ORIGINAL: CdnExplorer Just to offer a little perspective - I know I've felt a bit bitter in the past, though I never wrote about it. I don't see it so much as being unable to manipulate a situation, but a loss of hope. The problem is that what I want is a relationship...to be with someone who were we not kinky, we would still be together. Then take that, and make it a D/s relationship. So guys like me come into site like this looking for someone we can love, start looking around and suddenly get the feeling that what we want is an impossible dream. After getting hundreds of spams from Nigeria, messages from people interested only in money and then finding few if any people who seem "real" it's easy to imagine a guy getting really discouraged. After spending enough time feeling like they'll always be alone is it any wonder that they turn bitter? How to deal with it? I'm honestly not sure. If a guy assumes from the start that he isn't going to be treated like a person with needs, fears, desires and deserving of love, then he isn't going to really be open to that either. ps: This is not to say that none of these guys actually hate women or want nothing more than to get their rocks off without a relationship (or despite an existing one). I just get the feeling that some of those guys are actually like me, and would "look" more like me were it not for the years of disappointment and loneliness. This is what I was talking about when I felt that there was some valid points that some had. I had a different profile up and got into some of this in it and man... the emails were heavy then because many opened up to me about how difficult it was. None of them were angry, although I knew they were discouraged and suffering in ways. I guess the difference is found in the answer to one question for me... If you had a dominant you could talk about this with, would you be angry and lashing out or would you be talking about a painful situation? The answer to that determines a lot in my opinion and one I can fully understand and deal with. The other.. no thanks, I am sure I need to wash my hair.
