That look, that stare that promise of Dominance, or similar likes, that intellect, or way with words is the peacocks feather that snags her attention over that of another Doms..and you have beaten out the competiton for her attention, allowing you both to begin to learn more about the other.

Thank you very much,

It is only my opinion, but it has forced me to do empirical quantitative research to back my observations. Plus RavenMuse's thoughts on compatibility rings true from my experience when I reflect upon it. Competion get the attention, compatibility ultimately seals the relationship, hard work keeps it going. All in all I have evolved my philosphy and thinking and that is more then worth the price of admission. Also the most profound ideas can be measured in the volume of it's detractors. The forums and its interactions have served me well this day, who can ask for more.

There is no tangible benefit to petty sniping, it impresses no one, it shuts out people to network with, and if they are unreceptive enough leads to destructive conflicts no one wins. The cost for that type of behaviour far outstrips the purile pleasure and temporary ego boost it generates.

Frankly I did not do a statistical analysis, I did a general survey.

This survey is by no means complete and does not take into consideration a great deal of factors like: How many are availiable or not available, cross contamination of the sample (multiple entries in multiple cataegories), current considerations, switches as either dominants or submissive, online only relationships compared to those that want face to face encounters, multiple profiles for the same individual/couple, or how much of the sample pool is ficticious.

But the ratio I generated from the sample gives a rough idea how big our pool of prefered partners is to the number of our peers they have to pick from.

To get a real statistical analysis I will have to tap my friend Richie who has a Master degree in statistics, and may bounce this off him to see if he can come up with an accurate analysis.

I took the number of people who joined CollarMe.com (last joined searches) for the last two months. This yielded a sample of little under a thousand people. with the following results

Dominant women looking for submissive women: 97
Submissive women looking for dominant women: 106

Ratio of dominant women to submissive women approximately 1 : 1.09 in favor of the dominants women

Dominant men looking for submissive women: 508
Submissive women looking for Dominant men: 205

Ratio of dominant men to submissive women approximately 1 : 2.48 in favor of the submissive women

Couples looking for submissive women: 107
Submissive women looking for Poly Relationships: 40

Ratio of couples to submissive women: 1 : 2.68 in favor of the submissives

Dominant women looking for submissive men: 125
Submissive men looking for dominant women: 300

Ratio of dominate women to submissive men:  1 : 2.4 in favor of the dominant women

Dominant men looking for submissive men: 62
Submissive men looking fordominant men: 176

Ratio of Dominant men to submissive men 1 : 2.84 in favor of the dominant men

These ratios are in line with my general observations when going to kink clubs but not to munches. (many more couples attend munches then clubs). I am not saying this general survey proves without any doubt I am correct or this is the truth.  After all I did not go back a couple of years or take similar surveys on alt.com. Frankly I have to work and make a living and can not take all my time doing this. But the results do indicated it is more unlikely that a dominant male will have a submissive female as a permanent partner based on random chance and the odds of having multiple permanent partners even more unlikely.  

Now I have had 10 different women I have had real life encounters with some ongoing and some very short lived relationships and this survey result is incorrguent from my personal experience and this is where RavenMuse's theory of compatibility may comes into play. I suspect the permanent ratios may be true and if all the submissives settled down at once a lot of dominants will have no one to play with. But until permanent pairings are attained (compatibility achieved) a lot of us dominants share the same submissives in temporary relationships. I define permanent relationships as relationships of 2 years or more. Bringing my personal ratio of permanent to temporary relationships 3 to 7. I wonder if that is true of most dominants. Alas, that is for another thread.
