ORIGINAL: GaPhoto What about the girls in their 20s who are still in college and the like? Zack Well I'm in my 20s (but not in college). Unfortunately the onus of being experienced and knowledgeable generally falls upon the dominant, because he's the "leader." An inexperienced sub just has to do what she's told in order to be safe...but an inexperienced dominant can be an accident waiting to happen. Kudos to you for being involved locally and trying to train with your mentors... I bet you'll be very very good when you're 30! It takes a lot of life experience to become a good leader. You may be doing very well *for your age* but I'd bet you'll be a much better dominant in 20yrs than you are today! Let me give you an analogy. I have horses. Lets say I have a colt that needs broke. Joe next door says he is a born natural with colts, and has been training with every name brand trainer in the country (John Lyons, Clinton Anderson, Pat Parelli, etc.) Let's say he's 20 and being training horses for 5yrs.. Now let's say Bob down the road is 60yrs old and been breaking 50 colts a year since he was 15yrs old Guess who I'm sending my horse too? The person with more real world experience! It's the same when looking for a dominant. I want my dominant to be my "better" in every way or else I can't look up to him. He has to be more financially stable than I am (and I'm pretty darn stable), be smarter than me (IMO), be more knowledgeable, have better common sense, etc. I simply don't trust a 20yr old to have those things. I remember being 20 and I've changed SOOOO much in the last 4yrs. I would expect that you will do the same as you find yourself. I want someone who has completed that "growing up" process. Plus, most 20yr olds aren't ready to settle down and get married (some THINK they are, but most aren't.) ETA: I'm also looking for a daddy/girl dynamic and calling a 20yr old guy daddy just doesn't work for me!
