WiseCracknSadist -> Mistakes (7/18/2009 10:06:48 AM)
What, in your opinion, are the most common mistakes made by Doms and Masters on Collarme? I'm interested in both courting a new slave or sub and general behavior.

TheOneLady -> RE: Mistakes (7/18/2009 10:08:14 AM)
I think the most common one (and most obvious one!) is the failure by the majority to read any part of the profile whatsoever.

KNEEL BITCH! ( when you're typing to me)

Believing that if someone is submissive she is incapable of choosing who she submits to. And not talking to her as a normal person, not bothering to find out what kind of movies she likes, whether she's a cat or dog person etc. In other words believing if she's submissive you can change her drastically from the person she is instead of taking the time to find someone you are highly compatible with from the beginning.

Perhaps one that some Dominats don't think about is having a blank profile or one where the information is somewhat vague. I know alot of Dominants are trying to present an image of mysteriousness or aloofness,but, personally it's kinda like an insult to my intelligence and I refuse to reply to the message or accept any chat or friendship requests. Any Dom that approaches me obviously saw enough in my profile to be interested in me and want to initiate a dialog, so why doesn't He think I would want the same courtesy to decide if I was interested enough in Him to want to know more? Being a Dominant in and of itself is just not enough information to warrant my interest.

Not using enough capital letters when referring to one's self: Me, Mine, etc. Or maybe it's a lack of self awareness. Or holding the flogger by the wrong end.

The very first Dominant I met real time and played with from Collarme wrote to me about a vanilla interest I'd mentioned in my profile. He shared that interest. That lead to many chats and phone calls. We're still great friends after over 4 years and see each other regularly. He and my Dom are good friends and I consider his submissive one of my best friends. If he'd wanted to know my private interests, including kink or sexual interests right away I probably would have written him off as an online whanker and not bothered to write back. Courting a submissive is not so different from courting in a vanilla relationship. You both find some common ground and interests and build up from there.

In my experience, the most common mistake made by doms is to rush things, to move things along too quickly, to have certain expectations without putting in the necessary time and effort.. (and it's not just doms I've known from collarme.)

It seems (to me) a lot want to start out talking about nothing but D/s dynamics without even seeing if they would be compatible in a regular vanilla relationship..

lally2 -> RE: Mistakes (7/19/2009 4:32:13 AM)
the misunderstanding that bugs me, is that just because im conversational, polite and easy going i am likely to be perfect for them. not so. i get on with just about everyone, i can chat till the cows come home more often than not. so..., dont assume anything too soon - that is such a put off for me. she might just be polite and conversational. if she starts to pull back or hesitate or say things like 'id rather not thank you' then you should slow right down and stop pushing her in that direction. the biggest success is when someone is capable of reading between the lines, picks up on nuances and comments and responds accordingly. it shows theyre listening and that they wish to invest effort and thought. bullish barging and ignoring hesitation from the sub is a sure way of losing her trust way before youve even begun earning it. oh - and please dont assume that youre smarter than her and can manipulate her into a situation she isnt ready for, simply because she's a sub and youre a D - thats just naff. submission is organic it grows as the feelings of trust, comfort and need start to develop. its youre job to engender those feelings in her and that can take time.

quote: What, in your opinion, are the most common mistakes made by Doms and Masters on Collarme? it has been awhile for me, but the biggest mistake (and instant turn-off) was a potential Dom trying to pull rank. It did not have to be as obvious as the infamous "Knees/Bitch" approach, but those subtle ways were just as bad

Mercnbeth -> RE: Mistakes (7/19/2009 6:40:24 AM)
the assumption that just because someone has chosen the submissive label, that means they are _______________ (fill in the blank with whatever generalization one cares to make, including, but not limited to submissive).

