I hope this helps separate the wheat from the chaff. There are some wonderful girls on here, but there are swimming in an ocean of frauds.
Hello Patrick,
In regard to the list you have presented - red flags are funny things. What is a flag for one person would not be a flag for another. I am pondering Taoism as a steady part of my life and yesterday I finished reading The Art of War and found it fascinating. I am, in fact, also in the midst of composing a post for the General BDSM forum on some of the strategies contained within the book and how they can relate to M/s and D/s dynamics. (I'm multi-taskinal that way.)
I am a slave and have been for a good number of years to a pretty cool guy who gets me. That's the relationship part, the M/s part. When it comes to BDSM though, I enjoy both sides of the flogger, both inflicting and receiving pain. Indulging in my fascination with fire, knifes, wax and rope all feed the creative and expressive part of me as much as oil painting, creating a new pattern so I can sew a new outfit for an AD&D game (yes, I am that nerdy and I raised my kids right.. they are that nerdy as well) or ::gasp:: watching a kick-ass marathon of ST:TNG while munching on popcorn with Himself.
In the real world, most of us are multi-dimensional (even congressmen, I shit you not) and all of us are flawed and I can't honestly say that I would flag someone for being human and if they are diverse enough to have *lives for interests* which are diametrically opposed, probably a kick to talk to as well.
I think advocating that people red-flag such a person is a mistake. I would ask that you take a moment and just rethink some of your other *red flags* as well as the one I mentioned and see if you may hold some of them because of personal experience with a person or two or if you believe that it is truly a majority of people who display the attributes or behaviors you list are, as you call them.. *fake*. See if you still believe as you do and if so, then I respect your opinions, but I do not agree with them and wish you well.
I would be curious as to what sample size you have based your opinions on as well? (That's the Vulcan coming out.. I love data as well as Data!)
