Why do submissives disappear??? - 11/12/2007 4:47:48 PM

Status: offline 		Greetings, submissives:

I have a quick question.

I haven't been here all that long, but I have experienced, on a few occasions, instances where a submissive sent me an unsolicited message (making first contact), and then, after I replied, just disappeared without a trace.

Now, I can't believe that anything in particular about my response (no profanity or extreme language--and I am a reasonably skilled at writing the King's English) drove the submissives away screaming into the night...!

So, I don't understand.  Why do some submissives do this?

And, do Dominants behave the same way?

Thanks to all!

Perhaps its for the best that they dont stick around?

Sometimes people just lose interest or discover what they found wasn't what they thought it was...Such is life. I've done it, have had it done to me and I suspect most on here have disappeared at least once in their lives.You thought you wanted a piece of fruit,but at the last second decided on the chocoloate and rightly or  wrongly you never explained why to the fruit...shit happens.

I have no answer in all honesty.. sometimes you get messages that you simply will not respond to..and others you take the time to reply to with something more then one line... or 'hello' .. and in the end you receive nothing back..

I've actually experienced the 'everythings going great' then 'poof' in the real world a few times.. which made me perhaps even more .. hesitant.. here.. ~soft smile and shrug~ .. it's a sad fact of the online communication media... many feel they have no responsibilities when they are here... that common curtesies need not be extended... though I'll fully admit that if you send me a message that has webspeak in it, and because I've indicated in my profile I don't like it, that I won't bother responding, I figure the person didn't really bother reading my profile, they just are trying to either a)see if I'll cyber on cam or b)see if I'll meet them for a fuck ~laughs~

Status: offline 		I get messages from needy Dom/mes(Yes, Doms too...even though my straightness is very declared) every few days.  Some claim that they just want to "chat" but then when they realize I'm owned(usually after I mention it) they vanish in th night. They're pathetic, and they annoy the crap out of me when it's VERY clear that I'm owned. If I mentioned my Owner any more in my profile, it'd be HER profile...

Well I guess it -is- technically her profile, but you get what I mean. :-p

Consider yourself fortunate that it's happened early on and you didn't invest much time before they disappeared. I have found through personal experience when I fail to entice them with wanking fodder, refuse to view them on web cam or don't take them up on their most generous offer of a phone number to call before we've barely introduced ourselves, they quickly loose interest and move on in hopes of finding someone who will. Good for me because not a lot of time has been spent in getting to know these types before they vanish. 
It's rude behavior at best and speaks volumes of their character and integrity. Not someone I'd really want to know much less have in service to me.
 
By the same token, my profile is very clear on what I require before I will respond to initial contact. Those who fail to follow through with my request of a photo or have one in the profile are ignored and know when their email has been deleted w/out opening. Those who are genuinely interested will quickly follow up with said photo.
 
When the basic criteria has been met and I feel we are not a good match, common courtesy always prevails with a simple thanks but I'm not interested and a kind word as they continue their search. Many are pleasantly surprised and thankful for at least a reply.

Does it matter? By doing so, you learn that they aren't the right one, and you go on learning and looking for someone better suited to you.

Status: offline 		Yes, dissapearing is an act that knows no social, religious, gender, or racial bounds. At any time, anyone online may suddenly dissapear. This is why the use of the collar has gained prevalence in BDSM society, and why the collar is often locked with a key or combination lock. Some wily subs have been known to slip less secure collars and run about the neighbourhood causing mayem.

Moral of the story: People are weird online. Wait until you can tie them up in person before getting too attached.

Also, if you were a female sub on here, getting contacted by hundreds of men, and you found the one you wanted and were packing your bags to go be with him -- wouldn't alerting all the people you're not going after be the LAST thing on your mind?

Interesting philosophical question.

I don't know.

But, are we fish?

Actually, that's kind of my point...  Except, in the reverse!

I've been on personals sites in the vanilla world (Yahoo Personals, Black People Meet, etc.), and in my experience that doesn't happen on vanilla sites.  At least, not to this extent.

If this "phenomenon" was the same thing as happened on vanilla sites, I wouldn't be surprised by it.  I would have expected it.

But, in my experience, if  a woman contacts me on a vanilla site, and I respond in a moderately civilized and intelligent way (as I always do, of course!), she'll write back and continue the conversation.  Why else would she have bothered to contact me in the first place?

Here, though, it's something else...

Baffles me!

Status: offline 		Well, I guess it only matters for two reasons.

First, even to the thicker-skinned amongst us, I think it's at least mildly hurtful.

Second, it matters because it makes everything around here feel so damned crazy!

If people appear, drop you a message, and then, after you've taken the time to respond to their message, disappear at the drop of a hat (or at the click of a mouse, whichever is faster), then how can you trust that anyone is going to remain long enough to justify investing some of your time and energy into getting to know them???

It's scary to think that you would actually put some of your "self" into getting to know someone, and then they just go "poof" into cyberspace!!!

People have their reasons for what they do....and sometimes they are just bad mannered.
Cest la vive.

I wish you better luck in the future.
