ORIGINAL: Icarys If your not a mature person emotionally at mid-life and haven't settled into who you are then I don't think you'd be right for me. I'm not your shrink or your babysitter..I want a woman..not a the false image of one. (Generally speaking) LOL Not sure why this made me laugh, but it did. Maybe because of all I've been through to be settled within myself and how well I know myself and know what is right for me...your comment just seemed like it was coming from another planet. Here's the difference. You are dominant, by nature. Cool. This means you are in control - of yourself, of your surroundings, of the people you are in a relationship with. I am not, within my relationship. I am going into a relationship knowing I won't be in control of any of it. I'd better damn well know who it is I'm getting involved with, and be pretty certain that he can adequately lead me. As I told my owner, I am a complex being and I don't come without complications (no one does, in my opinion). There are a myriad of personality types out there in the world. If I was going to give myself to someone, it needed to be someone who had the skills and desire to lead my personality type. If you've attended any leadership seminars (I've had more than my fill of executive management courses), you would know there are various types of leaders, and different leadership styles affect people differently. Some thrive under dictatorships, and some crumble under them. This has absolutely nothing to do with knowing oneself, or settling into who you are, or anything else that you seem to be talking about. It's compatibility - and compatibility or incompatibility occurs in all areas of life - the workplace, in families, circles of friends, relationships, etc. You seem to be of the opinion that if someone is not compatible to your style and desires, they're not really submissive, or not self aware, or any other negative wrapping you are choosing to put on it. But you're wrong. While someone may not be compatible to you, this does not mean they aren't the perfect submissive partner for someone else. Ever had a perfect boss? A shitty boss? Ever have a shitty boss who other coworkers liked? Then hopefully you can grasp what I am speaking of. There are a lot of people who can call themselves leaders. This doesn't mean they are good leaders. And to me, a good leader would know that.
