rubikscube -> Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 6:18:06 AM)

Hello Everyone,

Recently I've contacted a female dom introducing myself and expressing my interest to serve her. Her profile was filled out, but from her description it sounded like all she wanted was a tribute. Luckily for me I found an in; she had a journal entry asking for intelligent subs who could do work for her.

Now I am a smart guy. I figured, sure, a little math and I'll be in the door. Unfortunately she sends me 5 written assignments on a topic I haven't studied for over 3 years, with no guarantee / offer of furthering our relationship attached.

So now I am stuck to make the hard choice. She is beautiful and from her profile it seems as though we share similar interests, but the fact of the matter is that I really have no idea what she is like or if this is just some ploy she uses to get her homework done.

Have any other subs been in a similar position? Did you take this risk, or pass on what is probably a scam.

Along those same lines: When first contacting a dom, do you play it very straight or immediately throw yourself at their feet? I do enjoy submitting, but I also need to get to know this person first, so I guess I tend to present as a mixed bag, which may be a turn off. Perhaps that is a better question for the doms.

Thanks for all your thoughts!

-JT

Do you have hard evidence she is who she presents herself to be?

Question rephrased: How do you know the profile is not being operated by, say, me?

Stop thinking with your cock! "I figured, sure, a little math and I'll be in the door"... Thats YOUR assumption, not what She was offering, in fact She offered NOTHING just stated apparently in Her journal "asking for intelligent subs who could do work for her"

So you had your own expectations based on what you could get out of it... in the door = in her knickers no doubt.... but she stuck to what SHE offered now you are not sure if you will get what you want.... tough! It isn't about you being used in a bad way, this is about you trying to get more from Her than she offered!

Do it or not, but DON'T try and play the damn victim here



softness -> RE: Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 6:35:59 AM)

didn't we just have a thread about a ProDomme using subs to get her homework done



mistoferin -> RE: Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 6:39:08 AM)

Yup, a few weeks back. The interesting thing is that these two posts are nearly verbatim.



Ferns -> RE: Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 6:40:06 AM)

Sorry JT, but I would say yes, you are being used.

You say from her description "it sounded like all she wanted was a tribute" and you thought you found a way to circumvent that, however what she is asking for from you is essentially a tribute, just not monetary.

If you can't have a normal, sensible conversation with someone in the early stages to get to know each other, I don't see how it can lead anywhere.

As a comment on your question about first contact... don't throw yourself at anyone's feet.  As you say, you don't know them, so how do you know you want to submit to them?  It makes Dommes feel as if they are being treated as interchangable fantasy fodder if you indiscriminately say you want to submit to them.  It makes no sense for either party.

There are a number of good threads here on how to put together an introductory email - I suggest you take a look if you think your approach is a turn off.

Good luck.

I thank you for your response, but I was looking to get a subs perspective on the situation.

That being said I complete agree with your observations. I thought it was an easy way into her life, and now that it's not I am crying about it.

It seems that it is so hard to find a female dom willing to even let you in. I've read all the posts about doms sifting through tons of emails and being overwhelmed, but I'm one of those emails that keeps getting overlooked. When I see something like this opportunity, I think, "Finally, a way to make myself stand out". Only problem is that I then step back, stop thinking with my "cock", I realize I am probably just being used.

Did I say ANYTHING about coming here and asking questions boy?!

Five assignments wasn't enough to keep you busy boy?!

Ummmmmm

Oops

Sorry, logged in on the wrong profile.

I uh, do that, um, every now and then to, uh, um, test you, yeah that's it.

Now get to work.

rubikscube -> RE: Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 6:47:49 AM)

Thanks for your feedback everyone. I sure am glad I didn't go through with it!

Ferns:

Thank for for the advice. I have read several excellent posts on introductory emails and I just have to make sure I stick with what they suggest.

Thanks again!



mistoferin -> RE: Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 6:48:07 AM)

OP...take a look at this thread, it is a lot like yours........

RavenMuse -> RE: Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 6:50:58 AM)

There are plenty of real people out there not just spongers after tribute. I don't have much respect for Them personaly but They are usualy upfront about that being all They are after, so at least They are honest about it.

If you set yourself up for 'being used' then you are not a 'victim', you are taking up what they offer and have nothing to really complain about.

I know male subs oft find it frustrating, thats a reason, not an excuse. Stick to your guns and wait till you find someone looking for what compliments what you are looking for, not trying to find ways past the tribute thing when the type of person who wants that ISN'T ever going to be what you actualy want.



rubikscube -> RE: Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 6:57:58 AM)

softness / mistoferin:

Crazy stuff. I my case she didn't move it over to yahoo, but did ask that they be sent there. Different topics as well, and she never said it was a quiz for me. So I guess in a way she at least was more up front about it, which is why I hesitated and don't go through with all the work.

RavenMuse:

I don't believe I ever said I was a victim, although it certainly can across that way. And looking back you are right: I have no desire to spend time with someone so focused on tributes and not our common interests. Best piece of advice:

natasha66 -> RE: Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 7:04:37 AM)

Are you being used in a bad way?  IMO.....yep.



sillyslaveboy -> RE: Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 7:08:55 AM)

Mmmmm... why didn't i come across these Ones? :) <ad> i am good on math and stuff. </ ad>

Are you being used - well, yes that is what the slaves are for. If you don't like it, maybe it is not what you want.
However, sole doing work without being paid attention to would not satisfy me either, unless i know person much more better than any other stranger.

*sigh* The best possible situation would be preparing Someone bloody spoiled for an exam in rl.

Are you being used?  Yes.
In a bad way?  If it feels bad to you.

This is an excellent piece of advice.  Though we are not interested in tribute, we do encounter a surprising number of boys who seem to think that pretending to be what we want will get them "in," and that once that happens, we will suddenly become whatever it is that they want.

I guess that is the interesting part. If I knew her, and we had a good relationship established, I really wouldn't mind doing the work. In fact I'd probably enjoy it.

Again I have to thank RavenMuse for this piece of wisdom. Over time I will find someone who is truly interested and compatible with me.



Dnomyar -> RE: Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 9:02:37 AM)

You should pay the tribune. Is'nt that what your here for to get used? Why are you crying about doing a little paperwork. If you were'nt so cheap and paid the money in the first place then you would not be here bitching about a little paperwork.



rubikscube -> RE: Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 9:16:24 AM)

And .... no



rubikscube -> RE: Am I Being Used ... In A Bad Way? (8/12/2008 9:27:39 AM)

And I supposed I should clarify.

In a way yes. But first I am here to find someone that I am willing to let use me. I know there are some subs out there who just need to be used and abused by anyone. I want to first have a solid connection and understanding with my dom.

I'm afraid no matter what I say, it won't be enough for you my good sir. So have at it, and you may have the last word.
