The four best men who have dominated me have been from four different web sites (and not including this one). I think it's fairly hit and miss and chance, just like meeting people in real life except I find vanilla sites particularly unhelpful/unfruitful.

I'm not looking on collarme anymore, I come here for the message boards...

I've noticed something. Most of the women who post on the message boards are taken and/or are in their late 30's or older. I'm 30 and I usually like women younger than myself. Or if they are older, still within the 31 - 35 range. This doesn't help me much in terms of what I'm looking for.

Sometimes I think the younger generation is just too jaded/lazy/apathetic.

Heh, the way you put that, it reminds me of the Family Guy episode where Peter was playing a synthesizer in the music store and because he just set up the automatic beats, this guys tells him he's a big, fat phony and contiues to do so throughout the episode. Like if you were that guy, you could respond to all of the phony profiles and go, "You're a big fat phony!"

Bitterness is not normally seen as an attractive thing in a potential partner.

And going from there, consider the numbers who are dysfunctional or have their heads in the clouds (they don't understand a reality-based relationship, or those who label themselves incorrectly (misrepresentation), that leaves precious little suitable potentials remaining. It's probably good to be a bit jaded and cynical when entering into this process.

I'd say cautious. But jaded and cynical? I'd never go near a profile or person I saw signs of being jaded and cynical.

Too much baggage. And they always end up fufilling their own prophecy.

No thanks.

your numbers just seem to indicate that you have to do 1:1 approximately 80 times before you have a 1:1 that is satisfactory to oneself. I guess I am lucky... I only had to do it a few times before I found my 2:1. Numbers are great but there is always luck too

Number of active male "doms" in Kentucky (last time I looked, about a month ago): a gazillion.

*counts on fingers and toes* So that mean's only about one tenth of a gazillion real doms, eh? Wow... with so few, I was really lucky. ;)

I'm hardly bitter. But it's the truth. In fact, I think the percentage is higher than 95%. Factor in all the Nigerian bullshit profiles, the profiles that disappear within 24 hours, and so on, and I think you'll be very lucky to find one real person out of twenty profiles.

Yeah... how is that bitter? I think he's on the money with regard to the ninety-five percent. Just take a look at all the ''Do Me'' monikers, that tells ya a whole lot right there.

I have to admit, this is one of the funniest threads I've seen in a while. Even if I did start it.

Does pathos have a name?

If it does, it is in this thread.
