Of course man fail, always did and always will but they fail because of their own nature and it is usually for two reasons, regarding the kajira issue,:

1 They think they can convert any sub to a kajira, even if it isn't in her nature if it is only a fantasy or wishfull thinking, they will try and fail and naturally in the end they will blame the girl when they should blame themselves for not reasling sooner in what they were getting into.

2. they think they because they are men that are natural doms, it is true in some cases, false in the majority and that leads to the hordes of unskilled "Masters" that exist, instead of starting small learning the ropes and get experienced they dive into things and fail many times, but that is what is called overconfidence something that also separates Men from males, just use it wisely.

slaves are by nature without guilt as they aren't responsible for their action , therefore the guilt and the accpeting of it goes to the Master and accepting it is also a sign of a good Master.

Just my opinion for what is worth

Tal and greetings,

There is much talk about failed slaves, failed free women, my question is this, do men fail?  Master to slaves, men to their Free Companion? 

Another
FC to Brule


Greetings Another,

I , myself, never fail, I adapt.  Now there might be a few people spluttering their coffee right now over the screen thinking what a tosser.  I have no concern, the reason is like life is a chess game to me, and has been since I was about 14 or so.

I go down the street of life and make my mind have 4-5 adaptions of my change in life as needed, like a chess, you always think of 4-5 moves ahead during the game.  I rarely have FC relationships as they try to change the way that I feel and am.   I am daminant and they try to lead me down the road of being equal to them.  I am not equal to a female, simple.  The few slave relationships that I have had, they have tried to change me over the 6 month period, I just shake my head and move on with my life.  I am just me, this way and the same way from 6 years from now.

I will just say that there is only one female that I do bend my will to, my mother, bottom line.  I have clashes with team leaders at work, because of their personal directions that they take in the job is for their own personal  benefit and I have no concern, I go with the way best suited for the company.  I take all this into my roads of life, and I take all these different paths that can happen seriously, and I adapt.  So when something comes along, I adapt, I never fail.

Be well and take care.

Master Frank Ar.

Generally, I think that Men and Masters do not fail, except at finding a slave who is compatable with them. Not every girl out there can meet the demands of every single other Dominant man, or atleast not as well as someone else might be able to.

That said, We are not perfect and We do make mistakes. That does not, however, give a slave any right whatsoever to declare that We have failed her.

I haven't heard of a male failing in Mastery before.. overly often. Of course, there are those who just shouldn't be.

To me, it seems slaves can fail in being poor slaves. They can be disobidient/disloyal. Now, they could simply violate boundaries of the life- not acting in their position- but that's more of a poor quality job than a failure.

Masters, on the other hand, can't be disobidient, unable to fail in this manner. Disloyal.. it depends on the relationship. Strangely enough, of the small sample of slaves I've personally had before, they do -not- mind if I sleep with every other girl on the planet. Two of the three actually offered assistance in finding another slave to serve with.. when I had made no mention of the subject nor expressed any interest. I do not know if this is normal, but, in these sorts of relationships, the Master can't be disloyal, either.

To me, it seems both Masters and slaves can perform their respective position poorly; however, slaves, having hard requirements, are able to fail while Masters lack these requirements.

There are many exceptions, though, and I'm sure many Masters out there, even a good number reading this, have requirements they must fill. Perhaps they're in a monogomous relationship. Perhaps they have some finicial obligation that must be met. Maybe their slave(s) are emotionly dependent/damaged and require prearranged care that isn't being provided. Hell, there could even be something else, seemingly random to an outside view, that is a provision of the relationship's initial agreement. In these cases, a Master can fail.

Finally, perhaps one sees failing as simply doing a very poor job? If this is one's view, then it may certainly be seen by this one that the Master is failing.

Tal and greetings all....

Men fail. Women fail. Masters fail. Slaves fail. People fail.

