Wannabees

[ElectricBadger]

"If you have to spit out your chewing tobacco before you can be gagged... you might be a redneck as well as a Wannabe"

Beautiful!

[DrkRvn]

You might be a wannabe if you PM a girl in a chat room, start talking all dirty and master like to her without asking questions like are you a sub or more importantly questions like, "Do you have a Master?" or "Would you be interested in playing with me right now"... or maybe you are just rude and annoying.

this has happened too me sooooo many fucking times.... people have no manners sometimes

If I may be allowed to express my own thoughts on beiing a wannabe; her goes:
If you, either dom or sub, do not know the TRUE meaning of the word "RESPECT", you will never be anything but a wannabe.

Thank you for the post Tojo, Laughable, Cryable, Helpfull

Nice one Tojo - how sad to think though that some poeple just wouldn't get the joke.

hiii dear

lol

hiiiiii

Very nice collection.... so simple and so natural. It makes it hard to understand that people (wannabes) actually do all those things, and yet...

I know it's not about a wanna-be, but this thread reminds me of a skit Steve Martin did back in the 80s when he was doing stand up. He said something about meeting some nice people back stage one night. They asked him if he was bi, and since he had taken Spanish back in high school he said yes. Great they said why don't you come to our house after the show, we're having some S&M people over. Great he says, spaniards and mexicans!

If you're a sub that thinks you can tell another sub their Master isn't a true Master because their Master doesn't do the same as yours, you may very will be a wanna-be.
If you're a Master that thinks you can tell another Master he's doing it all wrong because he's not "strict enough" you may very well be a wanna-be.
The list can go on and on can't it.
"I'm more submissive than you"
"My subbie walks on her knees when in my eye-sight, and she never looks me in the eye"
bla bla bla...

If you have ever typed or said "I'm a Dominate", you may be a wannabe.

(you may also need to brush up on the difference between verbs, adjectives and nouns, but i am a grammar snob.)

[Crowheart]

Wow... I can only agree to the things that were said before. It's funny, sad, makes me think...
Last week I met someone who called himself "a true master" who would be "able to break in every slut".
When we met, his first question was how rough he could be with me... if it was okay if he called me bitch... an so on. Wannabe...

[cariad]

At least he asked you...

[Crowheart]

The problem isn't that he asked me. That would have been okay by me. It's a sign of respect I normally would appreciate.
The irony was that he described himself as "the" dom... and then turned out to be an unsure softy XD

[Rhabbi]

These are great Tojo, and in the spirit of Jeff Foxworthy.

Thank you, rose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am so glad someone else out there feels this way too!!
That is the first thing i pick out (well, used to pick out) of the profiles of Masters/ Mistresses who emailed me.... can't put a coherent sentence together? Complete deal-breaker for me.... anyway... thanks again!!

i sometimes want to tell them they should find themselves a very nice "submit".

i am the grammer nazi, after all. The dreaded "how r u?" will also turn me cold in a flash.

Ok...at risk of upsetting people (especially as a newbie) I worry about threads like this. Whilst the initial posts were intended to raise a smile I wonder whether this perpetuates a snobbery that "wannabees" come up against whenever they are making a genuine attempt to enter the scene.

I don’t want to seem like im attacking anyone, but it’s hard enough for people to find a reliable environment to learn and share their thoughts without feeling as though they may be mocked. Sure, some are playing a game and need to be mocked, but others are simply missing the knowledge and experience to enable them to relate to other wannabees and experienced alike

Again, this isn’t an attack...just a concern.

There is a world of difference between a new person and a wannabe. In this sense, we use "wannabe" as someone who puts themselves forth as someone who already is, does not admit their lack of experience.

It is the dishonesty that is looked down upon, not the lack of experience.

[Guest91408]

Thank you for your response...and I agree wholeheartedly with your definition between the two.

I worry simply because the issue of finding an appropriate first base or outlet, whether online or irl, can be daunting and I have lost two good friends because of another boards "closed" nature.

That said, the atmosphere here is far more inviting...*feels drawn in already*

Sorry for hijacking the thread a little.

Oh, and thats a lovely rose...wheres the thorns?

good pointers there Tojo even if they are made as a joke there is lots of truth in them.

[Sir_Russell]

So many great short answers here but a word of caution is in order.

We all started out as wannabees so it is no real shame if you study learn and grow into your version of the real thing, and trust me that take the rest of your life.

Wannabees are dangerous because they don't have any experience but the real danger normally lies in what I call posers/abusers there are only there for causing pain and taking advantage

[Logic1]

Yes I used to be the wannabe for sure. Wanting to explore this world and what is in it. I was very lucky to find a girl that was willing to explore with me, and that lead to me not being a wannabe anymore but, I am still far from an experienced Dom. I guess after another 10 years or so lol.
Experience comes with time and practice like in all things.

Very well put Sir Russell there is a big difference between the dom/sub lifestyle and abuse....

[fallenstar]

some good words said here... i think it Is important the difference between a wannabe and a newbie.. newbies can make the same mistakes, but do so out of pure inexperience.. and then correct them selves as they learn.. wannabes just do what they want and assume they must be right... just my thought..
