In my experience....

I've found that even male Doms message me from time to time wanting to switch. They end up admitting that they feel more comfortable with a switch as well.

Also I only talk to people who are interested in only actually submitting. So, I haven't encountered this idea of scripting so much.

What I think is the culprit to this phenomena?

I think it's two fold. People I talk to aren't to keen on being "found out" and consider this part of them to be very *very* private and aren't keen on setting up even an online persona. Though some will get themselves out there via more profile driven websites they don't make it a point to share their opinions.

I also think (and this may get me in trouble) that a lot of men aren't communicators. Going into a forum is a very social communication type thing and it's simply not what appeals to men. Though there are of course exceptions to this. I think that's a factor.
