ORIGINAL: MissImmortalPain Is it typical for a woman to want something out of a relationship? How much relationship currency are you willing to invest? The bulk of guys your age aren't willing to invest as much or more than what you think you can get from a woman in return. Many men are dating-impaired, including older, usually newly separated men re-entering the singles market who wouldn't know how to wine & dine a woman if their lives depended on it. To address your question, you have to differentiate between (1) Dommes who require tribute up front, and (2) a Domme who has become your RT or LD Mistress to whom you are officially collared. In the first case, DON'T DO IT. Would you buy a birthday or Valentine's Day gift for a lady you had never met and not started to date? In the second case, ask yourself what would you be willing to do for a lady you were dating or for your girlfriend under similar circumstances, vis-à-vis the equivalent level of intimacy? Also, sometimes if a Domme is not all that interested in a (pushy) sub, she might demand tribute to discourage him. I don't do this because I consider this to be a passive-aggressive tactical move, but I know of a few Dommes who do occasionally. FYI, one of the main reasons I don't ask for or accept tribute is because there isn't enough tribute or any other kind of extrinsic substitute for a bona fide intimate relationship. The relationship currency of which I spoke to start.
