Femdom as and Economic Theory - Perfect vs. Imperfect Substitues: Discerning Dommes and Idiot subs

This post somewhat builds off of the last scenario I wrote about in my Barter System post and is also rooted in the Theory of supply and demand..

Substitution as an economic term refers to people consuming/purchasing one good instead of another for various reasons.    
A perfect substitute is an item that is consumed that yields the same amount of  "goodness" (utility) as a different item.  e.g. If Pepsi goes on sale, people will increase their consumption of Pepsi and decrease their consumption of Coke.  Similarly, if the price of Pepsi goes up, people will increase their consumption of Coke and decrease their consumption of Pepsi.  In either case, the total amount of cola consumed will remain pretty much the same.  In this example, Coke and Pepsi act as perfect substitutes.  

Why some lonely and single male subs can be super annoying

In many cases, Dommes in a particular area often know each other.  They often see each other at munches/play parties/gatherings or at least correspond every so often on the internet.  One of the biggest headaches for Dommes in a particular area is often a couple of subs that are so starved for dominance yet oblivious to manners and etiquette that they end up being a pain in the ass to every Domme in the area.

When 22 women in one city receive an email from one person saying "u should dominat me" and includes a picture of their dick, you can be fairly sure that this person will be shit-listed by all of them.

On occasion, you'll also find a few subs that aren't as stupid but still seem to make the same general mistake:  contacting all of the Dommes within a relatively short period of time.


Desperation tends to breed this behavior and this behavior indicates that a sub in this state treats Dommes like perfect substitutes.  No Coke?  Pepsi.  No Pepsi?  R/c.  No R/c?  Shasta... and so on.  They are so starved for domination that they will take it in any way, shape, or form.  No matter how you look at it, it wreaks of being pathetic.  Unfortunately, this is also a product of the drastic inequality of Femdoms to malesubs, so the tendency for this to happen remains consistent with the economic theory.

Discerning Dommes

Dommes tend to approach courting in a very different way.  Dommes tend to treat subs like imperfect substitutes.  That is, taking on a sub who is a poor fit (usually) yields less "goodness" than a sub who is a good fit. Rather than trying every available sub she will likely key in on ones who she feels can meet her needs or is of a frame of mind that could be easily molded to meet her needs. 

Oddly enough, Dommes that are overtly cruel and prefer subs that hate what they do to them will almost always search with a similar, if not greater amount of discretion.  This is an odd scenario where her good fit is a poor fit for him, so it requires a sub that has the capacity to endure both mentally and physically under those circumstances.
