Honestly, I was simply doing what others have done before me on this thread: Listing my personality traits, and then making a point, based on them. Why this thread has been hijacked, I do not know, but I'll try again to place it back on track.

Was going to hijack the thread, but I suppose a new one's better..

I believe that natural, non-switching dominant women are just rare enough that some people would never have met one and come to the conclusion that they don't exist. The same could be said of natural dominant men, though!
I hope you don't mind, GirlScout. If so, my apologies for not taking the time to check first and I'll edit it out.
I just have to ask this, because it's confusing me so badly. What do people mean when they say something like "natural dominants are rare"? I've heard this sentiment so many times, and I've often asked for explanation when seen, but now I'm just far too curious.
I've never been very social, so I never paid much attention to others outside my family and close friends to notice a lack of dominance. Inside my family, most are at least somewhat dominant. I've come to believe it's a normal, human characteristic that most people have. So is this not the case, or do people mean something more than what I'm readily picking up by "naturally dominant"? (I'm getting now that most people might not be naturally dominant, but for it to be "rare"? That's the part that's confusing me.)
In regards to this, the response I was making was, quite simply, the following ignored portion of my post:

In short, I suppose it could be best said that, the only way to answer your question, is with furthur questions, and, in the end, it all simply boils down to a matter of opinion. A "Natural" Dominant, like many titles, is simply an outlook, or a view, that one individual has on another. I have had many friends and family members try to insist that I am a "hacker", because I know how to go through DoS to fix issues on windows 98 systems, or that I know how to put a computer together, troubleshoot software and hardware. To them, I am a "Hacker". To me, however, a "Hacker" is someone who infiltrates secured networks and computers, to either get a thrill from breaking the security, perform malicious actions upon them, or simply to try to aquire knowledge that it may hold. Thus, titles and classifications are simply a matter of personal and individual opinion, despite their final definations.
Now, lets get back to discussing this point, as opposed to behaving like children and flinging insults, accusations, and trying to prove that "our way" is better than another's.

On the natural dom question I took it to mean someone born that way, and indicated traits I felt a child Dom would have. They are alot like what you've mentioned dealing with, and I also dealt with them myself. I still have trouble dealing with them, I still don't like taking orders, but I believe simaliarly to Najakcharmer in that I feel when at work you should be professional, and do what you are getting paid for. ie do your job. If that job entails taking orders, guess what, I'm taking orders. . . . even if they are from a dumbass who doesn't understand what needs to be done to fix the situation. . . . I also didn't back down as a child. This isn't to say I was a bad ass, because I lost fights just as everyone does. It's part of the learning process to understand there is always someone bigger or stronger than you out there.
