First off being submissive does not mean you are necessarily submissive to everyone. Too many people associate being submissive with being weak or shy. There are many Alpha type submissives out there.

Many submissives choose to only be submissive to one person. But to everyone else they can be very Dominant. This is not uncommon and you actually hear it in the news a lot with high profile politicians/lawyers etc.

This is how I am. I am extremely dominant at work and play. But to that one special person I will willingly give up that control :)



Exactly why my "Alpha Submissives: How To Yield Your Strength" class was the most packed on Saturday last.

LOL, yes! Good news. I had to put a jetsetter sub in his place last night for using "autocorrect" as his excuse when I didn't like his response. I told him, "you have two things working against you right now (from starting gate), number one, I'm not needy, and number two, I'm not stupid. But if you beg enough I might give you another chance at this."
*He begs imploringly*
Me; "Good job begging, get used to it." [:D]

Servant leadership works nicely for me. The crux of this management style is putting others first. "From initial project-planning stages to final implementation, servant leaders think about how they can best serve others." (Keiller) As such, I don't feel a need to reconcile my work life with the rest of my life. I live all of it with the same intention.

Yes. It's amazing what can be done with just a bit of shock and awe. But that would be the "How to dominate an Alpha sub" class...

*grins*

Hmm, then maybe I didn't explain the "punishment dynamic" better. The scolding in itself was a form of "punishment" or rather "corrective learning" to hinder future missteps. He later explained it and I'm glad I didn't dismiss him entirely but when someone is a UC Berkeley or Stanford graduate there is the presumption of being "more intelligent" or rather more dismissive of others' intelligence over time. It is a learned behavior among others. A common requirement for alpha subs in my experience is corrective learning, there has to be a natural inclination to respect therefore submit and small reminders of what "sets you apart" from the typical vanilla girl who may pander. This is what I mean by there being "hurdles" in submission from such a sub.
And Kaliko thanks for the perspective. It really made me think.

They're only blokes, after all. It's not that difficult. You probably knew most of what worked at age 16.

I'm not sure why you thought that didn't come across. It did.

As surprising as this may be...I sorta live my life this way as well.
I'm a gm now but it is always my focus to lead in a way that makes everyone else's life easier and provides a service to my employees and patrons.

Although not service focused with my guy- I am usually more than willing to help out where needed or take things off his plate of need be. I've never really considered it service or submission, just something a decent partner does. He does it for me as well so I've always viewed us as equal in the relationship...

I view management the same way. I did some training in servant leadership and as I learned what it was about, I said more than once "Who wouldn't manage this way? Isn't this pretty much the same thing as not being an asshole boss?" (Okay - not in so many words.) But, I guess, it is not as widely practiced as one would think.

Therein lies the "trouble" with labels like this.

I believe in servant leadership. I do serve my subs. In the ways I see fit, but still. And I am not an asshole. Some even mistake me for not dominant. LOL!

Silly wabbits.

I believe a big part of the responsibility of being a leader is to tend and care for those I lead. That means, serving them in helping them grow and find the right paths to take.

Lookie, you said that women known to be sub are considered sexy. But that's not what you want to be thought of at work. Sub women are viewed as easy. They aren't viewed as powerful people who can close a deal or be trusted with control of a project.

Nobody should be viewed on the job through the lens of their sexuality. Everybody loses.

As far as you being unable to date because being seen holding her chair for her would make you be seen as a wimp? I call bs. Unless you're a NFL player or a boxer. that's not the case.


No argument but....a man announcing themselves (or known for...at least in 2015...our time will come in time....as LGBTQ has now over decades and decades of perseverance...but for a male sub, it's still a real issue) either for being a sub OR a Dom, are often construed as weak/laughable and at worst, preying on women.

One only has to look here....at CM/CS posts...."hi, I'm a dominant female and I'd...."...she's devoured from every corner by sub males, the world over. How many times have I read on posts..."I can't even answer my emails" from women....men....we're lucky to even be acknowledged....and yet, a woman can put up a profile {tomorrow morning}..."I hate Jews, black people, Mexicans and I think Hitler was a totally awesome guy" and you'd be flooded with "you're exactly what I'm looking for".

Guys, we can add every flowery reference and....we'll be lucky to be accosted by Mod 3 (Whom I'm informed is one sexy lil thang)....(That was blatant sucking up but.....da's wut we as men's dooo's).

Reverse it and, unless you have 12 years behind you (and 30 references)....a male expressing himself as a Dom is at best questionable (and this is discernible purely from female responses herein).

Male sub profiles...."I wish for...but I'd be willing to...if you would consider me....I'd....."

Female sub posts....."I'm a sub, a nurturing....but if you think that I'll....and don't ever ask me to...."

Yet over those two same profiles, men will be presumed as "playing/pandering"....."I've heard that song before"....women, (of course, are) telling the truth.

Both are unfairly false.

I'm confident all of that and more is due to women being preyed upon....I get it and anyone that doesn't is stooopit. Chics are pursued....sometimes dangerously so.

Work (and...outside of this and similar venues) wasn't the main point but, even if it were and, the two could be separated (which they cannot for this argument be, for either sex)....a woman is perceived as sexually more desirable under either scenario....a man....(far) less so.

(And by the way....whether I was a sub or a Dom...I would always hold out a woman's chair and I would always open her door....da's wut my Momma taught me and....even if she hadn't....the fairer sex deserves at least that....they're God's gift and every man knows that....there is no equality in the sexes...and I do date....but my predilections aren't something that comes out on a first {or 4th} date unless I start out with someone who shares at least....(our....here) understanding.

Dating, as a sub male, therefore, is VASTLY more complex than under any sexual orientation for a woman. Note, I never said it was easy for either...just....more than obviously....easier for a woman under any guise.