What do they fail at? Anything possible that they can do or be. In this case, the discussion is focusing on failing to BE. A slave fails to be a slave. A Master fails to be a Master. A man fails to be a man. (Note....Goreans consider this the typical state of most males in the world. They fail to be men because of many reasons, the most common one in our Western societies is socialization to de-masculinize men....but that is a whole different discussion.)

Men fail to be Master probably most of the time. Mastery of a slave is a learned skill. Anyone who thinks they will be successful at mastering a slave just because they have a dominant personality or they call themselves a "Gorean Master" has already failed at being a Master and maximally succeeded on their stupidity check.

Just like slave failure, Master failure happens when someone decided to stop BEING a Master. If they have a slave at that point, the slave will usually start hunting for a new Master and the man will have no clue why this is happening. The reasons for such failure are many and the man may learn from his failure just as a slave can learn from her failure and succeed the next time....or maybe the time after that.

Be well.....

Malkinius

my question is this, do men fail? 


ABSOLUTELY
Gods yes we fail.  2 things.. 
A good Man does not "repeat" the same failure.. 
More importantly.. WHEN we fail.. we stand up and admit to the failure.  We should not make excuses as to "why" we failed or place blame elsewhere.

Greetings
 
In addition to Malkinius’ words, a common misnomer regarding Goreans is that if one is a free Gorean male (sometimes it might include female) this makes them masters.  No it doesn’t.  Some are really piss poor at owning property (ie slaves even paper bags).   This has no bearing on them being Gorean, it just means, they need work to be good at owning property.  Like Malkinius stated, it is a learned art.  Some never really learn it.

greetings,

I had to comment on this thread.  For many years I thought that only a slave can fail. That her owner was never at fault. If you want to keep your nose in the books and think like that then perhaps thats true for those who do.

But in reality, M/s is a two way street. 

Some may say its one way, but its not.  It has to work for both parties involved.

Its like owning a vehicle, you make sure the oil is changed and tires rotated. You take care of your property, so that it can run better and see to your needs.

Things have to work for both of you. Sometimes they dont work out.  Its just like any relationship. 

I dont think anyone fails, but I do think sometimes you out grow one another or you find that you both have different needs.

Its nothing to be ashamed of.  Its a learning experience.

And thats what its all about.  We are always learning.

We are human.  And humans do make mistakes... male or female... we all do

Tal Goreans, Tal FrankAr,

I read your post some days ago Frank and the damn thing won’t get the hell out of my head. I have read a good many of your posts throughout the boards and though I don’t know you, I have never been troubled with one of your posts, until this one. It wasn’t directed at me, but your words are tarnishing my thoughts of you as a Gorean.You say you never fail; you adapt, in reading that first off, I thought ok. He encounters a wall so he alters his course moves on…well, to me, that may be a mistake. I then pondered on the rest of your post. I agree with the Chess game analogy. I fancy the Tuchuk way of things and believe a man must have a plan. But after this point you and I are going to butt heads.

