Two issues in your post, as follows. Respectfully suggest that you not conflate them.
FINDING A PARTNER - Do you know the total population of straight "Doms" in Ohio registered on this site? It's under 50, approximately 2/3rds of whom are >32 yo. Assuming you are comfortable with someone up to 10 years your senior, which is by no means clear from your post, that leaves you a total target universe of ~20. Not sure what your thoughts are on that, but I sure af don't have attraction, chemistry, kink match, and logistics match with one in twenty women. Probably not even one in 200.
Finding a partner, dom or sub, is a numbers game and hard work. Just like finding a vanilla BF, only 10X harder. Subs/Doms complaining about not being able to find anyone are rampant on other sites, and many have been looking for much longer than the week you have been here. Couple things you may want to consider. Expand your target universe. TBH, this is a no brainer. Reddit has a BDSM community and BDSM and CNC personals. Doublelist is the new Criagslist for personals and, while not BDSM specific, looks promising. Many are on FetLife, and while it is intentionally not a dating site, as an attractive woman looking for a Dom, you would likely receive a good bit of interest. The standard response to partner search complainers on r/bdsmcommunity is to tell them to get involved in the community. Not my bag, but if you are social and a joiner, go to some munches, meet some folk, check out the local dungeon, etc. Try posting on vanilla dating sites - Tinder/Bumble/OKCupid. Vastly larger population. You'll get lots of traction. You can screen for attraction/looks more easily. Throw on a collar and make your screenname "daddy issues" (or your more subtle version of that) for more targeted respondents. Last, but certainly not least, you may want to consider looking for a vanilla playmate with whom you can take the journey to D/s. I am not alone in having a formative experience that arose organically out of a vanilla relationship and believe that it has some advantages. What's up with the BF? Your profile says you want a Dom to train him in safe bondage. He could learn enough to get started, safely, in an afternoon of research. No dom (other than him) required...
SCREENING FOR ATTRACTION - Agree with you 100% on this. Attraction matters, as do chemistry and trust. And you are correct. Your social/career/safety risk is every bit as important as that of your prospective Dom. More important, IMHO, given a sub's higher physical risk, and the fact that being a "Dom" attracts abusers like pedophiles to daycare. My dating experience, vanilla and kink, is that people who obfuscate their appearance have something to hide. The same pattern of behavior is rampant everywhere from Tinder, where BBWs post face only pics, to swinger sites, where couples post hot pics of the yoga wife while conveniently neglecting to disclose hubby's 3rd trimester physique. Here's the thing. This is human nature. We all put our best foot forward, and should. As a smart girl, you understand this. It is not a surprise. You are not flummoxed or dejected or detered. You make the only rational response. Next...
Good luck!
