To put the thigh high boot firmly on the other foot though, how many times do we see threads or hear dominatrices casually say 'Oh I'll just get a subbyboy to clear my garden/drive me somewhere/clean my house/decorate my home/help me move/fix my computer etc. Not their own sub but any suitably endowed/skilled generic submissive bloke. A dominatrix has a task that needs doing, she doesn't want to pay the going rate so she gets a malesub to do it, any sub will do so long as they can perform the function. Their personality doesn't matter but their willingness and ability to do something for the dominatrix is all that actually counts. Isn't this also objectification and what this blog has been complaining about? What is a Caracal? | ||

Of course I am, you have dommely pictures to ogle, what more could any man want Far be it from me to correct a superior dommely one, if you decree that's the way it will be spelt from now on, so shall it be. Besides, "Heals have more of my favourite things" Advert circa "some years ago" http://www.heals.co.uk/ So.. "If a car you bought on a very cheap deal, while driving along breaks a wheel, you get out to examine it and break a heel, you vent your angst by giving your slave wheals, although time will heal wheals, it won't heal heels,
or wheels that you bought in bargain deals." I know, I'm being silly, I'll stop. Edited 12 Feb 10, 8:33 PM by Trussedworthy | ||

Perhaps a little too much info, probably won't get many memo's saying "we have everything in common", but when it comes to short you seem to have that one covered. | ||

Actually, having said that I thought I'd better go and check (I know it's a sub's duty to check every domme's profile and send 10 memos a day, apologies for slacking there Seeing your "Trample the malcontents!" photo from Pedestal jogged my memory, I was there watching you pose for those pics! (as were some other ICers I did get to know, it's a small world we inhabit).
May even have said hello but I had no idea who you were at the time, (well that and you looked scary) Maybe next time, when you're not looking too busy of course.. Edited 12 Feb 10, 8:32 PM by Trussedworthy | ||

And what do others think of men who send you a first memo asking to take you out to lunch? I've lost count of the times I've replied trying not to hurt feelings, because it's a generous offer no matter what I think about it deep inside (more of that later)*. But where is the appeal of spending one or two hours with a perfect stranger, only to find out that have nothing in common? Stilted conversation, nerves, general awkwardness, no fun... and the bill is on you.
*More of that now: My suspicion is that these people think that by inviting you to lunch, they are buying you to a certain extent, and once the bill has been paid, you should feel obliged to pay them back in some form. And since I hear you are a Dominand lady, how about a bit of slap and tickle to this subbie who was soooo generous with you, Mithtweth?

Boys are stupid, but at least sub boys don't mind when you throw rocks at them. | ||

You're obviously both very sociable ladies who get out to a lot of events thus giving people alternative opportunities to meet you. In the case of someone who never goes out to events maybe it's a more appropriate approach to take to arrange a first meeting. Personally I'd like to meet or least talk online in depth to someone before asking them to lunch or dinner, certainly not something to be posed in an introductory memo. I wouldn't feel they're obliged to give anything in return should they accept though, apart from maybe an hour or so of pleasant conversation. With regard to context though, I'm guessing it's likely that anyone who sends out invitations in first memos to people based entirely upon what's written in an online profile, whether kinky or on 'nilla dating sites, may have hopes you'll be "game" for more if you readily accept. | ||

For me the starting point for any relationship after an initial spark, is establishing common interests and values as well as a shared sense of humour and complicity. I wouldn't be able to submit to someone I didn't enjoy and respect as a person, and that obviously works both ways. I write to Dommes who are seeking what I might be able to provide and also who say enough to indicate whether we might have something in common as people.

sometimes the phrase "damned if you do, damned if you don't" springs to mind, I must be too simplistic as there seems to be a tendency to overcomplicate / analyse things hey ho
