Legitimacy

I don’t believe at any time in the history of our Lifestyle, that all participants were legitimate Dominants or submissives. Throughout history there have always been pretenders, con artists and predators.
Now-a-days, though, it is often difficult to tell who the legitimate members of the Lifestyle are and who the phonies are. The Lifestyle is not a black and white, right and wrong, thing. It has evolved and branched out.
Traditionalists will say many of the evolvements are no part of the lifestyle. But there aren’t many individuals that can lead the type of Lifestyle from the past decades. Which is why things evolved to accommodate different needs, thoughts and financial considerations.
But legitimate members of the Lifestyle still practice basic concepts, and proper vetting will usually weed out the phonies from the legitimate.
There will always be those that only look to take advantage of others with lies, those that want to harm others physically for their own enjoyment, those that want to bleed others financially for monetary gain, those that are untrustworthy and unrespectable, but put on a façade to make themselves seem so.
More than ever, in our current world of technology, time is what it takes to ferret out these illegitimate people and avoid them. Or confirm a person’s legitimacy and trust and respect them.
Actions speak louder than words. And the illegitimate have only words to prop up their façade. Be patient and look for the actions, not just the words, of those you are vetting. It’s easy for fakes to talk the talk, it’s not so easy to walk the walk.

Hmm, sounds great.....
The only ones i met, ( in real or online) were the fakes....
And, it may be something, i do wrong, as everybody has been telling me, for the last XX years.....

All i see, on F and here too, are fakes,
or folks that live on the other side of the planet,
or just want one type of 'dominance' played out? Over and over again....
If that makes even sence?

And a lot, a hell of a lot people with mental issues..., too

It is a dangerous madhouse!
