Superior just rings my bell! Where is Leadership when I need him? Superior how? You had trouble articulating it in your OP and my guess is there is a reason for that. You will not be of lesser quality than your dominant other. At the end of the day, you are both human beings with strengths, weaknesses, flaws, hopes, dreams, scars, and all of it. Matching those up to find a fit that is undeniable will not lead you to someone superior. It will lead you to a clay man, a person, filled with a humanity that molds to you, that is, a compatible person. Where you go together and the relationship and life you form belongs to you both. It is your shared vision and your realized potential. I don't blame you for having exacting standards for finding this person. If I am to follow, you had better be a worthy and capable leader. I wish more people would be so picky, honestly. I would spend a lot less time on the message boards helping to pick up the broken pieces of one heart after another. It will come naturally and easily to submit to someone who really fits you and that has demonstrated his ability to control you and lead you to your betterment, his, and the relationship's as a whole. If it is some difficult uphill climb all the time, I doubt you have found that person and achieved the kind of relationship that will ultimately allow you to thrive. Compatiblity does not need to be total. If it were, then we would basically be in a relationship with ourselves and that is a horror to consider for me personally. The essential and core areas need that proper overlap. Many other things can be different and left as room to grow into each other and explore together. I would challenge you to wait. Be extremely patient. Don't enter into this with just anybody. You are worth more and your partner deserves better than someone rushing in due to lonliness, desperation, or growing unfulfilled desires. Take this time and learn more about yourself and about that core that you must share with another. Decide what it is you are really wanting out of all this. I found my best successes when I took the time to look through profiles and wrote first. I found people whose words and (yeah this will sound nutty) energy in their words drew me. One of those is the partner I talk about on these boards and with whom I am sharing a deep and, hopefully, lifelong relationship. I don't know if this really addressed your OP, but it is what I know about finding the right partner. It is what I have had to learn along the way about my own worth within a relationship, despite my position. If you want to see more about this issue of superior/inferior, more/less, you can see my own struggle with this very issue on the General Discussion boards here. The title was The Name of a Natural Dynamic. I wish I was better and providing links, but the search feature should get you there. I was struggling over accepting the label of slave (which I know you say you have come to terms with), but it got into a whole lot more. I wish you all the best on your journey and a relationship full of happiness when the time is right. lovingpet
