Amaros -> RE: Brutal Dom vs Sweet Dom (1/11/2009 8:45:26 AM)

I sort of have the opposite problem, I'm basically more affectionate and more of a nurturer (Cancer: lot's of boundries), but I definitely have... urges (Tiger: no boundries - other than legal) - the problem is that the women looking for a hard ass only seem to see my softer side, the ones looking for somebody more attentive are spooked by my more aggressive side, i.e., most people seem to think you either one thing or the other, and maybe I am different but I think it's mostly in your head - testosterone levels can rise and fall, identification means you tend to act out in ways that you think others expect out of you, and the fact is some people can't change, or don't want to which amounts to the same thing, i.e., take it or leave it. I think most couples end up falling into a smoother, more balanced dynamic naturally, without thinking about it, just doing what works, some people need a lot of nurturing, others not so much, but that does mean you have to engage with someone for a long enough time for your cycles to start to integrate and for you to adjust to each others moods - which isn't going to happen if you make a snap judgment about someone based on a first impression and don't give it a chance. Not necessarily saying this is the case with you sultryone, presumably you've been seeing this guy long enough to get a handle on his personality and expectations and pondered to what extent you can cope with that, but it you want to find somebody that matches your moods better, you'll have to give them equal time. Anyway, reading between the lines I'm wondering whether he's down with you being poly, or whether it's a one way thing for him, and you're wondering if and how it will affect your current dynamic - and all I can say from the armchair is that it depends on what your relationship is, which is pretty vague - have you talked to him about it?
