newgirlswitch -> Watering Down Female Dominance (2/22/2009 12:16:54 PM)
The threads of the past few months in ask a mistress have had me thinking about the usual responders and the "flavor" they bring to the table in discussions and debates there...particularly the men who say they are submissive. I sometimes wonder who really is behind the profiles of these men who seem to be perpetually looking for a mistress and commenting on the boards every hour or so. Many are well spoken and their photos may even show someone who is physically attractive, but over time something about their vibe seems off to me. Sometimes I do wonder if dominant men create alter ego sub profiles for the sole purpose of whinning in the domme forums. They go on and on demanding equality, or crying about inequality and romance centered around mutual respect and a "do this to me so I'll do that for you" philosophy, which totally misses the point of serving a dominant woman and it's really disturbing to see other dominant females taking the bait, too (assuming they are actually women). Is it possible we have a little gang of passive-aggressive dominant men shouting out in these threads under the guise of subs? I've seen a lot of good conversations in this part of the forum get squashed because the guys can't handle an expressed opnion that actually--hold on to your seats people--talks about real servitude to women and the fundamentals around it all. I see a lot of muddying of the waters in forums like these with a lot of whinning and foot stomping about points raised here...and it's usually the men doing it. Last time I checked, this was "ask a mistress". Perhaps I am the only one with this POV.

I have actually had real time experience with a sub who was really a "passive aggressive dominant". He kept coming around and was never happy with the outcome of our dinners or lunches or the "service" oriented things he stated he loved to do and I allowed him to do. After these few and rare occasions, the light bulb went on--finally I gave him the 411, called him on it and he's disappeared from here and the local scene and good riddance. These days My PAD senses are pretty high and I can smell them a mile off. I don't play tug of war games, I will not be manipulated, placated or mollycoddled in an effort to gain My attention or favor.

I've dated a sub who wanted to be in charge of everything, except the bedroom; and I've dated a domme who wanted me to be in charge of everything, except the bedroom. What people write as their orientation in their profiles doesn't necessarily mean a damn thing. You don't have to hunt for fake profiles when there's a much simpler explanation: people have labeled themselves, and your understanding of the label doesn't match their self-understanding.

People are people. And people tend to be of all sorts of variations. That's why when someone identifies himself/herself as a submissive, you can't just leave it at that and figure that person is going to be a perfect fit. But we all know that, or at least we should. I'm personally a very meticulous submissive, and I'm sure there are those out there who would equate my style with something they don't agree with. I'm generally fine with that. It just means it won't be a good mix or connection. What I think people sometimes miss when thinking about collarme, is that sometimes the people here aren't really looking for set relationship roles, but might just be looking for a partner with a bit of kink in their toolbox. I'm not one of those, but I certainly understand they're here all over the place. They realize they'll never find what they're looking for on a vanilla meeting site, so this is where they choose to go. But that doesn't mean they have to jump in with both feet first. And I completely understand that, and I think a lot of us forget that or refuse to acknowledge it because we see a hot looking profile of some person and want them to be everything we're seeking as well.

Sometimes I wonder who is behind a post when clicking on the author reveals "Profile Not Found".

quote: ORIGINAL: newgirlswitch Sometimes I do wonder if dominant men create alter ego sub profiles for the sole purpose of whining in the domme forums. In my experience, dominant men who want to be a pain in the ass on this forum just post to "Ask a Mistress" as dominant men; they don't bother with subterfuge and they aren't shy about their abhorrent views. The passive aggression you're talking about seems to be the hallmark of submissive personalities more often than dominant personalities, although obviously there are exceptions to every rule. The idea that being "submissive" means that you lose all desire and appetite to exercise power and control in your life is also a false one, imho. Very few people are completely abject about their submission; there are always limits and boundaries. This is why I don't think the men who try to "water down" female dominance would be happier with the dominant role in their relationships. They want to be submissive--perhaps even need to be submissive--but they have boundary issues over and above the norm, which are obstacles to intimacy. Most of the things that reluctant submissives say and do are forms of "bargaining", designed to mitigate the power of potential partners and make it less scary and threatening to surrender to that power. Essentially, they don't want to be stripped of the armor they are wearing, they don't want to be exposed, they don't want to be weak, they don't want to be vulnerable and helpless. They fantasize about being dominated and/or hurt, but the reality is too frightening to cope with. I tend to assume that submissives like this, male and female, will be a lot happier when they find someone who can make them comfortable. Knowing that they are safe with their dominant(s) of choice will probably make all the difference. I have to say, though, that I feel really sorry for the ones who are so scared that they are deliberately shutting everyone out, or holding them at arm's length. The strategies are no different for males than they are for females: being abrasive, evasive, defiant, coquettish, argumentative etc. are all things I've seen in both sexes.

Okay, I am trying to picture Aswad with a submissive profile. [sm=pigsfly.gif]

Even if they are, so what? It's a discussion forum.You know how boring this site would be if all subs did was say "Yes superior Mistress you are right" all the damn time?

SnowRanger -> RE: Watering Down Female Dominance (2/23/2009 6:01:43 PM)
Hello A/all, Perhaps the problem here is styles, expectations and goals. For an example of style: You might be a prim and proper "librarian" in your dominance style; and, a man might find a wild leather goddess to be his preference. People are what they are; and, like what they like. As for expectations, my situation is a good example. I expect a beating, she expects a foot massage (I am getting really good). I don't expect sexual contact, she doesn't expect house work (my domestic skills... not so good). As we get to know each other better these expectations will evolve. Goals come in many forms and some are situational. My goal for my current situation is to learn about submission beyond the "tie me up and do me/tie me up and be done by me" experiences of my past. On the other hand, my ultimate goal is to find a "relationship." I want (see... selfishness) that relationship to be full of love, romance, passion, sex (no appologies), and respect. I admit it! Even as a submissive I have wants. I want to be shushed by that libraran. I want the Leather Goddess of Phobos. I want that edgy snowboard instructor... No!.. I'll stop there. I don't belive that issues apropos of style, expectation, goals or even wants water down female dominance. I see it more as a matter of "fit." Respectfully, Mike SnowRanger P.S. If any of you happen to meet a really edgy snowboard instructor with an eyebrow ring, blond dreadlocks and a brown helmet with leopard skil trim... No! I'll stop there. ;-)

Do they have to be blonde dreads?

SnowRanger -> RE: Watering Down Female Dominance (2/23/2009 6:07:13 PM)
LOL! The woman I am thinking of has them;. my current "it girl." We had a lovely conversation about my freakiest first date.

chezzy71 -> RE: Watering Down Female Dominance (2/23/2009 8:47:27 PM)
after 37 years..yes you read it right..37 years of searching and finally finding my one in Mistress Cat..why would i want to even think about watering her down???Doesn't make sense to me.

FullfigRIMAAM1 -> RE: Watering Down Female Dominance (2/23/2009 11:13:34 PM)
You're not the only one with that POV... It's not true of most of the male subs posting though IMHO. I agree that people selecting labels occasionally fail to fully consider the label or "general" perceptions associated with said labels. M
