ORIGINAL: Bobkgin As I see it, there are three choices: Competiton, Isolation, or Cooperation. In the absence of those with whom cooperation is possible, I choose Isolation, as competition (and by that I do not mean friendly competition, such as one finds when playing games with friends) seems to me to be an inherently immature choice. No bob is an island! Oh wait, that would make all islands a bob and that won't work either. Never mind. I finally figured you out (more or less). When you speak of competition, you do so in the limited context of your own personal agenda. You are here to find love. All things revolve around this strong driving force for yourself, and you seem to have a hard time separating any one topic from this driving force. When I think about competition in BDSM, I respond with a post: 1) As it relates to the discussions on this forum. 2) As it relates to my experience with things 3) As competition relates to my personal philosophy of things in general. It seems to me that because you cannot separate what you are looking for, from the larger picture, you are limited to just those three choices (competition, isolation, cooperation). edited to correct typos and add: I'm not, in the least, criticizing you for wanting to find love. I am just seeing a repeating theme here, that is driving your responses/posts.
