Some men think all women like Dominant men

Post Reply New Topic

Okay I do not speak for women on this but I tend to have a lot of female traits and I would not like to be with a guy because he is dominant.

1) I don't think "all women" like *anything* except maybe oxygen , and

2) I suppose you'd have to define "dominant" as it probably varies in each woman's mind.

Well in another thread some one mayed claims that all women like a dominant man like a man that takes charge in everything thats what I mean by dominant men this type of man to me is very shallow they see women as weak and that they need to man to take care of them.

Based on careful observations, such dominant men seem to have no trouble getting laid.

Well, I am female (biologically and gender), and I don't like a man to be dominant in most things. I need equal partnership or autonomy or it's no dice, for the most part. He can be dominant in things like "car maintenance".

So, there's one woman, for what it's worth.

And I sleep with the men that meet my criteria, so it's not just "dominant in all things" men getting laid.

Then you need to use your observations on other types of men they have no problem getting laid either it's not just the so called dominant men that get laid.

between my husband and i, i tend to be the decider. we are both happy.

Most men who think this way are unsuccessful at love and bitter about it

Clearly that is the conclusion that I have reached.

I can say this is a myth. Especially since I am known for being fiery tempered, aggressive, and intense. I get especially this way if I see someone as incompetent or my surroundings being messy in a sense. I think with this issue, there has to be a perfect balance between the two sides. You can't just let anyone just walk over you, but you cannot be overly aggressive like me at times. As well, women can have all kinds of different preferences. That is why all types of people are made.

I wouldn't be with someone who is "dominant" if that meant they were controlling me or telling me what to do.

I could never be with anybody like that.

I could never be with some one like that either.

This discussion is largely based on your definition of the word "dominant".

Therefore the term can be very easily confused for something it's not or misunderstood by someone who does not understand your definition of the word. If you actually want to have a proper discussion on the topic, I think it might be a good idea to state what your idea of the word "dominant" is.

You may find that many women who say they like dominant men have a very different understanding of the word than you do.

And no, not ALL women like dominant men. It's a stereotype (regardless of whether it's false or not) and as such is subject to exceptions.

^^ Good point. Dominant does not necessarily mean domineering or overbearing, but decisive and bold perhaps

I'm complex in that sense. For example, my unrealistic object of desire has unconfident-overconfidence, which I figured is an indication of what I like in guys. I want their emotional core to be sensitive, but I also NEED the confident façade, as opposed to an emotional external-self.
