JackHammer2000 -> What Do you Want? (5/7/2007 12:08:13 AM)
What attracts you to a potential or prospective Dom/me? What attributes/qualities would you want your Dom/me to have? What qualities/attributes would turn you off or drive you away from a potential/prospective Dom/me?

katinkka -> RE: What Do you Want? (5/7/2007 12:26:22 AM)
I'm really not visually driven when choosing partners. A fun personality and intelligence are both essential. Solvency is good. Turn-offs... Stroppiness and rudeness. I once had a prospective Dom who I was really considering meeting until he started getting really mad if I didn't respond in a nano-second whilst on messenger. Was a bit over the top for me.

hisannabelle -> RE: What Do you Want? (5/7/2007 12:40:45 AM)
greetings jackhammer, while bisexual, i tend to be more attracted to men in a dominant/submissive capacity than women. beyond that, i am not big on physical appearance, etc. i mostly look for people who are stable, emotionally and financially, and want similar things out of life or if nothing else are supportive and understanding of what i want out of life. i have found in my current relationship that a shared religious/spiritual view is also important to me. i don't want to get involved with someone who wants lots of ums, as i don't plan on having any (although adoption is an option), although being good with ums is a plus. a sense of humor is a must...as well as the ability to deal with my silly, fun-loving, dorky, and occasionally add personality. turn-offs...lacking a sense of direction in life, or the ability to take care of themselves. drug/alcohol/gambling addiction, while it is something i am totally sympathetic to, is also a turn off for me in terms of having a relationship. overbearing, clinginess, etc. is a turnoff, as is playing hard to get...i like a happy medium. if you like me, i want to know, but at the same time, i don't want to be fielding calls from you ten times a day. annabelle.

well, i'm bi and married, so if a Domme were to try to take my Mate out of the equation, that has been a huge turn-off and a red flag of disrespect. beyond that, approuching as though Y/your intire world was sex and kink, that would also be icky. common interst are a great thing, that way if Y/you ever get the point where They're saying, "I'm gonna beat that ( insert noun ) like a ( insert discriptive noun )" E/everyone is understanding the analogy... okay, there is one "look" that i really like. i like it when women have a wild colored sreak in T/their hair.

Eruditegirl -> RE: What Do you Want? (5/7/2007 6:37:11 AM)
Their presence is a major factor for me....it's not what is said....or even what is done....more in the way they carry themselves....and are perceived by me or others....self assured....social grace....mannerisms...this is what attracts my attention from across the room.... There has to be a mind....creative....thought provoking conversation...I crave knowledge in all aspects of life...from D/s to Jung....so I need to be constantly stimulated mentally as well as sexually....this is what keeps my attention Being treated like arm candy....lack of respect for my mind....and wanting to play with me before knowing who I am....this is what loses my attention additional attractions.... long haired Asian men with law degrees.....

I desire for her to be honest, kind and enjoys life. She wants a long-term relationship. I desire for her to be strong and firm for me to submit to her.

littleone35 -> RE: What Do you Want? (5/9/2007 6:08:13 PM)
what atracts me Well physically broad shoulders and a great smile. Bur what really attracts me is and air of total confidence i find that very sexy also a bit of arrogance but just a bit. if he has a good snce of humor thats a +. Qualities well gentlenense it one for sure again confendience (again), loving,gives great hugs. Turns offs those who expect mre to submit to them just cause they call themselves a dom, game players (not gamers i like gamers), punishing me in anger or not tellinf me why i am being punished/displined, not respecting me as a person because i am a sub. I am lucky Masterhas all my turn ons and none of my turn offs. Matt's littleone

Thank you all very much for your kind and thorough responses! I think that everyone agrees on certain common-sense attributes, and everyone is reasonable and realistic in their expectations. Thank you again for posting! :)

someone that really knows what they are doing, how to do it and when to stop. someone that is real and not into playing games.

