This may be the confidence speaking, but I'm perfectly okay with rejection. If someone tells me they are not interested or that I'm not their type, I move on. If I get no reply to a simple "Hey," I move on. To me, it's okay. I know that not everyone in the world is going to like me or fall madly in love with me. Now I need to clarify, rejection does not equal being ostracized. Being ostracized is unbelievably painful, and I don't wish that on anyone. However, if it's just one or two people here or there (and not a whole community), I do not take it to heart.
That being said, I do not understand some of the Doms on this site. The subs will know which ones I am talking about. The ones that send 15 messages are all entitled, "submit to me" or the ones that write "looking for online fun ;)". Sometimes I'll be surprised with paragraphs upon paragraphs that have been copied and pasted from one sub to another. Do they not realize we talk to each other? But my favorite is "Are you still there? You never respond".
Well, of course, I don't dummy. I say right in my bio, "Right now, I'm just looking for a community, but I'm always down to chat." Meaning I'm not looking to "submit", I'm not looking for "online fun", and no, I won't respond because I know exactly what you're trying to do. If you want to chat, maybe ask some questions? Or tell me about yourself. Because frankly, I'm not particularly eager to talk to people who only have one thing on their minds. Maybe I'm asking for too much, but I like people to be complex and not so one dimensional. I mean, seriously, you're a person, not a fictionalized rom-com character.
In the meantime, please don't get upset with me for your unwillingness to read my profile. When I am looking for a Dom, I will say, and I will be more than happy to chat about being a great match. But if I'm not ready... so why are you pushing?
