Damn.  What a shame that I was at an afternoon munch today that I missed getting in on the ground floor on this one.  Probably semi-pointless at this time for My two cents, but that's never stopped Me before. 

quote:

ORIGINAL: JWriter

.. that, in the majority, the same expectations and requirements exist for all females, whether subs, slaves, switches, Dommes, or, etc?

Let Me hold you up right there.  I don't honestly give a damn about other people's expectations.  I have My own set of standards, which happen to be pretty darn high.  In My world, that's an accept or don't accept situation.

quote:

Dress in leather.

I happen to be a leather person.  It's part of My lifestyle.  From the brim of My Cap down to the polish on My boots.  I don't wear it because I *have* to.  I wear it because I *want* to.  I get that you might not understand what a leather lifestyle might be about, but in that lack of understanding, you don't speak for Me.

quote:

Wear pointy-toed shoes

Actually, I wear those same boots that are in My primary pic.  They are a rounded toe with a square heel.  I find them absolutely fantastic to play in. 

quote:

Offer me your ass.

Oddly enough, the only person that I even give two second's thought about this subject is clip.  It's My right as an owner, just like anybody else.

quote:

Beguile me with your cunt and tits

Oh, I don't even go there.  Granted, there are some people who have sat with Me by the pool or shared a hot tub with Me, but usually, I just make some kind of joke about being thankful that they didn't go blind.  I don't happen to think My tits or pussy are all that special.  Half of the planet have something similar.

quote:

Spend my money, but, only on things that please me.

You might want to take this up with those who have a pro/client relationship.  It's not My area.

quote:

If you want something from me, perform to my expectations first.

Yeah.  OK.  Trying running that past the men in My life.  My husband would laugh and clip would look at you like you are from another planet.

quote:

Look like an Auschwitz victim, by weight.

Nope.  I really don't.  I had a period where I did when I was pretty sick.  I have a few posts out there on that.  Not something I'm willing to revisit at the moment.

quote:

Wear bright red lipstick.

I happen to like red lipstick when I am in the mood to explore the "smoking siren" fetish.  I think you might be the first person who has actually been more concerned about the tint of the lipstick than the actual cigarette.

quote:

Keep yourself impeccably groomed at all times.

I'll give you that one.  (I'm feeling generous.)  I do care what My hair and nails look like.  I'm not a pony-tail gal.  I happen to have fine hair which never stays right.

quote:

Don't expect me to pay for it.

I don't deal with that.  Quickest filter technique on the planet. 

quote:

Never be comfortable.

Where did you get that from?  One of My favorite posts that I ever wrote here was being floaty from the night before wearing a dang Vikings jersey.  I'm starting to think you haven't met the right men.

quote:

Never be weak.

Can't bullshit you here.  I'm not weak, in a general sense.  Life on life's terms can do it though.  Illness, grief, a car accident where I was shaken up.  Top drop once in a while.  If My cat died, I'd cry for days.  Most stuff doesn't get to Me, but those who can accept when it does are endearing.

quote:

Never be human.

What planet are you on?  Better wishes for luck getting Me to shut up.

quote:

Try not to speak.

You're joking, right?

quote:

In photos, the only way you can tell the difference between a "Mistress" and a "slave girl", most of the time is by whether she is standing or kneeling. Sometimes, you can't tell, even then.

I'd lay money that the high majority of folks don't get that impression of Me.  I said this on a thread last week.  Please, do ask anybody on these forums who has met Me and see if they envision Me submitting in any way.  If people get that vibe from you, that's not My issue.

quote:

And, apparently, both are 24/7 jobs of enforced activity, to heighten the male sense and drain the male libido.

Perhaps you should pick your males better.  I don't seem to have this issue with Mine.  I love both of them a great deal in part because the sexuality came after the bond.  Just My way of things.

I don't either, not with my personal partners.  That doesn't keep me from feeling all of the things that the OP describes, because it still comes at me in the form of uncomfortable social pressures and stereotypical expectations from men who have been taught by the prevailing culture to view me as an object that is supposed to be packaged for their pleasure.  That really isn't fun for me personally as a dominant.

Granted, I consented to a certain amount of this when I chose to hang up my pro shingle.  So my perspective may be a little different.  But I'm not sure how much different, because I spend a lot more time interacting outside the professional scope than I do inside of it, and I've been involved in the BDSM community both online and off for a lot longer than I've done the pro thing.  If anything I felt more of it when I was not doing professional sessions, and it was even more intensely annoying to be solicited as an objectified and essentially dehumanized service top.

