Ltaely I've been getting a lot of interest from subs but none of them particularly spark my interest. I find myself wanting to find a submissive who has a LOT to offer. For example...

Wouldn't it be cool to find a sub who was either a gourmet chef, a contractor, a mechanic, a hairdresser, etc?

These days it seems like they all have the same stuff to offer but I'd like to find one who really stands out and has special skills!

I am sure there is one sub out there like that but my guess is he is already spoken for.

I good balance of each of those traits would be slightly easier to find

Seriously, is it actually worth putting stuff like that in a profile?  I'm trying to think of unusual things that I can do.  I could teach a woman fire-blowing . . . . er . . .

The things I can do that are useful I wouldn't want to offer, though - they'd feel like utterly the wrong reasons for starting a relationship. I wouldn't want a partnership with a woman who only wanted me because I could fix her computer or do building jobs for her.  My romantic sensibilities would be somewhat injured!

I guess it would depend what was being looked for. I will reveal that *I* have a special skill that I bring with me to my submissive playmates, especially as reward. It'd be kind of nice to have one that stood out from the crowd...

But rob425 is right. Most subs with a cool skill are probably snapped up in an instant (provided they're cool on all other counts as well).

Fireblowing sounds kind of neat, btw.

I was having a conversation with a femdom friend just two days ago.  She said that one of her pet peeves was women who wanted a sub male who had a ton of things to bring to a relationship, even though the woman had very little to bring to the relationship except the fact that she identified as dominant.

I'm not saying this to point a finger at you, StoneFox.  You've never struck me as someone who would try to use or trick someone else.  However, don't you already have a primary partner?  Limitations like that are going to limit the types of men who approach you.  Here's a question, to think about privately if you wish, I'm certainly not asking for a public response: What do you have to offer a man with a professional skill most femdoms would love to have in their life?

No worries :) I think part of the reason I'm so particular IS because I already have a primary partner. I'm constantly challeneged to to find someone who brings me something different from what I have already. For example, I'm not seeking anything sexual. So a sub who says "I love to perform oral sex and would lick you for hours" holds no interest for me. I'm looking for someone who can make me laugh, teach me a fun new skills, and maybe style my hair (lol)...in addition to things like taking a flogging, letting me dress him up like a woman, etc.

Thankfully for me, I *do* have a cool skill to offer in addition to my dominance

Ah come on, StoneFox.  You've said that twice - you know you want to tell us.  If you don't, I shall perv your profile then make embarrassing suggestions as to what it could be.  You have 30 minutes from the time at which this message is posted.

Could you teach StoneFox how to get out of a side head lock or a full nelson, Starbuck?  I could.  It's things like this that have made me the success with women that I am today.

Cheeky brat ;) No, I just mentioned it because I think RedMagic might have missed it the first time around.

Let me flip this for a moment since all you subbie boys seem to be chipping in tonight...do YOU all ever wish you could meet a Domina with a particular skill?

I think it would be pretty cool to know how to make floggers and various kinky toys and then teach my sub to do it too. Not only does it save money, but it's something the two of you get to do together :)

As someone open to either side of the kneel, I value in a partner, a potential balance and counterpoint; someone I look forward to spending time with with whom I can play, talk, in additon to being pervy, etc.  :> 
As far as special skills, I do have a particular liking for partners who are creative: be their creativity manifest artistically, in the form of writing, etc.  I find that magic very compelling and as a creative person as well, I understand it. 
Oh, and I also very much value someone into whose energy I can sink and they into mine but that's not generally apparent until things are rather intimate.  That's like a really powerful drug and is one of the bet feelings ever!  :> 
And, I'm with Peon, it really does seem you want to say what that skill is, so I vote for you disclosing it!  ;>

Since you and I don't often disagree (I'm not even sure if we're disagreeing now) I thought I'd expand on this point.  It might make for an interesting discussion.

One of the running gags around here is that, due to the fact that I am a computer twit, he needs to be computer savvy.  As far as electronics go, it is one of My weaknesses.  I have other areas that I don't especially consider strengths, such as My bad sense of direction.  For someone who has been known to travel like I do, that can be a hang up.  Someone who is good at planning trips would absolutely be an asset to Me.  One or both of those things might be considered special skills because I don't have them. 

I don't see these things as any different than what I bring to the table for a submissive.  For example, I have good social skills.  Many times, this is related to the fact that I am a femdom.  Now, I don't especially see that as a skill because it's something that I have.  It opens doors to Me in a variety of places.  Yet, to someone who doesn't have that particular asset, it could be seen as a skill and it certainly could be related to Dominance.  I would say without a doubt that there are people that I have met and places that I've gone solely because of some topping skills that I possess.  I see that as *just* being a Dominant.  There are many who wouldn't agree with that, because it isn't a part of their personal experience.

Now, the question is, are we quite sure that is because I'm Dominant, or it just happens to be an area of strength of Mine as a person?  Can someone who doesn't have that quality see it as a skill?  In some ways, you can say yes because not everybody can do it.  Someone who is shy and reserved would absolutely be in awe of the way I pull off a presentation (with My pre-demo jitters added in, of course) or My sense of adventure to run off and play somewhere that I've never been.  While I could probably do the same in the vanilla world, it's My Dominance that allows Me to excel in these areas.

I think nearly all men know how to pull off a presentation, LP, without needing to be shown.  Indeed, a lot of dominants here complain that the men visiting this forum do that far too often anyway. 

  But seriously, it's very common, I think, for an introverted sort of person to get together with a more extroverted one.  The one has a bundle of things to offer the other.  A woman who has well developed social skills - is happy, basically, being surrounded by others - is going to have something that I'm not great on.  It would be a very attractive quality.

Personally, no because it would mean that is their occupation and with those, they are either never home or always in demand. My time would be very limited.  Ability to cook, sure, a mechanic of sorts, hmm not so sure. a contractor, nope.
 
I can cook better than most, fix My own car and do My own household repairs--I need someone to clean the pots, hold the ladder, look nice when we go to the movies and submit without hassle.

That's the thing, Peon.  An introverted person would be highly drawn to a person such as Myself.  It might be linked to D/s, but again, it might not.

It is about interpersonal skills that one offers the other.  That is tied into D/s because the D and s are still people.

I feel similarly.

A given woman might realize that her sensuality is a feature that is attractive. And she might take steps to enhance or make known this sensuality. Still, if a man focuses on only this sensuality and what she can do for him sexually, it turns her off.

Context of the question matters. In general, however, I feel similarly about the skills question. I find the underlying message to be a turn-off in the mix of things.

Cheers,

Sea

It's really difficult to imagine how D and s would come together given that they're both the romantic sort, as I am, and your 'vanilla skills' are important to her. 

I imagine meeting 'Her' and finding that we get on, find each other attractive, intelligent, amusing, able to converse . . . .  Then she suddenly says, "Right.  What are your DIY skills like?  Can you fix cars, computers and electrical faults?"  I think I'd quickly develop a migraine.

I was recently contacted by a sub who in his one liner offered a fairly good skill.
Sadly his profile was bare bones.
Nevertheless, I replied and tossed him a few questions in the hope that there is more to him than just that one skill. 
I do mention in My profile what I am interested most in and maybe even what I'm good at - the interests survey helps - and I totally want those that contact Me to use that clue too.
Always the best ~Zya
