Daddy's Little Girl

My pastor explained the temperaments this way (I think he probably read this somewhere):

Imagine that there is a door that needs to be painted...

**The lion goes to Home Depot, buys the supplies, and paints the door.
**The beaver goes to Home Depot, spends three hours comparing prices, debating finishes, considering colors... throws up his hands in defeat and goes home with a stomachache.
**The otter invites all of his friends over for a door-painting party, mixes drinks, BBQs steaks, has a total blast and forgets about the door.
**The golden retriever figures it can wait another day and takes a nap instead.

:D

Of course these are generalizations, but it's fun to look around at our friends and family and recognize them in these descriptions.
 
Ftr, I am high golden retriever, high otter. I always score lowest on lion. I'm a people person and a pleaser, I hate conflict, and I'm not very ambitious.

Which perhaps helps to explain why I have a penchant for driven, forthright, alpha males who have nothing to prove, and know how to get shit done and get it done right.

:devil::devil: :eek:

I can deal with conflict. The pot stirring kind. Not the heart breaking kind.

The lion in you is the pot-stirrer. It's also the insistent momme who keeps after the people you care about.

Everyone is a combination. The beaver in me never gets tired of trying to figure out who is what.

The otter in me is having fun with this topic and is now late for an appt.

The golden retriever in me hates disappointing people and is running away before Farawyn gives me the hairy eyeball.

:D:heart:
 
*starts to panic because we're over 5000 posts!*

Should I start another NOW? We are having such a good discussion on this personality thingy. :)
 
I think I'm a golden retriever on this scale. (Makes sense, I quiver with excitement whenever someone says "good girl.") I'm such a silly thing.

Lilli - Me too! My Sir (with very strong Daddy tendencies) was trying to get me to sleep the other night - Here is a bit of the convo

S Lie down relax and close your eyes

Me Yes Sir

S Good Girl

Me Ummm that is the wrong thing to say to get me to sleep!

S :D:D:D

Me Like total opposite reaction ;)

S OK got it

Off to do the test to double check :):D

I'm an otter (34%)
Golden retriver (29)

Pretty accurate I'd say - love to chat!

But also Loyal and a good listener

Me too although maybe not that high

also drawn to D who are driven and know how to do what they do;)
 
Hey all. Just popping in to say I'm almost home from my cross Atlantic trip. I'm equal parts relieved to be going home but beside myself that once again I'm an ocean away from Sir. :/
Doubly so because he was in a really bad headspace when we talked last before I left. :(( I feel like I'm abandoning him, though I've no choice.

Personality... great topic... But my head is in a different direction today so... I've a secondary topic. Has anyone been in the situation where they are farther along in their journey than their Dominant? Did you make it work where the respect was maintained? How? Did you find a way to kinda give them gentle pushes to figure themself out more without feeling like you had switched roles (not that that is wrong... But I'm not a switch, it is not what I need. It is not the dynamic I'm after so... thoughts?)
 
Thank you; tulip. Well it is and it isn't on the right track. I completely agree with every single thing you said.. It just doesn't fit the situation. And you are right, I **cant** really give details on it without being disrespectful. Suffice it to say; it has nothing to do with capability, infallibility, or being supported. It as more to do with self awareness.
 
You’re so sweet!

Hi, Moochienanu! I'm sorry you got overlooked the other day, I was focused on one thing at that time. :eek:

Welcome to our thread! Will you share a bit about yourself?

I'm bfg... I'm a little/submissive. Sometimes I AM an age-player, but I don't have an age in mind.

I like to color and read and my favorite color is purple, and my favorite stuffies are Piglet and Bandit, a racoon I got last Christmas from Daddy.

Oh my! Thank you for saying hello. I don’t think I’ve ever been asked to share openly like this, so I’ll do my best. ☺️

I go by “Moochie” which is a family nickname. I too am a little and love being his precious little girl and his sweet kitten. I am more submissive than dominant, but can be aggressive if I want something bad enough.

I like to bake and read sci fi and fantasy novels. I also like to go out and dance as well as stay on the couch and snuggle.

I’ve really identified with this thread’s posts and feel safe saying it’s one of my favorite in the Playground. I’m so excited to be welcomed by you bfg. Thank you, thank you, thank you :rose:

I have been around Doms who are learning about who they are in that respect, and others who are so caught up in their world that time spent being a Dom to a submissive was pushed aside. I let them go. I'm not capable of training a Dom, and that's how I saw it. But, I don't think this is what you're talking about.

If something isn't working in the relationship, only you can know when you've exhausted 'support' of this person. I truly believe that Doms have moments when they need compassion and understanding, that it's a two-way street. We shouldn't just be 'takers' but givers... especially when they need someone alongside them. But... there also is a breaking point when that's all the sub is doing without the Dom also meeting her needs.
