ORIGINAL: KatyLied ~random thoughts~ I would not be interested in a dominant who was into allowing other dominants to dominate him. I don't understand why people are on a kinky dating, hookup site if they are unable/don't want to make their own decisions. How can someone else decide the best match for you? This is a concern of mine, as well. ******** Generally speaking, this has been a common theme throughout this thread. I certainly don't disagree that those who are not adult enough to make their own decisions in this regard are often unappealing (and the validity of their consent could be questioned as well). I also have no idea how someone else (generally a cyber acquaintance living a thousand miles away) could possibly know what Dominant (a complete stranger also living a thousand miles away) is most compatible. And I can understand why some might feel that they're being asked to "submit" in order to gain access to the potential partner. But I believe the bigger point (in my view) is that the submissive in this scenario already has a Master... her "protector". I don't care how you slice and dice it, in my view they already have a power exchange relationship and I have no desire to be the interloper (even if invited to do so). Besides, if that sort of relationship dynamic appeals/works for her, I know without question that she does not appeal to me. In other words, it really has very little to do with "him" and everything to do with "her". John As mentioned before, this is not a Dom "thousands of miles away" who suggested this to me. It is my first Dom, we split several years ago but have been friends again for quite some time, and he lives maybe 10 miles from me, at best. He and his *current sub* and myself, are *all* good friends (so much so that her and i often hang out together without him). i meant to read through all the recent posts before replying but a few of the above posts make me feel that possibly a very important part of my first post was overlooked. Unless i'm in a D/s relationship with a Dom, i make my own decisions each and every day. Because of this, it is even difficult at times, when i *am* in a D/s relationship, to sit back and let someone else make my decisions. This is the part of my original post that some may have overlooked: [my first Dom, who i still and will always respect, has been observing my struggles here. He has suggested that he could offer me his "protection" or "guidance" when i am ready to resume my search. However, as i've mentioned to him, i believe this could deter a potential Dom. i'm not sure *i* would be so comfy knowing someone might read my personal note to another so why should i expect someone else to be comfy with that?] During this conversation, he sensed my hesitation and then told me that it's a moot point right now anyway, as i'm only seeking friendships here rather than a relationship right now. But, he said we could "revisit" that topic when i decide to search again. So, out of curiosity, i decided at that point to see how others perceive what i have an already formulated opinion about.
