Conclusion

The data clearly indicates that dominant women overwhelmingly prefer male submissives who demonstrate commitment to self-improvement through training of some kind. Novice status is significantly less attractive than having undergone some form of preparation for service.

The ideal male submissive combines psychological acceptance of female superiority with practical skills developed through training and experience.

Men seeking to enter the femdom hierarchy should prioritize obtaining some form of training or mentorship to demonstrate their seriousness and increase their desirability to potential dominants.
