So how long do you think it would take for most of these "Financial Dommes" (the ones barely old enough to drink) to break and submit if challenged face to face?

No idea, but I doubt you'd enjoy it as much as you think since most of them are middle aged men running a con.

Once in a blue moon I vent about something. Other than that I generally ignore the bs.

You can insult all you wish. It doesn't bother me in the least because you haven't taken the time to get to know me, and therefore your opinion doesn't really matter. Just like My opinion doesn't really matter to most on here.

I don't believe most of the crap I see on here.

But in regards to the comment asking about what I do for the lifestyle? Here is what I do for the lifestyle...
I am OPEN about being in the lifestyle. I don't hide it. I don't keep it as a dirty little secret. I talk about it with anyone and everyone. And I do my best to enlighten those around me that are not into the lifestyle. While I am relatively antisocial at heart, I do my best to make sure anyone that has a question about the lifestyle gets it answered and that they get the facts about it.

Like I said everyone that knows me knows I am in the lifestyle, most are not comfortable with it. But a few have realized it is not a bunch of wackos beating each other to a pulp.

So what do I do for the lifestyle I work to educate the vanillas about what the lifestyle really is. Despite the bs it causes for me. I put myself out there in the public view so the public can learn. There are already plenty of people teaching those within the lifestyle. We need more people to be honest about who they are and to teach the rest of the world about the lifestyle so that people can feel more confident about embracing their desires and sexuality.

It may not be much but if enough people are open about it then eventually people won't have to hide who they are. My hope is that one day it will be as accepted by the public as anything else.
I even had a bumper sticker on my car that said "Don't worry, it's only kinky the first time" That was actually put there by one of my managers at work.

That is what I hope to see.....

What I expect to see is our puritanical society in this country continuing to crush any attempt to live outside the "norm"

I am an optimistic pessimist

I keep hoping for the best but I believe the worst is still going to happen.

Now I am off to have fun.

One can do some pretty kinky things with Vanilla Ice Cream cones even. I think the complaint was about people at least following a baseline set of ethics/morals. I really don't see any of the flavors BDSM such as Gor, Leather and etc.. promoting dishonesty and scams. Have financial wannabe Dommes established their own cult yet? Ummmmm...

Gee...I wonder how many people have had their wallets and purses lifted by Strippers or Prositutes? I can't imagine anybody using SEX to bait and lure victims. LOL (it's been going on for hundreds upon hundreds of years).

Have there been any threads centered around True vs. Fake Financial Dommes?

That sounds like an interesting thread. What constitutes a real Fin Domme, or a fake one? I'd like the OP to answer this one as well.

I think that, generally, "real" and "fake" are just words people throw around to try to make people seem inferior or superior to one another.

I consider people "real" if they don't intentionally try to appear as someone they're not. By this definition, the "PAY ME NOW SLUT PIGGIES!" girls are real, as long as they're actually the girls they put in their photographs and as long as they actually view the world the way they claim to - or, at least, part of them does.

I'm not about to attempt to decide what constitutes a "real dominant" or a "fake" one, and that doesn't say anything about the amount of respect I have for that particular type of so-called financial domination.

To me it sounds like he's pushing his kink on people unconsensually by "oversharing" and because he has a chip on his shoulder, just like he has a chip on his shoulder about profiles (or else why would he be on about "how long it would take him to break them and show them their proper place" - sounds like a bunch of BS and empty macho blunder to me).

Ethics are fine, but we can't police the ethics of other people and why would a grown up person want to do that anyway?

OMG, whenever somebody talks a bunch of bollocks it's his "freedom of speech" right, nope, he's exercising his right to make a complete ass out of himself, and he's extremely successful.

On FB if you overshare, people can simply press a button and they won't see your posts anymore, in real life having an acquaintance who bugs you with his sexual preferences... I would tell him to put a sock in, but not everybody is quite so outspoken.

And that he's the selfappointed missionary of BDSM, heaven help us from being represented by his ilk... I'm pretty sure that he's not the best advertisement the kinky world can have.

Here's My question back to you. Exactly what are you doing about it?

If your concern is for the next generation of lifestylers, what actions are you taking? Are you promoting your good experiences in the community? (I mean the real world one, not the stuff that can be found on the net.) Are you spending your time teaching topping skills or taking any speaking engagements to explain how your dynamic works for you? Do you show up for learning days in the community or help those fledgling TNG groups get off of the ground? How many events this year have you helped to set up or clean up or volunteer the hours needed to get it off of the ground?

Always remember. When you are pointing the finger at the site about what it isn't doing to the next generation of lifestylers, there are still three fingers pointing back at you.

Seriously, I perused the profiles of dommes today because of an arrogant email I received from some halfwit wannabe domme, and I was surprised at the number of barely legal dommes demanding tribute and such.

Honestly how much experience do they have and what kind of fool gives his/her hard earnings to some kid to be spent on useless junk?

Are these the values you want to instill in the next generation of lifestylers? That it is okay to know absolutely nothing about the lifestyle and be trying to live off those that are serious about it?

Surely there is a way to crack down on this nonsense.

Wouldn't it be nice if they screened this place better and blocked stupidity like this.

File this under: Who gives a fuck?

If you get arrogant email, block the sender.

If you don't like financial domme profiles, don't look at them.

If you don't like how collarme does things, leave and start you own site.

Don't appoint yourself of "the next generation of lifestylers" -- a lot of those dommes don't give a fuck about "the lifestyle" and the rest of future lifestylers will do fine without you.

So bottom line: quick being a pretentious bore.

Damn, people don't believe all the shit posted on the internet? Fuck, there goes my bullshit lines about turning a girl into a human candy bar, slicing her into pieces and selling her off (piece by piece) on the street corner. WTF, this just ruined everything. Damn damn... Damn you people all to hell.
