Well had what I considered a playful “discussion”, if you will, with a Financial Domination Mistress on twitter. Ironically, it started with a compliment. It was probably my fault for thinking out loud again, but you know me. I’ll give the text of the discussion then present my thoughts.
Her: Nighty nite all
Me: Hope you slept well. I’m sure you woke up with lots of new gifts.
Her: RT Hope you slept well. I’m sure you woke up with lots of new gifts. >>Why did you get me something, HA!
Me: LOL you have jokes too. No, but if I ever lose all my confidence, self-esteem, or self-respect, I’ll be sure to let you know.
Her: one doesn’t need to lack confidence, self-esteem or self-respect to give a Woman gifts. On the contrary, it takes balls to… admit that’s what he should do.
Me: Agreed and it takes balls to admit one has a drinking problem and should stop
All perspective.
Her: Hardly comparable.
Me: All perspective. The fact that you don’t agree doesn’t make me wrong.
(Later, even though I know better, I send a peace offering tweet)
Me: you’re still ok by me. Do your thing.
The follow up to that was as expected so I won’t go into it, but here are my thoughts
First, I have NO problem with women who are in this lifestyle. If men want to give them cash, cars, houses just because she tells them and offer nothing in return other than humiliation good for them. I didn’t complain when A-Rod signed the $240M contract either. If you can get it then good for you. I follow her because I do find the whole thing fascinating. She does not follow me because I’m not her slave, am a free thinker, and all she’ll ever get from me is a good healthy debate. I applaud her for knowing what she wants and sticking to it. I’m not going to judge her or anyone else, do what you do, but I’m also free to express my opinion or call it as I see it objectively or at least from my perspective. So this post is about perspective.
The best thing about my perspective is that it is MINE, I’m not always right but I don’t try to be right. More times than not, my goal is not to “win” but rather present a view to allow one to draw an objective conclusion. So here is my perspective.
Financial domination in some ways is similar to the Sugar Daddy relationship. He offers gifts to obtain his object’s “attention”. Of course it goes a bit further as the gentleman’s pleasure is humiliation and the satisfaction that he’s sacrificing for a beautiful lady who is out of his class and he could never be with in real life. If this is the best he can to than it is worth it. Of course I’m summarizing but you get where I’m going. Her response in reference to giving women gifts is both correct and incorrect. While I agree there is nothing weak in giving a woman gifts, they should be given freely, out of care and respect, not because one “tells” me. So pleasing you while you belittle me should be my gratification? Hmm, that’s a difficult pill for me to swallow. Maybe the humiliation is her form of gratitude to him. To me that sounds like an addiction or weakness. Look at it this way. Imagine you had a friend or sibling and they were in a “normal” relationship with someone who they constantly did things for and this person walked all over them? As a friend you’d probably say something. Now I understand these people openly and willingly go into these types of relationships but that does not make them different from my example. Since we don’t know these “losers” as she calls them, we don’t care, which brings me to my second point. If they are losers then they are weak, even if they enjoy this treatment. I’m fine with that too (Score, Nubian).
If I had to put a name to it I’d call it a scam but that would be wrong because these guys know full well what they’re getting into and it is an erotic fantasy. It is a form of addiction, like gambling and if not careful one can get in financial trouble. Again I cannot blame the women because the men seek them out and ask for it. Her “hardly a comparison” comment reveals her Narcissistic view and prevents her from admitting it, much like Casinos that say “well we don’t make them come here”. Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Personally my time is just as valuable so maybe she should send me something, lol.
Feel free to humiliate, degrade and order others, but I guess it’s just the NUBIAN in me, which makes me free, rational, and strong like a king. As such I’m wired to push back, and I guess that is what rubbed her wrong. Since most that approach her either come to be controlled or call her names that are vulgar (not understanding the dynamic between the sub and domme), she can respond. She knows they either love or hate her and for that she has a prepared response. Since I playfully pushed, challenged, but would not cave nor admit she was right I forced her to “walked” away. In her view I’m “too weak to be strong” and allow her dominate me. In my view I’m “too strong to be weak” and will not submit any power until they have earned my respect and trust. I guess I’m just too rational at times and we’re not good for business because we actually think and when you’re thinking, you’re NOT spending money on them.
Luckily it’s a big world and both can co-exist. For the record, I have a very eclectic list of people I follow so hopefully I won’t lose any of you after this. You’re all still cool with me, just know I have been known to give my thoughts on things.
