ORIGINAL: submit2one There's a lot of bantering on these boards about a submissive not being expected to behave with respect to a Domme who 'is not his Domme' yet, ever, until, unless, or whatever. I expect any submissive male who is not MY submissive to still treat Me with deference and complete respect, whether out of an innate sense of honor to his own Domme or in deference to his hopes of FINDING a Domme. No, that doesn't mean he has to treat Me as though he's trying to get My attention so that he can serve Me; it only means that he has sense enough to realize that somewhere out there I might be acquainted with the Domme of his dreams. I certainly won't bother to introduce him to HER if he's been lacking in either willingness, deference, politesse or respect in our communication or association, however limited in scope our encounter may have been. A sub who honors a Domme by treating Her with respect, even though She is not necessarily his Domme, does himself the favor of earning a sterling reputation among the Dommes he becomes acquainted with. You can always behave in a respectful manner, regardless of your personal opinion of the Domme in question. It can only be to your advantage to do so. If you want to be rude, ugly, sarcastic, or resistant when dealing with a Domme, whether you know Her well or not, I'd bet the farm She won't be giving you much respect in return. So: No, there is no such thing as any Domme wanting 'too much respect'. Frankly, I dearly miss the days when I could enter a room and be treated with the utmost respect and deference by any submissive in attendance, whether he served Me or not. In showing Me respect, he honored his own Domme and Her training. No one jumped to any rabid conclusions that his deference to My status meant that he was 'serving Me' in any way, whatsoever. It was simply protocol, it was expected, and it was very much appreciated by all. Those were the days! submit2one I do my best to be courteous, polite and respectful with everyone I encounter here or elsewhere in my life and its my hope that I'll receive the same from them as well. However, for me, that's as far as I feel is necessary when it comes to interacting with any woman who considers herself a Domme that I encounter here on the message boards. While I may identify as a submissive male, my submission is something I've not given to a particular woman at this time. In my mind, just because a woman identifies as a Domme, doesn't mean that I should be expected to treat her differently than anyone else who posts here. As she's not gained my submission, in my view, she's also not earned the right to expect any special honors or deferential treatment from me. Now, if she happens to introduce me to the "Domme of my dreams", you can bet she'll become Extra Special to me and that I'll be certain to add her to my Christmas list! - pixel
