Do you consider yourself a "typical" PYL/pyl?

[Chicklet]

I'm not asking you to define what 'typical' means; it's *whatever it means TO YOU.*

I'm just wondering how many people on this board think of themselves as behaving and feeling and acting as what they perceive is average of their alignment.

I consider myself pretty average, whatever that means to me.

 

[WriterDom]

No, I don't think so. I'm wound too tightly in my own little world to be typical. I don't have a tattoo. Or a piercing. In all three of my longer relationships the sub was taller than me. That's a little odd. I'm not THAT short.

 

[DeservingBitch]

The two things that I've found to be if not typical, at least widely shared in the scene, and irrespective of gender, sexual, or D/s orientation are 1) asshatery, and 2) a tendency to over-romanticized what it is we do.

As such, no, I don't consider myself typical. But I could be delusional.

 

[Netzach]

I'm too self centered and mean to be the more common warm and caring person who happens to like doling out sensation. I take care of my people, but it's often more intuitive, I don't sit around and ponder their neeeeeds like other people do.

 

[Bandit58]

I'm probably not your typical submissive in that much of my time is spent in a caring role rather than in a submissive one.

I have to be pro-active and even tell Him what to do which raises a conflict in me sometimes However this is what I do in order to have Him with me for a long time

 

[graceanne]

I refuse to consider myself a typical anything. I might be - but I won't acknowledge it.

I voted no. I always knew from a very young age ( pre birth perhaps ) that I was destined to be very unique, dare I say it ......... special.







I knew, that one day I would look up, and I would be an Middleaged Mutant Ninja Submissive .


It was destined.

: humble stuff :

Puhlease just imagine an 'almost' preceding 'middle aged' and do a 'girl' a favor would you

You're not 21? I would never have guessed from your youthful posting! *innocent look*

Most folks are going to say they aren't typical. Simple social psychology tells us that we all like to believe that we are in some way more special/more important/more whatever than others.

That being said , I voted no, mostly because I'm a switch.

WTF? Are you trying to imply I'm not a special snowflake?

Of course... Just being contrary wouldn't have ANYTHING to do with it...
Noooooooooo Not at allllllll.........

Who, me? Never! I'm aghasted that you would even suggest such a thing! Yes, I know aghasted is not really a word. I just like it.

I'm not contrary!

I really respect that. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do and it doesn't always fit into the expected role you may see your partner or yourself in. Being able to do that without feeling like who you want to be has been overly compromised is a beautiful thing.

 

[graceanne]

I'm not contrary!

*spew*

 

[Marquis]

I voted yes, mostly because the question's diction was so heavily weighted towards the opposite answer that I couldn't resist the irony of being atypical by claiming to be average.

Did I over-explain there? I'll put the superfluous text in red, there we go.

I think of myself as a fairly typical dominant man, but atypical of doms who find themselves through the bdsm community.

I don't know, I'm just a horny dude, you know? Like if you boil it all down that's pretty much all there is to it. That seems pretty typical.

 

[HottieMama]

i don't consider myself to be average because given a list of "activities and likes/dislikes" mine seem to be different from most.

 

[graceanne]

I haven't the faintest idea what's normal. I've stopped stressing about that in my teens. I might BE normal - but since I'd be normal naturally and not cause I'm trying to be normal - who cares?

That said, I like to think of myself as weird. I choose to believe I'm a-typical. Mostly cause it tickles me to think so.

Given what i know of you Gracie...i would consider you a-typical, and i mean that in a good way.

Thank you.

 

[Etoile]

I'm not a typical anything.

 

[DeservingBitch]

My friends, so far, 80% of us don't consider ourselves typical.

There must be something wrong with those numbers.

Well, maybe it's typical to think you're not typical. Which, in turn, would make you typical wouldn't it? Getting dizzy, yet?

My point exactly.

Those numbers MUST be lying. The question was loaded and the researchers are biased.

Who'd have thought chicklet as being loaded and biased. *sigh*
