OK lots of things come to mind when I read your post. Without going to far into speculation, innuendo etc...this is as most people have pointed out the internet, and it is a site which is involved with sex which means that there are going to be a huge chunk of people lying for a variety of reasons. Players, posers, frauds, wannabes, people who stay at home and wank, power trippers, and just plain people who wish they were somebody else, the net provides a way for sad people to social engineer themselves into a fantasy realm. With that aside, there are a number of people who are real, who understand BDSM and are also searching. As tough as it is for women, it is equally difficult for men. Face the fact that the majority of people you talk to are probably being deceptive and that will help a lot. Leading with hope and the heart can be a dangerous move in these woods. In general I presume that anyone I am talking to is lying until I meet her. That sounds cold and hard, buts it’s based in hard experience. The feedback you have gotten is good. Domination has less to do than what a person can do with a flogger and more to do with their character. How can someone ask for respect unless they have earned it and how can they ask for trust unless they are trustworthy? And lets right now qualify lying simply as communicating with intent to deceive, whether by omission or commission. Personally if I feel a connection I try to arrange a face-to-face meet fairly quickly. It’s astounding how many people have sudden emergencies when they are supposed to meet someone from the net. I have heard heart attacks, mothers dying, work emergencies; I lost my wallet, and so many others. The funny thing is that in vanilla, in real life, I have never had someone miss a first date, its just not done. The good thing is that if they are lying and you find out quickly, you have just saved yourself a whole lot of trouble and potential pain. It’s easier that way all around. I understand where you are coming from, I remember when I first got on here how hopeful I was those first few contacts, and how disappointing it was when they didn’t turn up, or were far from the picture they had painted through words. In this realm it’s easy to let emotions run ahead of logic, our hearts see what they want to see and ignore the warning signs. Stick through it, I have met some amazing people on this site, good friends, good submissives, its been worth the experience. Nothing good comes easy. Try your local BDSM chapter, that way you can scope out who is there and who is not, and also get to know other subs, they can tell you who is real and who is not. Good luck to you in your search.
