Help! I need a dom/daddy, but how can I find one or identify one organically? I mean, in real life not online through apps. I’m in my early 20’s and am tired of dating apps or other internet forms. I really want to meet someone naturally that’s also into kink. Any suggestions or signs to look out for? Besides attending kink events/munches. And how can I convey my non-vanilla preferences? Thanks!

Thank you for asking (three times though?Ā  Maybe Tumblrā€™s just glitching.)

Sadly Iā€™m afraid I canā€™t help much, except in the most general terms.

PLEASE NOTE: the next section is not specifically aimed at you, itā€™s just a general observation – Iā€™m sure you were just trying to be concise in your ask.Ā  The next section does, however, reflect an observation Iā€™ve made when a number of Littles have contacted me.

Iā€™ve met most of the Littles I know because theyā€™ve messaged me to say not justĀ ā€œhiā€ orĀ ā€œwill you be my daddyā€ but something specific about a post Iā€™ve written, or with a question I can answer.

In other words (and hereā€™s the important part of my answer) theyā€™ve approached me as a human being and not just aĀ ā€œDaddyā€ orĀ ā€œDom.ā€

Ok.Ā  So.

What would you say if someone posted a personal ad that saidĀ ā€œI need a wife?ā€Ā  OrĀ ā€œI need a boyfriend?ā€

Thatā€™s a perfectly reasonable thing to say when youā€™re posting an ad for a plumber: youā€™ve got a leaky pipe and you donā€™t really care who can fix it as long as they can fix it.Ā  You want to hire a plumber for what they can do, not who they are.

SayingĀ ā€œI need a dom/daddyā€ orĀ ā€œI need a sub/littleā€ probably isnā€™t going to get you very credible replies.Ā  Just as a plumber will answer because they want to fix pipes and donā€™t much care whose pipes they do it to, someone whoā€™d reply toĀ ā€œI need a dom/daddyā€ just wants to… lay a different kind of pipe and donā€™t particularly care whose it is.

Not what most of us are looking for in a relationship.Ā  Most Daddies and most Doms donā€™t just want to be with people instead of things for partners, they want to be treated as people and not things as well.

As for non-munch/non-kink-community real-life events places to meet prospective experienced Doms or Daddies?Ā  Iā€™m sorry but my suggestions would probably be no better than random chance.

I allow comments on my posts and Iā€™ll invite others to either say something there or repost with better answers on their blogs.Ā  if I see something promising Iā€™ll update this post with their suggestions.

Thanks so much for asking and Iā€™m sorry I canā€™t be more help.Ā  Itā€™s an important question and a big source of frustration and a lotĀ of Littles would love to know the answer.Ā  Best of luck, ok?
