Status: offline 		i'm sorry but i had to say something here because i really like Collarme and have a lot of respect for the efforts and genuine spirit i've found. i just signed on a few minutes ago and found a rather attractive Pro Domme's profile photo at the top of the most recently online listings. i was impressed...until i read the journal entry where she dumps on those who may not be as attractive as she is.

It's beyond me why a remark like that need be posted. Perhaps she is insecure...who knows. i'm not trying to stir up trouble; it just bothers me to see such things. On the other hand (now that i've written this) perhaps it's a good thing...for she is telling everyone the kind of person she is. Still...it is sad.

FYI in Alternate Lifestyles
there is such a thing as
Humiliation that both
Dominant and submissives
enjoy either giving or recieving.
It is not any more sadder then
sumone whom enjoys a good
paddling or kissing sumones
stinkie feet. And you are right
anthro She IS telling all those
out here in Alternate World what
She is like and enjoys giving. I
also post the either negitive things
or absolutly hilarious things that
subbies say to Me on My profile
as well. It is the place for All of
us to post what We like or dont
like about sumone We have had
contact with or to tell about Our selfs.

Status: offline 		valid point mistressDread i would counter with. Humliation should not be used lightly. It can be a effective tool for sure but to have it fomr the start i think is misuse. For one its most effective when teh domme and sub know each other. Has more of a impact. For another randomaly insulting people even subs. I dont know not my cup of tea i think thats rude frankly . Dont get me worn humlitation play can be a great elemente in a storng realtionship. It can take a sub to places he has never been to.


It can also make a sub truly hate himself and be abuse.

Status: offline 		Unless I'm mistaken humiliation should get consent. One can argue to view the journal entry one hsad to scroll in that little window or view her profile so scrolling indicated consent, but...

Anthrosub, so you know know more about her. Should she lie? (Even just a lie of "omission".) What is her alternative other than changing who she is to suit someone she hasn't met?

BTW, you need to specify that the pro Domme was not ProDomme. ProDomme is a nice lady. (Well, nice in that horrible way we subs love.)

We humans are wonderful, we need to tell the truth, yup, we need to. She described herself truthfully and it was offensive to you. Good! You read with your intellect and intuitive radar scanning her words.

It's not pleasant to sense the negative undercurrents in a person. We love to believe, at least I do, in the basic decency, well, except for the present squatters in the Oval Office, of our fellow souls.

This alternative lifestyle demands introspection. Kudos for the ones who are sad and alive.

Status: offline 		I find it ironic that you admit you viewed her profile because she was attractive. You even admit you were "impressed" with what she had to say up until she started "dumping" on the less attractive.

I find it quite amusing that she obviously met YOUR standards of Misstress appearance, yet she was rejected for having standards of her own. (Am I the only one that sees this outpoint?)

I have not seen the profle in question, so I have no inside information. But the reality is we all have preferences about physical characteristics we find attractive or not. We are entitled to them. Some people are more flexible than others in their willingness to "see beyond" their preferences....but we all have them.

Next....I am reminded of a quote I heard many years ago:

"Have you ever noticed...when you toss a pebble into a crowd, the only people that yell...are those that got hit?" unknown

Status: offline 		Wow! i must say some of the responses to this thread have been a real surprise. As i stated in my original post, it was not meant to stir up trouble. As far as what went down...well, i signed on and there was this picture of the most recent Domme that had been online with a photo in her profile. When i said i was impressed...i meant i found her to be visually attractive. Before i read her profile, i started reading the journal entry which was visible right next to the photo. You know the rest.

Saying i viewed her profile because i found her attractive and met my standards is not exactly what happened. i had no choice in seeing the picture when the site page opened and after reading the journal entry, i didn't open the profile at all. But what intrigues me most from some of what's been said is the apparent "defense" of this person. Yes, it takes all kinds....yes, we all have our bubble popped from time to time in spite of wishful thinking...yes, everyone has a right to express themselves...and so on.

i'm further amazed about my pointing out what i read and then getting all sorts of attention focusing on what "my" preferences are. Yes, we all have our preferences whether we've worked through them or not. It seems to me the people who are the most flexible about this issue are the people who are outside the proverbial "norm" to begin with. But i will quickly qualify this last statement by saying i'm fully aware there are always exceptions, so no one has to write me and say, "I read your post and think I'm attractive but don't put a lot of stock in what others look like."

For the record, my preferences are pretty much middle of the road. If i meet someone who's stereotypically attractive...great but i'm not expecting or looking for that any more than i'm looking for someone who's stereotypically unattractive. i'm looking for someone who's attractive...to me...and i will know what that is when i meet her.

