when deciding whom to spend my time with, and not everyone is into kink (hence my numerous hiatuses). In other words, there are people worth dating to whom a belt is just for holding up one's pants.

I am arguably too intelligent and sensitive for my own good. The former makes submission difficult for me because I am able to sense the dynamics of the relationships in which I become involved and, in a d/s dynamic, either become quickly bored and/or dissatisfied with and by the quality of a Domme's will and input.

nor will I feel a sense of humility in the presence of someone who is not literally my superior.  That's truth in advertising.  Granted, it may be a little off-putting, but it will save me more unnecessary false starts.

quote:

What do you mean by your "superior?"

Your posts have an air of, "I will allow some mistress the privilege of doing me from time to time." You might get more action if you didn't come off as God's Gift to Leather-Clad Women.

who says we only browse men's profiles? each dominant female has her own criteria for what she wants, we are as individual as snowflakes. we can't really be defined by one response to a question. there is no domme wrapped in yellow packaging with the word "domme" printed in black across her chest.

Perhaps instead of "superior" I should have said "of equal or higher quality"

My point is that the highly successful people I know almost never talk this way. They tend to talk about how much of life they don't understand, and act genuinely curious in the viewpoints of others. They got good at whatever they got good at, by paying attention to other people, not just themselves. By contrast, the people I have known who talk the way you are currently posting, tend to be people who were very good in school, but did not "live up to the hype." Meaning, they think they should be highly successful, and yet they are not.

There's a certain amount of luck to getting ahead, no matter how much talent you have and work you put in. But if you find yourself unable to maintain a relationship for more than a few months, or if you find that other people are starting to pass you by even though you are "innately smarter," you might consider changing the way you perceive the world. It might be that those other people have something that you lack, and it will take you a tremendous amount of work to instill it within yourself.

The one woman who has looked at your profile and posted said that you came off as arrogant, and that some women would find you flaky and disingenuous.  You said you'd deal with it.  I haven't looked at your profile.  Have you made changes as a result of her concerns?  If you disagreed, it would be different.  But you said you'd do something.  Have you?

It doesn't sound like a winner of a profile to me.  Also, the lecturing tone in your posts is not going to win you a lot of positive female attention to your profile.  Someone like PanthersMom, who has tremendous life experience, and knows waaayyyy more than you do, is not the kind of person to "correct," the way you did, as though speaking to a child.

You are, of course, free to do anything you wish, within site rules.  I am only explaining the kind of thing I have found useful to do (and to avoid), in order to get unsolicited emails from women, and in order to get responses to emails I write.
