How many of you have googled a Dominant? Am i psycho for doing it? Am i just playing it safe?

what can Google tell me that i couldn't get by asking the dominant in question myself? no you're not playing it safe ...and yes, i would think you're a psycho for doing it.

Why on earth would a Dominant get SOOOO mad, that He would drop all communications.

why - it probably demonstrates your lack of communication skills and trust ...imho

In my case googling me is almost pointless.First, there are at least 2 authors with my name so it take 50 some pages to get to me. When you finally do? all there is my divorce decree..lol. Since I will tell you that anyway, I don't see how it helps.

I google everyone and expect them to do the same. It's common sense, they can tell you anything. I also google screen names and emails. Being snoopy makes you smart. I have no shame or guilt in saying that either. If it bothers the person I'm with then perhaps I need to think twice on my reasons for being with them.
I was also with a man who got angry when he found out that I had done this. He told me that if I couldn't trust what he told me then why bother. I replied that if he had nothing to hide and was as open as he claimed, then it shouldn't be a problem and he should be pleased with the fact that I took it upon myself to be smart.
I'm learning that those three words....safe,sane, consensual.....have just as much meaning outside of a scene as inside.
The fact that you're a single Mother allows you to be that much more careful...it's not just your life. Good luck and continue to be smart and safe.

I google everybody, usually just for a laugh, but when meeting off the net I usually research the person a bit. If they have things they don't want me to know about, then they'd best not try to meet me. I don't deal in secrets.

If he's mad, it should be at himself. You did nothing wrong at all, and should be commended for being upfront about what you found and bringing it to his attention. If it's just from one girl it may only be gossip, in which case why would he be mad? He could have simply explained to you that he had a bad deal with this girl once upon a time. I'd say take his reaction as a healthy wakeup call and start looking hard at him before you get in too deep.

I think googling nowadays is on par with looking someone up in the phonebook in the 70s, in a way. but, this isn't the issue here...it's the reaction, as the OP said. basically, she picked up on some gossip...there's nothing wrong with wanting to know more about a play partner/Dom/Daddy/whatever. she is entitled to that information, to say the least.

I did google my Master but only recently. We have ben together 2 years and i was curious what it would say. I found his name and the names of 2 of his brothers. Since i already knew his brothers name it was not very informative.

To the op I think your Dom overracated a bit since you were trying to protect him. I would not discount 100% the post said just be careful.

me too, unless you happen to know my maiden name. there's certainly no guarantee googling will yield any information on a person. but I sure love to do it, it's right up there with perving profiles!

So if you are two gay males, why isnt the other one in the picture?

if you want to verify if the gossip/rumor is true or not, grow some balls and ask the person yourself.
