I would tend to avoid men who appear like they would lash out if you ever broke it off. Sadly, this is hard to find.. I mean you don't really know?

Aggression is a turn off for me.. whether its from a "nice guy" or a jerk.



I think actually being agressive is one thing i wouldnt like from anyone, but at the same time i think i'd need someone that was aggressive in their ability to let me know when im annoying them. Well, i shouldn't have to be asking for her opinion, she should be making it known. A total lack of aggression is boring and frustrating.


i think you want assertive, not aggressive?



aye but how different are the two when it comes down to it? Aggressively assertive :)


Assertiveness is a good trait to some but if one person wants someone else to be assertive all the time meanwhile they keep their intentions unknown and give no input then most assertive people end up losing interest.

Well "aggression" to those around him may have some positive factors.. but not people who are aggressive to a potential date.

Example: A guy coming up to me and saying "Women are shallow gold digging b*tches" is similar to a guy who wants to date me coming and punching me in the face.

Apart from the fact one is verbal, the other physical.


That person would be (mostly) right

They may have some truth to their words but their behaviour is idiotic.

You dont try to make friends by telling people that you dont trust them, same way you shouldnt approach females to tell them that you dont trust them and expect some sort of sympathy from them.
