Icarys, after reading your opinion for 22 pages in the other thread, I most certainly know what you think. I also grasp the fact that you ignored my post to you, and instead replied to what I said to Peon.

Yes and I'm going to continue to do so for the foreseeable future till I think you've grown up a little and really want to discuss things and don't have some agenda regarding me.

In-case you would choose to opt for the.."Look he's being rude" attitude...I'll just say this...You've sent a many rude "emails".

Take care.

I am LOVING the "hide" feature!

Now that I am off my phone, I can see that DMF has a baby BEAVER in his profile, not a wild boar shoat! A BEAVER shot! Epic.

Icarys, I have you nicely hidden, but I can see from Wyld that you are on the same old path. Why? We know your opinions, and repeating them endlessly will not make us agree with you. Our experience is not your experience, and your refusing to listen to us does not mean that we are hallucinating our lives.

In regards to your comment towards me. You see, there is a lot of bigotry towards male sexuality that I see far too often around here. A man simply expressing what he likes sexually is considered by you and a lot of people as someone who is waggling tongues with their cock in their hand. They are practically someone who is evil until proven otherwise,


A man who approaches me on my friends-only profile, ignores everything I've said about my wish not to be sexually propositioned, and crudely propositions me anyway, is behaving with a total lack of respect and consideration for another human being.  An exact analogy would be a findomme/scammer who emails men whose profiles say "I don't pay tribute or do pro sessions, don't even ask, and I'm not into humiliation" and yells at them to give her money because they are worthless pigs. 

In both cases, these people are being assholes.  Is that really a difficult concept for you to understand?  Or would you say that a woman who did not respect your stated limits and persistently emailed you demanding that you give her money was acting like a decent, considerate human being?  She isn't; she's acting like an asshole.  And so is the guy who sends crude emails.

A lot of women have as a hard limit that they don't want to be approached sexually by strangers, and they don't want to talk to men who are being crude.  Part of the reason for this is that literally 95% of the mail a woman is likely to get on an adult site will fall into the category of sexual pursuit while socially ignoring her as a person and ignoring all of her stated likes and limits.  And a smaller but still substantial percentage take it to the next level and are actively hostile and aggressive, especially when she's not interested.  I don't know why the vast majority of men who write women on adult sites behave like this, but the reality is that they do.  And it's asshole behavior. 

It is still asshole behavior when women do it to men, or women to women, or men to men.  This is actually something I hear from gay and bisexual men also, as well as a lot of transgendered folks.  My partner (he's pansexual) deleted his nice, friendly, respectable profile from a number of GLBT social sites for basically the same reason; he got sick of his overtures of friendship being ignored while he got questions about his dick size and offers to fuck and suck.  Gender is not the issue; people who are not considerate of other people's personal boundaries are.

The situation is unfair to both men and women, because what may be a relatively small number of assholes (they just email a lot of women) are bombarding every female profile on the site to the point that a woman who comes here is going to feel like her phone is constantly ringing with obscene crank calls.  If this happened to you 95% of the time, you would start to feel suspicious every time the phone rang.  The odds are excellent that it's going to be one more tiresome, obscene crank call.  Want to bet that you'd be a little less eager to answer your phone, a little less friendly, welcoming and happy to say hello?   This really isn't fair to the nice guys, but it's also not fair to expect anyone to feel any other way when they are perpetually shell-shocked from a constant crank call bombardment.  Which we are. 

Realistically in this environment, the nice guys have to take the extra time to make sure they don't look like the not-nice guys if they don't want to get hung up on quickly.  Sexy or kinky rather than human friendly in the very first introduction sends the message that like 95% of the other guys emailing her, you are ignoring her as a human being and only actually communicating with your dick.  If you don't make it clear that you *are* acknowledging her as a person, speaking to her like a normal human being and having an actual two-way communication, you're going to be put into the 95% asshole category whether that is an accurate reflection of you as a person or not. 


quote:

There is a difference between cyber than there is for a man to simply express “this is the kinky scenarios I seek”. If she likes this, lets move on to the next step.


Um, that's why you have that stuff listed in your profile.  And most likely so does she.  It's a good thing if that information is made available to her, but there's a huge difference between having it available and having it skull-fucked into your eye sockets.  

If she's on this site, you already know she's kinky, and her orientation will be listed in her profile.  Since you already know this, how about treating her like a real human being who also happens to be a femdom into CBT?  It's a good idea to have a normal conversation to get to know her as a person before sticking your dick in her face.  You already know she likes tying up penises, but what you cannot assume is that she will want to tie up yours if she does not know you or like you as a person.  So talk to her like a person first. 

