ORIGINAL: satyrsnymph28 how many men (and maybe even women) do you think have profiles as both Dom./me and sub? I can't tell you how many, but I can say that I am one of them, although not at collarme. quote:
Just found the profile of a guy I had been talking with for a while... he was talking to me as a submissive... now he has three profiles... one slave, one submissive, one Dom... Same pics... mostly the same general info... just a little more assertive as the Dom than as the others... Is this a frequent occurance? yes, although motivations for it are frequently different. One can be "I'm desperate and want to find a partner and I'll list as everything I can to get that chance" - which is one of the truths about some people that give all switches a bad rep, because then the ones that got burned assume all switches are like that. It can be "I need to have fellow subs to share experiences with and get advice from, but I'm a domme and looking for subs and if I list as a switch I find neither thing I need". It can be the reason I use, which was a desire to have a place to write and journal about M, ask questions as a sub, and say I was "taken" while still having a personals listing saying I'm looking (as a domme), but not having to deal with as many people wanting me to sub to them. quote:
Couldn't he just call himself a switch and be done with it? He sure could have, but until you've called yourself a switch and dealt with all the assumptions, stereotypes, and crap that fall along with it, you probably won't understand why many people choose not to list that way. As for a later post... quote:
he's single... and claims now that he just did it because he wanted girls to write him why advertise yourself as something you're not... it doesn't get the right kind of attention... When what you want is ANY attention from the opposite sex, then ANY attention from the opposite sex is what you need. People lie all the time because honesty won't get them what they want. Chalk him up as another of them. ~E
