I think that attractive people might also be taken off the market more quickly by potential partners.  With more less attractive people still in the market looking for a potential mate, it might seem like there are more unattractive submissives out there.

Attractiveness, in general, has less to do with the "eye of the beholder" and more to do with measurable physical traits.  I've seen studies that broke down measurable physical attributes such as facial symmetry and hip to waist ratio into a computer generated attractiveness rating.  This computer generated rating had a consistent agreement among those humans rating attractiveness. 

One of the things that I personally think was missing in the computer rating system was a person's flaws, which I often see as character.  It is those traits that make a person unique, and it is those traits that I often find attractive.  Often, I find women who might be rated as average by a computer rating system as being very attractive once I get to know them, and appreciate who they are as individuals.

Oh yeah, and the unit of beauty is the Helen, which is enough beauty to launch 1,000 ships.  For most of us, we will probably have our beauty rated in millihelens or the beauty to launch a single ship.

Nope.  I have been in the music entertainment industry and the adult entertainment industry.  From rock stars to porn queens . . . you would be surprised how many beautiful stars holding high powered positions in either industry are completely submissive.

I think this is all totally off base. The woman in question is one who is accustomed to being valued solely for her sexuality. That's quite different than being an attractive receptionist who first greets visitors to a bank. Because strippers are used to being treated like commodities by men who do not see them as people, solely as objects, they develop hard shells to protect themselves. When this dominant showed her that he values her for the same reason all the leering drunks asking for lap dances did, naturally enough she views him in a similar light to the way she views all of them.

imo everyone wants to be valued for who they are on the inside, being beautiful is like a guy being rich, the rich guy doesnt know if the girl he wants to marry wants him or his money, just as the beautiful woman doesnt know if the guy is with her for who she is or cuz she looks hot on his arm.

And Tristan, your post of a song reminded me of a song, from an obscure UK band back in the 70s i guess

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfEsmXbjcyg

Nice Legs Shame About The Face
Met her on a blind date, helping out an old mate
Waiting at the corner, she’s be dressed in black
There was I expecting a really tasty bird
He said she was good looking, I should have doubt his word
When I saw her there she was a real disgrace
I thought nice legs shame about the face

I had to take her dancing, I couldn’t let her down
So we caught the bus to the other side of town
Out upon the dance floor, I wasn’t getting far
So I had a drink with my friends up at the bar
I asked them what they thought of her they fell about the place
And they said nice legs shame about her face

She said could we go bowling,
I said that would be fine
But when I bought the tickets
She’d already changed her mind
She was turning out to be a real hard case
Nice legs shame about the boat race

Downed a gin and soda, tapped me on the shoulder
Whispered in my ear it’s getting kind of late
When I took her home we hardly said a thing
I walked her to the door, expected to go in
She looked me up and down and really put me in my place
She said nice legs shame about your face
Nice legs shame about your face

if its true that a Dominant is more likely to allow himself to be manipulated by a stunner, then thats his phuck up - why would a submissive stick with a guy whose too star struck to Dominate her.  who wants a soppy puppy Dom sucking up to them.

any sub worth her salt, who finds herself in a situation where she isnt being Dominated and is allowed to take the piss all day long is going to lose respect and walk.

Am I the only one who is finding this thread confusing?

I know that the question did not start out to be one of confusion; it has however turned around so that the actual questions that were asked are no longer quite coherent.

After reading the whole thread, responses included, I find myself even more confused than when the original question was asked.



I am going to try and pick it apart; hopefully, heartfeltsub will correct me is I am wrong in my interpertation of her questions.

quote:

A recent conversation with a Dominant friend of mine has sparked this post and series of questions. He was commenting not only about His relationship with His s-type but also speaking about a conversation that He had had with another Dominant friend of His. He is finding that while the sex is phenomenal with this particular s-type, that she really isn't that submissive. She is BDSM model and former stripper, so fairly attractive and the girl that the other Dominant was talking about falls in the same category of being fairly attractive and highly sexual.

From THIS, I am understanding that both men are with women who are HIGHLY SEXUAL BECAUSE of their apparant attractiveness? Also, that because they are HIGHLY SEXUAL, they are therefore not overly submissive?
( This is the interpertation that I come to after reading the above quote )

So, based on the above, your questions don't make much sense.

quote:

So the question that arose is this: Is there an inversely proportional attractiveness to submissive ratio, ie the more physically attractive a person is, the less submissive that person is or is it something unique to these two cases? Another question that arose was which was more important phenomenal sex and attractiveness or phenomenal submission. Do you see many people who have both, who are highly physically attractive and also highly submissive and obedient?

Your first quote asked about submissiveness in relation to a person being highly sexual.
These questions, instead, ask if attractiveness has any bearing on submission.

