BlueRidgeMTs Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Do you prefer guys who are quite passive, average guys, or guys who are more dominant than you? I dont know that i'm ' dominant ' the way you mean. But if you are just talking about the usual strong, independent women who are not pushovers, then I suppose that is me. I do NOT like passive men, and I do NOT like overly dominant men. I like an average man. One who can be dominant, but one who is secure enough to give in some times and not always need to be in control. I feel i am down the middle like that, where i like my thoughts and opinions heard and respected, but i do the same for the other person, and I do not always need to get my way. I dont take sh*t from men, but I try not to give it either. I like things to run smoothly, so i very much believe in give and take.
Author Ross PK Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 By dominant, I mean. Say for example you're a guy and your car is stuck, and this woman that you don't know who lives near to you, comes over and offers to help, she's very confident, and offers to have a try and get the car unstuck herself. She also gives you advice on what to do. She also seems like the type that if she was interested in a man, she'd happily make her way over to him and do the initiating.

I was going to offer my opinion, but given the above definition, I am not a dominant person. If a guy can't get his car unstuck, I'm assuming that I wouldn't be able to either. I think even trying to help him in that way would be emasculating.
LondonS Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Dominant men any day please... I cant deal with shy men...
Stung Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I thought I might be considered dominant, but I'm really not much of a car jockey . If what you really mean, OP, is a confident woman who is not afraid to offer help to a man, or who will assert herself to be of use in a situation in which she is knowledgeable, then sure, I am a dominant woman. I wanted an equal partner, and I got one. My husband takes the leads in situations in which he is more knowledgeable, and I take the lead in situations that call for my own set of strengths. We both respect each other's strengths and opinions. There are times when we can both be stubborn and butt heads, but we can usually laugh about it later--overall, we help and support each other, and sometimes he asks for my advice, other times I ask for his. I don't know if he's exactly average, I think he's generally more confident, charismatic and resourceful than many, but he's definitely not the arrogant loudmouth 'alpha' schmuck most guys on LS seem to talk about when they reference 'dominant' men, and he also has a well-developed sensitive side which is part of what I like about him.

Knittress Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 I suspect most women want a man a bit more dominant than she is herself. But since women vary in this then there's a lid for every pot...

Are there any more like you? *changes name from FF to Give and Take* No fights. Yes?
