I don't want to assume.

When I read this, I think of someone that acts nice in the beginning but then the real (not nice) person slips out.

Is that what you mean?

I think that's a wolf in sheep's clothing, Anya, but it does have to do with misrepresentation of one's self and agenda.

Actually, I thought you meant it the way you said, but along the lines of someone portraying themselves as a bad boi but being a good lil schoolboi instead. It would disappointing if you thought you were getting a rockin' rollercoaster and you got the carousel instead.

That phrase can be turned around either way.

That's how I read it too and had a similar reaction!

Made me remember the time I dated someone (very long ago and not a person on this site) who portrayed themselves as being a nasty, experienced, toppy, strapping Daddy and they most certainly WERE NOT.

It was really disappointing and I felt sorry for the person thinking they had to create that persona but it was just flat-out dishonest so we didnt date long.

WORD.

i had a short D/s experience was with someone who claimed to have all of this experience, and wanted to get into this dynamic with me and pursue a relationship. it didn't take long for me to see she was not experienced and i lost all respect on every level (for outright lying) and that was that. i was fine, but for another submissive it could have been really bad.

we all put our best foot forward in the beginning, of course, but i try real hard to be my authentic me.

[JDeere]

I am just very insecure, so there are a lot of fears. I trigger easily these days and it put a damper on my last relationship.

Anyways, I like seeing how this thread has continued.

Somehow, I overlooked this in the thread.

I must be dyslexic, too, because it never looked wrong to me and I totally understood what dee meant!

Ha!

You know when I read it, that is what I saw! I did not see that she reversed it until you wrote this!
