It may just be a personal preference of mine, and no offense to you personally, but even if I had entered the lifestyle at 18 (I didn't, I was in my 20's) it wouldn't have been with someone who was also 18. There's no way on earth I'd let an 18 year old, or honestly even someone my own age now, dominate me. I go for older and wiser. Maybe that's part of the problem you are butting up against.

And the whole spelling/punctuation thing really helps.
