ORIGINAL: JohnWarren I'm not sure there really are all that many "fakes" out there. What is more likely it that people seeking a specific scene tend to label folks who don't want that precise scene as somehow fake. For example, 24/7 as I and many old timers define it (constant overt submission with no breaks or outside time) is very very rare. It is, in effect, an unusual scene. That doesn't make it any worse or better than any other scene since there is no hiearchy in wiitwd. Still, it make finding a partner difficult. What also makes things more difficult is that our scene has yet to produce a Webster, so words mean different things to different people. Again, using 24/7 as an example, I've heard some say they were 24/7 and cyber only. Obviously they have a different definition than I. You know, I'm sure that you're right. "slave' has so many definitions anymore; that's why there are so many people who can't 'find what they are looking for'. Everyone has their own definition, their own terms, and their own timetables for slavery. My problem comes into view when I've found someone who I've invested time in, we've had conversations, and move onto the initial vanilla meeting. It's nothing much, just dinner with my self and my husband. I don't want to just move from online to 24/7 without observing them in a non-S&M setting. I like to see how they treat other people, how they address the waiter, their eating habits...ect., only to be stood up. For example: I began a selection process from which I was interested in 4 seperate slaves. They all knew I would be making a selection, that I was considering others, and that they would be required at least one dinner with me. But when it came down to actually meeting these "slaves", they didn't show. One actually had a conversation with me about how despicable he thought it was when slaves stand up Dommes, and then did it himself. There are a LOT of fakes. All in all, I've been stood up 7 times. And they most often just dissapear from the face of the earth, too. One day I'm sharing with them how my day went, or giving advice to them because their previous mistress beat them within an inch of their life and then left them for dead, and it's made trusting anyone a problem; the next day, nothing. No contact, no "I'm sorry, goodbye." Nothing. You know, Domme doesn't mean devoid of all feelings. If I take time to talk to you every day, sometimes many many times a day, I've developed a relationship with you in my mind. I've not met many people that I don't like. Heck, I even talk to people on here, just because they're nice, and intelligent, and I can learn from them. Being fake isn't just infuriating for some, it's quite hurtful, and it makes me lose any and all respect I had for a slave.
