Ma'am, I am not talking about service based on the fact that someone is attractive. I am asking if it plays a role in your "attraction" to the other person. One of the beautiful things I've witness in this lifestyle is the way in which people of all ages, shapes and sizes mingle with one another, perhaps even enter into mature, adult relations along the way. Some of these people wouldn't be like to interact on such a level, if at all, in vanilla settings so I was simply curious if this observation held water and if so, to how many of us.

Funny, I think we are talking about the same thing...and I've noticed the same as you. It was a big shock when I first entered the public scene and saw the very different folks together. Not the usually vanilla couplings for sure. However, I’ve always held that physical attraction is just the spark that gets you a look-real attraction is internal.

In response to your query about physical appearances…just remember that any yard stick you choose to measure your Dominas appearance by may be the very same yard stick you are judged against. If you believe physical appearances are a necessary part of your D/s equation, you will attract those who feel like minded and you will live in a cycle of needing to please others based on your outward appearance.  If you are confident and strong and your appearance pleases you, then does it really matter what others think. Be that person and you will be bigger and stronger in charisma  and charm, oozing self confidence-now that’s what matters to me.

The big thing is : It's all about preferences.
A person who is heavier doesnt mean they are less of a dominant. So, that shouldnt matter. Its thier personality that should .
Do they captivate you? Do they make you go " DAMN I WANT TO BE HER/HIS SHOES"? Do you feel drawn to them, not just physically?
I work on more than just physical appearence. I dont care if you scare young children, as long as you can do it at my feet and tied up!
I think also genetics play a large factor in appearence and weight.
As you can see from my picture here, I am part native.

There is a difference between prefer and require.  There is nothing wrong with liking thin women or tall men, but if you have a requirement that means you ignore all people that are not X, then you have a problem.

Basically, if you ever say "All <opposite gender> are pigs/bitches" than that probably means the problem is YOU, not the people you date  Chances are you are refusing to date the nice people and only dating people that meet a ridiculously strict requirement.

A relationship that lasts longer than a year needs more than just beauty.

Every time someone goes 'I only care about what's inside. Physical appearance doesn't matter at all to me. I can love anyone so long as they have a great personality. Yay me!' I have to suspect they're lying. But maybe I'm just cynical.

The OP sounds like he has a valid reason for believing as he does. I know it's not PC to think that those who are overweight have control problems, but the people who are overweight because of medical reasons are the exception and not the rule. Most of overweight Americans are fat because of McDonalds, not medication. The OP has said he suffers from an eating disorder. I’m gonna guess he knows a lot more about control/lack thereof than most of us.

It’s not fun looking in the mirror and hating what you see. It’s not fun crying yourself to sleep, praying to God that you don’t wake up because you hate yourself so much. If being around someone who is fat reminds you of that loss of control of your emotional state, stay away.
I agree with whoever said that most ‘unattractive’ people could look a lot better if they maintained their weight, dressed neatly, got a new hairstyle, and maybe showered, shaved and brushed their teeth.

There is some truth in the above, but having a strict requirement is NOT proof that you have a problem. A requirement that you're attracted to them is perfectly reasonable. If physical attraction is a priority for you, and if a certain body type is decidedly UNattractive to you, there's no reason for you to waste time dating such people.

The fact that beauty isn't everything doesn't mean that beauty is nothing.

I know plenty of dommes that prefer more of the  androgynous  type. In fact I think there's a whole submissive market for that type of thing. I can see why some D&S games are better suited for this type myself.

I dont think looks are that important. A connection, a deep understanding of this lifestlye and a real sub who is secure is his submissive  nature is much more important to me than a certan height/weight requirements.

If his score on the LSAT is higher than mine was, he qualifies.  He need only have read a portion of Proust, but in exchange he must know how to make a superlative madeleine.  A grade of "C" or better is fine in advanced calculus.  I'm quite reasonable, really; not nearly as bad as they say I am.  I draw the line at Ayn Rand junkies, though .

Physical attractiveness matters to me--alot.  But while appearances are important, that alone is not enough.  It is however usually the first thing you notice in a woman.  You have a young, tall, physically fit, busty woman with a gorgeous face enter the room and of course I notice and lust for her.  Sorry, but I love that sexy youthfulness and energy that a young woman in her sexual prime brings to the relationship and normally I am not interested in women more than 2 years older than me unless they are very stunning physically.  But for real relationship, I want it all from a woman: looks, sex, and brains.  I cannot stand a stupid woman, no matter how attractive--unless it is simply for a short-term fling and little talking is involved.  The worse though is when you speak to a woman and she has a sultry voice and you have this image of her and hit it off with her off-line and then finally meet her.  She is no where near as she descrined herself, a bit heavier than she described and perhaps even older than her age or at least appearing older than her age when she thinks and claims otherwise (my biggest pet peeve with a woman who is not accurate in her description).  Alas, sometimes the reality doesn't quite come close to the image and expectation.  You cannot deny the visual impact a hot, fit, sexy young woman has on the male psyche.  So yes, physical appearance is a HUGE factor.  I really cannot be with a woman who is out of shape or a bit flabby, even if it is a little bit here and there or older, say above 31-32--tops.  But this physicality is a starting point.  For males today, with more women in the population and ever more kinky ones who are into health and fitness (which are big for me) and more educated than before, this is a ripe time for a male submissive to choose the best out there and have it all in terms of looks and personality.  For me though it is not an either-or-propostiion.  I want it all in the women I date or the women I choose to have relationships with.  I absolutely adore a young, fit woman who is both sexy and smart and educated.  It is a hot combination with winning traits any man would lust for in that youthful prime of looks, ability, and superior health and sex appeal.

I have to agree with you on that.  I think it  matters more to men...
But in my eyes if a sub is a great catch and has wonderful potential it's silly letting a good opportunity pass because he may be 10 lbs overweight or a little shorter..

Physical appearance is very important.  If a Domme does not care enough to take care of herself then it tends to make me think that she has low self esteem.  She does not have to have a rock hard body, but be reasonably fit.  The same goes with other physical features such as hair, nails, makeup, etc.  The other point is her clothing and her shoes.  Are they neat, maintained, no stains, etc. Are her shoes worn out, holes in them, etc.  That to me is a sign again of low self esteem.  Not a person that I would be interested in serving.

It's easy and quick. Just go to My Profile at the top of any forum page. Scroll down to signature, add it, apply it and voila! Done.

There goes my chances with Venatrix. I was told to leave after they realized I couldn't figure out how to fill out the form for the test. I mean, there were letters you had to fill in AND bubbles. I mean, what's with that?

OK I admit it: he has to be handsome and has to smell nummy: beauty being in the eye of the beholder that's entirely up to My interpretation and the smell nummy part is easily resolved with a quick trip to a good department store.

So I guess that means I have a lot of options.....

I have always followed my instincts and told others to follow theirs.  

I believe finding someone attractive and being turned on physically by someone u just met, is your instinctual way to locate the people that were meant to share yourlife.  Of course not everyone you are drawn to is good for you, but people's preferences (tall, short, full figured, rock hard body etc. ) is something what we are born with to guide us in finding our mate(s) in life.  dating or scening with someone u are not physically excited by never leads to good things. 

In my opinion to scene with someone you find replusive or feel no chemistry with is just a form of self punishment.

I prefer men taller than me and closer to 6ft tall. A very nice personality. I prefer Southern Gentlemen and Corporate types.  Not skinny up to pleasantly thick and any race.
