ORIGINAL: ARIES83 Even if it's non-sexual, and only a maid or cleaner type of relationship, I still only want females service/serving me. Why? Because personally... I would see a man that would grovel and scrape to me as weak and I find weakness a distasteful quality to observe in another 'man'... Well, I don't share your gender biases but I do share your dislike of groveling and scraping. I don't really see a problem there though. "Go mow my lawn without groveling, scraping, or obsequious behavior." Problem solved. For me this wouldn't be a "power" thing. LOL, I can't imagine grasping for power the way many seem to. I got some I'd like to give away right now -- as is usually true. quote:
Hill said: Some of these guys were subs and were more than happy to serve drinks, carry trays of appetizers, man the cloak room and empty ashtrays in the play space like a good domestic See, this sounds like what I'm thinking. I go to restaurants and clubs and males do this stuff for me and it doesn't offend my sensibilities in the least. I can't see why I would feel differently if it was "mow my lawn" or "wash my dishes" other than the trust issue of having someone in my house. But for us guys that's easier than for women. quote:
WiseSteven said: To me, it means someone that comes over, goes places with us, etc. Someone coming over for a specified chore and then leaving without more interaction - that doesn't fit my concepts. *nod* You are connecting the service to a larger relationship tapestry. I'm always curious though whether this is true for the server's mind. I have no problem using people as an extension of my will. I do it all the time with random strangers much less Carol. If that was the button that needed to be pushed then it's easy enough for me to do it and it sounds like a win-win scenario. I'm just not clear on whether the need is actually more expansive and that word "service" is misleading.
