Forum Maniac United States 7,991 Posts | Even in a relationship where we are equally educated there is always something to learn from the other. The income thing is never an issue because he handles the finances, no matter what I bring in. Once the power dynamic is up and running these issues are non issues. If however you are insecure about either their ability to submit or to dom, then these issues may well cause problems.

colloqui troppo New Zealand 2,476 Posts | Bound4Trouble: Doms and Dommes -- would you feel intimidated by a sub who has a much better job or who has a much higher level of education than you? Are you intimidated by people you meet who have better jobs than you or a higher level of education? I know I am not. I know the people I choose as friends are not. I certainly know my owner is not. To feel intimidated over such inconsequential things indicates someone who has issues with their own lot in the world and would not be someone I would choose to engage with. ~Lulu | |

Forum Initiate United States 13 Posts | Assuming she enjoyed my company, I would love to hang out with a woman who was smarter and made more money than me. I’ll recast the question for submissives. Could you submit to someone who was clearly less intelligent than you? | |

Forum Apprentice United States 305 Posts | Bound4Trouble: Assuming she enjoyed my company, I would love to hang out with a woman who was smarter and made more money than me. I’ll recast the question for submissives. Could you submit to someone who was clearly less intelligent than you? Ahh...but now you have changed the question. The original question asked about education. There is an immense difference between level of education achieved and intelligence. I could and do submit to someone who has less education and makes less money than I do. I am white collar he is blue. I have a masters .. I don't know if he has anything beyond high school. I never asked because it wasn't important. BUT he is very intelligent. Could I submit to someone whose intellect was significantly less than mine? No. But neither would I be drawn to them in any capacity. I wouldn't feel an affinity as a friend let a lone a lover. I'll admit it, I'm an intellectual snob. Brains are a huge kink for me. Besides, you need to be able to carry a converstation when all is said and done. Right? Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. - Mark Twain | |

Forum Maniac 3,474 Posts | Those who have them know that education and money are just tools, not power in themselves. They are not always best managed by their possessors. As for actual intelligence? Again, if you’ve got some you know that what we measure is the ability to solve problems. The real trick is knowing not only which are solvable, but which are worth the bother of a solution. The problem solving function in a gifted person is always working no matter what problem one lays before it. The measure of dominance is not in its problem solving ability, but in solving one problem only - which type of problem to leave in front of each dog in the pack. -- Frodo failed!

The beast in me United States 2,666 Posts | C_A is extremely intelligent and great with the media and politicians. I'm proud of him, though this doesn't constitute jealousy or intimidation. It equates to the extent my pride, love and admiration that expells all doubt and fear I might have had concerning life and its ups and downs. As for submitting to someone less intelligent than I - I rather doubt it. Dominance for me is akin to power over my emotions, thoughts, desires, etc. Without the higher intelligence factor, there would be no power in the dynamic. -- With humble regards, puppikat =^..^= respect me for the courage to voice it without fear of strong opposition.