No, I haven't noticed this. I'm inclined to agree with LadyPact that you aren't really meeting the right kind of men.

Where do you feel it from, LnT?  Do you feel it in your personal, real life interactions?  When was the last munch that you attended that somebody bent over to you and paraded his asshole?

If you even have an answer for that, I suggest that you get out more.  Hell, I'm at the ends of the earth, and I don't see that at the local munch.  I'm not so full of Myself that I believe Myself unique.  It can be done.  It's not hard.  It's just standards.

Yes, that pro shingle changes your perspective.  Perhaps, had you not, you might see things differently.

Professionally, yes.  Their expectation was that I stay in the dungeon 24/7, not have a life outside of it (eg, not speak to them outside of session space or be a part of their everyday lives), wear uncomfortable clothes at all times, and stick strictly to their fantasy script and not actually initiate a real conversation.

Is this really surprising? 


In a professional setting, no. But in a professional setting I have some sympathy for the men - you are a service provider. And you said that you'd also experienced this at munches, which I would find very surprising.

FFS! And, this is definitely the last time I even look at this thread, much less respond to anything on it. AS I SAID ALREADY it was not about insulting women, or against women at all.

It was about humorously expressing an observation that, regardless of whether they claim to be dominant or submissive, almost all the men on this site ask for exactly the same things out of a woman, when it comes to how to dress, and, what counts as either serving or being served. Which is easily observable by reading their emails, or, their profiles.

It's an observation that was made before, yes. It is even an observation that was made before by both dom and sub men, who also thought it was humorous.

I was not looking for an argument. I did not insult anyone in the original post, and, if I insulted anyone afterward, it was only because they attacked me first.

Fortunately, they are all now blocked and hidden from my view, too.

Sorry for expecting the women on this forum to actually engage in conversation with another woman, just like they were all adults, capable of understanding the same language, and, sharing stories, having a laugh, expressing sympathy at the frustration of it all, or, etc. Trust me, it won't happen again.

I found no humor in your original post - I'll admit to being slightly offended by it (mostly because you came across as assuming that we're all too stupid to realize that most men online get their ideas of BDSM from porn and attempt to box us into their idea of what we should be), but I just rolled my eyes and moved on when I first read it. I don't think you came across as misogynistic, but you DID come across as feeling very superior to everyone else on the boards - like we are just little kids that you're being kind enough to give directions to (of course, using small words to make sure we understand *insert more eyerolling here*)

Just like the bazillion threads about "who is into X kink" and "I've been on the site a whole week and haven't found a Domme to play with" - threads like yours get old and tiresome.

Your origional post was, honestly, anything but origional - it's been done before at least a dozen times. And as I'm not the only one who didn't find it humorous, I'm thinking that the problem isn't my interpretation, but your presentation. You insulted and attacked before you were attacked (I saw no attack in the first reply you got - just that your post made no sense and his intepretation of it) and it went downhill from there.

*edited for horrible spelling which I don't think is totally fixed, but I give up, and clarification reasons

Unfortunately I didn't have to resort to going to this site for the definition of "hng"...but I've found it useful in deciphering numerous acronyms used online. :)

Uh oh. I just looked at the site and found out I've been receiving maintenance texts.

Great. Next thing, I'm going to read the description of HNG and it's going to be me.

Yes! Apparently, I've been strung along by one man or another, who haven't actually asked me out on a date, but have texted/emailed me on a somewhat regular basis just so I don't forget they're around until they've gotten around to asking me out on a date.

Their plan has backfired. I wouldn't date anyone who doesn't actually have the balls to...you know...ask me to go on a date...., but nevertheless, ...I've been maintenanced.

i will only answer from a sub's point of view, as i have no idea what the majority of men expect from slaves, switches, or Dommes.

Dress in leather. no

Wear pointy-toed shoes no

Offer me your ass. Well, yes, assuming i'm sexually involved with the person.

Beguile me with your cunt and tits What does that mean? That they would like to see them? Yes. If i get to THAT point, it's because a foundation of trust and respect has been established.

