Rant Time! I've also seen a lot of profiles from people who look down on those who don't live and breathe the lifestyle 24/7. There are so many reasons that might not be possible for certain individuals. Its pure snobbery, in my opinion. SimplyV, I think you are right about the purists. These kinds of people seem to feel superior simply because they are more "hardcore" and "traditional" than others. Personally, I find that attitude extremely unattractive and have had to tell several members so in no uncertain terms much to their dismay. I'm just getting into this lifestyle. I've had people get angry with me for calling it a subculture instead of a lifestyle. I've had people get pissy with me for calling it "play" - well, lots of other people call it that. I like the idea of play, but so many people don't think that's serious enough. I think it seems way too serious. I want to have fun, but if I say that, people think I'm a faker or that I'm just out to take advantage of people. Its very frustrating to hear from people who think I'm confused because I say in my profile and journal that I'm not interested in having relationships with certain kinds of people, or that I'm stupid because I don't like the idea of being with a dominant male at this phase in my life. What I don't understand is why these people feel that they have to correct others constantly instead of minding their own business. Did they ever learn anything about ettiquette at all? And how would they feel if I was filling their in-boxes with preachy BS? Sorry. You've probably heard all this a million times. I think I'm done now. [:D]
