Most men are just not used to relating to women that way, it will take some time but you'll find someone compatible. There are plenty of men out there who will appreciate your affection. My own view is to remember the rule of mutual affection in an equal relationship you shouldn't do for another what you dont want yourself to be done to you. Many men could due with a healthy course in this, but if you remember not to smother with protection thrs nothing wrong with looking out for one another and rescuing each other from time to time
I think there probably is - You will probably find that you and a lot of men are "Switches" basically happy to be in either role and you take turns being dominant, or are dominant in different ways just adapting to roles that best compliment your relationship - It is quite rare to find someone who is totally dominant or submissive in all the facets of their personality.
Honestly I might go for something like that. I mean I've always played a support role and I've never really liked to leadership. So to answer your question yes there are people out there like that. Life is a long and Wild Ride filled with tons and tons of people you'll meet I'm sure you'll find someone.
I've played supprt roles in organizations before, and I'm very good at it. But I prefer to lead in a romantic relationship. It's the natural order.
How about a relationship where both partners give this kind of support? It works wonderfully well.
Both myself and my partner are supportive in the exact manners you describe. It works out very well and we've enjoyed a very stable and rewarding relationship.
Plus we're stable enough to provide the same kind of support to friends and other people in our lives.
First off the " Don't worry that doesn't make you less of a man " statement for some will be a brief peek into troublesome relationship if one had to get into it. Now i have no problems with a dominant female as long as you know how to dial back some of it when i also being dominant as well; in any relationship there's a 50/50 split, if you're looking to take a 60/40 or even a 80/20 then you're looking for a child not a man; and no man wants to date his mother.
Yes... I would definitely date a woman who was dominant in a relationship. Just as long as her dominance that’s broadcasted doesn’t emasculate me as a man. I believe in equality as well as loves an independent woman who can handle her own and if there is time. Help me with mine if my own isn’t complete.
Well i personally dont have a problem dating that type of girl because i dont doubt my self when it comes time to act and truly protect. I think/see it rather cute when my girl stands up for me. Makes me like them more because it shows that she is protecting what she cares about and won't just let anyone walk off with them. Only ones that are scared to be dominated are ones that dont believe they are more masculine
Actually, I think from my opinion, dominance in a relationship shouldn't be one party thing.
It's a two way thing. sometimes as a man I need a girl be dominance and gives me orders. That's because sometimes I would lose direction. And no way I'm going to get help except through an assertive partner who loves me and knows me well.
And a lot of time it's the opposite way.
Dominant doesn't mean anything. As a PERSON, you got to know how to take charge of your life. If she tried to dominate my life by controlling me, then no, but if she is just got a strong dominant personality, then yes. To me that means this girl has charge of her life and knows what she wants.
I might be wrong here, but you're making it seem like the "dominant" individual is solely responsible for providing affection, support and protection. It sounds like the other individual is relieved of such duties, thus making it sound like a rather poor relationship in my opinion. Both individuals are responsible for making each other feel safe, happy and loved. There shouldn't be any defined roles in relationships.
In my opinion.
