It's easier to tell outside a bedroom but I think lots of women confuse dominance for domineering. Telling people to STFU and fall in love isn't being dominant so much as being a domineering asshole.

A dominant person in general is a type of person who ultimately *resolves conflicts*. That's what the captain of the ship does. The crew might squabble and endlessly argue about things and it's the captain's job to resolve the conflict and say, "All right, I heard everyone's opinions and I've decided to do this," and it's more through earned respect than demanded respect that people get behind the captain... and they get behind him/her because he/she protects the crew, makes them feel safe, earns their trust.

If I see a woman step in the middle of a fight and break it up while speaking wisdom and reason to both parties in a way that successfully calms them down, that's when I see true dominance.

@NamerOfStars I have that tendency to be a bit detail-obsessed. I tend to blame it on English being a second language and lots of English speakers misconstruing my intentions (which is probably my own fault) but it might be a personality trait overall. I tend to be less so though when I speak or write Japanese. I really think there is a nobility to dominance in protecting people. It seems to be conflated with abusing and exploiting people and more so among women, but I think they are failing to understand the trait... understandably when saturated with bad leaders, and cultural demonizations of them in general whether or not they're bad.

I see it similarly to a parent being dominant over their children. They discipline them, make them trust them. Hopefully not too many people think that a parent being submissive to their children to the point where the children are trampling over their parents and doing whatever they want is a good thing. But maybe some rebellious children just see the bossiness of their parents and not how their parents are trying to protect them.

Oh, sure. My comment was meant as a light-hearted "you know, that could technically be an example!". Just being silly.

@NamerOfStars Cheers! My bad. That is something else I need to work on is discerning intent.

There is many way's to be dominant, so depends what were talking about. Also someone can come across in such ways that make you think there dominant but once you get to know them there not. There's way's to have good guesses but honestly could be wrong.
