subryan -> How to court an online mistress (1/3/2007 9:05:51 PM)

I'm probably looking for something that doesn't exist in the first place, but am hoping to find a loving and dominant woman to take the lead in our relationship.  I have no trouble finding women in the vanilla world, but I need something more powerful and have come to collarme to find her.

The trouble is that I'm not sure of the protocol.  Each woman receives a lot of email each day, I'm sure.  And I don't want to just be another drop in the bucket. 

What should I avoid doing?  I already know the obvious - I'm not an idiot who would send an unbidden picture of my penis.  I don't babble on about what I want.  I try to stay concise.  I don't use one letter to write "you." 

I can't bring myself to post a picture and I don't feel entirely comfortable sending one without knowing the woman.  How much of a problem will this be?  I understand the need to know if the man is attractive, but I fear that a lot of the "dominant women" on here are actually men.  And I'm just not interested in submitting to a man.  I'm looking for a female-led-relationship.

Finally, are there any rules of decorum that I don't know about emailing?  For instance, is it frowned upon to write to a couple of women in the same day?  Or should I write at all - or let the woman find me?  Just because I'm looking for a female-led-relationship, does that mean I'm also looking for a female-led-courtship?

Thank you for your opinions - and if you know any women in the DC Metro area who might be interested in a shy but incredibly handsome man, please point them my way.

Every Mistress is diffrent, but I know for me I am looking for a few things...
-a photo is important to me; I post my out in the open so the least someone can do is provide me one in the email
-no novels about your 'ideal; scene
-I find it hard to take someone serious when the write to me about 24/7 right off the bat...or, even  worse, 'no-limits' do-anything-you-want...
-listing 'punishment' which are really what you want most

I could go on, but I am sure other Mistresses will add...

The most imporant thing you can do is to be honest and wary...the right mix of the two should serve you well...




subryan -> RE: How to court an online mistress (1/3/2007 9:24:40 PM)

Thank you for replying so quickly. 

And I know each Mistress is different.  I suppose I'm just looking for a sampling so I don't step on any toes. 

I generally start off by trying to focus on the vanilla interests mentioned in the profile.  I find that, because I'm interested in so many things, we often have a lot in common.  I've been trying not to talk about sex really at all unless I hear back from the woman - I don't want to jump the gun.  But I'm not hearing back.  So I suspect I'm doing something wrong.

I'm looking forward to reading this thread and getting a better feel for what is necessary.  Also - is there a place on the profile that I'm missing where it shows what ages the woman is looking for?  If not, there should be.  I don't want to waste anyone's time.

Thanks again for responding.

SweetDommes -> RE: How to court an online mistress (1/3/2007 9:42:54 PM)

Unfortunately, some people who claim to be Dommes (or submissives, or slaves, or blue-toed rhinos *snicker*) don't really deserve the title.  People are rude no matter where you go, so if you aren't getting replies, and you are reading the profiles and writing well thought out messages, then write them off as either too busy or too rude to give you any time anyway and move on.

Not having a picture will hurt your chances with some - especially those like Holly and me, Lupine and others who have their pictures up.  However, if you aren't comfortable with it, then that is the comfort zone that you have to maintain - some of us will overlook it as long as you show yourself to be worthy of us making an exception.  We do require pictures relatively soon in communication, though, so be prepaired for that ... we get a lot of people claiming to be something other than what they really are, and it's nice to have a face to go with a name (even if it could be a picture of Joe Smoe from Anytown, USA).

Mostly just be yourself and keep trying - it took us years to find our first boy, and it's been years that we have been looking for a second. 

The person who originally posted this has vanished into the mists, but it's still appropriate to keep in mind (paraphrased because I can't find the original anymore *sniffle*):

When you are looking for a car - any car, it's easy
When you are looking for a chevy, it narrows the field a bit
When you want a blue chevy, it gets a little harder
When you want a blue chevy 4-door, it gets a bit harder
When you want a navy blue chevy 4-door with 6 cd changer, fewer than 50k miles on it, leather seats with warmers, and all the other bells and whistles, then it gets really damn hard to find what you are looking for.

Same with a partner - if you want one, any one, it's easy
When you throw in all the things that you are looking for, be it vanilla interests, kinks, backgrounds, whatever, it gets harder and harder.

Be patient, you'll find what you are looking for.



subryan -> RE: How to court an online mistress (1/3/2007 9:52:33 PM)

That makes a lot of sense.  Especially the part about being patient.  I've just been looking for this woman for so long and have such high hopes for collarme, that every second is an eternity. 

I would consider posting a picture of someone that looks a lot like me but isn't me.  But then I decided that would be a problem.  I want to be completely honest.  So I'll keep hoping that the girl of my dreams is willing to overlook a little professionally-based cowardice.

SweetDommes -> RE: How to court an online mistress (1/3/2007 9:56:16 PM)

Pardon me for laughing, but ... [sm=biggrin.gif]

You are the same age as me, so you can't have been looking for that much longer - and our boy is 10 years older and has been looking since he was in his early 20s ... he found us 3 years ago.  You will find many people who have been looking much longer and are still looking ... just remember, patience.



belljar -> RE: How to court an online mistress (1/4/2007 6:08:43 AM)

Well, first of all, READ her profile. Really read it. and if she asks for a photo....send one right away. To be honest, the guys on here that I have actually responsded to did the following:

1. The mail was somewhere between a novel and two sentences.
2. The picture they included wasn't just one picture, was more than one, and included a candid of them that was interesting/silly/corny, whatever, gave me a peek at the real person behind the kinks.
3. I knew they read my profile, rather than just looked at my first picture or two.
4. It was obviously not a "form letter"....which I get alot of. Don't bother.
5. And I know some have said that "hey if I don't reply, it likely means I won't ever", which can be true...but if your second mail (if you really dig her) is different from your first, maybe contains an extra photo, something else in there witty and intelligent....it'll say "I'm really interested in YOU, not just the idea of you".

