and, as has been pointed out, there is nothing to stop pro/fins from not stating that they are. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE, FFS!! If it seems to good to be true, chances are slanted to it BEING too good to be true.

if you haven't got the sense to not read too much into something without meeting face to face, whose fault is that?


And, as stated, that's the whole idea of letting the sub males notify CM that a lifestyle profile isn't really lifestyle. If they can screen inappropriate photos --because a user notifies them that it's inappropriate-- they can screen inappropriate profiles --if a user notifies them that it's inappropriate. They would only make the final decision. You need to read my post again. It's really NOT that hard of a concept to understand.

Secondly, nobody is "reading too much" into a profile before meeting face to face. That was a projection on your part. What I said is that it's frustrating to WASTE your time, sometimes hours, trying to get that face-to-face meeting only to find out it was a scam all along. And there's a simple solution to it.


What you don't seem to get is that you are trying to regulate someone else's kink. Man up...pull up your big boy pants, and just block and delete those that you have no interest in.

It's a free site ffs. What you are demanding costs man hours....if you don't like how it is run, demand a fucking refund and close your account. No skin off our nose.

Most lifestyle dommes have absolutely no use for a whiny asshat. If you don't think the lifestylers will look at your forum posts, then you underestimate them.


Thanks for giving a great example of the kind of insulting response I told the OP he could expect. It seems to me YOU are the whiny asshat, intolerant of someone who proposes a perfectly reasonable solution to a long-standing CM problem. And you know what? Man hours? Tell you what: I'll do it for FREE. I'd rather spend my "man hours" helping to weed out the money types, which would not be a waste of time, than hours spent trying to build a connection with a phony. At least the former would have a satisfying payoff.



Except, dipwad, I'm owned and am no longer searching. How is your whining working for you? I actually was able to use my brain to weed through the fuckwads.

What makes you think the owners would trust you enough to do that fairly?

As far as trying to find a REAL dom chick, this place has become almost totally worthless. Every morning when I check the new profiles, 98 percent are either fin dommes, scam dommes or pro dommes HOw about quit looking at the NEW profiles?. Many subs have asked that CM at least divide profiles between those looking for money and those looking for a genuine lifestyle.

They simply won't do it, and their apologists keep coming up with lame excuses like, "what's to stop a fin domme or scam domme from listing as a lifestyle domme?" The REALLY OBVIOUS answer is the sub males who read the profile and/or contact the person and figure that out. If you can report a photo as being inappropriate or wrong in some way, why can't you do that on a profile?[/b] You can[/b]. Surely CM can read the profile or read the response the person gave you and figure out the profile doesn't belong under lifestyle dommes.

Simple. But I guess they figure they'd rather encourage the bullshit because it drives traffic to the site, and that traffic means money.

Hey, CM is free. I realize that. But it has kind of morphed from being an "adult" site to being a "porn" site.

BTW, you'll no doubt get responses from people (almost entirely females) who say they're tired of hearing about it, that the issue comes up all the time. Big sighs, lots of sarcasm. And they'll throw a few insults in there too. Ignore it. These people are part of the problem. If they're really tired of hearing about it, then they should support separating the money and lifestyle profiles.

Oh, and BTW, if someone is a "pro" domme but also a lifestyle domme, they could have two different profiles. And many do.That's fine. Solutions are simple. There is almost NEVER a "PERFECT" solution for anything. What's exasperating is when you have people who think that, gee, since we can't have a perfect solution, it's silly to talk about any solution at all, even a solution that could make things considerably better.


fucking whinger.

They don't screen the photos, an automated feature removes them according to user reports. It says that on the site in several places. Which means that in the end you are asking for man hours from a free site to screen reports of a fin Dom being in the wrong section. I'm not sure, but if you ask a free site for more man hours then how long will it remain free?

You're not seeing the issue here, which is that people will falsely report someone as being fin Doms when that person turns them down. This is the flaw in your logic (along with other things)- you're assuming that people would report truthfully and not get butthurt over rejection and consequently retaliate. Even if the report system were on automatic like the pics, a guy could create sock profiles till he reports enough to get the woman who he is targeting off the site. In fact, there is nothing to prevent a woman that you contact to preemptively report you as something (perhaps suggesting illegal activities?) just to make sure that you don't get to the report feature first because she knows she's going to say not interested, and the chance is there that you'll cry fake and report her. Are you honestly not seeing the potential abuse of the feature that you are suggesting here?

