The ability to lead is a quality unto itself (as well as a sublime art form). 

A dominant rules.  A dominant leads.  If a man rules you and leads you, he is your dominant.  If not...he is just a man.

It's very idealistic.

Now what will really blow your mind is when you learn that the majority of dominants in power based relationships don't even qualify for half of those and still manage to have successful relationships.

Yes actually; I believe my post stated that I would hope to have at least my equal in most things when considering a Dom that would be able to provide what I need in a Man, a Leader, and someone I would look to be responsible for my well being.
I would like to be able to have social and political discussions. I am a business professional within the financial industry, I would hope that I could easily converse; and share that part of my life with my Master. The same way that He would expect me to understand; show interest and converse comfortably with his profession and his interests. Also as I stated I am not interested in a 6 figure income, but to be able to live independantly, pay rent and common expenses without having to borrow from me, friends or families on a "regular" basis. To have "some" characteristics missing is perhaps something to consider but there are other characteristics that are quite unsettling if they are not present. So Yes my equal is what I seek

Have had some rather harsh responses. 
My own opinions:

Foundation concerns, you have 3 children, the well being and well fare must be a primary consideration for you.  You carry your end on providing for yourself and your own.  Not being willing to accept someone that can't also at least carry thier own weight is not being unreasonable.  It's understandable you don't want to negatively impact your family by taking on someone else for you to carry financially. 

It's not too much to ask that your "Leader"/Dom have thier own life in reasonable order, be mentally and emotionally stable.

Frankly speaking, taking on a ready made family with children is not all peaches and cream.  They absolutely would have to be a special fellow that considers you and yours to also be very special to be willing to shoulder that responsibility. A big heart and wide arms should compensate for much.  Something to consider perhaps....

First let me say thank you for all of your input thus far it is genuinely appreciated.

I also see the need to be clear. I am not looking for a cash cow or some rich and prestige lifestyle. I am a single mother of three children. I work to support all of us. I work hard infact doing whatever it takes to pay the rent and all other expenses. I would say that the man I look to - to be my leader, to depend upon, to fill the need I have to be dominated must have his poop in group. If I can have mine together give my life situation then I would expect him to have his in order. He is not recovering from Divorce, he has no over the top expenses. If you are not incharge of your own life, and be responsible for your own well being how can you be a leader to another, and be responsible for another person's well being?

Many I have found look to this lifestyle as just about SEX and playing scenes. I seek the real life lifestyle, the day to day. I seek the male that not only I can respect but that I can trust can handle his own survival.

Seeking sex is a valid choice. You don't have to want serious relationships to be involved in BDSM, live a "BDSM lifestyle" or be a "true dominant". They just want something different than you.
quote:


I am speaking of a Master, Dom, who has a job and infact makes a good living, however cannot seem to manage his money or his affairs. Who seems to be an impulsive buyer and has no restraint or maturity where money is involved. So much He living conditions are not of an independant nature. Therefore given that I have children, the ability to actually live as Master and sub is more than difficult.

Sounds like you just want a man who is good with money. Not a dominant exclusive quality - like pretty much anything else, some dominants are great with money, others are rotten.
quote:


Perhaps I do ask for too much. Perhaps I view the man I look to lead me and for me to submit mind body and soul to; to be in at least at my level in many things not simply financially. It is the early stages of this dance and all exploratory, where you feel each other out, learn about each other. Yes there are many things I like, yes there is chemistry but the things that I thought should be a foundation or a given seem to be scued.  

If you want someone who will lead you, that's your approach to BDSM relationships. It's not the one my owner and I follow, but many others do. Just understand that it doesn't interest everyone, nor all dominants/masters.

I also really agree with LadyLolly - coming into your situation is hard on any man, dominant or otherwise. While I don't think you should lower your standards, someone doesn't need to be perfect to be the best fit.

So he has to be interested in finance because that's what you do? He couldn't be a graphic artist or a psychologist? Or a geek who writes computer games? Or a chef?

Plus there's one quality that is showing up missing. If you're looking for a partner to share your life, not just a couple hours on Friday when the sitter is over, you need to look for someone who has ums of his own and is intimately involved in their lives. Someone who is not a parent will not be interested or understanding of how little free time you actually have, nor will he be fine having a picnic with the family on Saturday afternoon instead of a romantic brunch for example. And someone who doesn't care about his own is not someone who could ever come to truly care for yours.

I will admit that juggling the blended family needs gets crazy sometimes but it's worth it, for mine and for his. Besides, caring about mine as much as I do, I cannot respect men who don't care about theirs.

Two statements I have read on these boards come to mind
'Men are weak'
'You have to teach people how to treat you'
I'm sorry I can't credit the quotes.

My two rules of thumb for any relationship I have (romantic, friends, D/s) is trust first followed by compatibility.  If I can't trust then I have no idea about the compatibility.  As far as finances, I have a great ability to generate income but an even greater ability to spend it.  I have always worked best with a permanent submissive who manages money well -- just part of the symbiosis that works for me.

Those are great qualities for you to desire in a relationship for yourself.

If you start calling them qualities of a "twue dom" then you're probably missing the point that you need to find a Dom who works for you.  Someone's true Dom will be another persons a**hole.
