it sounds strange but from time to time I will sit by myself, doing nothing, listening to the faint, distant sounds that break the silence. There's a lot to be said for a little nothingness now and again.

Probably not, or maybe just a vague sense of having seen that person's face somewhere at some point. It's weird how different someone can look in real life when you've only seen a picture of them.
And for a lot of Lushies, I'd probably have a better chance of recognising them if they got naked first.
As for if I would approach them, that really depends on who it is. I have a handful of people on here who I'd be delighted to bump into in the real world. With some others, it would probably just be awkward.

Btw, I thought we had a similar thread before...but can't find it, so maybe not...
I think the thread title was called: What were you thinking? Not sure about that but I know it's out there somewhere. I can't seem to find it either.
As for me I have been using that name for a long time. I started using it in college when I signed up for an online dating site and continue to use it. I was looking for a name to use and saw a Korn cd so it just kind of clicked from there.
Here it is!

Do guys really do this shit? After they fuck they ask about the size of their dick? Man, I have been doing it wrong for a long time. I never ask that.
I don't ask directly; I just hand them my evaluation form and ask for it to be completed and returned asap. Then I give her a quick rundown of her performance (strengths and weaknesses, areas for improvement, etc.) In this way, the enjoyment of both can be maximised, should further coitus take place (it never does).
I'm all about efficiency.

I sound like Barry White!
well maybe not...
I can do a reasonable Barry White impression. I sing bass or baritone and apparently have a low speaking voice, too. Can't say that's ever helped me charm a woman into bed (and actually playing Barry White for them hasn't helped much either...).
Perhaps women (please give your thoughts) are actually more put off by particularly high voices than they are attracted to low ones.

As a Briton, I was mildly offended by that particular stereotype that you introduced somewhat unnecessarily - think about arguments for your protagonist (play on the foreign, exotic thing) rather than against his competition. Maybe it was the fact that you coupled it with that phrase, "infinitely preferable."
I think the nature of your main character ("extremely handsome and wealthy playboy son of a tycoon") might take away from the appeal of such a story because he is not relatable (and he sounds like a bit of a dick). The whole thing sounds more like a high-end porn script than an erotic story.
Wouldn't be my cup of tea.

When a girl wakes up in the morning, her hair is a mess and she's wearing some old t-shirt (even better if it's mine); that's pretty hot.
What's even hotter is if she doesn't give a fuck what she looks like and she throws on some shite TV while eating cereal.
EDIT: I forgot to mention... MASSIVE jugs.

Reputation. If you can write something that will get you in Top Authors for a while or, even better, an Editor's Pick then everything you've written will benefit. Now I'm becoming a little bit better-known on the site, all of my stories have been getting more views, more votes and more comments. So I guess if you keep at it and write good stories then the readers will follow.
I've never purposely gone for gripping openers or one-liners but I have agonised for hours over titles before - I aim for original and non-obvious i.e. don't call a First Time story 'My First Time'. Try to make people think, "Hmm, I wonder what that's about." Good titles are important for me (although some of mine were dire, in retrospect).
In terms of category, I like to mix it up a lot so I'm reaching a larger proportion of members. I've written , Gay Male, Straight Sex, Love Poems and loads more and it definitely helps to get your name out there. If someone who mainly reads Anal stories, for example, reads a really good one, they might be tempted to see what else that author has done in other categories which they might not otherwise have perused. Alternatively, you could try to establish yourself in one or two categories and develop a faithful following of readers.
Having many friends who will read your stuff won't hurt either.

The only difference I've actually noticed sometimes, just sometimes, is that male writers tend to make their female characters sluttier than female writers. Men will be more degrading of women than female writers in general.
I could agree with that. I certainly, on occasion, have made my female characters considerably sluttier than was probably realistic relative to the rest of their personality or than was necessary.
Other than that, there are no generalisations that really hold up (especially on Lush). The language used and the level of physical and emotional description varies from story to story depending on characters, situation, style, etc. (in my experience, at least).

Bella, if you really love him, then just do it. Close your eyes and jump head first into the unknown. It might not work out, or you could get everything you've ever wanted. You'll never know unless you go for it.
Let's trot out the clichés: You only live once; life's too short to not take chances. If you don't do it, you might always wonder, "What if...?"
Good luck to the both of you, whatever you decide.
EDIT: Did I mention I'm a romantic?
