zzzstinky -> Taking classes to please a Mistress. (7/26/2006 12:47:52 PM)

Hi All,

I know even before I ask this question that I could get many answers from many viewpoints. However that' okay as I am looking for idea's that might be out of the ordinary. My goal is to make myself an attractive proposition to a Dominant woman, so I stay fit and try to eat well. However I have also though having some extra skills might help (and no not just that) :)
What I was thinking about was taking a few extra courses at colleges or local learning centers, or on line to benifit my eventual owner. For instance I have taken basic cooking classes, I read the Tide web site from top to bottom to become a laundry expert. I was thinking of maybe taking a course in cosmetics or something along those lines. If I could respectfully ask any other courses Dommes might think were valuable skills for a slave/servant to have?

Thanks,
robby.

i think that you should study something that you like to do....



thetammyjo -> RE: Taking classes to please a Mistress. (7/26/2006 12:58:30 PM)

Part of this will depend on the type of woman you are looking for.

In my training I do before I'll own someone, one of the exercises we do is to pick something the submissive wants to learn to do and then he/she goes and finds classes and begins that process. One sub wanted to learn belly dancing and he had to go to some effort to convince the instructor that "no, he wasn't there to check out chicks" -- he became one of her best students in fact. Another took some business courses to help her run her massage businesss better. Fox enrolled in a course on relaxation which taught him how to relax and how to help me relax (which is a real problem for me).

I would love to have someone who could take dictation and type up what I've dictated.

Others might want someone with outdoors knowledge.

kittensmailbox though is right. Whatever it is, it should be something you want to learn too because if you do it just for the possible future, the attitude can be wrong and sometimes attitude is more important than skill or ability.



zzzstinky -> RE: Taking classes to please a Mistress. (7/26/2006 1:00:56 PM)

That's true... and I do try to take classes of my own interest... They may also be benificial but to be honest I am looking for some things that I probably would not have though about. I suppose I could just flip through some course catalogs and pick at random... But the last time I did that it fell open to a page on "Accounting 101" who knows??? That may work too...



IndigoDadesi -> RE: Taking classes to please a Mistress. (7/26/2006 1:02:11 PM)

Thats an interesting way of looking at the situation.

But when I chose my slave I took him untrained, for better of worse, and am now training him to do things as I like them done. The nice thing about it though is Im basically starting on a blank canvas. Its the parts that I have to RE-train that are a pain and the hardest to do.

I would concentrate on learning things that you are already interested in. That way you arent wasting time on something that you dont enjoy incase your future mistress wants you to re-learn it to her specifications.



gooddogbenji -> RE: Taking classes to please a Mistress. (7/26/2006 1:07:13 PM)

As I work in hospitality, specifically food and beverage, many courses which further my career are also good for pleasing a potential owner.  For example:

Bartender
Server (Basic Swiss certification)
Chef (Basic Swiss certification)
Sommelier (ISG 1, 2 soon to follow 3 ASAP afterwards)
Butler school sometime next year

Also, when doing any kind of crosstraining of staff in the hotel, I benefit from expert knowledge on housekeeping, concierge duties (how to find things, tricks for reservations, etc)

That having been said, we also have spas in both hotels, and part of my ongoing training is to get manicures and massages to learn new tricks...  LOL

Yours,


benji

I have always wanted a submissive who could do a professional manicure and pedicure. I think that this is a really valuable skill to have for a submissive/slave and is not that hard to learn.

BlkTallFullfig -> RE: Taking classes to please a Mistress. (7/26/2006 2:25:36 PM)

I would enjoy a boy who'd taken classes in housekeeping and cooking...  As far as I'm concerned, one needen't be trained in anything particular to be considered by me;  what he does need is to be submissive, have manners/some social skills, and pray we share chemistry.
Other classes, I would encourage if he showed a desire/talent for something specific.   M

I have to second the above any submissive/slave that has mastered these talents gets high points from me.  [:)]  But, most any skill that would make the lady's life easier would be most appreciated by many.  However, it would likely depend upon the person you are going to serve as to what skills you bring with you that would be seen as a plus, as you can see by what some have stated.  Some women prefer a relatively blank canvas.  If you've got it flaunt it a little.  I want to know what you're working with[;)]  As far as skills are concerned.

I provided these services (among many others) to my Mistress for over 15 years.  The one thing I never got to try that I've seen suggested is having to paint toenails with the brush in my lips/teeth (and of course being punished for any mistakes!)

We did save tons on the nail salon over the years, and as you say, it is not that difficult to learn, plus is quite rewarding.



