ok, ok, I knew the second I tried to sneak out a thoughtful response, I'd regret it. I have a close dominant female friend who once told me she gets the willies just pressing the 'submit' button online when filling out a form - especially when shopping online. I think Sandy, Shadehawk, William, and Suz have really hit the nail on the head with their thoughts. I think that the perspective of 'seeking' a female dominant, and a male dominant to be a little different, necessarily because there seem to be a good deal more male submissives in 'search' of fewer female dominants. Men are the more aggressive in 'seeking' a companion then women. I recommend to Domme's who are flooded with mail to a) make their criteria very specific in terms of what initial contact requires (appearing to be an application, but helps to alleviate the flyby one liners 'u r hot may i talk 2 u?' or the form letter resume that a male submissive can send to 100 Dommes in roughly 20 minutes, and then expect each Domme to reply with an hour long dissertation to such. I don't cut and paste 'form' letters of inquiries to anyone, I keep my initial contact letters to no more then two friendly paragraphs with a question or two, and expect a reply only if the person is genuniely interested in dialog with me. Personally, I am of the opinion that a submissive interested in me should expect to express her interest. I find that the moment I am 'persuing' a woman, is the very moment I am no longer capable of controlling that woman. Emotions and vanilla interests should draw her to me equally as well as her 'natural' submissive tendencies, and without the whole package, I'm simply not interested. Sherri, I will disagree with terming 'submission' in terms of setting a time limit, for a scene or otherwise. I do agree that one may 'bottom' for a specific period of time, but the natural interaction between people, in terms of submission and dominance, I don't think -can- be given a time clock. I don't confuse dominance, with dominating; the former is a quality or trait, the latter is the actual act of dominating. I can actively endeavor to dominate a woman, but if she is not receptive to my 'overatures' then I'll fail, and probably make a fool of myself. I would find a woman who states she can submit for a 'trial period' to be suspect - though, certainly we all grow and learn through experiences. In the end, there are slaves who wish to view their submission as a gift. There are men who view it the same, and 'court' that gift (I've seen D/s chat rooms based on King Arthur's Camelot to this effect) and I've seen the other spectrum. In the end, again, look past the application, look past the D/s and BDSM labels if you're looking for a relationship, and you'll have more luck finding someone who compliments 'you' as a person, rather then someone to compliment 'you' as a Dom/me/S/switch/sub/slave/kinked/curious/gay/les/bi/straight/clueless Stephan