I think it's a good idea for men to be straightforward and honest about the kink they're looking for.  It is possible to be straightforward and honest WITHOUT being rude, crude, aggressive, hostile, or refusing to take the time to talk to her in a friendly way first.  That's what I mean about leading with your dick, or whipping it out before you have taken the time to even introduce yourself.


quote:

A male sub is entitled to have a selection criteria to. He is not entitled to play these fantasies with any woman he wants, he is just entitled to wish these fantasies and make it a big priority for the woman he meets. And this is where the “do me sub” crap comes into it.


All human beings in civilized countries can select their intimate partners with whatever criteria they wish.  However, both men and women who are insensitive to the social comfort levels of others are going to have a damn hard time finding people willing to be their partners.

I think you're confusing the unrealistic fantasy mindset of "submissives have no human needs or feelings and exist only to do what their dominants want" with the issue of "subs" on adult sites who are so focused on their own sexual desires that they literally treat femdoms like things and not like people with feelings and needs of their own.  In *both* cases, the fundamental mistake being made here is that kink can be substituted for human relationship dynamics.  Kink is not a shortcut to wanting to get to know someone before wanting to see their dick.  Neither is it a shortcut for honesty, personal transparency, communication and negotiation in a relationship. It is also not an excuse not to be willing to meet your partners' basic emotional and sexual needs. 


quote:

Yes, a man would be expected to introduce himself as a person to, but as this is the BDSM scene and these types of sites are focused mainly on BDSM, you have to expect the first email to be revolved around that particular interest to see if there is a kinky match before going further. Kinky relationships are a lot more complicated than vanilla relationships.


When we already know we're among kinksters, we can relax and be ourselves and get to know people as people, because the filtering has already been accomplished.  You can't email someone without seeing their profile (and if you can, you shouldn't), so you already know whether there is a potential kinky match or not.  If you still come across as being so obsessed with kinky sex that you can't take the time to introduce yourself and have a normal conversation to determine your compatibility as human beings, the obvious conclusion is that you care about getting your kink on but you don't care about finding out whether you like the person you're kinking with.   And that looks pretty bad.

I don't care if a guy has every single kink interest that I do.  If he's totally into the Denver Broncos and I don't know or want to know what sport they play, we might not be compatible.  If I'm a hardcore gamer geek and he thinks that people who play D&D and dress up for Ren Faires are loser nerds, we're definitely not compatible.  This stuff is just as critically important as the kink compatibility, or more so, in determining who I'm willing to spend time with and be intimate with.  If you don't bother checking personal compatibility because you're too busy trying to figure out how to get a woman to let you sniff her feet, we're already done before we even got started.  


quote:

Another problem is that it seems more acceptable for a domme to expect a man to kiss her ass or suck up within the first email as its BDSM dynamics. Yet a man is seen different to express his sexual kinky needs straight up to find out if he should go further or move on in his search.


I think you're spending too much time looking at scammer profiles and fake profiles.  I know very few femdoms in real life who expect anything more than normal human courtesy from people of any orientation when they are first approached.

There's really no way of knowing and even if a few stepped up with the same conclusion, your result would be worthless. Just not enough to know for sure.

That doesn't make Me less curious on the subject.  Did it change matters?  Are fewer messages being read since the hover feature was implemented?

quote:

I think I made it clear that it wasn't okay..All I said was there are more possibilities than most are willing to hear because they have prejudices against a certain outcome.

It doesn't come across that way.  It could be the phrasing.  It could be that we've just talked it to death.

quote:

And yes I have answered a really large majority of the Nigerian ones even though I also said earlier that bringing up an argument on the worst case scenarios that I think the majority would agree are strictly solicitations for some sort of trickery..well is a tad useless.

Best analogy that I could come up with that would fit the "crap you didn't want to receive" criteria.  I'm basing My responses on this thread on the incoming mail that I didn't want to get.  If you have a category that fits better, I'm all ears.

quote:

I'm not saying you are responsible but that doesn't mean we should be flippant about another human being either right?

The last part is a little silly and it reeks of baiting.


Yes, we should be flippant.  What kind of emotional mess would anybody be if they took on all of the concerns about every person who creates an account on a particular site on the internet?  I know you've read enough of My posts in the past to recognize that I prioritize other people in a very specific way.  I don't have an emotional investment in the guy from India who writes to Me to ask if he should pursue this lifestyle or most of the other stuff that I receive from complete strangers.  I'm not signing up for being a charity just because someone else joined the same site that I happen to enjoy.

LnT, as usual, you post very eloquently and truthfully about what we as female dominants are looking for. Thank you. Personally, I have lost patience with folks who just are not getting it, and have nothing to do but complain about how THEY are not having their needs met.

The person you directly responded to is not going to get it anytime soon. He, and so many others who have passed through here, are so firmly entrenched in their own worlds that seeing what others see is not even possible, let alone desirable. Even though the path of least resistance will take them nowhere, they will keep on, and ignore the chance to go another way.

