Pet peeves...well, all the usual things. But I have also noticed a trend among some submissives that I've come to call "Looking for Mistress Right". Essentially, when you start talking with a man, you discover that he is looking for someone "worthy" of his submission. There are all sorts of things this woman has to be, but overall it's understood that this female paragon is expected to be physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, politically and sexually perfect, and to meet his exacting standards in every way. She's the embodiment of a fantasy, not a human being. Initially it might be flattering to be mistaken for such a woman, but in general once a man hints at this mindset, I take it as a warning flag. As time goes by I will probably take it as a reason to punch out of the conversation. It could just be that these men are paragons of perfection themselves, and are seeking what they offer--but I'm repulsed by that kind of narcissism anyway. And I must observe that having such a high standard is a very effective defense mechanism against having to really face and explore your submissive feelings in real life. It's also a very effective defense mechanism against having real love in your life. Love seldom arrives in the expected packaging, in my experience. Unless the only love you're capable of feeling is for shiny wrapping paper.
