I've noticed a trend where some people start posts that appear as a complaint, but really look like a way to get attention

Dommes wanting too much respect 

Its not always the subs fault 

Respected Profile?  

Do you believe that dominance gives one the right to be selfish?

I could go on, but we've all seen these posts ... mean Dommes, scary Doms, rude subs, Pro-Dommes, etc.

Wouldn't it be better to just take these posts for what they are and collectively ignore them?

I'm interested in getting information and insight into the lifestyle from this forum, but too often conversations deteriorate into "bash and defense".

These seem more like Off Topic Discussions than General BDSM questions.  I thought this forum would be more help, but it's just not all that helpful anymore.

As for those people that like to interject their humorous comments - thank you, we all need a good laugh.


i will stand by "me"... and my "selfish doms" thread too!  *grin  But now that i have been found out...*sulks*  by one who obviously holds such a lofty vision and vantage point, *hangs head* i will not hide behind my thin veneer or facade...therefore i am shamed into a forced admission...i stand exposed...*gasps for da courage* and will enter my guilty plea...i stand before thy tribunal of judges...*have mercy on a girl* as one who has offended those who have duely sworn to the oath of claiming to want little to no attention...for i am weak...*sniff* i am...an ... admitted...attention junkie....*applause from fellow commrades*  sighs of relief...thank you...thank you all...who have helped me realize my addiction....i tried to hide it, but was erroneously discovered...by a poser who, i believe may actually be the head and founder of the attention junkie special task force and sting operation...whooda thunk it?  Yup!

Oh death where is thy sting?  i shall stand...and try my best to not share anything that would garner even one shred of that dreaded attention... and further more...if i ever do...get weak in my resolve...i promise...i won't get caught by the attention junkie special task force ever again!!!! *weg*  As she runs off, with an evil glint in her mind's eye...back...to the drawing board to devise a fiendishly wicked stealth modus operandi for the future take over of those who wish to deprive her of the attention for which she hungers...ah... Thanks TGD! that was fun...*grin


Is it me, or is anyone else getting a twinge of sarcasm from this?  ;-)

If someone with 3497 posts and a funny track record asks why he can't find a Domme, it's more likely to be perceived as funny than if a newbie does the same.  I could post it in humour, someone else would get ridiculed.



I might observe that the person might have better luck finding a Domme if they logged off and went out into the Real World.

But I could be wrong.

I'm just making a point about posts that provoke profile-viewing, not the likelihood of success with said strategy.

I figure, read, post and the drama will die down a bit. It comes in waves.. always has and always will.  So, ride it out.

Now I wonder why the other domme's have not just said this is jjust another submissive looking for attention? Since thats all it is.

Nope.  It's not him airing his anger or interpersonal drama or flying a flag that he's a defective human being.  He's just pointing out some interesting coincidences.  That to me is a valid (albeit silly) topic of discussion.

Attention Seekers Society is never involved (with) negative energy .....

That could be our motto but then it would be ASSININE


Which would be bad because the word is "asinine"...unless the bad spelling was meant to attract MORE attention, in which case carry on!


mea culpa <does bad spelling subbie penance>

I must learn how to spell all words correctly including Qguage's name.  500x <dammit dammit dammit>

I just thought this particular forum should be more informative as there are new people joining each day and to have threads that say, "My sub lied, what do I do?" seems like an answer to itself.

There is no community in my town (that I'm aware of yet) so I have to travel if I want to find a munch or other gathering.  Having only been looking into the lifestyle for a few months (having to rid as many misconceptions as I am learning the ins and outs) I'm not at the point to just have someone "strap me down and do their thing".  I haven't even fully come to terms whether I'm cut out for the lifestyle or not (and it maybe I won't know until I actually participate) but I'm trying to get as much knowledge and to see how the Dommes generally think and operate - it not so much what someone says that makes an impression, but how they say it.

There are some excellent threads that even though the information may be basic, watching the direction of the discussion provides a wealth of knowledge in itself.  It just appears that some threads, that probably should be in Off Topic Discussions, end up in this forum and the gist of the comments on those threads are "another wanker".

It wasn't my intention of starting a "wanker thread" with this post; I'm just disappointed that discussions on important / interesting topics were being hijacked.

Of course, I have no real experience and some of you will consider me a wanker, attention seeker, a nobody and there's nothing I can do to change your opinion and I don't suppose it would do any good if I could.  I am generally interested and serious in learning all I can, finding if I do fit in, and going from there.

It wasn't my intention to be insulting, irratating, or offensive to anyone on this forum.  If you feel slighted, then I apologize - I just thought too many non-serious BDSM threads were pushing out discussions on something of more use.

I especially love the ones where both the sub and the dom get into the act together and toss he said she said private information around. Usually this spills over into the readership who egg on the play by plays. Then the original posters become highly insulted, and vow to never visit this god awful site again. Yum yum. My favorite. When we get another one of those going please?

Considering the fact that I always get the feeling it is someone's warped little fantasy land I am sure it would not be difficult at all.
First you gotta make up a sub profile......searching, a dom/me profile searching........wait two days........switch sub profile to"under consideration" and of course mention the dom/me in everything you write, be sure to include alot of words like true etc......have the dom/me jump in occasionally when the sub profile says some stupid shit.......wait another couple days.....put the sub profile to "happily collared to my one" don't forget to tack on an ever so important slave ID #......then make lots of posts about how said dom/me is so perfect wonderful The One yada yada yada.........Then start some relationship drama.......maybe even create a new profile for a faux neighbour or best friend that has known you for yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaarrrrrrrssssss ....................................you get the general idea...
