I read this with interest, but...

I'm *not* disagreeing with the information, but to me personally, it is too 'cookie-cutter'.

I find those I respond to aren't the ones who do it 'all right', but those I perceive to be 'authentic'.
Not those 'acting Dominant' but those who actually are interested in and aware of the dynamics.

Again, your miles may vary.

And then, when it comes to the moment when the chemistry is right, and the 'talks have been talked' some Dome just don't know how to 'close the deal'.
They can say all the right things to bring the subbie to her knees, but lack the knowledge of 'taking'.

It isn't something I can write down in an A,B,C way. Rather an innate knowledge of how to manage people.

To me, *that* is the x-factor which makes me sit up and take notice...
