Big difference in male and female subs

[ge****]

See, as I suspected it would, this has turned into a "pity poor me" fest from those amongst us who can't see beyond the end of their dick/ego and think they're hard done by - when actually everything lies in their power to both improve their experience and avoid falling prey to those seeking to part them from their m0ney.
.
It's always someone else's fault and not their own too 🙄
.
All I will say chaps is take a look closer to home for the source of the issue - it's all within your control to make things better for yourself, you can't expect others to fix it for you or offer what you seek without putting some effort in yourselves - update your profiles to make yourselves more appealing, have your guard up against scammers and don't engage with the "too good to be true" approaches you might get - learn how to watch for tell tale signs.
.
I could go on, but frankly I've posted things like this many times and no-one seems to listen or want to help themselves, so I'd likely be wasting my breath!!

Pound for pound - women are more likely to be victims of dating scams then men.   

 

Can you expand on this?  Are they more likely to fall for scams or targetted in different ways to men?  Women to me seem far more sensible than most men so this surprises me.

Am I susceptible to online scams? Of course, but no more than anyone else.
In the world of D/s or Fet, have I received messages asking for banking details with regards to sugar daddies? Of course, many times.
Have I fallen for m0ney based scams? Fortunately not. Likely, due to sensibility and a lack of desperation.
If this is something that is a 'constant', I would suggest that the issue lies with the individual who keeps coming face to face with the issue.
.
The point is that men are worrying about a loss of funds that are replaceable either through the Bank if you report or through future earnings. Women, on the other hand, are worried about physical or emotional h@rm. The two are not equitable.

I agree with you but the point here all the whole thread is “difference in male and female subs”.
Charging someone who you don’t know for an encounter or scamming someone won’t solve any woman safety problem, maybe it even will worsen it creating more frustration among men who experiment that.
Everyone, every gender have have their own complaint and issues..
Also, even man can get harmed by meeting someone wrong, me myself very recently felt unsafe going to meet a girl in her own house and I didn’t go..
It’s less frequent off course for obvious reasons but it happens, man suffer *** too..

Women are targeted differently.  

So the ones that target women are usually slow burner.  Men tend to be targeted quickly for relatively low amounts - not that some would argue 100-500 is low, but the common sub scams are "yes, I'll be your Mistress and all you have to do is this thing with a one off payment" (book a dungeon, buy a training kit, get an expensive membership, etc.) 

There are a couple of quick-wins that target women which are usually sugar daddy scams, particularly when it will appear that they have sent *** that they actually haven't, or can recall.    This could be to get something from the lady, or it can often be "Hey, so I sent you (say) £2000 and it's left me short, can you send me just £200 back" - which sounds fine except the £2k was never sent or can be recalled.

The ones that tend to target women mind are usually slow burners where they will spend a lot of time on the mark and there'll be some huge problem either when it comes time to meet, or to meet again if a meeting has taken place.  The Tindr Swindler on Netflix is a good example watch, it's a variation on some of the common scams that target women.

oh mate

- Women get threats of physical or sexual *** - people sending them dick pics, inappropriate erotica, fantasy pushing - so on

- Men are like, oh it's so hard as people ask for ***

get a grip 

I don’t see why man issues should be less than woman issue.
I know this is a trend right know and that’s why I’m here supporting what I know and what I feel.
I talk from a privileged position but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t pass trough all this that have been said and felt enough to be here giving my opinion.

I’m in open relations since years I know very well what woman pass through and I support their issues and safety concerns by taking actions too.

Every gender has its own problem equally respectable, equally worthy to be dealt with in a proper way.

But here are in this thread a man expressed his very rightful concern/ frustration, very fair to be listened and helped, as I man knowing what he passes trough I give my support and opinion, you as a man shouldn’t you do the same? I don’t get it..
Cheers

This is the problem.   See, I come naively expecting a thought out diatribe between the differences between M/f and F/m - and instead it's the old £$£ arguments and lazy-ass "women have it easier"

A lot of which is rooted in their own misogyny which is then a tell on why they can't find a Dominant Woman. 

Like, I rarely get people asking for payment.  I think cold contact it's been something like 2 in the past 3 months and of course I rarely reach out to others - but so far my "sure only if £££" response has been 0 (and from memory I think I get around 75% replies - regardless on where they ultimately go)

The kinda assumption is that it's easier for women would suggest that men have lower quality control or standards on who they would accept. In itself, that is a self own.

