ORIGINAL: switchblademoi If the guy had simply said, "Here is the approach to BDSM that I like," no one would have batted much of an eye. But when he says, "Here is the approach to BDSM I like, and my way is the only correct way," people are going to of course roll their eyes and tell the guy to stop being so full of himself. I had the same reaction you're describing (eyes rolling, sarcastic answers popping into my head). A possible counter-argument: maybe he's got an entirely different set of goals than most of us. Yeah, saying it that way will turn a lot of people off, but maybe the kind of sub he's looking for will see that and say "Yes! That's *exactly* what I want!" Kind of like sending in a resume consisting only of a picture of yourself chugging a beer with a Slave Leia cosplayer on your lap and the words "I am exactly this awesome!!!!" scrawled across the page in lipstick. Yeah, you'll get rejected 99 times out of 100 (at least), but when you hit just the right employer and get an interview then you've hit the freaking jackpot. quote:
And when he responds with a weepy, "Hmm, I didn't realize the Internet could be so nasty," he just seems more clueless. Okay, that kind of detracts from the whole "I'm a True Master, deal with it" persona. If you're going to go with that pose I'd say you're better off being all in, no dipping a toe then jerking back when you find out the water's cold.
