When a promise is made, keep it.  Apologies, if sincere, are accepted.  Otherwise they're pretty much meaningless.

It's not a good idea to say "Hello, I need a place to live" in your first meeting.

Interesting day today.  Friend of mine, also in the lifestyle, wonders what is wrong with honesty.  He's very picky, patient and intelligent.  One possible sub told him "You were never there for me" despite his best efforts to get close to her.  She also says she's been hurt by malicious and lying doms after she has encounters with them.  Interestingly enough, this 'possible sub' seems to have an affinity for lies herself.  I looked at his account and what do I see, tons of "Deleted unread" emails to her.  She denied she ever deleted them and is whining again about another lying dom. 

He does have a point.  There are tons of liars on a free site and they seemingly reap the benefits of this lifestyle through malice and no regret.  Yet when he's honest and forthcoming, nothing.  He is met with regret and shame.

Interesting.

There are several titles submissives in the lifestyle prefer.  Some I won't mention, however the titles of Submissive and/or Slave are earned.  As such, I feel each should be viewed with reverence as there are many who work hard to uphold various aspects of the lifestyle because of their desire to please.  My journey has shown me how the ignorance and indifference of others tarnish the reputation and integrity many of us in the lifestyle strive to maintain.  Seemingly endless Sociopaths on both sides of the spectrum choose to use their titles for their own selfish endeavors and many for monetary gain.  Others, the posers, seem to exist in some sick fantasy world incapable of generating even the slightest bit of creativity, relying on their own predatory instincts to manipulate both men and women.

I have been lucky, thus far, that my own instincts have taught me the value of patience and temperance which, in turn, have allowed me to weed out many fakes and build some wonderful friendships.  There is still  much to learn about the lifestyle and I hope this entry serves as a beacon to those who true to the lifestyle and a warning to those who are not. 

There are so many fakes on this site, it's almost mindboggling.  As a result, I have developed a very low tolerance for BS and have become fairly adept at weeding them out.  There are instances, however, where one does slip through the cracks.  C'est la vie.  Eventually their dishonesty is their own undoing.
