Trying to find a submissive guy partner is kind of making me want to give up on kink. I'm so exhausted from opening up and being vulnerable with them just to get ghosted over and over the day we're supposed to actually do something. They don't value me as a person and I'm starting to hate myself because I keep letting myself think they do. I've tried all the tips l've gotten on here and elsewhere. I've tried only talking to guys with experience but a lot will lie about experience and even those who sound like they're telling the truth will ghost. I always try to have a low stakes meetup somewhere in public before we do any play. A lot of guys ghost the day of that meetup and even some who do meetup for that will ghost the day we're supposed to play for the first time. I've tried finding guys a variety of ways too like reddit personals, dating apps, and fetlife. Being a domme brings me so much joy but trying to find a sub partner is making me miserable. How many times do dommes generally have to go through this before success? How many dommes even have success finding a male partner? How does one cope and not take it personally when repeatedly ghosted? Is it even worth continuing to try?
