ORIGINAL: thezeppo FR I maybe require some education on the workings of findomme (if only someone would start a thread about it!), but for me I think it is the expectation that puts me off. I do take personal pleasure from giving to others, but that pleasure comes from finding the perfect gift for someone, or surprising someone with a gift they weren't expecting. If the dynamic of my relationship was an expectation that I would provide money or gifts as the cost of continuing communication then I doubt I would remain fulfilled for long. That's just me though, different strokes and all of that. Personally I do consider it legitimate, I tend to think that as long as people are happy then that's what matters. As to why people react so strongly to it, I think that has a lot to do with the ubiquitous nature of findomme on the other side. I would venture to suggest that those who have the strongest reactions to it are single sub males who get frustrated with wading through countless profiles saying 'u r beneaf me, i take ur cash and ignore u'. It's not what those men are looking for and a lot of the dommes on the other side seem to be only looking for that. I have some sympathy with that frustration, but I think the obvious conclusion is that Collarme is perhaps not the ideal place to meet 'the one' and that I should spread my wings rather than stamp my feet. Fin-domme can work in a variety of ways: ultimately it is about controlling finances. A responsible, experienced findomme isn't going to kill the goose that laid the golden egg (so to speak). She may set you up on a budget, she may require you to ask permission before spending money on things other than rent, utilities, etc. (the basics of life). It isn't just about the bitchy woman with her hand out to go shopping while flipping you the bird. Yes, that CAN be a part of it, but it doesn't have to be. There are a lot of men with fin-domme profiles that are as you described (as well as young women who think it is an easy way to get cash) so it is up to the fin-sub/slave to do their due diligence to make sure that there is still compatibility if they don't want what you described. I take your point, a lot is lumped together in discussions of findomme. I've just read someone on another thread saying good dominants build up their subs rather than destroy them, and that rang true to me. I suppose if one were to base their impression of findomme purely from the other side, it gives the impression of being a destructive kink. However, I can see how something like budget management could be positive for a sub. As you say, its all about compatibility.
