quote: ORIGINAL: jbcurious That makes a lot of sense to me... I had a similar thought but more like it started as a bit of fun and fantasy for them as all of the dynamics in these "potential relationships" has been fairly extreme on the control aspects and when they realize I'm actually willing to follow through and make fantasy a reality...they realize they may have bitten off more then they can chew...[:D] this happens A-lot!! - this is actually a big stumbling block for some people. it happened to me in real life once. this guy was all over me, we'd had a few meets and theyd gone well, the bdsm was ok, nothing amazing but i suddenly got the distinct impression from this guy that his inexperienced repertoire was ebbing, his urges satiated by the play and the reality of having a sub who looked to him for leadership and direction was just way more than he'd bargained for. in short, the play was fun but his interest in Ds was less than marginal. basically he had kinky needs but no sustainable interest in Ds whatsoever. so fine, he found that out, at my expense though - not so fine. the thing is you have to actually be the kind of person who WANTS that control, enjoys it on whatever level a Ds Dominant enjoys it. some time ago i tried to help this frustrated male sub by Doming him - it was pathetic really, i did my best for a time, but the drive to Dominate just wasnt in me and he knew it - thats when i got my first real insight into what it takes to be a Dominant - it isnt just about getting someone to do things for you, theres so much more to it that makes the entire process not just sustainable but profoundly important to them. i have no idea what that is, what that feeling is, but ive seen it working inside of them and its visceral and at times powerful.

quote: is there some underlying message that says "come fantasize with me"? Hi JB, You are ascribing a motive for the men's vanishing act. You wonder if it's your profile which somehow encourages fantasy players. Maybe it's true. Maybe it's not. The fact is, you don't really know why they don't come to meet you. It may not be a fantasy problem, especially when you don't give them any wank material during your phone calls. It's going to be hard to figure out what the problem is, because it's clearly cowardly of them not to explain why they don't come visit. It is awful. Passive aggressive isn't an attractive quality in Dominants, in my opinion. I'm only trying to come up with other suggestions for their failure to visit. Because it might ultimately lead to some constructive changes in your patience level, or explicit geographic requirements. January

quote: ORIGINAL: jbcurious .As regards to my profile... It's not about chasing them off... it's about attracting the wrong type...is there some underlying message that says "come fantasize with me"? [:D] youre new and learning and that will attract time wasters - to be honest its a sort of 'initiation rite' you have to go through a certain amount of this before you give off some sort of aura that tells these guys its futile to even try. [:D] it was sortof ellucidated in another thread where people were saying, 'yeah that happens, but it hasnt happened to me for ages now' - that peeked my interest - it is strange, but the predators and time wasters do stop calling and you kinda wonder why that is, i still havent worked it out -

laurell3 -> RE: I'm so confused... (6/4/2010 4:09:41 PM)
Jb, I think maybe the forums might give new subs an unrealistic viewpoint of how many sane, intelligent and together guys there are out there really looking to do anything honest. You're looking for a needle in a haystack. Lally is right, it will get better, but I think much of that is because we learn to make our expectations more realistic. When I was looking most recently, I probably sorted throught 100 guys for every one that I actually talked to more than 2 or 3 times. Then again, location can change that factor, I'm sure. Europe is much more progressive than the yahoos I talk to here (or I'd like to think so, it surely can't be worse! [8D]). Time is the only answer.

jbcurious -> RE: I'm so confused... (6/4/2010 4:37:27 PM)
I don't have a problem if they can't visit, I am understanding of the fact that not everyone can just hop on a plane at a whim...and I can be patient... I just have a difficult time understanding the vanishing act when a simple cmail saying they've changed there mind or aren't interested would suffice. I do appreciate your input and thank you for taking the time to reply.

jbcurious -> RE: I'm so confused... (6/4/2010 4:46:36 PM)
Lally, Laurell, Jeff... Thanks, I guess it's a learning curve and I've probably been a bit naive. Because I'm direct and honest, and so many here on the forums are...I expect others to be as well, silly me [:)]

