What does it mean to serve a Superior? To answer that question we first ask what is a superior?
The oxford dictionary defines Superior as:
noun
"A person or thing superior to another in rank, status, or quality, especially a colleague in a higher position"
OK so a Superior means something that is better. So to serve a superior means you serve someone who is your better to you in some or all ways. Which means as a sub or slave you have to evaluate yourself and while as a sub or slave your nature is to put your self low, how ever that doesn't mean you should settle for a pretender master/dom just because you have low self esteem.
Instead you should aim to serve an ideal Superior. There are various ways to tell who is superior and who is not.
First rule of measure is by yourself, you never want to serve someone who is lesser than yourself no matter how low your personal opinion. Look at yourself then compare their negative aspects to yours.
Presentation: Look at how they present themselves. How do they look? Are they well groomed or at least look like they have decent personal hygiene? If no, not a superior.
Do they dress well or at least cleanly? Yes we all sweat etc etc we are human and as a sub if that is your thing more power to you, but we present our selves for others to see. So while soiled garments may be a fetish, any superior with common sense doesn't wallow in his own filth.
A slob lack self discipline and if a "dom" can not discipline himself, how can he have any discipline with a sub?
Personal health and or personal hygiene: This goes back to the first part, no self discipline.
if they are generally unhealthy, obese or emaciated, they don't take good care of themselves so they don't take good care of their possessions, so its unlikely they will take care of a sub.
Their attitude: Look at how they conduct themselves and how they actual towards others.
*Note: online role playing persona's are exempt.
If they act immature and childish, its very unlikely they are mature enough to deal with a S&M relationship. (While granted that spoiled and arrogant attitude is appealing in a dom, that is still a negative you have to deal with and can lead to bad things in the future.)
This will speak worlds towards their intelligence and educations, someone who is superior to you shouldn't have a lower IQ or education that yourself.
Their actions: actions speak louder that words look at the actions of said master before submitting. If they act in self destructive manner, or admires self destructive life styles, these are traits of someone who is not really superior. (I will address some more of this in another blog post.)
Also the way they speak and the things they speak on will add to this. Use common sense and really think about whether or not this person is superior, because many times the case is they are not.
Age: Age is not always a deciding factor but nothing is more humiliating or telling about a Master or Dom than when You see their parents pop up behind them in cam and yell at them. I can't count the number of times I have seen this. It always makes me laugh.
Motivations: Probably the most telling of all. Ask why they are doing this, what are they getting out of it and what their goals are. In most cases if their only motivation and goal is to get free easy money, than they are not really masters, or doms, they are begging.(this too will be addressed in a later blog)
Do the brag? If so who are they trying to impress; You? Other masters? Themselves?
Also ask yourself what are your motivations, Why are you doing this what are you REALLY getting out of this and what your goal is?
Just use a little common sense at don't just rush in and foolishly give your money away, only to regret it later.
A large number of the subs I find on this site are the ones who have come here looking for superior masters and doms to serve only to find themselves faced with a ton of kids and beggers, pretending to be doms looking for free handouts.
Be honest with yourself and use a little common sense.
