I have apparently been picked out only once in public, by a girl here at my school. It seems my bumbling attempt to hold the door open for her and a sheepish smile are what set off the alarms. Unfortunately we don't seem to get along too well in any other respect. Ah-so.

Is there the equivalent of "gaydar" for Dominant women? Do you ever just know. Is it something you can describe, or is it just a feeling? Have you ever acted on that feeling? Have you met a guy in a vanilla situation, had the feeling, and then started pushing his buttons a little? 3 words: chivalric and obsequious tendencies What woman wouldn't love that? :)

Have you met a guy in a vanilla situation, had the feeling, and then started pushing his buttons a little? I'm sure there are some women out there who can peg certain submissive people, but I know I've never been pegged for submissive in a vanilla situation. I am very submissive at heart, but my demeanor is far from it. I am very assertive and aggressive. In fact, I've been mistaken for a dom before...lol. For me, it's like if I'm in a vanilla situation, my submissive side is hidden. People who know of my submissive side still have a hard time believing I'm a submissive. My everyday personality doesn't exactly portray my true side. I may respond to strangers questions with a "Yes, sir/no sir" or a "Yes, ma'am/no ma'm", hold a door open for someone, or help a stranger load something heavy into their vehicle, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm being subby...my parents raised me to be polite. To those who don't appreciate my polite side, feel free to suck my fuzzy chipmunk balls! [:D] LOL

quote: ORIGINAL: Dnomyar How do you hold your eyes to show that your a submissive. Im also soft spoken so does that make me submissive. I always hold doors open for people. I may have to rethink my orientation. People who are submissive usually will not look you in the eye or if they do they look away quickly. Looking someone in the eye can be seen as trying to establish dominance or as a challenge. ~Lashra

The difference that i have seen is who will let the door drop, or hold it only long enough for the next person to grab the handle. pehaps it is just age or upbringing.

Having been well trained, i meet a Woman's gaze eye to eye, and check out the rest of Her when She looks elsewhere. i have been told that it is rude to talk to a Woman's chest, and to not look at someone that O/one is talking to.

Dnomyar -> RE: Can Women recognize a submissive male by sight? (3/7/2008 10:37:34 AM)
Mmmm I sort of have a bad habit of looking away from most people when I talk with them. I think some take it as being submissive until they start getting overly aggresive. I do think that the way you look at someone may influence their thinking. But as the saying goes Don't Judge a book by it's cover.

ShaktiSama -> RE: Can Women recognize a submissive male by sight? (3/7/2008 11:44:05 AM)
Even if I thought I could tell, I would be extremely wary of wishful thinking when playing "Spot the Sub". I prefer to meet men and women who already know what they want and what they're looking for in a self-aware BDSM context. Or get to know someone very carefully over time and have it unveiled in the course of getting to know them. I would never presume on someone's nature; BDSM is too scary for people who aren't into it.

If you are at a BDSM event and see a man wearing a harness and thong, a collar, and wrist cuffs, there is a good chance this man is submissive. ;-) quote: ORIGINAL: AtlantaMistress I will often catch a man checking out my stilettos, and I can then make eye contact, and then obviously look at the shoes as well and smile. This is a good approach. I don't think general submissive behaviors (avoiding eye contact, opening doors, etc) are necessarily indicators of being a submissive from a BDSM perspective. By the latter I mean someone who considers submission part of their sexuality or relationship expression. Lowering eyes or avoiding eye contact can come from lack of social confidence--I make eye contact and do so to establish a social connection. Opening doors can simply be a nice gesture. I use flagging--in some social environments I wear rings on my right hand only. Cheers, Sea

ooohhhh.... one of my long time favorites was VERY easy to spot that he was kinky. sigh The memory makes me all warm and wet...* We had hooked up in a very vanilla manner the night before... but he was following me and my group of friends like a puppy dog the next night. We were at a SciFi con and my group was getting dressed up in costumes to do a mass 'freak the mundanes' dinner party at the Hard Rock Cafe. My costume included a flogger hanging from the belt. The new boy said something ... I don't remember what ... and I told him to "Shut it" and flipped him in the leg with the flogger without taking it off my belt. The look that crossed his face was positively feral. I knew I had a live one.

Being married man I don't have a lot of degrees of freedom but I do like to flirt. It would seem to require a great deal of self confidence to move around on boots and to my good fortune many women like to wear them. I try to "out" dominant women by looking at their boots. :-P In social and business situations I will let my gaze take in a womans boots for a little too long and then look away a little embarased or distracted and take in their reaction peripherally. Its fun to see different reactions, quizical looks, asontishment, small smirks. :-) I'm probably making a collosal ass of myself but in my own mind it's a fun game. TnC

Recently when I was training a class, one of the participants seemed to stay close to me and I honestly didn't think too much about it UNTIL... I asked him to do something for me since he was right there. He did so but before he did what I asked him to he said, "Yes Ma'am, anything to serve you." I looked straight at him at that and when I did he lowered his eyes and went to do what I asked. For the rest of the day, I'd get him to do little menial tasks and he did so readily. He took a HUGE chance because 1. The trainer(me) is the supervisor during training 2. He's a supervisor. No one knew what was going on but the two of us. After the class I asked him how he "knew" and he said he could tell that I was a dominate woman. If he had not responded the way he did when I asked him to do something I would not have even thought he was submissive. There are some men I have a pretty good idea about but there are times when seemingly vanilla men will say something to indicate otherwise and it never fails to shock me. Faye

liks2plzlf -> RE: Can Women recognize a submissive male by sight? (3/7/2008 11:53:23 PM)
Multitude of phrases I could use to indicate my subservience, that would not reveal it to a non dominant, but I am sure would to a dominant. Well at least if they were interested.

Ha! Well, its funny, long before I was seriously into bdsm (bah-dism as my friend calls it) I've always been a pretty stubborn and strong person. Because of my gothy and corset-wearing tendancies, in sexual situations, people would usually just assume that I was a domme, and try to give me control, even if I didnt know what to do with it. Someone has to run the sex, otherwise you just sit there staring at each other.

Looking someone in the eye can be seen as trying to establish dominance or as a challenge. ~Lashra Well, I usually will look a woman directly in the eye to show that I respect her and consider her an equal (as I do all people). For me, I give hints in the things I say and and my actions. I have noticed that domianant women can sniff out a sub or vice versa. It is truly a fascinating phenomenon strictly from a sociological/pshychological stand point.

My all-time favourite was going on vacation to Hawai'i with a male gay friend. There was a nice-looking blond on the other side of the beach, and my friend noticed him moving his towel nearer and nearer to ours as the day went on. My narcissist friend was sure the blond was 'into him', I just smiled. The next time I went in the water, I held the gaze of the blond and he followed me in. As the sun went down, the blond Brit carried my things back to the hotel, and 'happened' to mention although an architect by day, he made 'chain and leather goods' at night, begged to create a costume for me, and wished he'd brought his own hand-crafted saddle so I could ride him. Later that night, ;-) I didn't need the saddle! Have strap-on, will travel: roughrider condoms + sub Brit ass = Boo ya! The blond knew who am I, I knew what the blond was, and my gay friend has no BDSM-dar.

LadyJeelys -> RE: Can Women recognize a submissive male by sight? (3/9/2008 7:08:20 AM)
Used to be, I'd say no......but recently I was shopping (Walmart) and a cute little guy was looking at videos, and it was just obvious. So I just said, "I bet you're adorable all tied up." He blinked, blushed, gave a little nod and grinned. Soooooo, now, I think with some guys you can tell. Plus, I think more guys are submissive than we realize.
