what makes a Dom will be different for everyone probably -- well there might be a few core similarities but one person's ideal Dom won't be the same as someone else's. that said -- (i have to agree, a gnarly chair is totally a turn on hehehe) @osf -- your ducky avatar is so cute, i can't stand it. haha ANYWAY, to me, a good Dom is someone who has -- - leadership skills
- self-control
- plans or goals for the future -- not necessarily even long-term, but some kind of direction or idea for his life
- "something inspiring" about him -- that's such a subjective criteria but really; a lot of my submission comes from "something about this person makes it right"
- self-awareness
- self-confidence
- a sense of accountability
- honesty
"Mastering his own life" is one that i think about, but that one is also subjective -- what do you consider "mastering his own life"? what are the signs that he's done this? sometimes you meet people at turning points who may have some left-over stuff from their previous existence, but are running full-speed towards their own realization and honesty -- i would rather look at where he's GOING, than where he's COME FROM. Dominants are humans, too, and any human over one day old has made at least a few mistakes. but of course there are the mistakes you can live with, and those you can't. anyway, good topic! :) maybe i'll do a journal on it.
