ArouseMe07 -> Proper way to approach another Dom about his sub? (4/28/2007 12:49:39 PM)
Okay, I need some etiquette advice. D/s couple with profiles on CM suggesting they wanted another Dom to play w/ the sub, supervised by the Dom. So, I message the Dom saying I was interested, but got back a "you're a jerk, go away" response. He was probably right, but that was not my intent. What is the proper way to approach such a situation on CM? In rl?

What is the proper way to approach such a situation on CM? In rl? Well IF the other profile stated that they were looking for play partners and IF the other profile stated to contact the dom in the relationship and IF you were respectful in how you approached him AND you still received a response like that; then I would chalk it up to a waste of time, forget about it and move on.

I probably wasn't respectful. I guess that's my question, in a nutshell. How to be respectful. Asking nicely doesn't seem to fit the bill. Not something I feel comfortable yet doing, and it probably showed/shows. Any advice?

What is the proper way to approach such a situation on CM? In rl? Maybe they thought you were a jerk cause you admitted you needed some guidance? I dont know, people are funny...they write one thing but seem to want something else. Dont give up. Maybe find someone whose writings on the boards you respect, and approach them with your desires to learn, either by sharing the sub or by instructions in play. Everyone starts somewhere and I truly believe that those who want or ask for some sort of guidance end up not being abusive cause they think they are doing it right. I do have my private thoughts on this issue and wish people werent so rude... to others of less experience

If you approached my Sir stating you were looking for instruction and would like to know if He could share me ... just like that, He would NOT find it disrespectful, infact, He would want to know more about you and then He would discuss me. But then that is Him. Not pretentious and very patient.

Can't improve on that advice.... points wot she said!

Perhaps you receaved a response from the "sub" who did not know what was "planned". or its a single male doing some "fishing"

Not something I feel comfortable yet doing, and it probably showed/shows. Any advice? I'm curious as to why you wouldn't ask nicely. This other dominant is not below you. You should definately be respectful or be completely unsurprised and, indeed, expect the response you are getting. I often play with other doms at play parties. But if one were to be rude to or about my dominant or my relationship, I would tell him exactly where to get off and possibly tie his gentials into a pretty bow. I mean... I'm a complete sweetheart...

"Pardon the intrusion, but I noticed the comment on your profile about other Doms playing with your sub. I am in discussing this with you. If you are interested, please drop me a line at your convenience. Thank you." Can't see something like that as being a jerk.

ArouseMe07 -> RE: Proper way to approach another Dom about his sub? (4/28/2007 2:58:20 PM)
Okay - I understand now. The distinction I would make between being respectful and asking nicely is between being courteous and being too pleading. I don't think I was rude, but rather terse and to-the-point. Everything is a learning experience. Appreciate all the thoughts and advice.

Greetings Arouse, If someone sends me an email stating that they have seen the post and would like to enquire further, then a reply giving more info would be benefitting. If you got back a reply that you had, then red lights flashing above your head...danger will robinson, danger. The bottom line would be that the profiles would be the same person and just wanting to get some emails from people that they would show their mates at school. The profiles would be false and just wanting to get people to send emails, simple. Don't loose sleep over it. Be well. Frank Ar.

Without knowing what you wrote, everything we say is just a guess. But, I think people sometimes lose sight of the fact that even if a Dom is looking for another Dom to play with his sub.....it doesn't mean that he'll let just anybody play with his sub. Within that context, Master would want to know who you are and if he can trust you with his most prized possession. Any conversation that started out by degrading me such as "slut" etc. would end quickly. Any conversation that started out with description of sexual acts, or that asked about my body parts would also end quickly.

On of the challenge with those quick response boxes on profiles is the seem to lend itself to really short messages when what might be needed is a bit more finesse. I guess in some ways it is not different than you might approach a person in the flesh. IMO the same finesse and people skills are required.

Elorin -> RE: Proper way to approach another Dom about his sub? (5/4/2007 12:07:07 AM)
~using fast reply~ Do you care to share what you said to them, and then perhaps your note could be critiqued? Privately or on the board. ~Elorin

I think this is the best advice you're going to get. quote: ORIGINAL: IrishMist Well IF the other profile stated that they were looking for play partners and IF the other profile stated to contact the dom in the relationship and IF you were respectful in how you approached him AND you still received a response like that; then I would chalk it up to a waste of time, forget about it and move on.
