So, how do you spot a submissive male? I've been surprised by the few men who have "outed" themselves to me. Some, in particular, I never would have guessed. I have great "gaydar", but I guess my "subdar" is not developed yet. Any thougts?
that is an excellent thought. it is difficult for many of us to identity dominant / submissive traits - at least during brief meetings in typical social surroundings. sometimes a comment or gesture is totally misunderstood, or so unclear that its easy to misunderstand. things would be so much simpler if there was some way to quickly identify a person's intent or inclination.
I agree! Let's start a movement where we all wear a symbol of some kind. It could be made into jewelry (or even tattooed on) and other things that would be subtle, but clear to those in the know. Two signs that are similar in some way; one for doms and one for subs.
I'm not sure my post went through so I'll try again... I know there's the site www.slaveregister.com where slaves and owners register themselves for anyone to see and they have barcodes for each slave. And they also have symbols representing owned and unowned people and owners at http://www.cafepress.com/slaveregister/1743036

I'm still learning my way around the moderation of this board - but your two posts were flagged as "spam" and the forum asked me to manually approve them. I imagine it is because they included links. So I went ahead and approved them.
I'm going to look at the settings and see if I can dial it back. I had my web designer find me a message board with pretty active spam controls because my last attempt at forums had them overrunn with "spam bots" that create fake messages so fast you can't delete them.
Thanks for bearing with me all!

I've always relied on gut feelings about a man. Generally if I find him attractive in a "want to dominate him" kind of way, I'll insert some bdsm innuendo into flirtation and see if he bites. If he doesn't, I might try once more, and if by then he doesn't respond and flirt back about it, I generally drop it and move on.
In flirty conversation, it's almost always easy to find some double meaning in a word, a reference to "bad boys" or "needing spankings," or "don't make me get my paddle," or referring to something the man is doing by saying, "Good boy."
If I am in a particularly femdommish mood and wearing suggestive boots (which are also fashionable, not too wild, but could be seen as borderline dominatrixwear), and a man says, "Nice boots!" I may say, "Thanks! They go great with my whips and chains." Now it's a joke, I could say, but I can usually tell by his reaction if he's intrigued or not. A man might say, "In my dreams!" or something.
The challenge isn't necessarily finding a guy willing to engage in BDSM; the challenge is differentiating between the casual "Hey wow, cool, tie me up and give me a blow job, I like kink!" and a man who is deeply submissive. That comes later once I've established that he's genuinely interested in knowing more about my dominant side.

understood about the need to differentiate between guys who really aren't submissive and just looking for a new way into Your panties. but going back to Yeeska's point, maybe there is a way to indicate 'submissive' or 'dominant' without a lot of trouble. Akasha's approach of listening to replies is excellent, but might not work so well for people less experienced in femdom techniques than She is - or in a less highly charged social situation. if i would reveal something a little unusual - like wearing an anklet and letting a woman have a glimpse of it for example... could something like that ever work as a signal? its unusual enough that most macho guys wouldn't do it, yet it isn't totally embarrassing for the guy either.
yes - i think that has to be the way it would work. i would rather see some "hearts" and "jewels" on the anklet rather that than a simple "rope" for example. i think the message has to be sent - i'm sure You know what i mean...
i've always had fantasys about meeting a Dominant Woman in a public setting. Just it never seemed to materialize. i guess i didn't go out specifically searching for a Fem Dom every time i went somewhere; just it happens to be something that i think about. What if..... etc... But i've never met any Woman who even really gave off that vibe. Maybe much of the Dominant/submissive interaction is saved more for private and role playing ect... idk. Then again, maybe most Dominant Women aren't looking for a submissive man in public so as a result They don't give off any vibe due to the fact They are Dominant already and aren't really looking? Just Curious.
I met my sub in my anatomy class. Buy at the time we began our friendship, It was unbeknownst to me that he was a full blown sub. I didnt found out until our first date. He flat out told me he was in to femdom.
