I think you have a skewed view of what submissive males bring to the plate by their essence of being. It's kind of like the whole doormat analogy. It's rarely real or true, but it serves as a really good stereotype. I identify as a male submissive, a slave when owned by a woman. At the same time, I'm actually quite sought after from time to time by vanilla women, and bizarrely by submissive women. I have a lot I bring to the plate, like a sense of humor, intelligence and an outlook on life that is completely different than your average Joe. When I am involved in a relationship, I am not just some slug that does chores. I'm a living, breathing, vibrant personality that uses my skills to encapsulate a woman's interest and make her life a better moment for the time that I'm in her life. All that is truly different between me and a dominant male or a non-bdsm male is that I'm submissive. I prefer to be told what to do in the context of the relationship. This means I seek out a woman who is bathed in the desire to have someone at her beck and call, someone she can control and decide what is best for her, and as a result, for us. When someone like me becomes submissive, I don't turn into the random slug that is interchangeable with every other random slug. But what still manages to surprise the hell out of me is that SO MANY people still believe this to be the case. I don't mean just a male that's writing about why be a slave, or a woman who doesn't understand the dynamic, but even people who DO cater to the lifestyle. During my 7-10 year hiatus from the community, I found myself in a number of vanilla relationships, and they just weren't for me. Some of us are built a certain way psychologically, and that's not a bad thing. Finding the opposite of us is much harder. Even the Internet match systems aren't designed to help in this. An example is Match.com. I signed up for it, and all they kept hooking me up with were women who were just like me. Finding another submissive, but as a female, might appear intriguing, and for all giggles and purposes, marrying another submissive might be exactly the right thing for me, but such services, as quantitative in nature as they are, are not built to help you find the opposite of what you are, which for a submissive would be a dominant, and for a dominant, a submissive. Anyway, I'm rambling now....
