couldn't agree more, when I first went looking, it was online for the most part. Wasn't until I got involved in my local group that I found that "hey wow! there are LOTS of young people!"

Also if you are new to the 'online-scene' you'll realize that lots and lots of people will contact you... on this site I'll politely decline, on a site like collarme, most subs will just ignore requests they aren't interested in because I found that a lot of these people respond with hostility and I'm going on a tangent here.

I also found that a lot of people say that 'young Dom/mes don't exist or don't know what they are doing' and it was something I really sorta believed until I got in touch with my local scene...

You see, they're kinda 'old school' around here and all the 'new' Dom/mes learn by spending time as a sub with the more experienced Dom/mes. I quote "it's the best way to learn" and watching people and how they interact etc. really gives good insight to someone's play style.

With my local scene, there wasn't any stigma with the 'younger crowd' ... it was 'unfamiliar faces' that people were more worried about and hey, you go to munches, you go to events etc. and they WILL get to know you.

I do like fetlife, actually my local group are all on there, and at munches it's easier to refer to each other by screen-names because hey, we go online every day but munches are once a week.