Spend my money, but, only on things that please me. i normally don't spend other people's money , whether it's for a relationship or just play. The only exception was letting someone pay my entrance fee to a play party, which i would not have been able to pay for myself. The same person gave me an old bike they had, so that i wouldn't have to walk to work after my bike got stolen. Having said that, if i WERE spending someone else's money, why wouldn't they be the one to decide what it was used for?

If you want something from me, perform to my expectations first. Isn't that true for all relationships? Doesn't each person come to the table with certain expectations, and won't each of them leave if they don't get what they absolutely need? i can't comment on whether there are more male subs who think of Dommes as a kink delivery device, but from my point of view as a submissive woman, i would not be involved with any man who saw ME as one.

Look like an Auschwitz victim, by weight. No.

Wear bright red lipstick. No.

Keep yourself impeccably groomed at all times. Actually, i'm kind of a slob.

Don't expect me to pay for it. Pay for what? i bathe and wear clean clothes. My clothes are NOT fancy, but i buy them myself. i don't color my nails. On the rare occasions that i wear makeup i buy it myself, and my hair... well, you can see. i've never had plastic surgery. My grooming doesn't strain my resources. And if anyone expected me to, i would direct them to my profile which lists "requiring me to do anything involving money" as a limit.

Never be comfortable. My top specifically went out and bought new suspension gloves so i WOULD be comfortable.

Never be weak. He has never failed to have patience for my weaknesses.

Never be human. See above.

Try not to speak. Actually, His criticism is that i don't communicate enough.

In photos, the only way you can tell the difference between a "Mistress" and a "slave girl", most of the time is by whether she is standing or kneeling. Sometimes, you can't tell, even then. You mean, on the internet.

And, apparently, both are 24/7 jobs of enforced activity, to heighten the male sense and drain the male libido. So don't buy into the internet bullshit. If i was a stripper, and my ONLY contact with men was through the strip club, and i was to form my opinion about ALL men based on how the majority of men act in a strip club, i would say, men are pigs. But all it would really mean is that many of the men in strip clubs act like pigs. If the majority of men you meet in real life act like that then you're doing something wrong.

Here's the thing about that.  Had your original said anything about HNGs or fantasists on the internet who get all of their ideas from porn, I might have agreed with your outlook.  I didn't see that anywhere in that first post.  If that was your intent, you should have said so in the first post.

quote:

It was about humorously expressing an observation that, regardless of whether they claim to be dominant or submissive, almost all the men on this site ask for exactly the same things out of a woman, when it comes to how to dress, and, what counts as either serving or being served. Which is easily observable by reading their emails, or, their profiles.

There's two ways to look at this.  Either I'm extremely lucky or I'm downright exceptional.  I'll grant you that the couple of hundred folks that I've met from this site are just a small sliver when compared to the thousands of members here.  However, each and every one that I've met face to face has treated Me with the utmost courtesy and respect.

quote:

It's an observation that was made before, yes. It is even an observation that was made before by both dom and sub men, who also thought it was humorous.

Which observation is that?  The HNG one?  It's the internet.  They know that there are some ridiculous men out there who sign up for accounts who don't have the first flipping clue.  I'd be more worried if they were ignorant of that fact.

quote:

I was not looking for an argument. I did not insult anyone in the original post, and, if I insulted anyone afterward, it was only because they attacked me first.

Like I said before, I got here late in the game.  You expected people to read your mind because your first post was painfully unclear.  You went from bad to worse, in My opinion, when you tried to sharpen your claws on Otters.  Who, by the way, happens to be one of the most patient and tolerant people I know when it comes to taking the time to explain things to new folks to the BDSM world.  Far more than I've got, I can promise you that.

quote:

Fortunately, they are all now blocked and hidden from my view, too.

That one is you loss.  Is this where we're supposed to pat you on the back for not being strong enough to handle being challenged by other people and your solution when you are wrong is to hide your head in the sand?  The world will keep turning.  Those blips you are on the screen just aren't all that.

The only one that I see throwing a temper tantrum here is you.  It's pretty obvious that you don't speak My language because I'm the first person to tell folks to stop wasting their time on the net and take yourself out to the meatlife BDSM community where the stuff you are complaining about is rare, if ever present.  See, you're bitching about a problem, but you're not being a part of the solution.  If you don't like the way you think men see you on the net, the answer is to balance that out by sitting at the same table with folks who don't act that way.  It might just give you some perspective back.