I am trying to make the connection between being highly sexual/submission to attractive/submission. And I am failing a great deal.

If I am reading this correctly, your D friend wants someone highly sexual, attractive and submissive to him. He has 2 out of 3 and it isn't quite good enough.
I do not believe one's beauty or handsome good looks has much to do with submission or dominance. Is your friend attractive? Does that make him a better dominant? He has obviously chosen mind blowing sex with a hot babe over a d/s dynamic.
~Shrug~ That tells me what is most important to him.

I think women who are highly attractive are simply used to getting what they want and have probably a higher confidence level. They just have simply had no reason to be submissive.


So attractive, successful confident women who want for nothing have no reason to be submissive?

This is wrong on so many levels. It implies that a submissive nature is closely related to greed.



Thank goodness for holly - saved me some typing and a few choice words.

Interesting. From the male sub perspective, I come across many profiles from Dommes who specify that they only interested in tall, muscular, handsome subs. Fair enough, but I always wonder how big the pool of such subs is and whether men so physically blessed would be truly submissive.

One thing I've noticed as an occasional (ahem) consumer of BDSM videos is that I much prefer those in which the sub is not a great physical specimen. When the sub is a superhunk I find the scene much less convincing and it comes across more as sexual play than a Domme/sub session. [I suspect this probably only applies to Femdom/malesub scenes]

On the flipside, I also think the attractiveness of the Dom/Domme can have a role to play. On a purely visual level, I'm more inclined to feel submissive to a Domme who I feel is physically "out of my league". However, that superficial feeling falls apart if she doesn't have the confidence, attitude and brain to back it up.

It is probably confusing because I wrote it in a confusing manner. The gist of the original question is the premise of this particular Dominant friend of mine and another Dominant that he knows is that it is impossible to get a submissive who is highly attractive, very sexually compatible and actually submissive and obedient. And I was wondering if anyone else had seen the same thing, because I found the premise incorrect and also offensive, that someone is only really submissive and obedient when he or she isn't attractive enough to get a "mate" another way. I wrote the question badly.

Hopefully that makes more sense,
heartfelt

That is kind of what I had come to, he has chosen what is of most importance to him and now is bemoaning that she doesn't actually submit. I, basically told him, that he is getting the behavior that he is allowing. That if he doesn't like the behavior, only he can actually do anything about it.

Normally I would agree with this statement, but in this instance, in my opinion, because he is paying all her bills and she has a place to stay free of charge, she won't be going anywhere.I am sure if shows how this situation frustates me and not just because I know the people personally. It bothers me to see someone who is a D or an s behaving in a manner that differs from what I think a person in that position "should" act and I realize the "should" is just a matter of how I believe each one should behave and not a hard and fast rule.

Thank you for your response,
heartfelt

This makes a great deal of sense, one doesn't have to be attractive to be manipulative and if something exists in a relationship that one party doesn't want to give up, they will put up with a great deal to keep the aspect that they want to keep.


Reading through the thread, this was essentially the point I was going to make. People don't only want one thing out of a relationship. Most of us have made compromises of one sort or another. A few months ago I traveled cross-country for an extremely hot and sexy long weekend with a woman who is not close to submissive or masochistic enough for me. But I love and care for her, and the sex was hot! She would make a poor choice for a partner unless she could reconciled to a poly relationship, but I would head out there again in a heartbeat.

Actually maybe a better way to ask the question that I am wondering is as follows: If the sex with your s-type is phenomenal, would that have any bearing on how obedient or respectful you would expect him or her to be. Or would you let some disobedience or un-submissive behavior slide because of the great sex?


Actually...in our case, the sex is phenomenal because I am obedient and respectful and submissive to him.

I admit it, when I was 25 I was a stunner. So I have some experience with this issue, and being a switch, with both dominant and submissive males.

It's been my experience that few men have the confidence needed to be with a beautiful female. Inevitably they get jealous (though they claim not to be) and that jealousy ruins the relationship. I think sub males have less self confidence in this area than dom males, but that's entirely anecdotal.

That beauty is essential for so many men is their own undoing. As a general rule, a man will treat a very attractive female differently, being almost in awe. That's a fine attitude for a sub, much less so for a dominant.

I think it takes a great deal of control for a dom male to set that attraction aside as it were and keep it in its place, which is a nice perk, but not the be all and end all of the relationship.

As far as the correlation between submission and attraction, what can I say? If a male allows some good looking pussy to lead him around by his dick, he's not dominant, to me. Or at least, not a good dominant.

And the whole attraction, submission, great sex thing? A person does not have to be phenomenally attractive to be able to have great sex. For that, you need a phenomenal connection.
