Money and career.

They can't get a job for the same income, or at the same level. The relationship doesn't work out and two years later she has been out of the field, has no place to live, and her future is seriously diminished.

Assuming she is pursuing a career, I can see that as a legitimate concern.

Thank you.

I'm curious.

I'm one of those who have answered that they like city life and love suburban life - some love the city and wouldn't give it up because of the entertainment available and other various reasons. Are they not legitimate reasons to remain in their chosen environs to you? I haven't seen you respond to any posts which disagreed with your 'country living is the best' attitude. People should choose where they feel most at home.

Your OP said: [I should like to better understand why so few urban submissives/slaves are willing to make that transition.].

After reading some responses, do you better understand why someone would choose to live where they feel most alive and comfortable, even if it is not your choice of environment?

So there you are, some guy wayyy out in the boonies that they don't know from Adam. It's the net, but are you really what you claim to be? How do you support yourself?

How do you cover the basics? A little cabin in the woods is not gonna cut it, if that's not taken care of. Maybe that works fine for you-but how will they REALY deal with the isolation? You need to step out of your own view and try to imagine thiers.

Because yours will be moot, if it doesn't work for THEM.

I'm sure a lot of people choose to live where they feel most alive and comfortable. I didn't assume otherwise.

For a lot of people, it isn't a choice based on that criteria, it may be economical.

Although I haven't said a lot, I've been popping in regularly and catching up on all the answers and yes,I have learned from each contribution more about why people prefer certain locations.

I hope the thread continues as I am always open to learning more.

That's what this thread is about, without the need for me to imagine anything.

Why imagine when I can ask them directly?

And as I said before, I don't expect anyone will want to move in with anyone they don't know, and I don't think it matters whether one lives in the city or the country for that to be true.

I'm not asking anyone how to convince someone to move from the city to the country. I'm simply asking submissives why they have the preference they have, whichever preference that might be.

country life was harsh. stunning in beauty, but harsh.

a rifle, loaded, behind the front door---because the friendly deputy informed us that we needed to be able to take care of whatever predator came our way, human or otherwise, becuase the authorirites wouldn't be able to get out to us fast enough.

there were always chores to be done, always.

there was always something laying about dead in some state of decomposition.

adobe mud stains, forever.

bear and mountain lion stalking the livestock and the wee ones.

city folk dropping their bags of trash, old appliances and unwanted pets at your gate.

30 in the winter, 120 in the summer.

poison oak sending your friends from town to the hospital.

the small-minded, ultra-conservative, fundamentalist Christian inhabitants that neighbor your acreage sometimes riding over on their horses, drunk as hell, threatening to shoot you.

the local social club is full of shit-kicking, tobacco chewing, wrangler-wearing, simple folk determined never to expand their minds beyond their own gate.

just a few thoughts about country living, from one who did 20 years of it, and hopes only to visit it, if at all, in the future.

I agree but I could turn all of these around the other way just as easily.

City life is harsh, some beauty but mostly ugly and harsh.

A shotgun, 2 pistols behind the front and back doors with plenty of rounds to feed them because we never see any police get out of their car and the neighborhood advises us on self-defense.

There is always chores to be done. Fixing broken windows, re-attaching the bars over them on both second and 3rd floor now.

Always some person wounded, dead...lying around in some stage of decomposition.

Mud and filthy slush stains forever.

Gangs often hyped on cocaine, stalking the adults and the wee ones.

Country folk always dropping their trash, old appliances and roadkill at our curb.

30 or lower in the winter and 100 or more in the summer...in the filthy, smoky, dungy city.

Stray bullets always sending your friends and neighbors to the hospital.

Small minded, ultra-violent, car-jacking joy riders always driving by hyped on drugs...ready to shoot anybody.

Local social clubs full of drug dealers and people-kicking, drug hyped gang members or wannabe's. Just simple-minded folk determined to never expand their minds beyond the next hi, the next kill or the next women to gang bang.

