Personally, I prefer powerful partners; partners with skills and strength; partners on whose shoulders I can stand and into whose arms I can leap; partners who will not quiver when I lean on them. Nothing is more precious than when a person who is my equal or better hands me her power, of her own free will, and in full knowledge of what she is doing, on a plate.
Very well said. I wouldn't change a thing (except replace "her" with "him or her").
Me to. Though I tend to have more sub boys then girls.
I would add (and I've posted this elsewhere so I'm repeating myself, I know) that a good sub boy is like a guard dog. He is stands proud, is impressive and intimidating somewhat to others, ensures my safety and comfort, is alert and ready for anything, is at my feet and obeying my every command.

I'd also like to comment on an only marginally related topic -
When I see someone proclaim "I'm not a doormat" I usually pass them by. That statement says to me that this individual still isn't settled in their submission, otherwise they wouldn't have to justify their philosophy. The idiocy that spews from alleged dominants insisting that the submissive must bow down just because they are submissive wouldn't bother them.
Why rise to the challenge of a fool?
So true. I recently was chatting with a submissive who greated me by my first name. I directed him to add Miss in front of it. He responded with "but I'm not your sub yet. Once I am, I'll call you Miss". I reminded him that there was nothing binding by the word Miss (it's not like I told him to call me Mistress) and that if he wanted to be invited to play in my arena, that he would have to put his best foot forward. All I did was ask him to respect a little bit of protocol. He responded "I am not a doormat!".

As you said so eloquantly MizSuz, "why rise to the challenge of a fool?"
