Isn't everyone (or most everyone) a poser in the eyes of someone who expects "auto-submission" if they're not willing to do so?
Whats going on in the heads of the men (and women) who demand that from the beginning?

Being a Dom(me) isn't about power tripping, its about establishing a relationship with someone and nurturing it... in my opinion...
Everyone is a poser in someone's eyes, period. Reputation is subject to interpretation, interpretation subject to opinions and opinions, of course, are very subjective. :)
I tend to not be able to stomach blow hards long enough to pick their brain, so I can't comment much on what they're thinking. I imagine that some people are just self absorbed, some have fantasies that don't translate well to "reality" (or at least anywhere outside of their head), some are domineering or manipulative jerks, and I'm sure some find some degree of success with their tactics... eventually. If nine of ten times (or whatever odds) the person gets a negative response... but that one time they get a hit, that's generally enough to reinforce it. There are some people that really do believe that they deserve whatever they demand and have a sense of entitlement.
In my experience, the people that talk the most and boast the loudest tend to have the least to legitimately say. There's a marked difference between being confident and egotistical (for the record, I fully admit that I'm an arrogant little bastard). I tend to not only take what people that feel the need to blow hard, judge and accuse others not only with a grain of salt, but I bury them in it. [;)]
Many people just have a very narrow frame of mind. If you don't fit their idea of what they want, clearly, there's something wrong with you. It can't possibly that their expectations of you might be off, nope, you're just not real because you aren't compatible with them. Their way, of course, is the One Twue Way.