A next assumption is that it's easier for women to pick since they get hundreds of messages.  Some of which neglects to accept that she doesn't *have* to pick and rather than a rivalry with each other they are a rivalry to her solitude -- but also rather how men fantasise they would respond if they got a lot of messages.  Being blissfully unaware of how draining carrying conversations can be -- but also that they themselves would be likely to play people against each other (whilst also complaining if women set any standards) 

Ironically, most of the messages I get are from men who either (a) cannot read profiles (b) want me to introduce them to someone (sorry, you haven't even introduced yourself to me?!) or (c) want to call me names for something I wrote  

Finding a partner is, ultimately, difficult for everyone.  Though solely looking by filtering on a website is never going to end well.

It’s because they’re scammers they don’t want a bond and the ones that do are few are far between… basically legal sex workers

I wouldn't say "less than" but the issues are different

If as a man you decide to send someone *** (of your own free will) if it doesn't go as you desire then at worst you're slightly out of pocket, maybe feeling like your time was wasted.   Like, I dunno, going to a gig which was disappointing or a restaurant that wasn't worth it.

If you are actually scammed then again, at the worst you're out of pocket, maybe feeling a little humiliated - but if you take this to your bank then providing you didn't do something totally stupid like give someone untraceable gift cards then you can get the *** back.

It is of course possible to be on the receiving end of some form of harm, be it dangerous play, or ***, etc - but this is not something male subs tend to ever even bring up.   I would say a big difference between subs here is that if a man ended up in hospital due to dangerous play during, say, ballbusting - it'd be "haha shouldn't have let her kick you in the balls" whereas there might be a little more sympathy if a woman is injured through dangerous play (apart from some who would say she should vet more) 

But this is it; if a female sub is on the receiving end of physical or sexual *** then this can't be undone, it's not something you can feel a bit silly about call a bank and it be undone.

I guess, 'as a man' - maybe there is bits I could, or should, empathise with - but the majority of the issue comes from male behaviour

There's stuff where... I don't wish to sound cold, so I guess.

Yes - it sucks you get a message from someone and you look and they then start asking for *** (even if it was probably obvious from the profile.   even if it does also suck if you're a lady and it's another guy sending you a low effort message, or a shopping list)

but it is the nature of dating that you will get some messages where the other person is not what you are looking for. Such is life.

I could also agree of course that it might suck if you struggle to get replies from your messages and then you do see the icon, it's a reply... and a demand for ***.   But again, in a lot of cases this should be obvious from the profile, either cos it says or implies, or because it's a low effort profile (I don't get why guys would ever message a low effort profile, it says more about their lack of standards)

The big problem I know that happens is that guys message lots of women, 'genuine' women see this and find this off putting, but sellers will always reply.  You messaged them, they think you're buying.

When we say above about men's and women's issues - it's important here for men, ultimately, to stop assuming women have it easy - they don't, they have it different.

There isn't the shortage of Dominant, or potentially Dominant, women that men like to think they have (it appeases to the fact they haven't found anyone - it CAN'T be them at fault it MUST be a shortage!) however for whatever reason, aside from the fact dating is hard (especially online) they've done little to showcase to the other person why they are a good match or worth a conversation with.

The next kinda thing is not to put all the eggs into the online basket.  When someone is like "Oh, all women want $$$" the alarm this sets off is how little the guys actually know about kink or engage in kink beyond look at online websites - want to meet women who are Dominant and open about it? Go to kink events.  Meet with them and learn from them.

And if events isn't for you... then, y'know, in general more women would be into Femdom etc if it *actually* benefited them and not just about satisfying guys wishlist of kink.    There's scope for learning there.   While, also, a lot of women are into at least trying kink, but again, it has to be something which isn't more work for them.   

More women are interested in men who bring them value.  And if you don't show how you are valuable and value them, then you will only ever get those who talk in green.

I think, and to build on Eyem's comment re differences, if a man posts about something awful happening, they don't experience women commenting that it didn't happen, they aren't challenged about their vetting process or lack of.
They aren't asked why they were drinking or asked what they were wearing etc etc. No one here has negated anyone else's experiences. No one here has victim blamed, which is what happens consistently and persistently with female subs.
.
And to move on to your other comment, women aren't saying men's issues/rights are less than women's. What they're saying is, this is our experience, this has been happening for centuries, we (and other minority genders) want and deserve equity in all area's of life. It's not a 'trend' is something that's been championed for decades.
Men wouldn't feel so threatened by feminism if there manhood was rooted in something other than oppressing women.
.
The other point I'll make is this because it's always the same gripe, in relation to there being so few Dommes, what do you think happens in society to women that stand up for themselves? We're seeing how that plays out in both England and Ireland right now.
.
Lastly, shall we look up the stats re *** being perpetrated by gender? Because whilst I agree with you that male subs can experience harm, it's very few and far between. We could also look up which gender is more likely to be the source of risk to males generally is if you'd like?
