ORIGINAL: EmpressElsa Before we can ask if someone is fake we must operationalize the word fake. In other words, how do you define fake? Is she fake because she works as a professional Dominant? That is not fake, just different than someone who is strictly lifestyle. No need to get all pissy and use the block button, just say no and move on. Is she fake because she is a financial Dominatrix? That is not fake, just different. Again, just say no and move on. Is she fake because her ideas of BDSM is different than yours? That is not fake either, just different. Is she fake because she is actually a man in disguise, then yes, "she" is fake LOL. The internet is full of fakery, so there's always going to be a certain level of doubt about anything. I don't think there's any real way to know for certain just from looking at a profile. I think in the context of this and similar sites, a "fake" might be defined as someone who labels oneself just for the sake of creating a profile, without it really being a true reflection of their desires or inner self. I suppose it's the difference between an actor playing a role onstage versus how they might be backstage when they're free to be themselves. "Fake" might be too harsh of a term, since that implies a deliberate attempt to deceive, although there are times when the term "artificial" might be more appropriate. quote:
But for all the bitching that guys do about "fake" Dommes, we ladies wade neck deep through thousands of BS notes from males who think they are subs but are really just guys who are looking to get laid and never call again. I have lost count of the numbers of misogynists, selfish pricks, weirdos, clueless dumb asses, scammers, people who are too lazy to think for themselves, etc. I've heard this complaint many times before in similar threads, although looking at it as a sub male, I find it difficult to fathom. It reminds me of this line from the movie The Untouchables: Ness: Hey, wait a minute! What the hell kind of policemen you got in this god damn city? You just turned your back on an armed man. Malone: You're a treasury officer. Ness: How do you know that? I just told you that. Malone: Who would claim to be that who was not? Hmm?
