I don’t believe this has anything to do with submissiveness, simply put this is human behavior.

Submissiveness is something spiritual what you’ve outlined is caustic and shadows the unfurling beauty of submission in all it’s patterned splendor.

Edited to add: This is not a reply to SteelBondager but to the OP, how does one just simply reply without adding another’s name, I’m more than capable of doing so manually.

Up at the top right of whatever post on the thread you want to respond to, (for example, this one) if you want to put their writings before yours, (as this one) click quote, then type after the last quote command on the page. If you want to reply to to certain one, click reply instead , and after you have typed you reply, click, ok, and the thread reply to line will automatically revert to the poster you want to list. You can also, click preview to see you post before it actually posts, and can correct it without posting it first.

Welcome to Collarme, Strikingamatch. You seem to be an articulate and reasonably together fellow, so I hope you will stick around despite the largely negative reactions your post seems to be generating. We are an opinionated bunch, but friendly too, once you get to know us.

I'm not surprised the perfect relationship is eluding you. When you approach a human relationship as a chance to psychoanalyze someone, people tend to shy away from you.
Also, your view of what makes a woman who she is, seems rather superficial and misogynistic. You are trivializing submissives, submission and women in general. That is very unattractive.

Yeah but why don't you tell us how you feel about his post Chris??

I think presenting a large theory is a risky way to introduce yourself to a discussion forum.

Specifically, whether or not it is possible to classify submissives in this manner and further whether this series of classifications is correct.

Class 1:
A pain slut. This woman is not a submissive at all, but simply enjoys sensation play.

I disagree totally with this. Just because a person enjoys and craves the "high" that pain brings, does not mean that they are not submissive.

I'm almost sick of the lack of validity to male subs/slaves. Its as if the world refuses to recognize us.

Smiles, thanks I got that but what of the bottom left where it says post reply and fast reply? That is what I'm pressing... ~d~

Hi ~d~,

Well now, sissy is no authority on this, but he believes that your probem is that you are posting while in FLAT STYLE. You EITHER need to only ever use the the "Reply" button in the top right hand corner of the window of the post you want to respond to (that will guarantee that your post will appear against the one it was targeted for) OR only post once you are in TREE STYLE.

In TREE STYLE, only one post appears on your screen at a time. Whichever option you use to make your own post (viz., the "Fast Reply" or "Post Reply" buttons over on the left hand side of the screen, or the "Reply" option in the upper right hand corner of the actual displayed post) your post will appear directly under that displayed post as a reply to it.

In FLAT STYLE, a whole bunch of posts appear on your screen (up to 20 per page - although that might be a configurable option) and so it is impossible to tell which post you are responding to when using the "Fast Reply" and "Post Reply" buttons ... the only definitive method for determining that is the "Reply" option in the upper right hand corner of the actual post to which you wish to respond). sissy Isn't totally certain about this, but he believes that if you use the "Fast Reply" button in FLAT STYLE it will normally DEFAULT to posting your own post against the OP, while if you use the "Post Reply" button in FLAT STYLE it will normally DEFAULT to posting your own post against the last posted post (which might be one you haven't even read if it was posted while you were creating your own post).

So stick to either posting ONLY in TREE STYLE or ONLY use the "Reply" option. Personally, sissy does both. sissy Has never played around enough with the post buttons to determine exactly what using the "Fast Reply" button buys you over using the "Post Reply" button so he is not even sure why there are those two options. If any anyone reading this knows please post and let sissy know.

IsHO, the "Fast Reply" and "Post Reply" buttons should be disabled in FLAT STYLE and all this confusion could be avoided. You also need to configure your profile correctly. Under "My Profile" at the very top right hand corner of the message board screen (where the "Search" and "Log In/Out" options are located) there are three viewing preferences listed:

- Tree Style
- Flat Style
- Simplified Flat Style

Select the "Tree Style" option as your default. For all intents and purposes the "Simplified Flat Style" and "Flat Syle" options are exactly the same except with the former you lose all that member information and avatars down the left hand side of posts whenever you view in "Flat Style" mode. But both "flat styles" work the same way WRT where your post will appear when using the post buttons as documented above. Hope this helped. BTW, you can work these things out for yourself by going to the "Test Area" forum and playing around with the different configuration options and posting methods.

Oh, one last point. The decision of where to post (i.e., which post you want to post against) must be made BEFORE any "Reply to Message" window is displayed. You can edit and re-edit your own post text as much as you want using any of the three methods discussed above but there is NO way of redirecting that post somewhere else (e.g., you originally wanted to post against some specific post, but in composing your message you decide your post better belongs under the OP instead) once you have started composing it. To do that, you need to copy (or cut) your text input so far and cancel out of creating your new post. Then start the process over in a manner that determines the new location for your post (e.g., against a different user or just under the OP) and once you get a new "Reply to Message" window, paste your saved half-composed text from before into it and continue with your edit.

Respectfrilly yours,

sissy maid lola
