I fucking hate pet/flirty names and people who think that can pet/scritch/touch an unknown puppy without permission.
Pet names are generic terms that allow one to switch from one person to another without having to remember a new name. Yes, I'm sure there are those out there who pet names hold real meaning, but I have yet to meet someone who doesn't call every person they date "baby" or "babe". It's much more flattering to be referred to by my individual name spelled correctly. Don't drop the capitalization because you are Mr. UberDomlyMasterness and all subs are below You're greatness. Keep it there because I am another person before I am a submissive. And for the gods' sake don't call me "Ma'am"! I'm here meeting amazing people who I can exchange ideas with and expand my play, not to submit to your Mr. McMastery for no reason other than you call yourself such. I've actually met a handful of cool people. I love that they talk with me about math and physics in between helping me figure out just how the hell do I sneak wearing my tail in public. (Still working on that.)
For god's sake please do not pet the puppy in your very first message. Would you ever walk up to a strange dog who isn't giving off any signals, let alone inviting ones, and just start touching it? No! You extend you hand and let the dog get to know your scent. You introduce yourself to the puppy. It is beyond rude to *pet the cute puppy* in your very first message and I will take it as permission to be equally impolite in my response. |
