According to your profile "Slavery is not about me and what I want, but rather it is about what my owner wants. I am here to please them and my reward is a job well done." and "As I want real slavery I am open to numerous things. Ideally I hope to be owned in a more traditional sense as real property. I would love to serve in a domestic capacity and spend most of my time doing manual labor for you. I am, however, open to whatever truly pleases you."

Why are you now putting qualifiers on what they should be asking for? If you are not interested in financial domination, then don't contact them. Move on to the next profile. or maybe "gasp" go out and actually meet people in person.



Yeah this... Errr, and don't forget your wallet.


Your profile is the funniest thing I've read all week (aside from XKCD, at least).

I am not sure if this is simply limited to the Michigan area, but I have seen a disturbing trend of financial dommes popping up all over the place. What troubles me more is that there is an eerie similarity to all of these profiles. I have emailed a few and gotten very similar responses. In one case two different dommes had exactly the same items on their Amazon wishlists.

I realize that this site is full of fake profiles but this seems to be taking it down another direction towards borderline fraudulent behavior. Is there anyway to report these people or at least look into further.


As far as trying to find a REAL dom chick, this place has become almost totally worthless. Every morning when I check the new profiles, 98 percent are either fin dommes, scam dommes or pro dommes. Many subs have asked that CM at least divide profiles between those looking for money and those looking for a genuine lifestyle.

They simply won't do it, and their apologists keep coming up with lame excuses like, "what's to stop a fin domme or scam domme from listing as a lifestyle domme?" The REALLY OBVIOUS answer is the sub males who read the profile and/or contact the person and figure that out. If you can report a photo as being inappropriate or wrong in some way, why can't you do that on a profile? Surely CM can read the profile or read the response the person gave you and figure out the profile doesn't belong under lifestyle dommes.

Simple. But I guess they figure they'd rather encourage the bullshit because it drives traffic to the site, and that traffic means money.

Hey, CM is free. I realize that. But it has kind of morphed from being an "adult" site to being a "porn" site.

BTW, you'll no doubt get responses from people (almost entirely females) who say they're tired of hearing about it, that the issue comes up all the time. Big sighs, lots of sarcasm. And they'll throw a few insults in there too. Ignore it. These people are part of the problem. If they're really tired of hearing about it, then they should support separating the money and lifestyle profiles.

Oh, and BTW, if someone is a "pro" domme but also a lifestyle domme, they could have two different profiles. That's fine. Solutions are simple. There is almost NEVER a "PERFECT" solution for anything. What's exasperating is when you have people who think that, gee, since we can't have a perfect solution, it's silly to talk about any solution at all, even a solution that could make things considerably better.

Right. -----IF----- profiles were separated into lifestyle and money in the first place. Some profiles seem to be lifestyle. You put some effort and time into seemingly building a relationship with that person, then they spring the trap. The problem is, there's no way to report that and get the profile re-classified as not lifestyle.

But I guess you'd rather have another two, three dozen people waste their time and get frustrated.

Thanks for the condescension, BTW.

and, as has been pointed out, there is nothing to stop pro/fins from not stating that they are. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE, FFS!! If it seems to good to be true, chances are slanted to it BEING too good to be true.

if you haven't got the sense to not read too much into something without meeting face to face, whose fault is that?

And, as stated, that's the whole idea of letting the sub males notify CM that a lifestyle profile isn't really lifestyle. If they can screen inappropriate photos --because a user notifies them that it's inappropriate-- they can screen inappropriate profiles --if a user notifies them that it's inappropriate. They would only make the final decision. You need to read my post again. It's really NOT that hard of a concept to understand.

Secondly, nobody is "reading too much" into a profile before meeting face to face. That was a projection on your part. What I said is that it's frustrating to WASTE your time, sometimes hours, trying to get that face-to-face meeting only to find out it was a scam all along. And there's a simple solution to it.

While this is here, I wonder if someone can explain something to me.

Findommes almost inevitably refer to their donors as "pigs". Not any other insult. It's always some variation on pig.

Is there some source material they're all cribbing from here?

At one time the state of Michigan shared with Canada what was known as Blue Laws, women and men were separated in bars. (separated by barriers.) Even entrances and exits were separated but ladies of the night found no shortage of males eager to be separated from their dollars.

The point is, regardless of how this and other sites operate there will always be males desirous of being separated from their monies. At one time they were termed John’s, today customer seems to be more in vogue but even the John has to get off his computer to find what he is looking for. A site cannot do it all for you irrespective of how its set up, the responsibility to find what you want is yours. Do your own diligences and stop the bitching and blaming a site for your failures.

What you don't seem to get is that you are trying to regulate someone else's kink. Man up...pull up your big boy pants, and just block and delete those that you have no interest in.

It's a free site ffs. What you are demanding costs man hours....if you don't like how it is run, demand a fucking refund and close your account. No skin off our nose.

Most lifestyle dommes have absolutely no use for a whiny asshat. If you don't think the lifestylers will look at your forum posts, then you underestimate them.

Think "piggy bank" and you'll understand the term.

The reason the verbiage is so similar is there are actually only 3 FinDommes. Well, technically, 2 of em aren't Dommes, they're dudes in Nigeria.

Each of them have at last count 37,243.5 accounts (one account is shared with a hot anglo chick stuck in a hotel in Africa after her Dominant died in a car wreck involving a warthog and a meercat).

I think the 'pigs' comment may have something to do with the warthog.

My suggestion would be to reply to each and every one of them with "Hakuna matata" to let them know that you have cracked the SEEKRIT code. At this point, they will ask for your social Security number (for the 1099 you understand) and your bank account number so they can split all that cash with you.

yeah, if she doesn't want to do the face to face, ignore, block and delete. Simple. And you CAN report. Whether or not the profile gets shitcanned will depend on if there enough valid reports.

Grow some balls, along with something called common sense.

Personally, I can tell within less than 5 emails if someone is actually interested in meeting (usually less than that). If you haven't developed that kind of radar, it's on you, NOT CM who, (as I said before) is not required to do your screening for you. IF you haven't got the common sense, well, what can I say? what?are you 15 yrs old?

Thanks for giving a great example of the kind of insulting response I told the OP he could expect. It seems to me YOU are the whiny asshat, intolerant of someone who proposes a perfectly reasonable solution to a long-standing CM problem. And you know what? Man hours? Tell you what: I'll do it for FREE. I'd rather spend my "man hours" helping to weed out the money types, which would not be a waste of time, than hours spent trying to build a connection with a phony. At least the former would have a satisfying payoff.
