In my line of work we have what we call GWC's
It stands for GUYS WITH CAMERAS
as opposed to real photographers.
Real Photographers are professionals
They take time to hone their craft
Build their reputations, get respect for the work that they do.
It's a given as far as I'm concerned that ALL MEN are pervs
So All Male Photographers are too, sometimes more so because of the relationship that occurs through the lens between he and his model or muse.
Professionalism and mutual respect usually are at the forefront of shoots
and the perviness stays in the mind.
A GWC is just a perv with no talent, no skill, no professionalism and eventually a bad reputation. A GWC lurks and finds young girls to take pics of in hopes to get her to take her blouse off and get a glimpse of her tits, take pictures and jerk off to them. They usually get away with it because the young model doesn't know any better and is trying to build her book and experience. In My line of work we hate GWC's because they fuck it up for good photographers and they are sometimes actually quite threatening to young girls.
Collarme has what I would consider a similar situation with wannabe Doms. With profiles listing them as experts in all sorts of things, but they are basically here just jerking off.
The danger of this is that a submissive cannot know until she has experienced someone with a phony wannabe Dom profile. When there is no experience and claims that they are, there is the spiral effect that it has on it's victim, other respectable, responsible Doms, and the entire BDSM community. It basically upsets the whole applecart. To say you have experience in this is seriously harmful if you do not. D/s is all about TRUST and that is the true beauty in it. I personally have always despised liars but they are part of life. It just ruins it for everyone else if you're walking around with a flogger in your hand and some handcuffs saying your a Dom and you don't have a freaking clue what that means or the responsibility it entails.
I'm actually writing this for submissives looking, to be aware that just because it may look like a Dom, I believe there are more fakes on here than real, which means you are perhaps just gonna find a Dude with a whip (Maybe we should coin them DWW's) that really is just a fucked up dude that likes to abuse.
For the Real Dom's, We all on here thank You for being real and helping others along. It seems that most of you help and look out for the underdog, educating and even mentoring serious inquires into the lifestyle. There are some real on here for sure, but I'd surmise to guess that a good 75% are just DWW's. Be careful out there. Because of the nature of this lifestyle it can be very dangerous emotionally as well as physically. A lot of people are just fucked up. Always remember that.
