VonGlorious -> As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 9:23:40 AM)

It's a question i would like some feed back on. There may be a situation where a submissive is interested in a Dominant, but isn't sure he/she is interested. In your opinion, is it proper or appropriate for the submissive to approach the Dominate? Why or why not?






I'll give me POV a llittle later, im more interested in what you have to say :)

Speaking for myself, unless I am the one being pursued pretty aggressively, I lose interest. It would defeat the purpose for me to make the initial contact.



LadyPact -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 9:38:25 AM)

There's no reason why a submissive shouldn't send a Dominant an email to say that they are interested in them, if that person is what the other person might actually be looking for.  I'm of the mind that common courtesy applies.  (In other words, if that person says "no men" in the profile and the submissive is male, that's a no.  Never expect to be the exception to the rule.)  The sit back and wait approach really doesn't work that well for most male submissives on the internet.  In the case of female submissives who contact first, it's probably going to make somebody's day.

I adore being approached by a person that has obviously taken the time to read my profile, understand ME a bit from that, and wishes to show active interest.



LanceHughes -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 9:41:46 AM)

Yes, please approach.  In person OR on internet.  That is, if you're at a munch, or even on the street.....

Why?  Well, how else are you going to find out if "he/she is interested."  Also, I don't have time to check out each and every sub.  If you happen across something that seems interesting, go for it.  YOU might be just what *I* would like to find.  The internet gives us world-wide possiblities.

As a young man, I was always wondering "Why did those two high-school sweet-hearts get married, saying,  'They are the ONLY person for me.'?"

Heck, that was the only other person in the class of less than 100 students that they had talked to for more than 30 minutes.  Oh, and same age, and of same cultural milieu..... get a LIFE!

So, short answer, "Yes, approach."  If nothing else, I'd like to see what I have that interested you. LOL!

You are not submissive except to your own Dominant. So if you're currently not serving, approach anyone you want.



LadyHibiscus -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 10:12:28 AM)

We are all people, all on equal footing. By all means, approach anyone that interests you, as one human being to another!



BKSir -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 10:16:18 AM)

Please do. We are doms, not psychics. There is a big difference. We can't read your mind all the time, just once in a while. ;)

I personally really enjoy it when s-types come to me first. Shows initiative and gives me a feel for their personality much more quickly.



juliaoceania -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 10:16:56 AM)

From my experience as a submissive approaching dominant men, they seem to like to do the pursuing. I am sure they find it flattering to be approached, but in my experience if a man likes what he sees in your profile, he will contact you. The most I do is view them first... and then if they contact me I respond.

I am sure other people have different experiences, but that is mine.



McCaine -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 10:23:51 AM)

Yeah why not? After all, as was said before, up until the point someting happens, we're all just people trying to flirt with each other at an equal level.



sexyred1 -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 10:24:08 AM)

I never approach anyone. I figure, if they are interested, they will approach me first. I like when the man takes the initiative.

I am in sales, so I have to cold call too much as it is. :)



PainObjectForUse -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 10:26:02 AM)

I've said something like this before, but ...

First amke sure you read and understand the profile of the person you are interested in, that is, be sure that you don't turn out to be something that person is NOT looking for. Read that person's forum posts and try to understand what the best approach would be.

Tips i've learned on Collarme - be original, no one liners or corny remarks, or objectifying remarks. Work smart, not hard, and be witty.

Once you are in the right frame of mind, send a message. Be sure to know what you want to accomplish and work on your profile also. A first good impression goes a long way.

I will make an initial approach, but will lose interest if he does not subsequently pursue me aggressively.

seconded.
if it seems like he thinks it's not that important, then i'll assume he's not interested and wander off.
anyway, i don't think it's inappropriate for s-types to approach D-types.



littlewonder -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 11:27:55 AM)

sure..until you're actually in a relationship with the other person you're both just normal, regular everyday dudes. Would you approach someone in real life that you thought you might like to get to know better? Why would bdsm make it any different?

I personally never approached men because well....so very few have ever really caught my attention. Until a man actually approached me I just rarely found them of interest.




tiggerspoohbear -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 11:45:25 AM)

There's nothing wrong with sending an initial message to a Dom who may be of interest to you.  Just make sure you're compatible to his wants and needs.  If you don't receive an answer or a polite "no thank you", then move on.  It's no different than meeting someone in person and seeing if there's a spark there.  Make sure you're polite, show that you've read the profile and any journal entries, and make comments about that also.  Show you've taken the time to read about them as opposed to sending a message about nothing but you. 



Anomandaris -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 11:47:48 AM)

As a newish Dominant, I would definately like it if a sub approached me.

Of course it is.

'Cause there are like... what... THOUSANDS of profiles on CM -- who knows if they've even seen you/your profile in order to "approach" you in the first place?!!  Hit 'em up!!! [:)]




VonGlorious -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 2:23:13 PM)

wow, thank you everyone :) i appriciate the feed back, I to don't see anything wrong with approaching someone at a munch or play party. As far as the internet, I approach, but not too often.


However, from a friend of mine, her view was that she doesn't approach. It could sometimes come off as desperate. I understood her point, but felt it didn't apply to me.


What do you all think? A Submissive approaching first seeming desperate? Could it be the manner in which he/she approaches?



LadyPact -> RE: As a submissive, should i approach you? (7/18/2011 2:25:12 PM)

Style.  Definitely.

Any reasonable person is going to be able to tell if it is a friendly message or if the smell of desperation is so thick that it would make most people hurl.