If you want specific examples, mail me. I'll show you.
But of my 12 pages of emails on here that I've gotten since I did a new profile not too long ago, I responded to only 20%, and only about 4 guys did I take the conversation off of Collarme. So yeah. You just have to hit the one Domme to whom your pictures and emails click.

First, I don't consider myself an online mistress, but here are my reactions to some of your questions.

Get over it, plus if one reads your profile, it becomes clear that this is not really your concern, your concern is people in your real life realizing you are kinky.  Post a pic with your face blurred out, or identifying marks covered/cut out, whatever, but get a pic, and one of you.  If you posted a pic of someone who wasn't you, that's totally messed up, and I would consider it a form of lying.

I consider it rude if you're attempting to establish a relationship with me and several others at the same time.  If I'm being gracious enough to bestow my attention on you, then I expect you to stay the course until I either accept or dismiss you.  I do not think waiting for the woman to find you is a great plan, I know that I only get around to browsing profiles once every 3 or 4 months, and even then I get very bored very quickly.  I would suggest that waiting for ME to initiate contact, let alone courtship would be a very bad plan, because it would never happen. Also while I will dictate the pace and style of courtship, I expect any and all subbies I take under consideration to be eagre and enthusiastic in their desire to serve and be of service.

Well, I'd say the first thing you need to do is rid yourself of this negativity. The best way to make a loving and dominant woman shy away from you is to tell her that you don't think she really exisists. A Domme that might otherwise have been seriously interested could see a line like that as part of the usual negativity that tends to be reflected onto female dominants. ie- Women can't really be dominant, the Dommes here are all fakes, you're all just looking for money, so on and so forth.

Just my thought.



Stephann -> RE: How to court an online mistress (1/4/2007 9:12:58 AM)

Ryan,

There are several threads that address this topic.  You might try doing some searches, the advice there is usually pretty good.

If I were a male sub looking for a female dominant here on collarme, I'd probably stick to the forums here.  A couple weeks of posting gives you a chance to see what some of the ladies are like, and gives them a chance to see that you're sincere.  Then, an introductory letter won't simply be a 'Hell, I am a XXXX looking for XXXXX please read my profile and XXXX.'  You'll possibly have already exchanged ideas, and at least be able to comment on something more profound than 'you have lovely photos, and we both seem to enjoy 80s music, lets chat.'

Oh, and patience.  It can take several months for a submissive male to encounter a dominant female in any venue - online or off. 

Finally, confidence.  Chicks dig guys with confidence.  Guys dig chicks with confidence, for that matter.  Chicks dig other chicks with confidence.  Guys dig... well, you get the point.  Seriously, the biggest stumbling block I've ever seen (and dealt with myself) was someone with poor self-esteem miserable because they have terrible luck with relationships.  It's one of the most destructive self-fulfilling prophecies on earth.

Good luck,

Stephan

all4yourplsr -> RE: How to court an online mistress (1/4/2007 11:12:59 AM)

How about how a Domme approached a sub here?   I had a supposed Domme e-mail me with "when can we meet?" as her introductory e-mail!   Yes, I want a Domme but come on now!!

Oh, I know a lot who didn't find it until 40, 50, 60 ... and some who are 65+ and still haven't found it ... but of course, (to the OP) if you give up, you won't ever find it.  Now, that's not to say that they didn't have any success at all ... just didn't manage to grasp that elusive (no matter what flavor your kink is) long term, lasting, loving relationship.

We just had a setback in our search for a second boy - we were only talking, working on friendship first and seeing where it would go ... I thought things were going rather well until he expressed a hard limit that is absolutely incompatable with our plans and goals for the future.  All other things we seemed to be VERY compatable in, but that one, seemingly little thing ... and it means that we will never go beyond friendship with him.  I'm not entirely disappointed, as I enjoy talking with him greatly so at least we are still friends - but it would have been nice to be done looking.



subryan -> RE: How to court an online mistress (1/5/2007 2:41:19 PM)

Thank you all for your answers.  I didn't mean to imply that I would give up and I know patience is key.  

I will take your suggestions to heart.  I'll find a photo I can post online that at least partially conceals my identity.  But it'll be better than nothing. 

Thanks again.



subsidize -> RE: How to court an online mistress (1/10/2007 10:37:41 AM)

on line relationships are for wannabes and players...real people attend play parties and interact with real people...



EnglishPortia -> RE: How to court an online mistress (1/10/2007 11:22:35 AM)

I put a lot of effort into my profile. So I like prospective submissives to actually read it, digest it, and consider if I am the kind of Mistress they can jive with. I therefore expect them to mention it when they contact me. I expect them to tell me something about themselves and to sell themselves to me. I mean I get approximately 20 emails a day from prospective submissives. I reply to every email I get, because its good manners. Often this will be thanks but no thanks.

Actually a lot of the time I prefer contacting prospective submissives myself, and it's how I got talking to my current prospective submissive (who in a most unDommely way I'm most excited about meeting!) shh... don't tell the twu Dominant P/police!

I agree with belljar.  I want to know more about the person writing to me than just their kinks.  In my profile I say if you send me a photo of you I will reply in kind.  Maybe you could try that and see how it goes.  Oh, and personally I personally love long novel like messages about everything from kink to hobbies.
