The trouble with the statement is that 9 times out of 10 it is utter BS. Many men, sadly, will tell you what you want to hear until they get what they want... and then drop you like a stone. Actions speak far louder than words, if someone doesn't approach you with respect and sensitivity, then Read more… they don't have the first clue what they are talking about.

Oh and your three 'problems' are utter nonsense.

Why on earth should someone share their body with people they don't connect with? Why not keep that kind of thing back until you 'click'. If some wants to share themselves with everyone that's fine, but it's a personal choice.
Your comment seems like it's from someone who just wants to see naked Read more… pictures, without actually making that link with someone.

In my opinion you would be best to go away and teach yourself to be more confident, more authoritative and more in control of yourself BEFORE even attempting to immerse yourself into this lifestyle... assuming you want to portray yourself as a Dom. You need to be somewhat self assured (without Read more… being a dick) and be in control of yourself, before you can ever expect someone else to put themselves into your hands.

If you're not naturally dominant that's quite a difficult thing to change. Your profile lists you as Submissive... I know some people like to switch, but in my experience you have a natural leaning on way or the other (I know I'm generalising a little here).

Beautifully written... and so very true.

If I may, DDLG has no reference to a child at all, that is a common misconception... it is referring to a state of mind, a state of well being, more child-like viewpoint. Most definitely not actually being a child.
I find your closing sentence both ill informed, and rather offensive.

For me, being a Daddy Dom is who I am, it's not a role I play, it's my natural state in any walk of life. It's about being a confident, caring, guiding presence in someone's life, someone who can be relied upon to provide a kind, encouraging word when needed. A Daddy should be a rock, solid and Read more… dependable.
Like anything in life, the meanings are open to interpretation, but that's my take on what being Daddy means to me.

When the connection is right and true, both D and S should inspire and encourage each other to greater heights... both learning and developing as they go.

Absolutely beautiful... powerful and passionate.

It's an awful, but all too common tale. Some men don't have the slightest clue what it means to be a Dom, never mind how to be a Daddy, which is a whole different ball game. They confuse control with ***, nurturing with taking advantage.
I hope your horrible and entriely unnecessary experience Read more… doesn't put you off. There are good, responsible, knowledgeable and supportive Doms/Daddy's out there, and I hope one crosses your path very soon, and can help repair the damage done.

And there in is the important difference... between your Dom/Daddy offering and indeed wanting to support you and help you (which I completley agree with), and the previous poster who would EXPECT it. It's the expectation or demand that I find questionable.
