I'm not responding to anyone specifically, but to the thread in general. I think a lot of people have already covered a lot of the information I would normally cover in this sort of a commentary, but I still felt inclined to comment. I've been to a number of munches and parties over the years where I've found the ratio of women to men to be overwhelmingly more men than women. In the few organizations I've joined over the years where women basically had the control of the group (or were the main emphasis at least), that ratio really dropped a lot, especially when gatherings were designed so any males had to actually be invited by the women attending. For me, I've always known that a submissive male has a much harder time finding a dominant woman than the other way around. The numbers are absurd at times. Having said that, I also know (or seriously suspect) that the number of sincere submissive males is pretty close to the number of sincere female dominants. The problem is the overwhelming number of guys who are trying to "score", get some kind of "action" or just think they're a lot more submissive than they really are. Because they ALWAYS show up, they outnumber practically any women who show up and make any sincere submissive almost irrelevant because most (not all) sincere submissives aren't going to be leg humping like so many of the other males who do show up, so their chances of even making a connection are pretty limited. But that doesn't mean they can't. It just means it's that much more difficult. And because of all of the game players that do show up, it makes it that much harder, and more frustrating, for any sincere dominant looking to find a potential partner, unless she's just there to have a good time. I've spent a large number of years looking for someone myself, and to be honest, my discouragement in the search has pretty much jaded me at the whole experience, to the point where I have pretty much taken myself out of the search. As I don't date on a vanilla basis, I've moved away from even trying anymore and instead prefer to just have conversations with people into the scene and leave it at that. One day, I'll probably look for someone again, but it's a much different animal these days than it used to be. But going back to the OP, I think most people realize she's looking mainly for professional contacts, or at least men who are willing to put forth money as a part of the search. That, to me, is why she's not finding what she's looking for, because when you do that sort of thing, you're going to find that sort of thing, and that audience is so much different than the one she actually claimed to be looking for. But that's her deal, and I really don't have any negative comments to put forth about that. I just kind of realize why she's not going to find what she's seeking, and my spidey senses start to go up when I start to realize that it's somewhat suspicious that she's been doing this for some time and hasn't figured out what is so obvious to so many other people. But what do I know? I'm just a friendly muppet.
