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?  Maybe Tumblr’s just glitching.)

Sadly I’m afraid I can’t help much, except in the most general terms.

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

I’ve met most of the Littles I know because they’ve messaged me to say not just “hi” or “will you be my daddy” but something specific about a post I’ve written, or with a question I can answer.

In other words (and here’s the important part of my answer) they’ve approached me as a human being and not just a “Daddy” or “Dom.”

Ok.  So.

What would you say if someone posted a personal ad that said “I need a wife?”  Or “I need a boyfriend?”

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

Saying “I need a dom/daddy” or “I need a sub/little” probably isn’t going to get you very credible replies.  Just as a plumber will answer because they want to fix pipes and don’t much care whose pipes they do it to, someone who’d reply to “I need a dom/daddy” just wants to… lay a different kind of pipe and don’t particularly care whose it is.

Not what most of us are looking for in a relationship.  Most Daddies and most Doms don’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?  I’m sorry but my suggestions would probably be no better than random chance.

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

Thanks so much for asking and I’m sorry I can’t be more help.  It’s an important question and a big source of frustration and a lot of Littles would love to know the answer.  Best of luck, ok?
