ORIGINAL: Vendaval Body language, eye contact, mannerisms, speech patterns, and observing how they interact with others are all clues that can indicate submissive traits. Hello, All of these are usually situational. I have observed people who may be completely submissive to their owner exhibit these behaviors when in that situation, only to see them behave completely differently in different situations. So are dominance and submission "traits" or are they simply adaptive behaviors that people exhibit in certain situations, with some situations being more comfortable to them than others? Be well, Peggy I used to think so too... Until one day, while looking at the wall of pictures at my mother's house, my Master pointed out something to me. My high school senior picture was on the wall next to my sister's. He just tsked and said "those poor boys at your school." I didn't have a clue what he was talking about. He said "It's all right there...and I bet they never saw a thing." When asked, he said "Look at your eyes...it's right there in your eyes...you were who you are back then and no one noticed or cared. You didn't even realize it yet. Yep...I'd have noticed you right away" And that's when I compared the eyes in my senior picture to my sister's eyes in hers. I don't know how to put into words what I saw, but it was there - and I could see it clearly. There was this... softening...um... almost .. pleading look in them - to be understood maybe? I don't know...all I know is that when he pointed it out, I could clearly see what he was seeing and for the most part, have been able to pick it out since then when I see that same look in other women. And then, I've watched my prediction be proven true with nothing done on my part other than being observant. It's kind of a game I play with myself (and him) when meeting new people. Even if it's all a bunch of hooey, it seems - so far - to largely hold true. And behaving differently in different situations is not the same thing as being or not being submissive. juliet
