I woke this morning and I had an ephiphany. I am starting the think that for the most part this website is turning into an astronomically huge waste of time, and coming from a full time college student who's experienced wastes of time in every degree and manner, thats saying alot! I went into this lifestyle with a few select goals in mind, and aside from actually communicating with a few people that have been very helpful and awesome to talk too, I have found that for the most part the majority of the people on this board seem to have very skewed perceptions of what they want, what they desire, and where they are going and in turn this is screwing me up. The reason it is screwing me up is because I recently had an exchange of email with a Domme on this board who wouldn't even give me a chance to so much as communicate with her because of my reletively young age even though she was only 4 years older then I was, citing a pre-concieved notion of immaturity and drunk dialing escapades at the wee morning early hours. It seems that for the most part, their are a ungodly huge influx of guys on the CollarMe board who view the BDSM lifestyle as just a sexual mecha where new age, sexually deprived closet swingers use whips and chains as an excuse for the end goal of getting into peoples pants faster. In turn this is making the site astronomically hard for me to use. Like I said, Im relitively new to this lifestyle, and I really had no idea what to expect other then just really going in with some set goals and being open and upfront with everybody that I converse with. For the most part, this has worked, but for the majority of the time I have had an astronomically hard time encountering the "barrier" that most dommes have set up against a huge influx of guys, despite my best efforts to adhere to the guidelines. Photos? Check. Well Written profile? (despite some typos, as I have been told) Check. Goals and an open mind? Check. Too bad nobody told me that I am immidietly going up against a huge influx of pre-concieved notions and stereotypes that is already established for my age group. Needless to say, I am starting to have an inkling of an idea that I have a bit better things to do with my time rather then pusue rainbows and water-falls, and this experience is starting for the most part to remind me of why you don't date ex-girlfirends... because you get reminded of why you left the first time. Either that, or I can just try again when I'm 45 years old and I have my own pair of saggy balls, because apparently thats the benchmark for maturity that most people seem to care to use, and not the actual product of the person itself. Youth, it seems, serves nothing in this lifestyle other then to pin you in with the rest of the liquor sqigging, cell phone wielding drunk dialers. Regards, Me
