Stop me if this is too much of a tangent. But reading thuogh the personals, it is clear to me that the expectation is among the majority of sub are looking for the dom to be the more experienced half of the operation. To be a mentor figure. Many perhaps looking for somebody more intrusive and invasive than I would nessarybe comfortable being.
Yet even so, I cannot really identify as a sub. As an outsider whose kink is more towards a dominat role than a submissive one I'm wondering exactly how this works. As to be an experienced Dom you presumambly have to of gained experience from somewhere.
Or is everyone on the scene supposed to do some kind of 'aprenticeship' as a Sub before proving themselves 'experienced' in a dominant role?
This is still very new to me....
Unfortunately, before the critical staffing situations we have had for a while, as exacerbated by COVID--- this would be a lot like some high school kid trying to get their first ever job.
--------------------------------------
Boss Man: "Sorry, kid, we're looking for someone with experience."
Kid: "But this would be my first job, how else can I get experience?"
Boss man shrugs "Sorry, I Don't know what to tell you, but thanks for your interest in our company. Good luck out there."
--------------------------------------
Of course now that's changed.
Boss Man: "When can you start?"
Kid (worker shortage,; got balls now): "How much will you pay? I expect no less than $15/hour to start."
Boss man: "We are on a tight budget but I think I can get you $12.50, maybe $13
Kid: "Kiss my ass."

But "y'all"get the point. Whether new to a role in BDSM or looking to flip your first burger there are a wide range of preferences and expectations out there with regard to how "experienced" one is and although it sucks the proverbial bag, it's all part of the fun of both.

Now, my 2 cents were immeasurably helpful---- sayeth no one ever.
Good luck and stick with it.
