i would agree with a couple of other posters on the difference and will reference some of those posters in this post, i hope that is okay. beth, who is her post calls herself a doormat, is not someone i would define as a doormat based on the connotation that word has come to have. quote:
To me, doormat has negative connotations because its indicative of being walked on. A doormat is someone who stands by weakly while some one uses, abuses, and generally disrespects them in ways that they are NOT ok with. It's the in ability to stand up for ones self in bad situations. So when our dear most favorite troll says that he wants a doormat, to me that's saying he wants some one who he can trample, stomp on, and treat poorly in all manner, and will still lay at his front door despite feeling completely abused and unhappy in the relationship. I fail to see the positive side of this. Being obedient and compliant is not one with being forced to do things that are sincerely harmful to your being That to me is my definition of doormat and beth does not seem to fall into that category. It is apparent from almost every one of her posts, how much she loves and trusts Merc and what respect and love he has for her. heartfeltsub, the happy and respected doormat that enjoys the relationship she does with Master, as it exists, was the doormat that previously submitted to folks who, on occasion, used, abused and disrespected this slave long before He ever came along. the only time this slave "stood up for herself" was when her life---the breathing in and out part---was in jeopardy. she handed out the same amount of trust, submission and love to those previous intimate partners as she did with Master~MOST, not all, did not respect it or appreciate it. they chose to call her submission/doormatiness sick, weak and undesirable. the difference you see is not because this slave submits any differently than she has with others...it is becaue HE is a dominant man of integrity that appreciates this slave's submission...unlike the many others.
