...Not necessarily stereotypical forms of power (people in high positions at work, corporate CEOs, lawyers, cops, whatever), but other kinds of power - someone who has mastered a skill (is a black belt, for example) or has extreme self confidence in some ability that makes them clearly top of their game?

I never used to be this way - for me, my femdom lust was generally directed at angst, sensuality, vulnerability.  But as I get older, I find that men in power (see above for examples - again, not necessarily powerful POSITIONS related to job) really get my juices flowing.

Thanks for the great topic as usual.

I wouldn't say I am attracted to men in power, as much as I am attracted to men that are comfortable with who they are, they are not doormats for the general public to walk on.  It means so much to me to have a man be submissive to me, because that is how he feels  when he is around me, rather than some one who is subbmissive all the time or to anyone with a backbone.

So, no, "top of their game" doesn't resonate for me.  I'm not looking for a man with "power over," I'm looking for a person with "power within."

Status: offline 		I can't speak perfectly for Mistress, of course, but I think there's an element to this in her attraction to me.

I've got pretty big brains and muscles, and I'm adept at using them. I may not command vast legions of employees or flanks of soldiers (yet..."Rule Aidania!"), but in my way I am powerful.

But I choose to submit to her, to make my strength and sources of power her's. At the same time, I still have that vulnerability and "angst", which I suppose is a good term. I'm sometimes conflicted and wary and even put-off by the use of my abilities and talents. And I think she likes that too. The whole wounded hero thing.

I know I like her for it. She recognizes my ability and my strength, even though it's not neccesarily grandiose or showy, like being a CEO or some-such. She wouldn't go for that kinda thing anyway. I'm happy for that. ^__^

Status: offline 		I am older. In my  life I interacted with  men of power frequently...because I was a woman who was a high achiever-- a 'first woman' who did this and that.  Men of power ... hold no interest to me because I saw them watch me flick my long hair, glance at their butts, smile. I could own them with nothing more than a smile.
They are only men.
Same with a male who can claim a mastery of a black belt or any other honed talent/skill.
A man with sensitivity, who listens, who understands, who makes me laugh.
These are the ones who catch my attention and maybe my heart.

Status: offline 		I am attracted to men who are accomplished, who are confident, who have skills....  and that could be someone blue collar, or with a PhD.  Glamour jobs do not interest me--I have been involved in the business world long enough to know that the corner office does not equate to a big brain, or a big heart, and those are requirements for me.

Status: offline 		This has always been a problem for me because I'm not attracted to power (either being in it or responding to it). Yes, I'm submissive, and I'm attracted to dominant women, but that doesn't mean it has anything to do with being attracted to "powerful" people.

To be honest, I really abhor actual power, in that I find the people who have it are rarely deserving of it, yet find they often believe they are overly deserving of it, and expect respect based on position rather than capabilities. I've spent most of my life improving my various capabilities but rarely have I ever desired to use any of it to gain a position of power, and every time I've found myself in a situation where that might start happening, I tend to avoid wanting to complete the process. My Ph.D. research was essentially the absence of power dynamics, while my latest MA degree (in another field) explores the mindset of people who desire power over merit.

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: Getting authority over someone has little value to me unless what they offer is innately valuable. Skill, knowledge, ability especially those I don't have myself are very attractive because then with ownership comes acquiring those things myself just simply through the other person. Owning a master chef is somewhat akin to becoming a master chef for example.

As a guy who is 6'4" and well over 200 pounds ;)....I have to say that the idea of being dominated by a very small woman is a definite turn on for exactly that reason of contrast.   It would really symbolize that her power over me is a matter of mind/will, rather than a matter of force.

As it happns, the last two ladies I have had any substantial contact with as a sub have both been around 6' tall, so obviously it's not something I would insist on. :)  (And, as a crossdresser, there's an advantage to being around women closer to your own size....)

On that whole "talent" thing...a lot of women have been impressed that I can match brown socks with darker colored socks.

(It's a completely natural gift...even I don't know how I do it sometimes).
