Nope, no one needs to be an ass hole at all, for any reason. To me that is a sign of a lack of control. That doesn't mean that a dom has to play fair, though. [:D] To look at me and talk with me, you'd never know I'm a dom. It's even been pointed out at one meeting that I don't seem all that 'aggressive'. <chuckle> Her loss. There's a time and place for everything, you know?

Sir has manners and uses them. He is polite when he wants something. He also chooses when he wants to be polite or not. Arse hole doesnt make a good anything imo.

Stella, I wish there was a way you can worn people when you are going to make comments like this. That way they wont be drinking coffee and at the computer at the same time. It would save on paper towels:)

Dunno ... I may be outside the curve here (nobody is gonna get even their hair chopped off with me, so, I guess I'm not a true a-hole Dom in their book) ... but to me ... a Dom or Top need only the confidence and action necessary to command attention ...

Yerp. Delivery is in the eye of the beholder....lol Let's face it , some people WANT to be barked at and ordered around with specific commands. It makes them squirm in all the nice ways. It does mine sometimes, even though I want to balk on occasion. * A coffee would be nice.........carries as much weight as Get me a coffee* depending on who you're with...lol agirl

Doms and Dommes for that matter, come in all sizes and flavors. Some are rough talking burly men, some wear brooks brothers suits and were raised to be polite to the servants. Some are dreamers and some are doers. Some have to be polite all day and kiss ass in the corporate world, some own thier own business and have other people to kiss their ass. Some a placid yoga doing meditators, some box. I can't imagine that all these D would have the same verbal approach to interactions with a s. It seems totally wonky to me to think they would. OP, if it was an s that said it, then you aren't their flavor and move on. If it was a D then you weren't doing it the way they do it and for whatever reason (insecurity, twooism, competition, being a ass, whatever), it made them twitch. Good luck. I know a lot of Ds that have had to struggle with the idea that they HAD to be jerks to be dommy and were so relieved and able to move on to relationships once they got over that idea. I have also seen it go the other way where they had to get over social training to be nice, helpful, self-abasing to find their own path to power and control. It is no easier for someone to accept their inner D than it is for some to accept their inner s.

*Do you have to be an arse hole to be a Dom?* No, but by some people's definition of "true dom", apparently it helps.

An order is an order, regardless. If my would be Owner told me or asked me to do something it'd be done with a smile. I don't care what shape it takes, it's still just as important.

Well, sometimes the smile resembles a scowl but, what can ya do? [:D]

when I see these posts, I think of them as billboard ads--hey I am xx or hey I am not xx and I want to say--pff grow up and do the search process as we all do----- I am not an ass--I am secure, confident and focused---if a sub thinks that makes Me an asshole--well screw ya---however, if I am perceived as this or that--well hey--pfftt it is what it is--until they are My sub, they are any sub--I don't command to get respect, I am what I am.

MsFlutter -> RE: Do you have to be an arse hole to be a Dom? (1/24/2009 4:18:47 PM)
I cant remember who said it but the best way I've ever seen it expressed was along the lines of "just because whatever I say is bracketed with 'please' and 'thank you', its no less an order'. There is no reason for lack of civility. Well, okay, one I can think of - but they started it !

dreamerdreaming -> RE: Do you have to be an arse hole to be a Dom? (1/24/2009 4:19:28 PM)
I was raised to be polite, and I like being polite and treating others with respect. So I made sure that one of the first things I taught my boy was that many or most of my requirements will likely be phrased as polite requests, but they are to be understood as orders.

YourhandMyAss -> RE: Do you have to be an arse hole to be a Dom? (1/24/2009 4:23:07 PM)
LOL. No, not listening to others definitions of a " true dom" helps.[:D] quote: ORIGINAL: windchymes *Do you have to be an arse hole to be a Dom?* No, but by some people's definition of "true dom", apparently it helps.

VampiresLair -> RE: Do you have to be an arse hole to be a Dom? (1/24/2009 4:31:26 PM)
I personally believe that a Dom who NEEDS to scream, demand and cant ask for something civilly is not as dominant as they seem to think. I can ask for what I want, but there isnt a question whether or not he is going to actually do it. However, were I to shout, scream and bark orders, I would likely get laughed at rather than obeyed. DV

quote: ORIGINAL: WiseCracknSadist Does one have to command to earn the respect and submission of a sub or can one be a Dom by exercising control and civility? Yes, one has to command the respect and submission of a sub and yes it can be done by exercising control and civility. Granted each one of us responds differently. But in my own opinion (and experience), I respond to control and civility. I certainly don't expect a "please, thank you or would you" at every turn, but I don't expect hollaring, yelling, belittling, or barking out orders at every turn either. A look, a touch, or a statement with confidence, control, and respect for Himself is what I need.