quote: ORIGINAL: katinkka I'm really not visually driven when choosing partners. A fun personality and intelligence are both essential. Someone once asked me: "What attracts you -- looks or personality?" I replied, "Looks attract me, personality keeps me." quote: ORIGINAL: katinkka Solvency is good. I love that statement. It's succinct, articulate and possibly summarizes what most people will agree upon on this topic. quote: ORIGINAL: katinkka Turn-offs... Stroppiness and rudeness. I once had a prospective Dom who I was really considering meeting until he started getting really mad if I didn't respond in a nano-second whilst on messenger. Was a bit over the top for me. He sounds like a bully. Perhaps it might as well that he came across that way on MSN, so that you don't have to waste any of your time with him, only to find this out later?

gentlewhispers -> RE: What Do you Want? (5/9/2007 8:58:32 PM)
patience, humor, considerate, loving and yet firm....someOne who is wants to get to know me..not just the physical me.. and someone who realizes that above and beyond the most important person in my life is my son.. disrespect to my son, the inability to accept that He is not perfect and can be wrong..and definately anyone who tries to tell me what to do within the first 10 minutes of meeting..

I agree that stability is good; I'd have to say that it should be a primary prerequisite, but I guess I'm just demanding that way... ;) I must agree with you about having similar religious backgrounds/preferences. For many people, their religion dictates a large part of their self-identity. I think that women who have the sense of humour and sense of self to call themselves "silly, fun-loving, dorky and occasionally odd" MUST be the most fun people to go out on dates with.

So, basically, you don't do LOSERS, and you prefer to stay away from the psycho-freaks. Good call. Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, kiddo.

quote: ORIGINAL: JackHammer2000 What attracts you to a potential or prospective Dom/me? What attracts me can vary. With my Master, I began my attraction to him by seeing the way he moves. Intelligence and creativity are also big attractors for me. quote: What attributes/qualities would you want your Dom/me to have? I am picky, I admit- but, I'm also taken by someone who meets my attribute and qualities list, so I don't have to worry about being picky anymore. I would want someone who either identifies as an Objectivist or Individualist in their personal philosophy. That would mean that we are morally compatible, and adhere to similar life principles. I would want them to above all have a sense of life, and be passionate about what they do with their life, about living it. I would want someone interested in similar things to me, and that has other interests to share as well, someone for whom learning is a daily joy, not a burden that ended with school for them. Someone responsible for themselves, who is stable in their life, who carries their own baggage. Creative, intelligent, loves music and art. Analytical, respectful, low-key and somewhat reserved, but willing to open up to me. Selfish, in a rational way. Proud, perhaps even to the point of arrogance, but in a way that is quiet, understated- yet still knows what they need to work on, and does so. Someone who is an aspiring hero is good. quote: What qualities/attributes would turn you off or drive you away from a potential/prospective Dom/me? Someone who didn't match the qualities listed above, simply put. behindmirrors.

ready4srvce4all -> RE: What Do you Want? (5/9/2007 9:11:36 PM)
The attraction isn't a physical one, it's seeing something written in their profile that that shows something of their personality, and let their personality provide the attraction. Attributes I want are the same level of honesty and self disclosure asked of me. It can't be onesided. What is a turn off? Perseveration on something that happened in the past that can't be changed. If it bothersome, say so, end the contact. Lecturing on something that can't be changed serves no purpose, other than waste time. You can either live with the knowledge, or you can't.

Yeah, especially with BDSM, respect is very important.

Yeah, I can see where people who are shallow and single-minded -- especially about sex/kink -- can be a turn off. I'd say that those kinds of people would end up being quite boring -- or worse, embarassingly inappropriate -- in a long-term relationship... quote: ORIGINAL: phoenixinchains common interst are a great thing, that way if Y/you ever get the point where They're saying, "I'm gonna beat that ( insert noun ) like a ( insert discriptive noun )" E/everyone is understanding the analogy... I think it's reasonable to presume that common interests are usually symptomatic of similar world views, and that such commonalities would help with communication, and therefore, the relationship as a whole. Or, did I misunderstand what you said? quote: ORIGINAL: phoenixinchains okay, there is one "look" that i really like. i like it when women have a wild colored sreak in T/their hair. Yeah, I agree with you on that, also. However, it has to "look right" (whatever that means).