I have an FC/ wife. She has been my faithful companion for 21 years. She does attempt at times to sway or persuade me in alternate directions or tries to bargin her position. She has yet to have ever been successful where I have my mind made up. Now I do listen to her position, most of the time. She in fact is intelligent, if not she would have been kicked to the curb or been reduced to the proverbial kitchen slut moons ago. Now, I may maintain flexibility, but, it is in the end, my way. If in your life females are trying to lead you, I would assume that you are leaving room where they feel they can lead you. I assure you that if any woman were to meet me and look into my eyes she would have no desire to make such an attempt. There are many FW in my life and I can’t think of a single one that considers she is my equal.(If they did, they get the not equal, we’re different lecture) In fact whenever I have encountered a woman that might have the idea she could be, I alter my plan and the Tuchuk in me sets to teaching her whether she is aware of this or not. But in my chess game, I don’t run. I conquer! It’s a man thing. To demonstrate this point I’ll provide an example. Over the past year I have been reconditioning the thought process of a VERY liberal, independent and feisty young female that is the personal assistant to a prestigious customer of mine. A little of a year ago I told her she would make a fine kajira, she asked, “what’s that mean?” I told her, “You’re intelligent, find out.” Well she obviously she went straight to Google and when I went past the break room where she was she smirks and says, “so you think I am a slave do you?” I smiled and looked at her, my response was, “oh, hell no! But, (I moved very close to her and looked her deep in the eyes and said) you do have potential.” She shivered as one would suspect and smiled with a fidget. I then turned and walked away. I waited and as I suspected, she again approached me on this issue. Well it’s been over a year and I see her a fair amount and I have to say, I have not at all set to teaching her, I just carry myself as the Gorean that I am when around her. The last time I spoke with her she was supposed to have a book I loaned her (Nomads). She forgot it at home and I went in her office and said that is the last time you will disappoint me or I will have your ass. She looked at me and swallowed hard. Her response was a simple one….”yes Sir” Take note, she’s one of those very attractive girls that western men allow to get away with way to much, she didn’t call even her boss Sir. Well, she does now. I told her she will. Anyway, this is a long damn story and she has admitted she has interest in belonging to someone like me. (smirks) My point here is, I don’t adapt. They do. I am strong willed in all I am and do. It is expected in a Gorean. I don’t run from confrontation and to me it is a concern. I don’t let the wall change my course, I find a way to remove the wall. You see that is how a Gorean plays chess. And when more men start playing it that way we won’t have to do as the slave boy asked in another thread, live in secret. I have no bones about talking about my ideals with anyone. I have talk in depth with many men, from priests to corporate managers and all ask more and more about these philosophies. If you are Dominant as you say, No one will try and lead you anywhere, it is only when you allow room for doubt that you will be topped. I never shake my head and move on. I may shake my head, but I’ll be damned if I’m moving on away from anyone. That is surrendering to their will. There is nothing dominant about that. Sure you can say they aren’t worth your time, and they most likely aren’t. But, for my taste, they will be the one moving. Not I! Note that you are most likely alone for a reason, read the thread kisshou just started, weakness in your actions is not attractive, and your walking away is almost always seen as weakness. Just a thought maybe the next six years would be served by an excellent little slut if you commanded and demanded your will upon her. I have a new slut coming after the first of the year, a good while back, when we first started talking she asked if when she came to my home if she would be able to tell immediately if I was her master. She hasn’t even arrived and no longer is that question in her mind.

Also, it is quite possible if you drove forward like a Gorean, improved yourself, took the lead in your job, those team leading females that serve their own interests, would in effect be serving you, their new boss. If you’re in a job, and you have no chance to accomplishing this. Why the hell are you there?

I had to ask my FC if I bend my will to my mother. She laughed. She said you treasure your mother and see to her happiness, but not even your mother would dare expect you to bend your will. My mother loves to talk about the broken wooden spoons and such that not once altered her son’s mind. She calls me “the most independent bugger walking, God only knows how he turned out so well.”  I guess some of us have been Gorean since birth. Now I’m not blowing my horn here, I’m referring to myself in this post, as you did, mostly because this is a reference I happen to be the authority on.

I am also not real sure why when your slaves tried to change you that you would just move on. Wouldn’t that also be just admitting you can’t train them to your standard. In effect you made a mistake in selecting them? Or in training them? Why else would they ever dream they should or could try and change you? Leave a door unlocked and someone is going to try and open it.

In closing, I have made mistakes and corrected them and made other ones, done some soul searching, then corrected and even altered my views. To error is human. To learn is and grow is even more human.

Live well,

Bull

Tal Bull,

Read the post and did love it.  If you pick a slave and guide her to the best of her ability and she is still stubborn to change, and you can see that the guidance will make her worth about 10 times more, well after 2-3 times, I just move on.  You can't guide a brick wall....LOL, if you get my meaning.  Therefore I adapt and move on .  Whether finishing with her and kicking her out, or just closing the chapter on that part of my life, for it has no use to squabble the few breaths to talk with the slave, why....LOL..

