Yeah I guess absolute obedience isn't technically a 'doormat' but geez it sounds a bit that way to me. I was thinking more of a sub who says yes to everything right from day one.

My own personal preference is for a little brattiness & lots of intelligence to keep me on my toes I guess. It's the challenge that keeps it interesting.

Having thought about this thread, I'd have to confess I do like my girl to do what I want though. Absolute obedience might be stretching it, but it's important to be serious.
