I've heard about guys who like to take charge of relationships, like being the bread winner for both of them for example. (Making more income 💰) Just wondering why those particular guys like being the dominant ones? Of course not all guys do this, but it's always intriguing to know why some guys are like this?
Do guys love being the dominant person in a relationship?
I don't like that word... dominant, not in this context...
being a dominant person in a relationship means that you are controlling over the other person, and that is something I would never want to do... I rather have a woman that can be very much herself and on her own
but you mentioned as an example, being a provider... I wouldn't have any problem at all to be the sole provider of a household, in a marriage... given that, she would rather to spend more time at the home and with children, that would make sense to me... now if she wanted to not work just because she does not want to bother, or has no greater interests than just "do nothing" that's not attractive to me at all
a better word could possibly be, being the one leading the relationship, and that does happen sometimes... either of the sides usually is more decisive than the other, or more accommodating to the other... I don't like this much either, I rather to be with someone that is as assertive as I am, because yes I am very assertive so I prefer someone like me and that can also work along with me, not "compete"
Yeah, probably wasn't quite the right word for what I was trying to describe. Couldn't think of an alternative though, didn't mean it in a controlling or bad way though. 🙂
It is not about being dominant. In a relationship, you have two equals who work together. But, only one can be ultimately responsible for what happens, and that one always takes into the consideration of the others inputs. We have different roles based on what has been proven centuries ago we are more adept to handle. Women are nurturers, teachers, comforters, entrepreneurs, and more. Men are go getters who seek to advance, and make sure they have enough food, and money to support their family; they do well in business that require them to focus on one thing at a time; they work towards being a good leader.
Most men do not want to dominate a woman; they want to work with them, and become a joint force working toward common goals, and creating new memories to enjoy for a lifetime.
Dominant and submissive, I only like these terms in bed. If you’re saying one partner assume and demonstrate their roles in a relationship, and either has great leadership skills, and shows respect, trust each others abilities in accomplishing these roles. Then yeah, some men do has the tendencies or preferences to take on being the men/leader of the household, since society and biology already categorized them as that. The men one who provide and protect, the woman would make sure the home is his refuge. They just need to remember what ever they provide their women with, it will be multiplied in return. You invest well into her, he will get double if not more. It’s vice versa with negativities. Sooo… pick your preference.
a lot seem to be dominant and honestly it's such a disgusting quality that men have. I prefer having a equal relationship. Not someone being in control over the other person
Well guys like being dominant because otherwise the woman and to a great extent the world will see them as weak in every sense like physically, mentally and especially a woman will not have respect for men they see as weak and soft (mentally).
A man who is dominant will also have the quality of being tough and taking tough decisions, will have the ability to be in charge and lead the relationship. A man like that will not keep complaining or crying and whining about things but would rather be solution oriented. These are qualities that women find attractive in a man and that is what will make a woman respect a man.
Hence guys love to be dominant. In a good way of course so the answer is yes.
I am dominate because that is what society and my wife expect. I make all the money, make most of the big decisions although she is shrewd and knows me best so I listen to her. I would like from time to time to just let someone else do the thinking, planing and executing but when I have done that people around me get worried and even miffed and do what they can to get me back in charge which can be exhausting in its own way.
I have backed off just a few times and each time the same behavior from those around me. I am not allowed to not be in charge it seems. I am used to it though and pretty good at it too.
Check the divorce rates for couples in which the woman has higher income than the man, and you will see why. Given overt measures by the USG to equalize incomes it is very important for men to make sure they are with a woman who will not find them unattractive if they earn less than her.
Men are designed to fight eachother for dominance. As a guy you wanne be the alpha male because it means you can protect yourself and your family against other males. Men who don't have the desire to be dominant are little boys, not a real man😂
