Ok, bashing the OP aside... I think the original, very badly phrased point behind the thread was about the economics of collarme: That, going by supply vs demand, the disparately high availability (and activity) of male doms as opposed to fem subs should theoretically mean that there should be very few single/lonely subs. And, as I understand it, OP's opinion is that this isn't so because said subs set hard limits or are too picky. Am I getting this right OP? I think there's a lot of factors in play here. Traditionally, even in situations with a 1:1 sex ratio, a large number of men will usually pursue a relatively smaller number of the more 'attractive', 'promiscuous' or 'easy' women. I say that in 'quotes', because I'm using existing semantics and because attractiveness and promiscuity can be very culture/context-relative. In a BDSM context, for example, having no hard limits can be compared to the 'easy' girl from high-school. Also, guys tend to pursue more than one gal at a time, at least till something serious comes along. So, while you would think that every girl would have a guy waiting for her, every single girl usually has to choose from a large number of single guys with their roses (or emails) at her feet, many of whom would be totally wrong for her and some who would probably reject her the minute she said yes to their offers. The thing is, guys tend not to be picky when they first hit on women (they get picky after the sex happens) which forces the women to be picky, sometimes even arbitrarily so - because if they don't match up they're not gonna work anyway, and someone has to be selective. Wow.. did I actually make any sense there? --- btw, I'm not making judgments here, I'm just discussing social patterns I've observed. I could be wrong, social anthropology is not my field
