OH! Crap. . . . more subbies that actually dare to use their brains and think!~
but really. All good comments. rNt, I dont know you very well tho we have chatted and played in the forums. Let me give you my Dom's eye view of your "thinking"
First, anyone who doesn't appreciate a submissive with a well developed sense of self is missing one of the great delights of this lifestyle. A self assured, confident and intelligent submissive should be considered a prize not a problem.
I want to be associated with someone who can callenge me mentally as well as physically. As many of you have heard me say, a relationship based solely on BDSM is doomed in my opinion. Unless you have all the other things necessary for a long term relationship, you cannot build a successful long term relationship with a BDSM component.
Hence, I want a submissive with widely developed interests, a keen mind who can carry on a conversation, who has enough self assurance and self confidence to talk to me, to suggest, to ask, to question, to challenge and at times, even to defy when there is a justifiable reason.
Ok. . pushing soap box under the table.