It's hard for me to be flippant unless someone warrants it in some way.
Can there not be middle ground here..Do we have to become emotional messes or wind up in mental hospitals because we've had some bad emails?

If you don't have an emotional investment in the guy from India why would you be upset if he called you a cunt?

Nice ad hominem. That said, as you wish.

General reply:
I have to say that this particular discussion usually starts with a premise that I consider false. The men who start these threads often equate not replying to a cmail with not replying to someone who says 'hello' on the street, which is comparing apples to oranges. Most people who say 'hello' on the street, in an elevator, or in the grocery aren't looking to get to know you better, and don't expect some lengthy exchange. The other side is more like a bar or club, where people go to talk to friends, meet new people, or both.

Taking that view, I have to say that it is fairly rare to see the following happen in a bar or club (at least the ones I know)
quote:

Him: Hi, can I buy you a drink?
Her: No, thanks. I'm waiting for someone (or other polite rejection)
Him (yelling): OH YEAH? WELL I WASN'T INTERESTED ANYWAY, YOU FAT PIG!

In a public venue, a person who behaves this way will be removed, because there will be witnesses to their unacceptable behaviour. To me, that is where the argument breaks down. Women are told that we should act the same online as we would in public, despite the fact that the result is often something unpleasant that is not tolerated in most public places.
This really makes no sense.

To put it another way, it is commonly considered polite to offer your seat on a public transport to someone older, pregnant, in a cast, etc. If half of the time or better, the response was for said person to say, "Fuck off, asswipe!" and spit at your feet, it wouldn't take long for most folks to become a lot more careful who they decided to be 'polite' to. While this would suck for the nice person who could really use the seat, expecting someone to put themselves in an unpleasant situation over and over again for the sake of being polite isn't very realistic.

Yep. Pretty much. Why do you ladies insist on cosseting the trolls? Let them have the last word, by ignoring them and letting them rabbit on. They do not affect our lives.

It is remarkable how many MEN have the complaint that they are being treated rudely. It's not rudeness they are offended at, it's the "no one is paying attention to ME" whine. I write to people, male and female, and if I do not hear back from them... well, then, I haven't heard back. The operative word is NEXT! Not, "oh, how rude!"

Let's not confuse things.  I never said the person called Me something nasty.  At the same time, I prevented that happening in any second correspondence.  The site allows women to prevent such things by having the block ability.  You can't argue with results.

Now, was it warranted?  It depends on your point of view.  The person obviously didn't read My profile.  In essence, he ignored what information that I provided in the first place.  In a case like that, it shouldn't be a surprise that he got ignored or discounted in return.  Do you really care if someone across the planet gets involved in this lifestyle or not?  Probably no because it doesn't effect you in any way.  Same thing.

In all of these conversations regarding email, you've yet to step up to the plate.  I have told you that My methods save My time, My energy, and prevent Me being a target when people want to lash out from being rejected.  Block, report spam, and/or delete benefit Me directly.  Your preference in how women deal with unwanted email just doesn't live up to that.

How many times can the same topic be stated? I find it interesting that there are so many interesting topics that could be discussed on these boards, but for some boring reason, all that has been going on is a tired rehash of people whining about responses.

Is it a full moon? Change of seasons?

This place used to be so much fun...now it is filled with people stamping their feet trying to out-opinion everyone else. And it is always, ALWAYS the same people squawking in defense of the poor misunderstood emailers who never hear back from the emails they send.

I suppose no one has noticed that the OP's who start the threads pretty much go POOF and never come back, other than perhaps, to enjoy the party they started.

But hey, keep going..some of these threads reach 20 pages, that is great for the ego and post count, huh?

We really should start a thread called Actual Email Exchanges Received by Women of Collarme. Then perhaps when everyone sees over and over and over again what we get when we attempt to be polite, then perhaps this topic will finally die.

I think the issue is not about rudeness and politeness.  I think that is merely a smoke screen for what is underneath.

Some people want to complain about reality.  That's fine.  Heaven knows we all need a rant every now and again.  Mine recently has been to do with the lids on the cups of coffee I get in the morning.  I don't know why, but I can't get them shut properly (I am absolutely and unapologetically a klutz).  Oh how many blouses have been dribbled upon?!  So I can keep complaining or I can bring my cup to the coffee shop, the cup I know how to close.  I can choose to ignore reality, right or wrong, and moan and complain and cry... OR I can change my non-working ways. 

The problem with these kinds of discussions is that people filter things through a very specialized lens - their own.  It is what it is, right or wrong, and we can either choose to manage it, or we can close our eyes.

By the way, my coffee cups, every blue moon or so, I have gotten the lids on properly.  I can see that as the outlier it is or I can figure that if I keep doing it this way, I will eventually get what I want... and ruin a whole lot of blouses in the process.

