Ok, I'm a power-slut. I enjoy submitting to a man who is successful both in his personal and his business life. I don't necessarily go for the "alpha-male" who pounds his chest and calls attention to his "power", but rather, the guy with quiet confidence, and the success that is behind that confidence.
Money? Is nice, but not the be-all end-all. The guy I'm with now teaches rather than practices as a way to give to the world. (I will admit that sometimes when I see how the people who chose to practice his craft live, as compared to how we live, I do get a twinge of jealousy...but I am proud of him for what he does.)

I look at it this way---politician makes oodles of money and they are doing a really piss poor job at making our country run smoothly, however if I go to McD's I can depend on the guy making my Big Mac---it's gonna be dripping with grease and loaded with calories.   I guess I'd rather have the dude pumping gas, flipping burgers, or working at a video store.   He'll work 8 hours come home and lay on the couch, farting and screaming for a beer and I can wait on him like a good submissive.   The rich dude is going to work 3 hours, call me and lie to say he is working 16 hours when really he is tweeting pictures of his johnson.

wait really? or is this satire? you'd rather sub to a dude who is in charge of the fries at mcdonalds than a senator? or not even the guy in charge of the fries because that's kind of high pressure too....you'd rather have a dude farther down the fry ladder?

I'm with you. I give it one more page before the real reason for this thread is given and it ain't gonna get pretty. Think I'm gonna start the popcorn now

but in a capitalist, status oriented society what is there other than material success or the ability to wield power when it comes down to it? everything else is a consolation prize.

we've had a few other threads that touched on the "alpha" vs. "beta" concepts, and they don't fly for a lot of people.

there are lots of ways to determine success besides financial/material success.

having a certain job doesn't make a person any more or less likely to be able to control themselves. a lot of people living in high end suburbia are living paycheck to paycheck just like people in the ghetto. they may have bigger paychecks, but they blow through them just as fast.

the idea that the amount of money someone has somehow directly equates to someone's ability to lead boggles my mind.

question for submissives: how important is it to you that the man or woman you serve be successful in their real life? i'm not asking whether you're only attracted to sugar daddies/mommies, but do you take into consideration the fact that if somebody is working at a video store or pumping gas they probably can barely run their own lives? or, if we can admit to being just a tad more shallow, don't you find it much hotter when someone is a highly successful alpha type than when they're a lethargic beta type? do you suspect the beta types are just looking for a "submissive" so they can have a girlfriend or a boyfriend who has too much baggage of their own to leave them?

What I suspect is that you've been here before, under a different name, and each time the raison d'être is simply to be inflammatory, but only to the extent that allows you to not be in violation of the TOS.

Have a nice day.

The usual response to anyone calling you out on it is to say "but I'm just asking a question", or some other variation on that theme.

second you only get to go "harumph, i said GOOD DAY SIR" and then storm off with a grand flourish once. i've now lost count of how many times you've tried that move. it's getting a trifle sad so please to contribute to our thread or contribute somewhere else. no need to waste your time pulling the routine again. :D

I have dated alpha and beta types, IF you are using the criteria of not being as well off as an upper class citizen as meaning they are beta. Personally I do not see guys by dollar signs. I have dated, bikers, cops, lawyers, a judge, an actor, people who have worked alongside me in various jobs (and therefore equal), a mechanic and more than a few military men. It is not the money they make, it is the control over ME which mattered. There is charisma, power, a disarming nature, sardonic humor, intelligence and the ability to turn my prudish buttons upsidedown that make me stay with someone for any length of time.
I have met some that I might classify as beta type, that do not meet my criteria for intimacy. And yes I do see many of those as just being "dominant" in order to find a "submissive" who will cling to them. Note that I empathsized both D and S there, because I have also seen submissive types that are sub only to get someone in their lives.
Not that it is a bad thing. People do what they must go get what they need, whether that is kink, or closeness.
