What I'm about to say isn't going to be exceptionally popular, especially considering that this is on the switch forum.

Does it kill your chances?  No.  Will it reduces your chances?  Yes.

In My experience, the truth of the matter is that some Dominant women will not enter into dynamics with those who consider themselves switches.  Some do this because they do not want to have concerns about those who have a top side or don't want to be concerned about potential power struggles within the dynamic.  Some women see the label of switch as those who are doing both specifically to increase the number of folks that they play with (as you actually stated above) and they don't want somebody that they consider a 'player'. 

Before anybody has a fit, I didn't say that all switches fall into one of the categories above.  I said that is how some women see it.  I've talk to too many switches over the years who have run into people thinking this way to deny that it exists.  Also, I know a number of Dominant women personally who have looked Me in the face and told Me they won't consider switches for the reasons above.  People may not like it, but it is the truth.

What you might be doing, OP, is making that small pool even smaller.  I think you should realize that some folks will have their own preconceptions about switches and it could be an obstacle for you if you are really looking for a Dominant woman.  There will be some that will pass a switch by due to their own preferences.
