I see so many profiles of people talking about others playing games. It's interesting. Back when I was on B.com actively, I couldn't get anyone at all to respond to an email. I never sent form letters, I didn't send one to everyone.. if I saw a profile that appealed to me, I'd write. Didn't get me anywhere and I gave up on the place. I think it's pretty obvious that if people are instantly demanding and have expectations of you, they're already playing a game. Perhaps they don't even realize it, but they are. I'm guessing it isn't too often that 2 complete strangers on the street cross paths and one instantly submits because the other one instantly was the Dom(me). Even if it does happen, they're at least face to face and it's not completely anonymous. Here.. anyone can be bogus. I sometimes wonder if I should feel sorry for the subs that jump at the first sign that someone's paying attention to them or if I should be glad that it won't be long before they're single again and they'll have that ever valuable 'learning experience' under their belt.. assuming there's a learning curve, of course. It's not the most pleasant thought, I'm certain, but if people really can't fathom someone earing respect and not jumping through a hoop right away.. well, they'll have to learn somehow. Just like 2 15 year olds that tell each other they'll make it and get married, they'll show the world because they love each other.. that actually works.. how often? You can't tell them, they're determined. Dom(me) so_and_so tells someone by mail or chat that they're expected to submit right away? That's not being a Top or in control, that's hoping that people fit right into the recently read novel. Sub so_and_so tells someone by mail or chat that they're expected to show they're not a poser, to be in control right away, etc? Heh, if the Dom(me) so instantly wants to control everything in sight and doesn't actually have a connection with that sub, I'd say they're both in for a wild, if brief, ride. Else.. the sub can learn patience, even if it is the hard way. Frankly, I don't think it has anything to do with gender. -Solar