GoddessDustyGold -> RE: Taking classes to please a Mistress. (7/26/2006 3:24:07 PM)

It really does depend on where your main interests lie, as you can get pretty specific on certain things.  For example, if I had a boy who knew how to change the oil and give the car a tune-up, that would be a plus, but not something I would require a boy to know in order to be considered. An auto mechanics class might be expensive, just so that he could do what I can pay for every 3 months for $20 at Jiffy Lube.  And he would be taking the car over there anyway!  *Smile*
But learning some basics about gardening, aromatherapy and massage, good, all around cooking and knowing how to set a nice table, as well as the often longed for manicure and pedicure talents and secretarial skills are lovely items to bring to the table.  Other things to consider are the ability to paint a room, fix a minor plumbing problem, replace an electrical breaker, and find your way around a grocery store.  Many of these things are very practical skills, and you might be surprised at how many boys don't have the foggiest idea that this might be part of wonderful service, yet there is no necessity for a formal class!
Edited to add:  You are right about the wealth of information on the web.  This is precisely what My jonathan is doing right now as a part of his weekly tasks.  He is given a topic to cover, and then he reads and studies and writes an essay.  Thanks for the tip about the Tide site!  I am sure he will thank you himself, also!

Massage is also a great skill to have, along with vehicle maint, handy man skills and things like that. They aren't always necessary and you may never need them, but it would seriously open up possibilities to you.

It's good to be able to cook and launder. I would prefer for you to study expository writing or composition. Improving your writing will directly help your initial correspondence if you're fond of online dating. If you come to learn more correct and precise written communication, you are almost certain to improve your spoken communication as well, because you will have come to compose thoughts with greater clarity.

Once that's done, you might take a course in any humanistic subject that catches your fancy, as long as the course would involve a lot of analysis. Courses in philosophy, art history, political science, religion, literature, and history are all good options. Like the above course of study, it will improve your argumentative thought and writing, and additionally a subject-analysis course would teach you valuable content.

I agree with ShiftedJewel.  A good massage is a wonderful thing. [:)]



jonathan -> RE: Taking classes to please a Mistress. (7/26/2006 6:58:10 PM)

Well, you're showing that you know something about service with this post. Congrats. my Goddess has always placed an emphasis on massage and, having some experience as an 'end user', i would gladly become a certified massage therapist for Her. Mentioning that in my petition impressed Her, actually. When i first thought of approaching Her, i even located a school near Her where i could become properly trained and certified. It is about what you'd want to do anyway, with the twist that it also would please Her. So i'm scraping the rust off my manicure/pedicure skills as well.



MasterFireMaam -> RE: Taking classes to please a Mistress. (7/26/2006 7:43:25 PM)

robby,

Here is a list of things that I would find useful. This comes from my Household Manual. Perhaps it will be helpful to you...but others are correct, it will depend, largely, on the Dominant. Even so, it doesn't hurt to improve yourself.

Service Areas

Master Fire



Calandra -> RE: Taking classes to please a Mistress. (7/26/2006 11:49:34 PM)

These might have been suggested, however I cannot stress the importance of learning the following...
Auto maintenance
Lawn care
Basic home repair/maintenance
Manicure/pedicure
Hairdressing
Massage
Homeopathy - aromatherapy
Floral arranging
Formal table service
Cooking - especially exotic cooking such as sushi, chinese, pastries, etc.
 
Other areas of knowledge are also important:
Dressing/grooming himself appropriately for any occasion
Wines - not snobbery, simply what wines usually compliment what foods
Opera - know the storyline of some of the famous operas and composers 
Literature - be familiar with the classics and their authors.
Current events - know what's going on in the world, educate yourself and consider what you feel about world affairs.
 
If you take time to invest in yourself, you will find that you are prepared to be an escort, companion, and so much more in your submission/slavery.
 
Contrary to popular belief, we don't all want mindless, spineless drones who become a mirror of our own opinions.  



MzMinx -> RE: Taking classes to please a Mistress. (7/27/2006 12:20:22 AM)

the fact someone  has started learning  skills that can be associated to service, is to me a great bonus,  beyond the actual  specific skills they have learned

But massage of many types ...reflexology .. remedial ..  even tantric

pedicures and manicures are lovely skills , and learning the mimimum about  different household tasks like laundry, vacuming  etc etc

anything that helps you understand how to  prepare and serve food  is good

being able to balance the house hold accounts not just get the bills payed but be able to show a detailed account for  everything ... so your Dominant knows what you have spend and why


*warm smile* ....   everyone likes different things ...    but its true most of us appreciate self motivated leraaning and the desire to please




MisPandora -> RE: Taking classes to please a Mistress. (7/27/2006 8:24:32 AM)

Fantastic idea.  Learning things to help her, such as massage, or landscaping/gardening or as you mentioned, cooking, will always contribute to her life.  I also enjoy seeing a slave getting out and involved in the BDSM community to develop his knowledge, or perhaps even to share his knowledge and teach others if he is of that level/skill as a submissive.  I *especially* enjoy it when a potential slave takes programming at an event that I'm attending or teaching at, and checks in with me to get recommendations for whose classes would be most beneficial to him.
