Ooooook. Just because YOU were a 23 yo who couldn't have been a dom doesn't mean the rest of us can't and aren't.

Trust me, you DON'T want to start disparaging on "youth of bdsm" here based on a single post by a single person.

Yo Fury, you beat me to it, but don't you agree, not a bad shot for a 23 year old. The thing that got me was the underlying theme,"I thought I was a Dom but I have just been dumped, told off, insulted, exposed.....or whatever.....by a sub and here I am wallowing in self pity."
When I was 23 I had just read the "Story of O" with a perpetual hard on and that was 39 years ago. Man have I learned a lot since then. At 23 I couldn't have been a Dom even under hypnosis but I thought I was. Ah youth, the problem is it's wasted on the young. But keep a stiff upper and forge ahead...Excelsior!

Random thoughts...

So we're a different sort... governed by a mindset to which none other than our enigmatic selves can truly understand, though it is our ultimate quest to seek out and share the labyrinth of our thoughts and desires with others - or perhaps that special someone (or more if you have them).

No two are truly alike, though cookie cutter versions seem to spring up, preaching to the few who would hear them about their path to domination - mimicking styles read from a book or perused from a website... allowing a snag here and there from some needing individual, desiring to be taken control of. Is there a right way to Dom? We all know the answer is, NO. From the iron fist, to the cotton heart, as long as we have those precious ones that look up to us for our guidance - with a patient mind, resting in our lap - we have done what we set out to do, to Dom.

For in this, we are truly nothing without those who consider themselves our subs/slaves. As every person needs air to breathe, we as Dominants owe our existance to the very ones that make up our other half, our submissives. For what are we without them? And vice versa.

The dreaded day then comes, when our hearts that had been made whole - as if the pieces of the puzzle to who we truly are were now complete - our love, our life, our existance... is gone. As Doms we are expected to shrug it off and except it, to show no sign of waivering... but our humanity tends to get the better of us. Do we chase? Or is chasing something a Dom does not do? Do we let the heart grow fonder through absence? Time can do as much damage as it can repair. Or do we talk, as people in love should do, to work things out - knowing that we are the best for each other.

Chronicles of the once whole, Dom.

There are lots of spellcheckers you can get on your own and use in conjunction with your browser. One of the handiest comes with the Google Toolbar, which includes a lot of other useful items too (such as a pop-up blocker):

You can't really fault the site for not having a spellchecker when they're so easily available on the net.

Ok really off-topic here but this site really needs a spellchecker (guess I'm going to have to cut and paste back and forth from my word processor, bleh). Fortunately my errors here have been typos and not mistakes but I cringe everytime I see them. Arggh

My view on this?? What a crock of horse shit! the author apparently has no idea of what a Master is or what an Alpha male is. It sounds like the scrawl of some one who spends far too much time on line and who does his "Dom" thing there.. Don't EVER make a statement like that whereby some may immagine I'm included in it... I would see that as a gross insult.
