I have a skewed view of starting a relationship with a Domme, please have some patience while I explain. From a male sub point of view, meeting a Domme is similar to getting a job. Jobs come around by two primary means, either by networking or by responding to an offer/want ad. Networking is done at the various munches, club socials, and events done throughout the States. This takes time, fishing to find out whose available, if your personalities mesh, and you meeting people on a relatively equal basis. The Domme tends to get to know you as a person first, then as a potential prospect in a relatively informal basis. If it is agreeable to both parties, things move on from there. The second, a lot more common now thanks to the internet, is from the want ads. The sub peruses the profiles on an esteemed site such as this one, finds a couple that he has an interest in based on the type of “employment” he is looking for and sends his resume, better known as a letter of introduction. If the Domme is interested in the resume, then she may ask for further information or a meeting, and things move on from there. Based on this paradigm, the initial contact (resume) has to give enough information to get their interest, but not overly long so that the person starts to doze off while reading it. The next steps can be perceived as a job interview. The sub must be interesting, have their own goals (which will hopefully coincide with the Domme’s), have confidence in whatever skills they possess, and leave a good impression on the interviewer. There are a multitude of books available on how to act, dress, and speak during a job interview and what employers are looking for. They are not looking for a “yes man,” or in D/s vernacular “Whatever Mistress wants” nor are they interested in people using them for their own goals, the “I want this, and this, and you must wear 4 inch or higher heels.” Continuing on, this is a supply and demand field. The more applicants for a certain position, the fiercer the competition is, the more the employer can pick and choose. This is the world of a male sub. Inversely, if there a lot of job openings, say for 20-30 year old female submissives, yet fewer applicants, the employer must either lower their standards or offer unique incentives. I hope I have totally confused everyone with my thoughts. MrPost.
