My previous boyfriend/submissive met when we were 19, though an online game. We started dating about a year later, when we were both attending the same college, and were together for 5 years. Most of the other guys I've dated have also been into video games, roleplaying games, and such. When I was looking a few months ago, I prefered men who were within about 10 years of my age. I did go on a couple of dates with guys in the 21-25 range, and a couple more who were over 45, but they had to make more of an effort. Under 21 just seemed a bit too young - it's nice having the option of going to clubs and such together, and I prefered that they weren't still living with their parents, etc. I think it's perfectly reasonable to want someone you're attracted to, have chemistry with, share interests/hobbies with, get along with each others' friends, etc. My Master and I are very compatible in those areas, and I found him here. I found my female submissive playpartner through a local discussion group, even more easily! We already knew each other for a few months before we started playing, and it's great to be able to discuss stuff besides kink with her (my Master, her family, work, hobbies, etc.). I wouldn't want someone who was just a "warm body" to beat on/get thwacked by! I think it *is* harder for men to find what they're looking for here, since there are more "female" fakes/scammers, judging from posts I've read. However, it's tough for women as well, and there are lots of guys who just want kinky play and sex, not a relationship, or who have unrealistic expectations, or whatever. If you aren't willing to put any effort in, stay up a bit late occasionally, take the initiative to contact potential partners, you deserve to be alone. Of course, even doing your best in all of those areas doesn't guarantee instant results, so try to be patient.
