In my data (8k females and 23k males), sexually submissive females reported weighing 10 pounds less than dominant females, and submissive males reported weighing 13 pounds more than dominant males.
Why do you think this might be?

Both dom females and males reported being roughly 0.5 inches taller, on average, then their submissive counterparts.

roughly 0.5 inch difference on avg between both groups, not enough to explain 10lb diff.
Or rather, sub female BMI was 20.53, dom female 21.82, sub male 21.66, dom male 19.41

In general, the average BMIs reported for all four categories were within the healthy range!

Is there a dose-dependent effect? Like, is submissiveness correlated with weight more generally?

Just checked among biological males, no real correlation (-0.03 with weight, -0.037 with bmi). haven't checked with females but its a pain for me to load up data and i dont anticipate it'll be significantly different. will check directly at some point before doing a writeup tho

Innate desire for survival support.
Assuming avg. male weight increase is due to obesity, not muscle.

Pure speculation (your finding matches my experience), but I would assume that your size affects the way you experience the world. I’m small, and I like my partner appreciating me for being small.

Women: typecast. Men: those who are smaller overcompensate for their smallness, leaving only larger men to be their sub true selves.
