Yes, as does bull...not the dynamic we're looking for...and my experience has been that they are unable to not bring that persona to the table.

I just think profiles that say "I'm very dom" means they like been on top during sex and have seen it on a few other profiles

Purely for my interest, is that because of experience or is it the connotation.

I suppose I'm trying to establish what the word Dom means to people and is that a true reflection from experience, or just a reaction to the word.

In your profile I think it's very much in context and would only put us off because A is what people call an alpha male and it could cause sparks. I think it explains how he is very well.

Dom is another one of those labels which is wide open to interpretation. Just like when someone says they're into BDSM but don't explain what they mean. Are they talking about a little light slapping or being strung upside down and severely beaten.

Which is why we tend to avoid profiles using terms of this kind.

I think the term dom means different things to different people...

However, the 50 shades of grey wannabee doms that literally spanked a girls arse and though 'I like that, I'll be a dom' is fucking irritating.

To be a true dom, you need a submissive / slave / puppy / brat etc... There needs to be an agreement in place, a trust built and first and foremost, a dom should not take for granted that they can do what they like with any girl that wants to play and the same goes for fendoms in reverse.

It's a dangerous minefield. I'm a switch, I can do both but I prefer G to top and me to bottom. Basically meaning I like her to be in control.

Would we contact a dynamic as such, yes. Probably. But come hell or high water, we would give them the Spanish inquisition beforehand.

I think when you see a girls profile saying something like "seeks dom male" puts men off because I for one wouldn't know how to live up to that really, I'm just little old me. I think people should expand a bit and give an explanation about what they want from a dom or bull. I'd be happy to slap the odd arse and take the lead but I'm not into the leather clad whips and chains scenario but that's just me

Someone who is honest. Kudos to you sir!

Being a dom is a bloody hard thing. And many of the 'doms' here would be hardly interested in proper aftercare, which kind of proves my original post.

I am generalising though. This isn't always the case an I am sure some here are real and true. I just wonder where the crossover is between here and another well known kink site.

I briefly brought up aftercare in another thread a couple days ago.

I often look at these type of threads and wonder at why people automatically move to extremes. Every distribution curve has higher and lower levels and I expect the binomial distribution of this way of thinking will be the same.

There are a number of motives behind me asking and many thanks to those how have responded so far.

Honest answer from her (Nina), your avatar does have quite submissive look to it and you also seem to be wearing a collar.

At this point their brain has moved south and, like so many on here, they don't read any of the text in your profile so send their missive over

Definitely this for us but I would see that as a positive as we wouldn't be what they wanted either.

That said, I would also expect them to have an alternate profile on the other site if they really knew what they were doing anyway

There was an interesting article posted on here a few weeks ago about Dom's and the wannabes that surround that area, how it can be a dangerous minefield for people and to beware the 'Mr grays' that think it means a rough fuck and to do what they want.

Unfortunately I think the label has attracted a negative stigma from these plastic doms, so for me I'd be very cautious around people claiming that

I get the odd guy message me, making a big announcement of being 'dom'. Just because I'm TG, it doesn't mean I'm sub or anything. To me, sub is something in Das Boot. I've found that the more someone bigs up being dom, the more plastic they are with it. The genuine ones don't seem to feel the need to make a big thing of it.

Mainly because the kinda guys who think they are "doms" but actually have no experience/idea are the same ones who can't read. Rather like the bi/gay guys who message me asking to suck my cock because they like to suck straight men!

Guess what...no guy has EVER sucked of a straight guy...

If people actually read profiles...and responded (or not) appropriately then half or more of the gripes on this site would disappear over night.

I don't recall and real Doms contacting me or using the word on their profiles/as usernames. Just the guys who think it means bossing a woman around, being rough and expecting me to respond to their ridiculous messages where they tell me what they intend to do "to" me, etc. and that such a relationship, "relationship" or dynamic is something that is forced on me as the woman. *insert major eyeroll here.

I spent time on the other site, however struggled with it. One it was so damned difficult to navigate and Two, so damned serious.

I removed the not looking for dominant from my profile and got less. Am thinking maybe they just search for the keyword 'dominant' then didn't bother reading our profiles?

But yeah i don't like so block them as well, kind of scared of them but it probably is just they did the above and aren't trying to force dommes to submit or anything...if you give them a chance then you'll never know but i don't want to take that risk.

Just a thought around if it held negative connotations."

I wouldn't be interested in someone claiming to be Dom or a bull or whatever. Tried meeting a few and all of them were dumb ass wannabes.

Tried Dom sessions with quite a few males and females in clubs and found the same.

Experience varies massively. I've found an experienced Dom will spot my potential a mile off.

So in answer to your question; a claim on a profile would put me off. Yes.

It kinda does even though I've been in a genuine d/s relationship, the reason being is that dynamic takes time to build and huge amount of trust. I've had guys who were my type messaging me suggesting the things that me and my ex used to do and I've been wary because I don't even know the person.

I don't think d/s is something that's compatible with swinging or casual meets. It's something way deeper than that.

Mmm I think that the term Dom seems to be generalised into "one size fit all" mentality, hence the bad connotation.

This form of interaction, to me, involve two people, where the attention is focused their needs, and that's not the Dom instant gratification.

Acuity around the "dance' is imperative as the dance changes with mood and personality and yes, it needs to be built.

Well to me anyway.

If you want to be dominant, you don't want to meet people that aren't into domination. Think it's probably wise to offer an explanation of the extent to which you want to dominate. My profile makes it clear I'm dominant, but I'm not into anything extreme, just taking control, works for me

Hey, thanks for the feedback.

I don't want my preference to get in the way of Sue's exploration, hence the question.

Modified the profile, a little.

Mirror marketing is not a very good trait

"I get the odd guy message me, making a big announcement of being 'dom'. Just because I'm TG, it doesn't mean I'm sub or anything. To me, sub is something in Das Boot. I've found that the more someone bigs up being dom, the more plastic they are with it. The genuine ones don't seem to feel the need to make a big thing of it. "

To be honest I think because I've put Im Domme a lot of guys seem to like it. Shame I'm not looking for them generally.

"Puts me off and makes me do an eyeroll

I don't recall and real Doms contacting me or using the word on their profiles/as usernames. Just the guys who think it means bossing a woman around, being rough and expecting me to respond to their ridiculous messages where they tell me what they intend to do "to" me, etc. and that such a relationship, "relationship" or dynamic is something that is forced on me as the woman. *insert major eyeroll here.

Could of course be just my experience."

Quoting my own quote but I'm not always put off by genuinely dominant guys. Just the ones I previously described who claim to be from the off. Yes, there is a difference - in my book anyway

"I am very submissive to the right person, but I will not sub to anyone off fab.

Its about trust, and a special relationship.

My fab meets are equal.

My submission is a very special gift that resides with someone I trust implicitly, that I respect and have a deep fondness for. "

this sums up exactly how I feel. Avoid anyone who declares dom and instantly block those who decide to message saying they'll dominate me/use me like the slut I am etc.
