myth's Belated DMSI 3.1 Journal

[myth]

One, it's not about dangling rewards, it's about showing them you can help them achieve their goals.

I was originally going to phrase it similarly, especially given how I sell my ideas to co-workers, but "dangling rewards" seemed more appropriate to a physical sales product example.

Anyhow, I am intrigued by your experience, what would you say dmsi needs to be a good womanizing sub?

I'm not sure if you mean in terms of change or key points. Or what "womanizing" even means in this context. I'm actually a fan of 3.1 and have no immediate interest in 3.2, although, admittedly, I'd be happier if the NSFX/halfway stuff weren't there. I see that as far more appropriate to SM, a sub with a goal of becoming a seducer. IMHO, DMSI's goal is its complement, not its twin or its successor. I see them as separate topics that should stay separately-focused when studied, not muddled together, where opposable elements can get conflated. North and south are wonderful directions when pursued separately, but they cancel each other out if taken simultaneously.

I'd also say that any suggestion for DMSI fueled by an inferiority complex or body dysmorphia probably isn't a very good idea. Unless it's to remove the inferiority complex or dysmorphia itself (without creating a prideful by-product), and even that may still belong in another sub more than in DMSI. For all that I know, OSGF and self-image scripting may take care of that with time anyhow.

And I wouldn't object to the sexual performance script correction.

Also not overly interested in the anti-sniper, since I've been rejecting people (politely) for years without needing one to amplify it or to make my rejection choices for me. I also like being able to make that decision on more than hasty first impressions, after I'm better-informed. My subconscious may be powerful and observant, but it's not omniscient. Being hyper-aware of a closed book is still being unaware of what's inside it..

Beyond that, I don't know enough about DMSI under the hood to offer specific suggestions, since, other than what the sales page says, I don't really know what's there and what isn't. I do think that a lot of people have various misconceptions to unlearn (myself included, probably), but I'm pretty sure that the polymorphic everythings, Roman-sounding engines, ASS/ART, OSGF, EIP, etc may have to teach us indirectly which specifics are useful before those specific concepts can be re-injected to upgrade it into something even better.

That's if I had to change anything, but, honestly, 3.1's still teaching me so much each day (often "discovering what I already know"), even so soon after restarting it again, that I'm not complaining.
