It's really very interesting reading the thread and looking though the stereotypes. They are culturally specific. Whilst, as a very English woman, I can appreciate some of the stereotypes, I only know them from films, or movies or indeed when watching my own mother swoon over 'classic' Hollywood movies.
I seriously think (as I am wont to do upon occasion) that we all internalise ideals as an escape from reality. What we see on screen is not what we get. We get actors without lines, aimlessness without direction and lives without plot.
If you wanted to kill me you would just have to buy me a season ticket for Les Miserables. How a bloody musical about a social revolution and starving peasants can still be running only God (if there is one) knows.
It's all about suspension of disbelief. But then so is the internet, so are avatars and so are typologies. Which is why, the only way I can take stereotypes seriously is with a pinch of humour.
The chances are that even the most handsome of Doms will go grey and lose their teeth. That they will grow paunches and go up one too many sizes in leather trousers. Or get arthritis in the arm that so faithfully flayed up until that point.
Catergorically the only thing I have ever been able to rely upon? It's is my sense of smell.
So don't put on after shave when we eventually meet.

it's a Classic Dominant an Old person..... and if they are really old they become really valuable... that's when you go to an antique auction to sell them and make lots of money!!!! Then you go and buy yourself a new model with all the bells and whistles and laugh at the poor fucker that is stuck with that older model that doesn't work anymore that they spent to much money for!!!!

When I think of a "Classic Dominant," I think of my father. That really isn't as creepy as it sounds. He was classically handsome, with dark looks and a deep voice, but that's not really what makes him stand foremost in my mind as the epitome of a dominant man.

He never shirked responsibility, and he never shrunk under it either. He had laughter in his eyes, and a quick smile. He was provider and protector, leader and guide by example. He never had to demand anything from anyone, because the respect he inspired made any request from him, a desire of the person to perform.

When we fell on hard times, he walked the streets picking up cans and bottles. He was a proud man, but his pride was less important to him than his responsibility to his family to provide for them.

His work ethic was so strong, that when he became ill from cancer, and could no longer work, his employer respected and loved him so deeply, that he continued to pay his salary until my father died, and my mom was able to collect the insurance.

WD,

Thanks for that meaningfull contribution....I agree that the Classic Dom would by definition emcompass those attributes.

CP

At his funeral, a dozen different people stood up to testify to how my father had taken responsibility for helping them, when they needed it. He cut firewood for one single mother, who didn't have heat. He filled sand bags for friends who were in fear of their home flooding. Just two examples of how he saw a need and stepped up to meet that need. Service acts? From a dominant? Hell yes.

To this day, he remains the classic example of a person who inspired others to obey and serve him, because he could be relied upon to make things happen.

So, when I picture in my mind what the image of a "Classic Dominant" is, I see crinkles at the corners of the eyes as evidence of laughter, and a mischievous smile that reveals not only amusement, but just a hint of playful trouble coming to you. THEN I look for the evidence of integrity of character, that classically dominant individuals leave in their wake - because classically dominant people have classically submissive people who sing their praises.

Of course we'd never know as you rarely, if ever, provide your own viewpoint.

I'm really interested in what you, CelticPrince, considers to be a classic dominant.

I look like the "Classic" Dominant. If we're using the same standard we'd use for cars, of course. Actually, in that case I'd be considered "Antique".....

~The Classic Dominant
A dominant with Herculean powers of persuasion, who, having placed himself upon a pedestal, portrays triumphant ownership of both of his submissives: a timeless triptych of perfect power exchange. The whip he carries over his shoulder is almost invisible, emphasizing that ownership is achieved through silent cleverness rather than sheer force.~

OK spot the difference. Stone don't speak!

regardles of whether you agree or disagree with his POV, it is a rare day when an insult is made with "parser" in it.

I don't know if I can describe it very well, but I will try.

In my opinion, it is not about looks or outward appearances at all. A 'classic' dominant (imo)has attitude without arrogance, is clear about what he wants from me; expects my best and lets me know he appreciates what I do for him. These traits, in turn, give me comfort and contentment and security, even when he requires things that are scary or difficult.

When in the presence of those I submit to, I am happy.
