ORIGINAL: dreamerdreaming I hate that "worthy" crap. You might be worthy of a good owner, domme or whatever, and still be a bad match for her. The two of you might be amazing, wonderful people, and still not fit together well. What do you have in common? What traits do you each have that compliment the other's? I agree completely; there really is no good objective standard of "worthy" when it comes to relationships, but there is a whole lot to do with compatibility. A better question might be, "Do you think we can make each other truly happy and be compatible in the long haul?" quote:
And why is she worthy of you? I'd ask her that, when you're done with your explanation. Remember, you're shopping too. If it were me, I'd probably be so annoyed by her question that I'd drop her. There are a lot nicer ways to put it, if you want someone to tell you why they're deserving of you. Asking why you're "worthy" comes across as presumptuous and arrogant, to me. If it were me I'd tell her thank you very much but I'll need a domme who isn't vain and rude. Then I'd go find a domme who is polite and modest, and knows how to ask someone about themselves in a nice way. There are "nice girl" dommes, but there's a lot to be said for being an arrogant, demanding bitch. Some of the time, anyhow. It would probably get old (at least in a primary partnership) if the emotional consideration in the relationship didn't go both ways. I can think of circumstances under which I would ask that question, and it would have to do with making the submissive in question verbally categorize his own aspects of self-worth in a way that could help lend him confidence and self-esteem in his own value and identity as a collared slave. The motive would not be personal arrogance, but teaching and self-improvement. And sometimes these methods of teaching do work better than being nice, but if you fail to understand them, they can backfire. And it's also possible that the domme in question is in fact an arrogant boob. I don't know. I can only say what would be going through my own mind when I ask such questions. Making him speak in this way would be all about him, for his benefit and personal growth, and would really have nothing to do with me or my ego.
