God, I love a girl who likes to be dominated, called a whore, and doesn’t pretend to like futbol. But, she can’t live in the Mission. She can’t. Not now. Just not now.

Also, that man is gorgeous. Jesus.

I am a submissive Mission woman and delighted to realize I’m part of a trend! It’s like being a lesbian that drives a Subaru and then finding out later that hey, everyone knows lesbians drive Subarus, and you’re like, “No shit, I drive a subaru because I’m a lesbian I guess”.

Now when I look on Craigslist I have seen many a dominant hipster Mission male looking for a slut to abuse (consentually). So the trend extends itself to Mission males as well. IMHO people who live in the Mission probably bore easily and enjoy an element of danger. So there is an affinity for BDSM. So there you go.

Hey AnonFem,

I think your totally right. I’ve been in more relationships where some kinky stuff was common in our sex-play than not. This doesn’t mean that we didn’t cuddle, or also have tender make out sex. I think one problem that people have (and by people I mean repressed, judgemental jerks) is that they don’t understand that just because you want to be hit sometimes doesn’t mean that thats what you always want to do. Sex in a relationship should be something that changes as cirumstances, moods, desires, etc. A good sex life should have variety.

Anyways, I’d suggest that you just be confidently out front with people you want to be in relationships with. Confidence and fun are great turn ons and a healthy appreciation for your own appetites will make men less likely to be scared.

all of it’s stereotypes, but the sex thing is actually true.

100% agree. You don’t have to be part of the scene.

Certainly not shitty, but a case can be made for Pynchon being purposefully obtuse and that this is not always the best thing.

It’s true, most mission snobs don’t actually read. They name drop a few authors while never picked up anyone like Bellow or even HST. Instead it’s a couple Russian writers combined with BEE/DFW/Pynchon and a feigned interest in Melville.

Every time I was out with the scene kids (you know, the guys who run 4barrell and the gaggle that follow them around) people’s minds were blown when I could actually teach them something about literature even though I didn’t have the hip coffee job, the skateboard or the scene look.

The more I’m around the scene, the more I believe that “the hip” merely took the symbols from a scene that was underground in the late 90s early 2000s (punk-lit culture) and re-appropriated them as cool at the end of the decade. Maybe it’s naive of me, but when I was 16, buying clothes from the thrift store because I didn’t care enough to buy fancy, cool, preppy shit, my cultural utopia wasn’t everyone repping like they didn’t care how they dressed and pretending to be interested in shit I was genuinely interested in just so they could seem “cool.”

This was the biggest disappointment about coming to SF. All of a sudden everyone looked like they were smart and alt and instead they just wanted to pose like they were.

Yeah let’s leave DFW out of this. He was the best writer of his generation.

there are other places besides philz or st francis or the knockout, you know. “boo hoo hipsters are annoying! the mission is culturally barren!…” is anybody else sick of hearing this complaint over and over? i’m sure if this guy just tried something new he’d meet a girl he likes. and if everyone just calmed down about hating hipsters, since we’re all a bunch of hipsters anyway (sorry), we’d get along so much better.

Carina, just take a sweet bong load and chill out. I am happy to facilitate this. Allan, you’re invited too.

Gravity’s Rainbow is shitty literature?

Considering this Craigslist poster is 25 and has “lived here for a year,” they should be on their way to New York some time in 2011.
