[Precisely what I was trying to say. If one wants a relationship, and takes one's Dominant seriously, I don't see how one can make 5000 excuses as to why life is in the way. Life will always be in the way, and if in fact remaining single, doing what one's doing, with one's current boatload of priorities is what one wants, than by all means, remain that way, and don't pretend to be interested in putting in time and effort into forming a relationship, especially one with a fem dominant. ] Depending on the level of submission and expectations from some of these 'way out' posters, life can and does get in the way. How can one be self sufficient, while living in a cage or completely relinquishing control? It's simply not a practical arrangement in the 21st century. I myself do not seek a dominant woman for security or to 'take care of me'. I can take care of myself. I am also not seeking to be financially dominated. I enjoy submitting-- but I'm not keen on slavery. Does this mean I am any less capable of providing a level of happiness to a (genuine) woman who might enjoy my submission and her role as a dominant? Does this imply my understanding/desire of D's is any less authentic than anyone else here? I guess that would depend on the expectations and level of intent of the parties involved. I am not seeking to be 'owned', branded, electrocuted, have my appendages mauled, or subject myself to any extreme physically abusive behavior just to find a dominant woman. In this light, I would rather remain single. I'm really my own person, but do enjoy pleasing and get enjoyment out of making a dominant woman happy (provided she has taken the time to get to know me and my likes as well as sharing her own). I have identified with a need, but it just hasn't consumed me. I have my own thoughts, ideas, desires, and priorities-- it is hoped I can share these with a person who can recognize this, and also understands and nourishes my need to submit. Above all, I am not so 'hard up' that I would need to promise away my identity (nor my limits) to find a dominant woman (I prefer not to set myself up for failure). I suppose you could call me a 'masculine' sub. No matter what type of relationship we settle into, ultimately we seek happiness. A sub may find happiness by submitting, a domme by controlling but ultimately we have to appreciate and respect each other's space in and out of the world of D's to make things work in the long run. I believe it was Dale Carnegie who once wrote in "How to win Friends and Influence People" that 85% of all divorces are due to a lack of appreciation by one of the partners. The pendulum must swing both ways when it comes time, effort and appreciation. At least it would for me. Just my thoughts.
