Frankly, as a domme I would have expected you to hold the interest of submissive men in a little higher regard.

First of all, it's not a "small number" of submissive males. At least half the males on this site are subs. And I can assure you, LOTS of them would like the feature I suggested.

Second, why would this chase women away? I'm not saying business dommes shouldn't be allowed to use the site, just that there should be a different category for them. And I'm also not saying they couldn't have a second profile under the lifestyle if they are truly lifestylers.

The fact that we can filter people out on the basis of age, weight, race, country, height and other variables but NOT on the basis whether they're here for money or not seems very backward.

And just who would leave the site because of this? The lifestyle dommes? They really LIKE being lumped in with pro dommes, scam dommes, financial dommes, etc?

And the ones doing it to make money wouldn't leave either. Money is money. If it can be derived from a submissive male on CM, you think they're not going to have a profile here?

I don't agree with your estimate of the breakdown of males.  If the site is reflective of the scene at all, it's not a 50/50 deal with half of the males being Dom and half the males being subs.  The breakdown is probably more along the lines of 70/30, with male Doms in the majority.  It's a gray area because there are those who identify as switch.  Males of either category who are gay fall outside the interest of the subject.  (I've yet to meet a gay male Dom who was negatively impacted by pros.)

Of that 30% of males only who use the site (remember, we're not considering the female users right now) you have to remember that many of them are not especially looking.  Others are married, interested in cam only, etc, so even that number gets reduced.  If a male sub is already involved, why would they care if pros are flagged or not.  This means that you have an addition of folks who just honestly don't care.

Now, take someone who is similar to Myself.  I'm not a pro, but if the site would be more difficult for Me to use, I'm less likely to be here.  (This is exactly why I don't use Fet more often, unless I'm promoting a local event.) 

Some of My friends happen to be pros.  It doesn't hinge My opinion one way or another if they aren't flagged, but the potential abuse of such a system does.  If they wouldn't be welcome here, I'd most likely feel the atmosphere was not an accepting one.  Not to mention, many of us lifestyle types are glad the pros are here.  It means less crap in the personal mailbox.

Look at the thread in it's entirety.  Not one female has said that they would welcome the potential of the site being harder to use, willing to sacrifice being the target of blacklisting, or be patient while the "bugs" are worked out.  We're happy just the way it is as far as the categories go.  There are absolutely more folks who are satisfied with the set up than those who aren't.

Negative feedback?

It's not so black and white as in purchasing something.

One persons fake is another persons dream.

One persons annoyance is another persons delight.

Are you being purposely obtuse?

Do a text search. MALES --ORIENTATION: any THEY ARE SEEKING: any Do it on the basis of both "LAST ON" and "JOINED."

See how many are light blue and how many are dark blue.

The FIRST thing I would do here is add a feedback system like in Ebay. This will benefit EVERYONE.

If some horny man who's married says to you "gee wilickers, may I kiss ur feetz plz?" and turns out to be a bafoon, you can flag him with negative feedback.

Essentially can flag your experience with another profile as "positive", "negative", or just not flag it at all, and all that feedback is viewable.

Thus, if 75 people flag an individual with negative feedback, you can guestimate that they're not good to deal with based on the opinions of 75 people. Ala Ebay.

The second thing I would do is add a "pro-domme" flag that you can select on your profile to designate you as a pro-dom if you were one.

The third thing I would do is allow people to point out the profiles of people who aren't listed as "pro-dom" but ARE pro-dom by clicking a button.

Once enough people have pointed out a pro-domme who is falsely listed,the pro-dom's account is switched from "not-pro-dom" to "pro-dom" status.

If you have lifestyle interests, you can simply make a second, non-pro-dom profile, or a new system can be invented to accomidate you if you're both.

It seemed to me like you were trying to provoke me by saying: Dommes don't care what whiney little fucks have to say.

If that was not your intention, then I missinterpreted you, and I apologise.

What you fail to recognize, since it's already been said, is that the only thing a flagging system like ebay would do is set up Dommes to be marked low as hell and no good because they've rejected somebody or somebody didn't like what they read.

The feedback in Ebay is not on the product or even on the outcome of the transaction, it's on the quality of your interaction with the person.

If I say "Hey, I'm in to humiliation, what about you?" And she says "No, sorry." I give her POSITIVE feedback because we've had a succesful interaction.

If she says "Go fuck yourself retard", I give her negative feedback.

No, you're offended and defensive because you feel the comment is directed at you and thought I was calling you a whiny little fuck.

It's true, Dommes don't care what whiney strangers on a website have to say. Which means, your random opinion doesn't matter to w hole bunch of Dommes. Period. Hurt feelings or not, this is a fact and if I need to start a poll on it, to prove my point, I will.
