Selfish

There aren’t many places or times that being selfish is acceptable. Whether it is playing sports, a relationship or a friendship, being selfish will almost certainly get you criticized.
A BDSM dynamic is a symbiotic relationship. Each partner has to do their part for the dynamic to succeed. While there are certain types of submissives that may thrive on a dynamic that has the Dominant taking and never giving to the submissive, the vast majority of dynamics should have the Dominant and submissive equally giving and taking. Both making the other their top priority over themselves
Selfishness is usually considered a red flag. A potential partner or partner that is always demanding but not giving more often than not has their own satisfaction as their number one goal.
A Dominant that only wants to receive from the submissive without giving back is not one that will nurture, guide and see to the safety, health and wellbeing of the submissive. They can be a danger the physical, mental and emotional health of the submissive. They are treating the submissive as a doormat.
A submissive that constantly demands without giving of themselves to the Dominant will quickly try the patience of even the most patient Dominant. This type of submissive, while probably thinking of themselves as being bratty, is just being selfish. They are more or less treating the Dominant as a Sugar Daddy/Mommy with the intent to get the most they can before they are set free or decide to leave when things get to a boiling point over the selfishness.
It can be hard to pinpoint selfishness during vetting, especially early in chats and meets because selfish people usually show their best side until a relationship gets serious and they have reeled in their mark.
This is another reason to let vetting take its due course and not be rushed. Selfishness, like most bad habits will usually sneak into view over time, no matter how hard a person tries to hide it.

Ron much of this seems to apply to a vanilla type relationship. Equality is not really a factor in a BDSM dynamic...😈🔥🔥🔥😵

I disagree. If the partners in a BDSM dynamic aren't each giving equally to the other, then there will be a breakdown. Each partner should make the other their top priority over themselves.