I like my work, that is why I have stayed there, for the friendships that I have gained, even though some do know what type of books I read and the people that I do tend to talk with and hang around, simple.  They respect my ways in the personal life and I TRY not to bring the Gorean thought and phylisophy into work...LOL.  Just laughs now, having the image of Bull chuckling away.

A FW in my life, now I would need 20 different possible outcomes daily to go through life....LOL....just chuckles away.  I am just me, and I tell that to females that I start talking with, and then later on down the line, about 6 months later, they ask why I have not even softened to them, I just tell them, this is how I am 6 years from now, get over it,  I change for no one, I do adapt for changes outside of my scope.  Humanity has its hiccups, personal feeling get in the way, the females feelings, and I don't need that.  My way, or there is the door.  I need no headaches.

I do like reading your posts,  One of the few that I stop to read, like Malkinius, puella, allyC, Shreve, Bear, Camerius ( sorry for spelling ).  Straight to the point and thought of, grins now.

Be well and take care.

Master Frank Ar.

Tal Frank,

It is your life and you have the right to live it anyway you choose. If we were all the same, I'm sure we'd all be after the same slut. Imagine that tired little wench. I just had a few thoughts I had to express about your post.

I wish you most well,

Bull

Men fail constantly, and if we didn't have women to back us, and also agree that what we want is what they want and act in concert, this world would unravel very quickly..........

I am laughing and crying, one daughter 21 and a mom and doing well, one ten and doing well but needs some tough love...

So there is a meeting between administration and school children in the town I grew up in and the fight is over these teeneyboppers purses, and they can now have clutch purses because they might have to carry athsma inhalers or what ever (or them little grey mouses that plug toilets)  so?  But not a full sized purse cause they could be carrying weapons into the schools?  WTF? 
I could say more........but I would be busy threading my child thru every window in my house if it got to be that I am watching 24 hours or 3rd rock from the sun or whatever is on tv and the kid is downstairs making a pipe bomb and I am clueless?

Whatever.
Ron

Tal A/all,

When I was studying T'ai Chi from Grand Master T.T. Liang, he continually stressed to us "Invest in failure." It's the only way to learn effectively. I could share similar experiences with professional music and professional writing--excellence and the illusion of ease comes from long, hard, repeated effort, including all the effort that falls short.

Today, yes, I have an intelligent, beautiful slave dedicated to her Master, but that happens as a result of all the not-so-successful experiences up to this point, and with the understanding that this will continue to take work and effort--kind of like a garden: you can't just stick the plant in the dirt and walk away. And this will mean continued mistakes--and the growth that goes with it (i.e., Mastery!)

I wouldn't be surprised if a large part of the reason the girl wants to be at my feet is not despite, but because of this recognition. For myself, I have trouble trusting people who deny their mistakes--I find it dangerous.

As a management consultant, I was always fond of asking prospective managers "What mistakes have you made in the past year?" Those who said "None--everything went smoothly" are probably (1) lying or (2) didn't do very much, or SOMETHING would have gone wrong! What I was REALLY interested in was the next question, the one that truly speaks to management ability (Mastery): "What did you do then?"

My two cents worth. Thanks for reading.

Tim

Greetings Another,

There are some here who would say men never fail.  The mere fact that they say that and believe it is evidence that they themselves have indeed failed.  Is it a slaves place to point out the failings of a man.  Most likely not unless she likes the punishments that come with it.  If you are an FC then yes, you are within your rights to protect the value of your companionship by helping the male companion to see the erroro of his ways. 

I have seen many men fail to truely master a girl, as soon as she takes away his power over her he has indeed failed to master her.  That is how I define it. 

A real master knows not every girl is mastered in the same fashion.

Just a thought
