I don’t generally do it even if I’m sure in myself that they do have an interest in the lifestyle. For the simple reason there is a difference between displaying your involvement and wanting random strangers coming up and talking to you about it. Some people are pretty open about it but it doesn’t mean they want to be approached in this way. Maybe if it was a relaxed social scene I would pose the question but I definitely wouldn’t be questioning someone in the supermarket or waiting at a bus stop.

It seems to me when i am wearing say a leather convention shirt ,or my DV8 hat or even the cute lil shirt that looks like the MnM toons yet say SnM's Yes those seem to be conversation starters and ice breakers .I dot hang around bars anymore since i stopped working at them i have no intrest in starting either .But i have not seen too many outta the blue hey are you into bdsm chats start up .Even when i am in full leathers most people as what kinda bike i ride , I just love answering that one .I dont think i would ride my dirt bike wearing theses leathers .[:)]

i did one time outside of a national leather event...but it was at the local leather groups home bar and the guy was wearing leathers and had big patch on his vest with the groups name on it....does that count?

I think I have a tattoo on my forehead that says "Please share all of your kinky fantasies with me!" For some reason people feel comfortable talking about that stuff with me, even if they are strangers I just met in a bar. I never HAVE to ask, just wait. I'm sure alcohol helps too ;) As for me, I will rarely ask right out if someone is into BDSM. If I like someone, I'll just engage in a little kinky flirting and see where it goes. You know, saying stuff like "Ohhhh, you are a very naughty boy!" or "too bad I left my handcuffs in my other pants," and so on. Whether they are officially into the lifestyle or not, how they respond to this kind of flirting can tell you whether they are open to it or not. It's not 100% accurate, but it's a good way to drop bdsm stuff into conversation somewhat casually and see if they take the bait.

Relating to this thread, my wife did have an interesting experience while out doing holiday shopping this year. It's funny in so much as I am usually the more outgoing and easily strike up conversations with strangers and she is more shy and reserved. We have the leather pride strip on the tailgate of our pick-up truck, and as she was walking out of the store through the parking lot to get in the truck a young guy simply asked her "Top or bottom". Without missing a beat she just replied back with "Wouldn't you like to know" which elicited the response "Yes, ma'am". She got in the truck and drove off. She had to text message me at work to let me know because it was so comical to her and that she surprised herself with such a quick response.

i tend to wear my collar on my ankle most of the time...it is one of those sort of thick ones with rhinestones and it has a heart shaped tag on it. If i wear socks i tend to put it underneath but if not it is just there, clinking along as i walk. One time a few months back i was boarding a plane and some woman commented on it...then she continued....She could've left it alone, that it was interesting, but she didn't. It was early and i had not had alot of sleep or enough coffee...Soooo when she continued and made some remark about it looking like a cat/dog collar...I let it go and laughed...then she asked me if i was goth (ummm yeah, goth, LOL all dressed in pink with blonde hair LOL) So i said no....she asked something else, and i just blurted out "i'm a slave, and that is a collar & signifies that i am a slave who has a Master, we are into BDSM...Ya know, whips and chains and stuff."...i felt kinda bad for getting short (but as i said i was tired, lacked coffe and was just NOT in the mood to be critiqued by some woman) but was sooo grateful when we were finally on the plane and went our seperate ways. It would be nice if it were someone who was in the lifestyle, i would welcome it completely, but that i hadn't expected...it had never happened before and not since.

BDSM would not even cross anyone's jaded minds!!! Me too. Minus the goth! But if there is a style of dress that is a give away, cou;d you please tell me so I could start wearing it? I do like wearing choker necklaces. Always have. Does that count?

quote: Ever walked right up to a stranger and asked if they were into BDSM?!! No. That is as low class as walking up to a stranger and asking about their sex life or asking 'do ya wanna fuck'. quote: I was standing in a bar last night and a woman started talking to me. Being attractive and obviously full of confidance, I was immediately interested in replying! She asked me, within about 10 sentences, if I knew what BDSM was. I nearly fell over, it was so unexpected. Well I thought all my wishes were coming true at once, but she was married and merely making conversation This is why bars are built, so people can act like cockroaches hiding under a toilet seat when the lights are dim. quote: Anyhoo, has anyone here actually done this? I know I would find it hard to approach someone with the topic if I didn't know already that ther were in the lifestyle. No. A conversation with strangers should be respectful of (we all have them) boundaries. Although, bars aren't any place for morals anyhoo. lol.

I guess I'm guilty of a little low class behavior on occasion. On the other hand, we could all get an "invisible" tattoo somewhere on our faces. You put on these special glasses and you can see the tattoo. You know, like night vision goggles or red filter glasses. Okay, somebody work out the details. Cali

Ultraviolet tattoos you mean. So you have to shine dark lights at people and they show up.

quote: ORIGINAL: BayouSub quote: I wish there was a way to tell just by looking...when I am in the grocery store or post office and I see someone hot and we just make eye contact, I often wish I had a special telepathic power to speak to them and find out if they are into BDSM. So far, that power has not revealed itself.... I think those of us into BDSM need to develope a set of secret signals so we can identify each other in the vanilla world. Interestingly enough, a very good friend of mine is a Dom who moved to this country from Europe. The part of Europe he lived in had a BDSM community that believed in training for people new to the scene or lifestyle. One of the things they used were very subtle hand signals to communicate. His example was you can get on a bus, one person will give a subtle signal, and if the other person is into this, they will signal back. If they aren't, they don't have a clue that you just communicated in any way. He went on to show me hand signals they used to indicate Top/bottom, bondage, whips, desire to meet and talk, etc. As he said, you could get on a bus, know if someone is into bondage, whether they are a D or s, Top or bottom, and whether they would like to meet and talk after leaving the bus.... all without anyone else on the bus even knowing you have communicated. It has been fun to learn and use when a slave is serving in high protocol because we also use hand signals for "drink", "kneel", etc. Those subtle little hand signals would be wonderful if they were used all over, but, they are not. And, when we can't even agree on the definition of Dominant and/or submissive, how in the hell would we EVER agree on a universal way of communicating with hand signals?? lol Actually kind of funny to think about.... yet, it sure would be nice if it was adopted and accepted. Just not possible.

Just a few days ago we had a waitress who was wearing a very thick black leather collar with D rings. When we were leaving i asked her if she was collared or if she just enjoyed the fashion, she said it was the latter. Fortunately it didn't seem to offend her that i asked.

Drummers do tend to notice such things. There must be something about them. I'm one myself ;)

SubmissiveGael -> RE: Approaching Strangers... (12/29/2007 3:57:11 PM)
Interesting ideas folks! Mystress Dream's comments about hand signals are fascinating! I fully endorse the idea of a simple set of hand signals seperate to any established sign language.
