~fr~ All you can do is try and live your life happily. Why waste time thinking about the lack of a relationship in your life? You have other relationships, with coworkers, family, friends, etc. Find other ways to fill your life. I'm not sitting around waiting for someone to enter my life so that I will be fulfilled. There are some things you must do on your own.

You just have to know how to talk to them and bring up that kind of subject without making them go run screaming. Then again, even if they do run screaming, it's probably for the better.

quote: ORIGINAL: BIllCT Ever feel like life is rough and your getting no where? Seeking a female submissive who wants and needs a Dominant in such a way to fullfill her needs and his at the same time is not easy? Trying to match personalities, kinks, desires, needs, wants and more is not easy to do. Seeking and not finding seems to be what is happening maybe I am trying too hard or, I am looking in the wrong places here on CM or Elsewhere? Seeking and not finding, can actually make one depressed! Didn't you just apologize for this sort of thing on the sub/slave forum?

But, you're right, since message boards aren't working for him he needs to find another way. It's my understanding that because men frequently troll BDSM events for single women and single women often get pounced upon, you actually have better odds looking for women in other areas where you share interests and then finding out if they are also submissive. I imagine the success rates are different for different communities though.

Well, either way, loneliness sucks and it is hard to find that diamond underneath lumps of coal. However, one has to have some experience with the lumps in order to find that diamond. Get out to some of the local munches and meet people. I found that I have had success in the munches than online where people can lie. When you see people, most are apt to lie less to your face. I have had one experience that a dominant's wife tried to match me with her ex-dom. The date was nice but later on, he turned out to be flaky with them as he was renting a home from them and promised to do things but failed. So, I consider myself to be lucky to be alone than to be in a relationship that could be filled with drama and misery.

do like i'm doing. sit back, throw up your hands, and say, screw it...lets have some fun instead. i figure, why dwell on the chase that leads to a brick wall...have fun, let things go and forget the negative. live life to it's fullest. whatever happens, happens.

hsagnev -> RE: I seek and Do not find...... (8/6/2007 10:11:46 PM)
uh... well....yeah....anything is possible I suppose, but I really wouldn't expect to find a girl interested in BDSM through everyday and ordinary events. I suppose if there's a secret handshake (that somehow everyone knows about) then that might work, but even with that the odds of finding that person in an everyday crowd would be slim indeed. I would think some social event having something to do with the topic would be better.

michaelOfGeorgia -> RE: I seek and Do not find...... (8/6/2007 10:13:41 PM)
what's this? nobody's shown you the secret handshake yet? OMG...LOL

We BDSM girls don't spend all our time tied up to crosses and being flogged after all! Good places to find BDSM girls in my area: Ren fairs, SCA meets (I've had many people on this contact me about the SCA and encouraging me to come), fabric stores, hardware stores, cooking classes, college classes (that's a BIG one), if you are geeky a LOT of geek girls are into BDSM to one degree or another. At Otakon I was found by a lovely master who "knew" and while we didn't do anything, I'm owned, we did have a very pleasent lunch together. Get out into the world. We are out there. Trust me.

I need to learn the secret handshake immediately! It's less of a handshake and more of conversation. I can generally tell if someone is into the lifestyle, or at least open to kink, by having a few conversations with them. My time honored test is crack the joke "Sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me!" and see how they respond. It's never a sure fire thing but it can help you feel out the situation. Unless they start talking about their favorite floggers afterwards. Then you have hit pay dirt. [:)]

One way to get beyond that this would be to head for official BDSM events/socials.

Besides, the sort of people that are so closeted that they wouldn't respond to that joke probably won't be at BDSM events. While we are all supposed to, and in some cases even sign contracts, never reveal who was were, outting still happens. If they are that concerned, they probably won't be there.

Which is why, if they are so worried about being out there that they wouldn't respond to that joke, they probably wouldn't be a munch or event. I was terrified when I went to my first group, even though I had my owner with me. It's still a little scary being as out as I am (which is pretty out). Sometimes I wish I could go back in! [:)]

charlotte12 -> RE: I seek and Do not find...... (8/6/2007 11:27:16 PM)
Being lonely is not fun. But i have started to believe that no one but you can fix that. If you are trying to find someone to fill a void then even if you do for a while what if they leave? that void will still be there. Instead try to be the most healthy happy person you can be and others will want to be around you. Enjoy life and i guarantee others will want to enjoy it with you. This doesn't have to mean getting away from the internet completely but i will say the people i enjoy talking to online the most are the ones i can discuss things with that don't all pertain to bdsm. There's a difference between wanting a partner and needing one. I know for me i am always very careful around guys who are so desperately seeking. Makes me wonder if they like me so much for who i am or for the fact that i have shown them interest. I can see from your posts on these boards that you are eager to get involved in this community. I liked the suggestion to respond to other posts, or maybe start some posts that aren't solely bdsm oriented. I know the site is a bdsm site but most of the subs i've seen here seem to want to get to know a person as a person before they consider him as a Master. Good luck

We are normal people that have normal interests just like everyone else. We just have some others that are....a little less than "normal". I met my fiance/switch partner at a dueling piano bar. His best friend's current girlfriend has dated a submissive before. Which I found out on a little outing on the boat after she made a joke about cuffs and I just kinda looked at JL and smiled. She cracked up and told me that she dated a sub and had actually met his former Domme. Weird convos happen all the time. You just have to learn how to "joke" about it and perhaps you'll get somewhere with someone outside of a BDSM event.

Biggest piece of advice I can give you is to get rid of that dark red background in the written part of your profile. It's impossible to read. I do give you points for being "Expert" in Giving Massage, though [;)]

hsagnev -> RE: I seek and Do not find...... (8/7/2007 4:47:38 PM)
My gosh you're right, I can't read a damn thing on BIllCT's profile.
