I've noticed that there are a lot of types of Dom/mes out there but a lot of them fall into two separate categories. I like to think of it as my puppy theory.
Kids want to get a puppy because they're cute and fun to play with. But kids never want to really take responsibility for the puppy, they don't want to have to take it for walks, feed it, train it, etc. For them it's all about immediate gratification and pretty soon the puppy becomes mom and dad's dog.
Adults get a puppy but understand the responsibilities that go with have one. They understand that sometimes you have to get up at 5am to walk it, that you have to put in time and effort to train it, and basically that playing with the puppy is only part of the relationship.
Many Dom/mes seem to fall into that first category and it sucks for the cool ones out there that end up with the fallout of all that immaturity.
And to the cool cowboy with the typing chimps that inspired me to throw my theory in here, this is for you.
