I know several "Old Time Dommies" who simply have no interest n mingling in a back stabbing, bitching, flaming crowd (I quote two of them in reference to our local scene). Also too they found as I have, the modern scene (local to me) whilst may be reasonable to mix with, doesn't really want you unless you have your own sub/slave as they appear to want fresh juicy young meat. Probably isn't like that everywhere but we can only speak of the areas we know. As an added thought, it is the same in the Pagan crowd too. I am one of a number of Pagan Old Farts (as in years experience in that scene) who are shunned with the modern young want it and want it now with out being prepared for the years of study and practice under the guidance of elders who have the knowledge and experience. Many have simply closed their door and work or mix with long time friends in the craft. I leave my door open a tad for a genuine student who is prepared to meet my criteria after getting tired of being told when Neets and I attended umpteen Pagan at the Pub or Pagan in the Park meets and get together, that I was too old and wasn't welcome as I was never part of the local (Queensland) scene. This a parallel to what I originally experienced and still experience in the majority of the local BDSM scene.
