My first instinct is to say that you should keep looking for what you need, because trying to change yourself and/or settle for something that doesn't really do it for you rarely works long term. That said, just from these few sentences it can be difficult to be sure what you are talking about. There is 'cocky' as in cheeky, and then there's cocky as in 'insufferable ass'. These people who start licking your boots when they started out as doms - the doms I know and interact with wouldn't submit in response to someone being a brat. They might walk away, sure, but they wouldn't lick your feet because they're not wired that way. So this makes me think that a) you're picking partners who are into being forced to submit themselves and b) you're not communicating well what you are looking for, and they think you want to win. Any scene involving real force or serious 'punishment' to bring someone into line is risky - physically, emotionally and legally. This isn't a meet-and-beat type activity. Your odds are much better of getting this with a committed relationship, or at least a regular play partner with plenty of time to trust each other and build up to the serious stuff. Thing is, if you're always putting up the struggle all of the time, you don't give much chance for that rapport to be gradually built. Keeping someone in line constantly is exhausting. In a relationship, constantly testing their authority undermines it. It never allows them to rest and relax, which even big tough uber-doms need to do. You're constantly demanding they prove themselves to you. While this can be hot as hell during a scene (I like a good fight as much as anyone), if you can't tell when to draw the line it will be a problem. You either need to learn to actually submit without drama and save the fighting for fun time, or find a partner who is happy to not be in charge outside the bedroom and save this play for then. I understand the desire to be forced or humbled. I really do. And I often appreciate being brought back into line every now and again as a reminder of what's what. But ultimately if he can't count on my submission - if I don't show him that I respect his leadership and trust him to be in charge - it becomes more of a passive-aggressive attention getting game. By fighting you are saying 'I don't believe you are the leader'. Everyone deserves to be in a relationship with someone who believes in them. I think you can definitely get the kind of scenes you want. But for a whole relationship, yes, too much effort.
