ORIGINAL: ChainedExistence It's condescending with an extra s. The word "English" should be capitalized since it refers to the language of a particular county In America, we use "spelled" as the past tense of spell, but since you are British, I guess you get a pass on using spelt. I like Older Doms, not because they are necessarily more experienced, but because they have a cultural memory similar to mine. I like to sit around recalling old candy bars, television shows, toys, etc with someone near my age rather than with someone who wasn't even born when those things existed. That's simply a matter of preference on my part, and I don't expect my views to be shared by everyone. Also, I like my authority figures to be near my age or older...again, a preference. Even if Mr. 20 year old Dom has been doing it for years, I'd still prefer the older less experienced one simply because I am in it for more than the D/s. That was the point of my post Chained. I am crap at spelling because I suffer from dyslexia. However I try my hardest to improve on my spelling and have done all my life. But that doesn't mean I have more experience of spelling and can spell or hold a good written discourse better than people like Aqua or LA - just like Latex - and yet in age, they are younger than I. So therefore the argument that age equals more experience or maturity just doesn't cut it in anything. It is what you learn and how you intake it that matters. Preference is a different kettle of fish to being blinkered because of someones age and assuming they know it all and are better at something because they are older. Peace the.dark.