ChainedExistence -> RE: Mistakes (7/19/2009 7:05:30 AM)
Setting a "standard" for the "perfect" submissive or Dom, then complaining loud and long that no one is out there, and not evenly remotely considering anyone who doesn't meet all their criteria.

petmonkey -> RE: Mistakes (7/19/2009 7:36:31 AM)
not giving credence to what my profile states i am seeking.

quote: ORIGINAL: WiseCracknSadist What, in your opinion, are the most common mistakes made by Doms and Masters on Collarme? I'm interested in both courting a new slave or sub and general behavior. I took the following journal entry out of your profile... quote: There are sub/slaves with demands? How does one thing coincide with the other? By no means am I saying a sub should not have an opinion nor take care of his/her well being. But to demand something is to be hypocritical of what you claim to be. I tire of the endless list of things subs tell Doms they must submit to before the sub will submit to the Dom. Subs, in my opinion, have only requests to be considered and if they have chosen wisely in their Dom should have nothing to fear. Perhaps they are choosing wisely and that is why they are not responding? I don't say that to be an asshole but there are roughly two schools of dominants on here, one that would agree and the others would not. As a broad overgeneralization, IN MY OPINION, the ones who would agree pick women I wouldn't want, the ones who would disagree pick women more along the lines of what I find desirable. If you want the living equivelent of a blow up doll (and they ARE out there) that paragraph is perfect. It would however drive away any woman I might be interested in. quote: . Perhaps you think me too strict. That maybe I take too literal a definition in the terms Dominate and submissive.Then I say to you that you are weak and cowardly. To me the difference between a sub and a slave is that a sub reserves the right to veto certain things via safe words. But even then, if used too often, should be considered topping and a breach of the relationships protocol thus ending it. Ignoring the silly bits about weak and cowardly, but the sort of woman I want doesn't walk up with a sign around her neck saying "I am a level 7a submissive" (and that is just a silly analogy) but instead we dance and as I show her by my actions and deeds that I am indeed the dominant she seeks, her walls, her defenses, melt away and she becomes mine. It doesn't happen on day 2, month 2, it occurs over time with patience and time spent together. I think that is the most common mistake new dominants (and new submissives) make is that you just throw the switch and you have a 24/7 D/s relationship. Meeting someone is like planting a seed, sometimes it takes weeks before anything visible happens.. You still have to water it, keep it warm and safe, feed it, despite not seeing anything happening, then suddenly one day that beautiful vibrant green bursts forth exposing those first soft leaves to you. Evoking someone's submission is no different, it takes time and patience on both sides.

CaringandReal -> RE: Mistakes (7/19/2009 9:36:52 AM)
Whining in their journals...about anything. This may not affect the women you write, who may or may not bother to read your profile, but it certainly affects the women who browse and could or would have written you...until they saw the whine. When subs who read a lot of profiles and who sometimes initiate contact see this, it's an instant turn-off. We don't nod our heads in agreement about what terrible people we submssives are and how wise this clown is to criticize us and point out our faults (which he generalizes onto all submissives from a few experiences with a few individuals); we think, "I'll never write him in a million years! He's 4x, 5x, 6x years old, for pete's sake! When's he going to grow a pair and take responsibility for his own actions instead of blaming others?" No matter how good the profile reads, the whine puts the lie to it. "It" being the idea that this is a mature, repsponsible, or even intelligent individual. I'm sorry, but it's just extremely hard to take somebody who seems to be doing the written equivelent of rolling around in a supermarket aisle screaming his lungs out because he didn't get a piece of candy from "mommy" seriously as a dominant. (Is it clear how I feel about whiners? If not, I can certainly make it clearer! :D) Also, since quite a large percentage of collarme posters do the journal-whine thing, you tend to think when you see one, "eh, they're just like all the other children" and pass them by without even reading the profile.

DomMeinCT -> RE: Mistakes (7/19/2009 3:46:37 PM)
For me... ~ Blank profile = unwilling or unable to describe yourself in a few words, or what you're looking for ~ Whining in journal entries and/or profile ~ Describing others in journal entries in vindictive and/or hateful terms (i.e., using your journal to "get back" at others here with whom you didn't successfully connect) or other immature behavior in journal entries ~ "Write to me and I'll tell you about me" = ugh
