Iinteligencia, (Fast Reply) quote:
...all have found me physically attractive. The feeling was mutual in two cases Okay. In my experience, this is fairly typical for dating of any sort. A mutual attraction ratio of two out of eight is actually pretty good. quote:
...but I suspect I have just been too 'nice' in person and not Domme enough but I don't know for certain as subs will not say. "Too nice" and "not dominant enough" are not relevant, in my opinion. Just be yourself. That's who you are. Putting on a persona that you think will attract a partner... how long can that last? Many people will see through this and, for that matter, how long could you expend the energy to keep that up? Sooner or later you'll just want to be yourself so you might as well start out that way to begin with. quote:
I suppose it's not in the nature of a Sub to give constructive criticism but that is exactly what I would like. I disagree with the first part and as for the second part... people are not mind readers. If you want something, ask for it, politely. In fantasy BDSM-land, bitchy, inconsiderate dominants are all the rage, but in real life that's not the case. Showing courtesy will go a long way toward encouraging people to help you. Being clear about what you want from someone will also help. It's just fine to say to a submissive "I'm new at this and I'd appreciate it if you gave me some feedback about my approach thus far" or something of this ilk. You can also ask questions about activities that interest you to see what experiences your prospective partners have in those areas. If a submissive has experience and skills you'd like to learn from, there's nothing preventing you from asking the submissive to show you a thing or two. Learning is something all humans do. Asking a submissive for help doesn't show a lack of dominance. On the contrary, it's very sensible to ask the resources around you for help. Just a reminder... when someone shows you something, remember to thank them for their time. Consider this no different from the vanilla world. quote:
So I know not all subs are the same but I would love to hear from submissive straight men on how they actually like to be treated, from the moment you meet your Domme to the moment something sexual happens. I don't have a script, but a dominant woman who shows courtesy and kindness, has a sense of humour, can hold a conversation on topics inside and outside BDSM, isn't afraid to ask questions, is able to be vulnerable in front of me, has an appreciation of music and the arts, has a love and respect for animals, has interests and hobbies of her own that she'd like to share, is interested in the totality of me as a person (not just as a submissive), and is willing to share the totality of her personage (not just her dominant self)... this is someone who may catch my interest. It helps if she's romantic and is a good kisser to. :-) Elan.
