An Endless Tirade (20)

1. Have you ever been to Littlehampton amusements ? 2. I wonder what Venice is like in deep winter ? 3. Is humanity improving or getting worse as technology becomes all pervasive ?

Wouldn't it be smart to make the sticky stuff on envelopes taste like chocolate?
Why do dogs sniff other dog's bottoms to say hello, why don't they just bark in their face or something?
How do they get the air inside the bubble wrap?

It is funny that you draw attention to this - I always get My webslaves talking about life - it is a prerequisite that they do so. It appears that few are capable of doing so, but with those that do I have very satisfying relationships. The extent of this inability to communicate is that I have one from eleven webslaves doing their ic blog as My scribe is the only one capable of doing so! Sad.

1. Now that you mention it.. no I haven't 2. Cold! 3. What is humanity?

I've got so disillusioned with "same old, same old" that I rarely log into chat programs any longer except to talk to people I already know.

Sad innit?

I don't think you've made a fair complaint. There are forums and groups all over the internet where the major talking point is the thing that brought those people together. Here, it happens to be BDSM. That's the baseline point of mutual interest, so it's bound to be something that people are conscious of when starting conversation.

Plus, there's nothing to stop you from turning the subject of conversation yourself. With a handle like 'violently' and nothing on your profile which is outside of BDSM except for a link to your favourite author, there isn't much to go on. Someone might harp on about BDSM, but you don't have to reciprocate - if you want to talk about music, just start doing so.

I think there's a bit of an issue with the numbers: ie hundreds of male subs are vying for the attention of dozens of Dommes. I understand that sifting through the memos and following up various conversations must be time consuming. But there are a few Dommes on here who I basically stopped memoing because their 'conversation' consisted of short, barely coherent statements. I memo'd a local Domme, friendly stuff, asked if she knew about Kinks at Pinks. She replied with four words: 'I know it, intimately...' Ooo-kay! That's just silly. But its not an unusual response from an IC Domme.

And there's a lot of misconstruing as well. I've had responses that could only show one of two things: 1) my well crafted memo (after reading profile and weblogs to check what kind of person this is) has been skim-read, or 2) the recipient genuinely didn't understand what I was saying. These are not two options that are conducive to intelligent conversation. Again, you'll get a 'nah' response from the genuinely intelligent. I've been out with some real slow women, and it gets tired awful fast. If I suspect dim wittedness in a Domme, there's no point in trying to carry a conversation with them.

The other thing carries as well - people only talk to you because you're a Mistress... Way back when, I thought I'd use IC to link up with other subs for going out and stuff. One or two were great, but I got a fair portion of, basically, snotty disinterested responses. So you can turn that on its head as well - some people won't talk to me because I'm a sub. Which is worse? In fact, the ONLY time I've been memo'd by subs is when they've googled the name of a charlatan that I flagged up in my blogs, read it, and given thanks that I wrote it. Actually, that does give me a bit of 'warm & fuzzy' because its nice to help people, and they're invariably pleasant guys.

I think there are loads of people on IC capable of talking on a multitude of subjects. It's understandable that they start off on safe ground, but if you're never getting past it with them, then you must be, in some way, encouraging them to stay on it.

"Sometimes, McCleoud, the sharpest blade is never enough."

Open your email and its the same Open a chat and its the same.

Today it's about inertia. I just didn't want to be the one steering the conversation....

Morever here's another one. Someone thinks its ok to say to me

" I like sluts, I don't want to bother with nice girls" and I say "Well please don't bother with me then, because I really think I'm nice!"

and it's that sort of thing on and on and on and on and on

Edit to add : I don't call myself Mistress and rather insist that other people don't either. It does happen of course and I don't really take exception to it when it does (except when it really shouldn't!) If anything maybe this weblog is about me being tired of being projected on... but you do make some salient points.. maybe my write up profile needs a rethink...