I would have the part where you describe what you're looking for in a Dom higher up so that they don't need to get to the end to read it. Everything in your profile is great, it just (imo) needs that tweek.

lally2 -> RE: I'm so confused... (6/4/2010 4:54:17 PM)
maybe we should be giving some insight into what we've actually picked up along the way. i dont do any sort of on-line submission before we've even met anymore itll be having to blow a ten force gale in hell before i ever call someone Sir or Master before we've even met im not getting nekkid on cam for a stranger, ever again i dont do phone sex with someone i havent met now and actually i now have a hard and fast rule about chat on IM too - its email and then phone. IM almost always turns into some sort of on-line submission test thing, ach! in short, submission only starts to get working in any physical way after we've met and the chemistry is obvious between us. anyone who thinks that they can get my submission on line is, in my view anyway, a fantasist by dint of the fact that submission for me means knowing the man im submitting to. its an organic, gradual process that eccellerates once we've hit real time. online can be fun of course but experience has shown me that its the guys who through talking about every day stuff, not just BDSM or Ds but just the normal run of the mill, who make you laugh and can share silly moments and yet somehow, inexplicably hit that sub button where you can feel youreself being drawn into how his mind works and he doesnt ask you for proof of submission or tries to test youre submissiveness but engages youre brain and you can feel the ebb and flow start to kick in without anything really explicit actually happening or being asked of you - thats when i know ive bumped into someone that might just be the real deal. from my experience that is. others im sure have other experiences or thoughts on it. you know the one thing that really makes me think - aha!! - its just in the simple flow of conversation - im quite shy at first about expressing myself and when a guy listens to me, waits for me to stumble out my thoughts and responds gently and thoughtfully i know im talking to someone who wants to encourage me and draw me out - and when he's talking and i almost interrupt and he can hear that i almost interrupt and continues talking, encouraging me to stop and listen to him i know im talking to someone who has already taken some control over me. its those little things that really shout loud, for me anyway. overt domlyness and demands before a connection has been really made switches me off immediately. anyway, thats what ive come up with over time and it works for me.........,

Andalusite -> RE: I'm so confused... (6/4/2010 7:42:38 PM)
I'm so sorry, I remember how excited you were about one of them (I wasn't aware of the other two). I haven't started looking again, but last year, every person I actively made plans to meet showed up, and at least looked the way they had in their picture, no obvious fakes or flakes. Some turned out not to be compatible at all once we met, and several didn't get to the point of actively planning to meet. It was a lot easier for me though, since I was only focusing on people who were at most 3 hours away, most less than an hour in decent traffic. I don't think you're necessarily doing anything wrong. I think there's a certain level of attrition that is normal for online dating. It's just that the stakes are so much higher, due to your circumstances, so it's probably a bigger disappointment if things don't work out.

My life would be so much easier if women had cocks... [:D] or if I could get over my desire to worship st the alter of the almighty cock...[8D] Sadly, I don't think either of those are likely to happen...

jbcurious -> RE: I'm so confused... (6/5/2010 12:44:33 AM)
All excellent ideas lally...and pretty much what I'm doing with potential relationships... but I admit that at this stage I also want a little on line play as well. It's a learning experience and has opened me up to things that I initially felt a great deal of trepidation about but now eagerly look forward to experiencing. So for me, it does have its place and I seem to be much better at choosing play partners then I am at choosing potential partners for a LTR as they've stuck with me even through my periods of putting things on hold while exploring the possibilities of a LTR.

jbcurious -> RE: I'm so confused... (6/5/2010 12:57:20 AM)
There may be something in what you say Steven... I have been quite enthusiastic in embracing their ideas of what they desired from me... but I never looked at them as actual relationships, only as men with a potential for a relationship depending on whether or not the online connection carried over into real life. Andalusite, Thank you, that one was a stronger connection then the other 2. We had shared so much with each other and he had opened me up to possibilities I wouldn't have considered a month ago... so yes, it was quite disappointing and a bit painful when he vanished in the manner he did. Thanks for sharing your experiences as well. Zephyr... Do I want a Dom who doesn't have the interest to read a profile through? I haven't exactly written an epic novel... [:)]
