So my short list in order of importance is:
- Non-starters: Feminine, Beauty, Submissive - if she doesn't have these she's not even on my radar.
- Must haves:
- Respect (bare minimum is common courtesy)
- Open & non-judgmental (to sexuality, alternative relationship styles, and alternative lifestyles)
- Time prioritization - I don't expect sexual or emotional exclusivity, but I do expect to be made priority above other commitments (within reason)
- Willing to grow, growth mindset
- Healthy
- Honest, Vulnerable Communication style
Pretty good list, I agree with it all except #1. I've found that there are a lot of bratty girls that will fall into line when they see you're not a chump. I refused to get worked up by disrespect early, I've seen too many do a 180 here in record time. Guys that don't get butthurt are *RARE*, and when they encounter it they tend to re-evaluate pretty quickly.
One thing I'm wondering about is how you can build sufficiently deep relationships for some of your BDSM goals. Maybe I just needed more practice, but I haven't found the ability to get real submission out of a woman without an absurd level of trust in me. Getting her to push herself a little bit in the bedroom and participate in your personal weird kink is one thing, her giving you control over her life is something else entirely. Are you going into contracts with these women? Are you collaring them? What level of submission are they giving you that they won't give anyone else?
I'm not the jealous type, and I am prone to some validation seeking. I noticed I don't get much thrill from a woman submitting to me if she does it for every guy. Trying to get that level of submission seems almost incompatible with traditional polyamory though?
