I don't correlate, someones. attractiveness to their ablity to be a dom/domme. However I think most people don't generally enjoy playing with someone whom they have no physical attraction to.

quote: ORIGINAL: GoddessDustyGold Speaking from the POVof a FemDom, I have been turned down, even prior to meeting. The reasons have been that I drive a Nissan rather than a Lexus or a Caddy, that I prefer a smaller, yet comfortable home rather than a huge property, and My closet is not filled with leather corsets and 6 inch, stiletto heeled thigh-high, boots. Shrug In that sense, I have had more than one personal experience regarding stereotypical expectations, and I failed! Go figure, especially when I know that quite a few dommes (including myself) think you are one of the most "dommely dominas"(a new phrase I think, lol) that is out there, and hold your opinions in high esteem. shrugs that was the sub's loss, smiles......... edited to add: I thought I was going to get my third paddle on your post, but I guess I have one to go, lol.

He gained some erotic value from submitting to a woman he was really not attracted to! It was exciting to him, I think because he knew it was really all about the submission, not about sex or physical attraction. Also, maybe there was some humiliation in submission to an unattractive Domme. Smythe

Hmm. I suppose that looks have something to do with it. There's a certain ... swagger that comes from certain butches and men that can make me swoon. I've yet to meet a femdom who I've felt that with, no matter how conventionally beautiful, technically proficient or whatever they've been. Granted, there are male and butch tops and doms for whom that is true as well. Granted, if someone is going to be handling parts of my body that I reserve for lovers, I'd like to be attracted to them on some level. But since the ability to have what I would consider to be interesting conversation with them before and afterward can easily take up more than 50% of my attractiveness judgement. Not being considered something enough to be a femdom is one thing. However, when that judgement is applied to looks, I tend to change the statement to "not being considered something enough to be THEIR femdom."

No. In fact, I know of a self-professed dyke who gives off one of the strongest 'dom' vibes I've ever felt. It's like everyone else around her naturally follows her orders. Like others have expressed, I wouldn't choose to become involved with someone that I am not physically attracted to.

Smythe I'm curious - did he tell the domme that he was submitting to that he found her unattractive and what it did for him?

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" The laws and powers of attraction are as unique as our finger prints. It is a matter of being comfortable with yourself rather than what others expect of you. That translates whether you are a Top/Dominant or a bottom/sub/slave. It comes down to self confidence.. self esteem... self image... there is no such thing as pretty enough... at least I do not think so... it is a matter of knowing yourself and accepting yourself. Sure it would be great to have boys and girls fawning all over me... do I want that... HELL NO! To exhausting. I like who I am ... I like what I am about... and at the end of the day it is Me that has to look myself in the mirror and be happy with what I see. *Always,* *Madame Butterfly* *“How does one become a butterfly?" she asked. "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”*

quote: ORIGINAL: hereyesruponyou I've met people i found physically attractive based on pics/webcam, but then when we met there was no "spark". I tend to stay friends with these people, and we both agree the chemistry is just not there. I've also felt that chemistry with people i didn't particularly find physically attractive based on a photo. To me it is the feeding off each others interest and energy that does it for me. Another suggestion to avoid the creep factor....no mug shots and no wedding photos.... This is one of the down sides to meeting people online. If I went by physical appearance I would have never had my Faith for 18 months and I would have missed one of the best Ds and SM relationships I've ever had. He was not my type physically but emotionally and in terms of serious approach to his service, he was wonderful. I can honestly say that nine years later I still miss him. Some people send me emails saying they think I'm beautiful or cute or other things; a few have sent me an email saying I'm ugly and fat. shrug Whatever. I'm not the best judge of myself in these matters. The people whose opinions I honestly should care about are my partners (my husband and my slave currently) and myself.
