Could you ever be dominated by an idiot?

[the captians wench]

she be smart. But I be strong!

LOL

This is actually an interesting topic. I was just discussing with a friend the other day about something simular. Most of my friends are not the book, higher learning, art musuem type, and the one I was conversing with sugested that I go to college. Well, that's something I have been considering lately and not just to meet people with simular intrests but to help myself get out of Mc Hell and even get some documentation saying just because I'm young doesn't mean that I don't know what Queen Elizabeth I wore and hince I couldn't possibly make a repluca. (but that's another rant) These particular friends, while only one ever went to college, know they're history. Especially when it comes to weapons used in the middle ages and forward. They can recall all sorts of battles for all sorts of wars, point out simular weapons used and then give a wonderful display on how they were used *purr*. When you step into any other area, they don't seem as knowledgable. I'm never going to get one of them to escort me to an art gallary, but all it takes is a look and a tone and I'm in submode in a snap. Infact one of them used to work with me at Mc's and I had to catch myself a couple of times because I'd hear that tone and want to fall to my knees ready for any command he gave.

Anyway, the talk of college brought on something else. Finding intellegent people who are not put off, and even into BDSM. You tend to find that a lot of people who are into BDSM (I mean really into it, I'm not talking about all those asswhole who just think that this is an excuse to beat the shit out of some one) are usually very creative, and intellegent people are usually the most creative (at least in my experence).

But I guess to answer the question, i don't think it would take a lot of intelligence for me. Just a creative mind and a certian tone

for a relationship, yes. for an interlude or just a sexual relationship, no.

Yes I think that's it. If we're talking about a D/s relationship then yes I want some one that I feel is more knowledgable than I am on many subjects. For friends and sessioning and very short term D/s there usually isn't a lot of talk after "the deed is done" so intellegence really isn't all that important.

LOL!

There are so many different areas of intelligence that is very true.

she be smart. But I be strong!

What if she be strong too?

 

[WriterDom]

What if she be strong too?

Then I kill her. Now I'm strong and smart!

 

[Recidiva]

Then I kill her. Now I'm strong and smart!

Only if you eat her brains and absorb her life force. *nods*

I have been dominated by someone who did not have as many educational certificates as I have, but he wasn't an idiot.
I agree with everyone who said education doesn't make you intelligent.

I don't believe anyone is an idiot, ask someone about a subject they are interested in and they will have alot of knowledge in that area, regardless of their IQ, EQ or any other type of tests.

However, I don't want to be dominated by someone I can verbally outsmart, thats just tedious.

That said, I have made the exception in the past if the man in question looked like he may have an interesting cock

This seems to echo my comments to someone recently...to the letter!

As long as your PYL can 'push all the right buttons' - be they intellect, emotional, physical - degrees, tests, etc don't matter.

It is my observation that the most prolific Dominants on this site are unusually bright and seem very quick witted.

However that can also be said of the most prolific submissives here.

Evidently this is a singular group of intelligent people.

As to the question posed; I have had only one D/s relationship and she was certainly my mental equal. I could outrun her though. Does that count for anything?

Could you submit to someone who couldn’t catch you?

I am fortunate to have found (or be found by?) my equal in wit, etc. He may say that I am NOT his equal, haha, but that is just his nature. *grins* It's one of the many things... (you know, another one of those 'buttons')

As far as submitting to someone who couldn't catch me? Well, it really wouldn't matter...because I was chosen. *giggles* So, if I wanted to run, seems like I would want to be able to get away. Hmmmm something to think about. haha

 

[WriterDom]

Some buttons are pulled, not pushed.

 

[vanelane]

No, but then I'm kind of an intelligence snob. That's why I hang out at Lit.

 

[Hester]

No, but then I'm kind of an intelligence snob. That's why I hang out at Lit.

i'm just weird about it. i like intelligence, but i like a less "traditional" kind of smarts.

 

[Quint]

...........

 

[Hester]

As long as he knows himself and knows me, that's all I truly need to be dominated. For the long haul, I need someone I can respect mentally, physically and emotionally. T knows I'm brainier than him (and prettier) but he also knows exactly how to use that against me.

Edited to add: I'll definitely admit to lusting after diabolical geniuses, though. Yummo!

well said.

that kind of understanding falls into the category of non-traditional intelligence for me and is very desirable.

 

[RJMasters]

Sure

I dominate myself everyday of my life.

Next question.

Exactly. My first Dom, barely made it out of high school, but he was no idiot. He had learning issues that made orgainized schooling very difficult. That isn't to say he wasn't smart. He was-and quite good at what he did. He also knew exactly, EXACTLY, what made me tick. He knew what I wanted, even if I didn't. And he knew how to get what he needed as well.

We may not have been able to carry on a deep conversation about 18th Century Europe, but he was thoughtful, interesting, caring, and one helluva Dom. In some ways, even my dual-degreed husband can't match what he was.

I'm always going to be less interested in a person's measurable IQ than in their humanity and the way they treat me. Had he (or anyone) wanted me to repress my education and/or intelligence, they'd lose my interest, but the Dom I refer to valued mine and never let it get in the way of a good relationship-or a scene. And neither did I.

 

[Proudsubinatl]

Thanks

Or maybe not an idiot, but how bout someone who wasn't as smart as you? Could you ever be dominated by an Albertan farmer who'd flunked out of the tenth grade?

Just curious.

Flunking is not a sign of Intelligence or Idiocy. My brother "flunked" at school until they discovered he had a mild learning disability. Once they figured that out and he was taught how to manage it, he did a LOT better. When he went to the Voc-Tech for Auto mechanics and the teachers there did hands-on and verbal testing for him, he was getting A's and B's.

I would say, the person doesn't have to be "book smart" but does need to be able to reason, solve problems, have common sense and converse intelligently. Someone who lacks those qualities I find it difficult to believe they would be able to control anyone, including themselves. Anyone can be an idiot.

And ladies, it isn't just the Medical Doctors that loose their smarts, it's anyone going for a graduate degree - the moment you get accepted to grad school the MIB come and start to suck out your common sense. The Grad students just are missing less of it than the ones who have earned the degree.

As for the physical ability to flee... my dom would be one where I wouldn't feel the need to run away from. If I did, he wouldn't be the right one for me.

If you were "mine" I'd have to spank you for that.

Just saying.

[FurryFury]

All of my men have been super intelligent in some way. What really separates the wheat from the chaff though is how well they know themselves. Most don't and that is just sad.

Fury

 

[Blushing Bottom]

That's a negatory...nope...NO...Hell NO!

[His_pita]

There is intelligence, which is often overrated IMO, and then there is wisdom. A nice balance of both is extremely appealing to me in a person. Add in an inner sense of serenity, an open spirit and a great sense of humor, BAMM, you've kicked it up a notch!


Fury

I agree with this statement. I am blessed to have a Dom that has superior intelligence *what he's doing with me is questionable though .* He also has great wisdom, compassion and a sense of humor. Oh yeah, and a super imagination that always keeps me on my toes.

Shh!

Don't talk yourself down like that, you might be listening.

AKA:

I beg to differ. Well, unless they are being ripped off of clothing that is... Care to elaborate? Pushing buttons is a good thing & a sign of foresight based on intuition.

Yeah, but at least it isn't the 'how did you get started' re-run. This one only plays about once a year.