Just a few thoughts about city living from an old motorhead born and raised in Detroit. Sorry sambamanslilgirl but for me, Detroit is simply one of the greatest cities now...to be from.

Wow that's some city there. I live in London, a city considered more dangerous than New York, and you've got districts you have to be more careful in, like Hackney, Peckham, Kings Cross, but what you're describing by comparison makes London seem like a small rural market town.

And this is Detroit? Your description even makes Glasgow look tame, and that's really saying something.

Having lived in New York City for many years and then on a mountain range outside a very small town in Queensland, Australia--I loved being on the mountain range, being in the middle of nowhere in a way, so much privacy. We were like an hour away from the ocean. NYC is great and I love to get there when I can. I like it all. I would love to have a home-base off the grid, and the means to go wherever else I like.

Speaking of cats, my neighbours havent fixed their cats. Today she told me 3 of them were giving birth. Three cats all giving birth in her apt today. I cannot stand that she wont fix her cats. She said she cant afford it when I asked her last summer why she hasnt. When I told her she could get it done free, she had an answer for that as well. My sister suggested I call the Humane Society. Then what though? It is not as if they will come, pick up her cats, fix them and return them to her. I will call because it creeps me out how many feral and un-spayed cats are around here. Try and garden with a bunch of cats around. Sheesh. I know my friends in California have trouble with deer eating their garden. In Oz it could be kangaroos, or bush turkey's eating up your grub.

Growing up i spent the week in the city and weekends in a tiny country town that you could walk from one end of to the other end (Main st where the shops all are) in less then five mins. So I guess I am both. Now I live in the city and while I love the city with all the shoppings/arts/events on I crave the country.

I love the peace and quiet in the country as well as the sense of community.
I love being in a place where everybody knows you by name and nobody is a stranger.
I love seeing the stars above me at night, hearing the crickets chirp in the evening and having my own vegetable and herb gardens as well as chickens for fresh eggs.
I love the bush and the smell of wet dirt after the rain has fallen.
I love being able to walk and not come to a man road or see another person.
I love having space to play outdoors and know that we won't be disturbed.

One day I hope to move to the a little country town that is only 20kms out of the city of Brisbane. There I will get my country life but the city will be close enough to have as a 'playground'

i live in the country...midway between Nowhere and Nuthing. It certainly presents it's share of challenges. We have well water and it likes to go dry at the worst times (the last time was when i was in the middle of highlighting my hair...not covering the grey hair i don't have....just highlighting). The average travel time for a few things at the store is over an hour. When it is freezing outside with several feet of snow you STILL have to haul it out of bed to feed the animals. The country definition of "night life" is looking at the stars. Last week a racoon pooped on my car. The list can be endless but i love it anyway.

As I recall from one year when I heard the stats, the murder rate in Detroit exceeded the murder rate for the whole of Canada.

And that is just one American city.

Seems like we all have definate likes and dislikes about where we want to live .... I think financial concerns are a definate concern for some about the country ... and isolation another concern. I admit it does take a special person to be able to find entertainment in nature ..... its not for everyone .. I loved the city for many years .. but have no use for it other than to visit now .... small doses is all I need or want ...... yet do not judge those that enjoy it and choose to live there ...

I could see using these out in the country-for interacting with nature. With a nice high power well pump.

I have the best of both worlds. I live in a small town. In one direction it's one hour away from a city. In the other direciton it's twenty minutes away from a cabin on acreage that borders a state park.

I still like the idea of a little enclave in the middle of nowhere. Why not build your own city-and control who can be there? Solves a lot of problems.

That's a dream of mine, should I ever be rich enough to finance it.

A creative enclave, with artists, writers, musicians, craftmen, dancers, any skill that can express the human heart and be shared with others.

That would be here.

Three hours from the downtown core (Toronto hosts the largest Pride Parade in the world ... a million people attended the last time I went).

But all the privacy in the world here, as clean and green as you could want it.
