ORIGINAL: mercmjm what is it with girls having masters double their age? it really sucks for young doms like me trying to find a sub/slave when all of them want a dom who is practically old enough to be their father or grandfather. can someone answer me that I say this with all due respect, because I am for all practical purposes the same age as you...but...while age doesn't always indicate maturity or wisdom, still I think that someone who believes that he or she at 18 or 20 or 22 has enough life experience and knowledge to master someone else, probably needs to learn more about themselves. In all honesty, I've done more in 23 years than some people do in a lifetime in terms of education, career, and traveling the country, but I am still an insecure kid at times, which I'm not ashamed to admit. I mean come on, I'm 23! As the years go by I imagine the childish part of me will get smaller and the adult will begin to emerge but I was naive to think when I got into the "scene" at 20 years old that anyone would want to be my slave to the real extent that I mean when I say that word. By all means, that doesn't mean that you can't have a D/s relationship until you reach some certain age but when you (not you personally but the average 22 year old) are either still in school or just graduating, barely making enough money to support yourself, possibly still dependant on your parents, freaking out because you can't get a job with your expensive degree, and all the rest of the stuff that comes along with the early 20s, you're not exactly the ideal dominant role model. Whereas someone who has his/her life completely in order and has been around the block several more times can *appear* to be the better candidate for a master. Again, not saying that's correct (there are assholes and idiots of all ages) but it sure helps them, and sometimes they actually do have their shit together more than we do, I'll give them that...sometimes. ;)