Yes, it's frustrating to find out that there just aren't that many female lifestyle Doms out there. That is what is driving the problem here, even if you got all the fin Doms out of the way there just aren't that many women who Dominate in a lifestyle manner left. It's also frustrating to have about half the men who contact me be married or in a relationship and wanting to cheat. I invest my time again and again only to find this out when they choose to reveal it later, or I figure it out. What can be done about that? Can I get a report feature for that too? If I feel spurned by someone and reported them as being married when they weren't, how fair would the report system on that be then?

No offense but Dude, do you know how big this site is? Honestly, how well does anyone who is running it know you? How do they know what your modus operandi is? If an unknown person came up and told me he/she would give me a free oil change right then and there I'd turn it down- wouldn't' you? How would you know if they weren't just fucking around in there under the hood.

Your frustration is understandable as are all the other people who cannot find what they want here. Like most things in life, it always comes down to a combination of work and persistence. As you pointed out, people get shot down for proposing suggestions, the part you are missing is this happens because those suggestions have abuse potential, wouldn't work, or are unrealistic. I always say, show me something that would work fairly and I'm on board. In my time here I've never seen a good solution to the problem that you are upset about. Therefore I tend to think that people can do a better job themselves at searching for what they want in a manner that works for them.

You know I was going to say "at least he didn't say some stupid off the wall shit about fin dommes being prostitutes or jobless", or some other dumb shit. But before I could get that out of My mind and onto the screen, I saw his "other dumb shit" posts. This guy is always negative as hell, and stirs up bullshit with everyone he talks to. No wonder he cant find anyone.


I never really understood the whole "WORTHLESS" term those princess Dommes call subs. To Me they aren't worthless, they pay for all types of shit for me. That's far from worthless.

You know what? You guys should just ignore every point I made. You're going to anyway, to make yourselves feel better, and I'd like to contribute to that. So let me just say: YOU'RE RIGHT!!!! EVERYTHING I SAID WAS WRONG, STUPID AND BENEATH YOU. IT WAS DEVOID OF LOGIC!!!!!

But now that I have your guidance (NONE of you being submissive heterosexual males of course), I see the ERROR of my ways.

GOOD LORD YOU GUYS RRRAWWWKKK!!!!!

I am not sure if this is simply limited to the Michigan area, but I have seen a disturbing trend of financial dommes popping up all over the place. What troubles me more is that there is an eerie similarity to all of these profiles. I have emailed a few and gotten very similar responses. In one case two different dommes had exactly the same items on their Amazon wishlists.

I realize that this site is full of fake profiles but this seems to be taking it down another direction towards borderline fraudulent behavior. Is there anyway to report these people or at least look into further.


As far as trying to find a REAL dom chick, this place has become almost totally worthless. Every morning when I check the new profiles, 98 percent are either fin dommes, scam dommes or pro dommes. Many subs have asked that CM at least divide profiles between those looking for money and those looking for a genuine lifestyle.

Jiminy crickets on a pogo stick!!!

All your whining seriously took the buzz off my cold medicine. Since you have such a superior intellect~ why dont you enlighten the rest of us adults what you deem to be " REAL" You volunteered to go through all the profiles to classify what, to you, is fin versus lifestyle dommes. Ummm~ it states when signing up on the other side that you have to be an adult to sign up. Part of being an adult is having the common sense to block those that dont peak your interest. Plain and simple. Part of being an adult is also not to whine when you dont find what you are looking for on the internet or in real life.

Oh Lana, have you not met our "about once every three month whiner about anything pro Domme"? Meet Dink, he is a real charmer. He also knows more about your life, than you do. :)

Also there should be "like" buttons for these posts like FB has, because Bella's was great!!

Come on now, what do you expect? His first post here was to whine about the dommes who he thinks are "looking for EXACTLY someone like me" who didn't think enough of his emails to reply. Doesn't look like anything has changed much for him since 2005, and that's just plain sad.

Point well made. I love that you can look at forum posts of each member. Says a lot, as does their journals. This guy really is hopeless. I really would love to hear his explanation of why he is still alone, seriously. Not just from this site, but out in the real world.

2005? Using the "three month" guideline, that's roughly 28 instances of crazy.

According to the search, yes, that was your first post here. What exactly was dishonest about what I wrote?
