O Boze. Jak to moze byc? Jakis Dominant nie umie komunikowac sie z ulegla kobieta w necie? No to w sumie zdarzy sie, wiesz, ze ludzie nie potrafia sie skomunikowac ze soba w Internecie, zwlaszcza tutaj w tym portal tak zwany Collarme. No to coz... That was Polish in case anyone's wondering. I sometimes wondered in the past whether I would get a better response here on CM if I rewrote my profile in Polish. Communication is based on interaction - expressing one's thoughts and feelings through words (or non-verbally if in person), thinking, and also listening and reading. It's a transaction, an exchange. Assumptions are usually misleading, and here we're talking very simple basic assumptions, that someone who speaks English as a native language is able to communicate with another person who speaks English as a native language. Assumptions usually lead to misunderstandings. I spent years believing that Jimi Hendrix was a homosexual. Why? Because I was so sure that in the song 'Purple Haze' he was singing 'Excuse me while I kiss this guy.' Let's take another one of his songs, 'Hey Joe'. For years I thought he was singing 'You know I've kind of been messin' around with another man' (actually 'You know I caught her messin' around with another man') I had this idea that ZZ Top didn't like science fiction, because in a song about clothes they sing 'Every girl's scared of a Star Trek Fan'. It's like in that Mamas and Papas song 'Creeque Alley' they sing 'And in the coffee house the bastard sat' and I never worked out who it could be. But seriously, I cannot deal with people I cannot communicate with. And it's like erm, power exchange, exchange of power.. so how can someone be a Dom if they can't even exchange straightforward thoughts and feelings? More to the point, why spent time dealing with someone who cannot communicate with you? This I don't understand. I wouldn't get involved, for instance with a Dom who couldn't speak English. Why? Because we would have to mime or use sign language, and this makes a scene far more complicated. Besides, if he's holding a whip whilst we are trying to communicate he might do himself or me a nasty injury. If there's no communication, there's no possibility of a relationship.