You know it's early in the morning when you use coffee analogies.  Am I making any sense?  Really.
best,
sunshine

Sure let's not do that. I never made a specific reference..Just went off of your example to show the logic behind what you said.

I thought I had made myself pretty clear in all of this. It's not about a preference. I personally don't get offended or upset if someone does that. I just write them off as rude and count blessings. My time on these boards are mainly spent getting a different view across and that's not always a view that I personally hold in like.

Oh when you say step up to the plate..you mean agree with you and concede in some way? I didn't know we were playing a game here..I thought this was an open two-way discussion..What it seems like is most of you refuse to see both sides

Not a game.  Think of it like a balance sheet.  More in a positives and negatives kind of way.  There just aren't benefits to the receivers of unwanted email in what you suggest.

Two funny things about this.  The first is, I answer more email than I ignore.  Pretty easy for someone to get a response from Me.  It's not that difficult for someone to read a profile, craft something relevant based on that information, ask about something that I have knowledge about or want to discuss.  Quite a while back (two or three years) we had a thread running on how to get a response.  I went to My profile (at the time) and pointed out ten obvious things mentioned in it that a person could ask questions about that I'd be more than likely to send an answer.  That really does work.

The second thing that I find ironic is that we've had this discussion over a number of threads, but if anything, this issue should be better than ever before.  There's been a serious change in the signal to noise ratio since the spam filter was implemented.  The volume of the crap has gone down.  Not eliminated by any means, but there has been a reduction.  By numbers alone, the percentages of desired email has gone up.  It would seem this is a better time than ever to send the kind of emails that women will respond to.

As an experiment, I've tried nastygrams. Different kinds of women are attracted to it. And sadly, I do get more overall responses, and I'm able to spin about 20% of those into "But I'm actually a cool guy."

[long description of game playing and social manipulation redacted]

When you get a response, break out the tailor made stuff. Until then, be smart, don't waste your time re-inventing the hello.


So you see human communication for the purpose of forming intimate relationships as a manipulation game where you are playing the odds, seeking to maximize the number of respondents by presenting yourself in what is essentially a calculatedly deceptive fashion?

How's that working for you?  Not in the sense of getting short term responses; you've already stated that you are so successful at playing and manipulating women that you're drowning in pussy.  I mean in the sense of how do you actually feel about life in general, about yourself, your personal integrity, and your ability to sustain a long term loving relationship with someone you genuinely like and respect enough to share your life and your real self with?



I don't see it as one, and I don't see it as the other. I see it as a third option: Far more complex than mere truth or lies.

How's it working for me... How do I feel about life? ...Awed. I'm at the point where I'm overwhelmed by all the things I don't know. I know enough to know there's plenty more.

As for my 'ability to...words... more words... respect enough to share my life with" I have to tell you, it's hard. My standards are impossibly high, and I'm self-aware enough to recognize that; I'm working on being more accepting of people.

What I did today is an example. Met a cute girl named Patience at the grocery store, got her number and called her up today. Walked around the strip for a while down by the beach. She gave me an unrelentingly bad picture of all of her exes. I joked, philosophized, my usual thing, and she didn't pick up on 90% of the subtext. Didn't ask me questions about things, unless I made a painfully simple setup. I made it look easy but in the back of my mind I was repeating "Hates her exes... time to go." Which is what I did. She texted me about 3 hours ago; I haven't responded, probably won't tonight. She's nice 'get together' material though, so I'll probably introduce her to some other friends and see how she does with them. She'll never date me, and she'll probably think it was her idea not to. Pshh. That kind of manipulation is me being nice, but it still... you know, if a girl caught me and asked what was up when I was setting her up to be freed from the hook, then I'd be impressed.

Most guys would've gone home with her if they'd had my shot. The girl was insanely hot, could be pretty entertaining when she talked about sports and wasn't stupid, and was ready to go. Me, I was just not impressed, and it killed my game. These days, I'm only impressed by self-aware women who know how they can best fit in an active man's life, be responsive, and not cause problems. I want a woman who loves a subject, like geology or history (or even football, like Patience did) well enough to interest and entertain. Oh, and have some familiarity with a gym. A waistline smaller than mine is mandatory. And last but not least, is flexible enough to roll with the good times and the bad ones.

That's a long list. And unlike a lot of people, I will walk away sooner rather than later if it's not in full evidence. If I die a bachelor, I'm ok with that.

That answer your questions?

. . . . forming intimate relationships as a manipulation game . . . .




How is that psychologically possible? Getting intimate requires being honest; manipulating requires being dishonest. Or perhaps I'm being an epicurean tardis again.



See now, I disagree. You can be intimate based on lies. Seen some good relationships work that way; where all parties agreed not to challenge each other's bullshit. And it works for them. Honestly, I see those people who can keep their eyes closed and their noses pinched as lucky, in a lot of ways.

And more importantly, you can manipulate with nothing but sheerest honesty.
