I also agree with That Girl that context matters when discussing these kinds of things. as a kinky someone I can definitely say that both dominance and submissiveness can be highly attractive in a sexual context. Most non-kinky people probably recognise that in their own relationships anyway. Some BDSM folk speculate that the submissive is in fact stronger than the dominant, as the submissive can typically unselfishly love their partner and serve their emotional/sexual needs, whilst Dominants can often act out of a need for abject self-gratification, which eventually, ironically, diminishes and weakens them.
I think the whole submissive thing is paradoxical. As someone expressed, we can submit to another in conversation out of consideration for that other person's need to be heard etc. and in so doing become an ACTIVE not PASSIVE listener?? And so on.