Status: offline 		I think the mistake being made is confusing 'humiliation' with 'bad manners.' I don't go out to dinner with a woman who chews with her mouth open and talks with her mouth full. Someone who smacks the back of my head and demands the time of day can expect to get told what time it is in hell. Just because they are entitled to be a bitch, doesn't mean they are entitled to even a second of my consideration, beyond a measure of pity that they live in such a hateful, miserable world.

Essentially, I don't consent to humilitation by virtue of being on a public street, or website. On the other hand, I enjoy having a front row seat for when others humiliate themselves by assuming they have more power, value, or beauty then anyone else.

Mistress Dread...
You've certainly posted enough times on this site to realize what people write is open to interpretation. i responded with clarification as to why i started this thread. i'm starting to get the impression that messages on this site should be confined to the neutral and bland, else risk being chastized for things not intended or sentenced to an endless stream of "This is what i meant..." replies.

i attempted to stand up for some common courtesy on this site and instead became the focus of that which i was pointing out. If there's any irony here...it's that.

anthro,

First: IMO your original post came off condescending and judgemental toward the domme. "So sad," is what you said. So since we didn't see her profile we have a hard time really commenting on her. Just on you and your reaction. That's why people harped on you.

How about next time posting bits of the offensive profile and asking what the assembled board participants think? Most likely they'd laugh at her arrogance. It's okay to invite opinion before you share yours!

Second: I've never seen the board flame people for outrageous opinions. (And you're telling DREAD only the bland survive? Now that's funny!)

But they do often flame for closed-mindedness and intolerance. Hot-headed judgmentalism is second cousin to intolerance. That's what I saw in your first post.

Third: You don't ever need to post "this is what I meant" missives. It is sometimes more honorable just to chill--even if people misunderstand. (No need to slam the door or say you're done, either).

When you take a defensive tone trying to explain yourself... which IMO you did, (dissing us as being both discourteous and bland), you dig yourself into a deeper hole.

Fourth: This is true, and not opinion. Really. Threads take a life of their own. Even if you gave birth to the first post, you don't ever own the thread again. The thread crawls off to be nurtured, warped, seduced or molested by the community. If you send off your baby knowing that, you'll be less frustrated when it grows up to be lawyer instead of a doctor.

So yeah. You may start a discussion on arrogant and beautiful dommes, but the thread will twist into a discussion lawyers and doctors...

Thanks for your thoughts. As i read, i had two streams of thought going through my head. One was something like, "Yes, what's being pointed out certainly does happen." and the second was, "Ok, i can see where each respondent is reacting to their own take on different parts of what i first wrote." Put it all together and i ended up with a mess on my hands.

Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder...meaning is in the mind of the reader. In the meantime, it's late and i'm going on a trip for the weekend. Have a nice Fourth everyone.

This is a discussion board and we are responding to another person's view with our opinions.

I would become petrified if we agreed on all issues.

Consider this, you do not like people to disagree with you. Read the post I'm responding to, the last para. Pretend I wrote it, what is your impression of me based on your remarks?

Anthro, as an Italian all I can say is, eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ragazzino.

Italianalala...
i understood what You wrote. When i start a thread or reply to one, what i say gets read by many others and of course, those who wish to reply will add their own opinion. So far...so good. Next, i read the replies and from what's written, i can tell that whatever i was trying to convey has often (often...not always) been overlooked, misinterpreted, or they simply want to add whatever my post has inspired them to say.

Case in point...You claim from reading my posts that i don't like people disagreeing with me. Sorry...that's wrong. What i'm frustrated by is what i just described above and when i say frustrated, that doesn't mean i don't like it. Not liking something and being frustrated by it are two separate reactions.

All i intended by starting this thread was to say i saw something that appeared rude and thought it wasn't very nice. That's all...nothing else. From there, it's been suggested i was trying to humiliate the person in question and that i'm some sort of hypocrite for pointing it out in the first place. To me, these are interpretations of what i wrote and January was very good to describe how these threads can take on a life of their own so to speak. People will think what they want and i can only attempt to remain true to myself in the process.

Thank You for Your thoughts.

Ah...i see now. But this is starting to become complicated. If i find it rude to dump on someone because of their appearance, am i a hypocrite for finding someone attractive based on appearance? i understand that you're pointing this out. But my point here is that everyone has a reaction to someone's appearance whether it's important to them or not. i'm willing to bet every single member on this site looks at photos and "judges" them to some degree. If anything, i'm guilty of stating something we all do anyway.

i'm not religious but this is beginning to smack of, "Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone."
