As long as that doesn't mean she is afraid to tell me things I may not want to hear, I prefer more timid and submissive personalities. In fact, I do think I can take over part of the responsibility for both of us, should a woman be willing submit in general, not just in bed and few other specific situations.
Imho what people call "too nice" is often some other problem instead. A more submissive type of personality naturally looks to avoid conflict. That is great. But it can mean that she will also avoid topics that really need to be discussed, to the point of lying about something, even if only partially. I had that happen multiple times and had to learn to be really vigilant when I sense something is being left unsaid.
It may mean she can suffer and boil on the inside but won't bring it up, nor insist on fixing it if its an uncomfortable topic.
Sometimes it's just about being too shy to have an interesting conversation. More disagreeable people may have a wider repertoire of fun, because the learn to walk on the edge between funny and rude. To me that would be a dumb reason to lose interest, but some people do prefer that.
I know very few people who have really successful marriages, but all of them happen to be pretty easygoing people. Not timid, but not prone to arguments or negative emotions. So I don't think aggression helps. Confidence, assertiveness, yes. Not aggression.20 Reply

Be submissive to the right man.
Women have gone to far. I'd want my daughter or my sisters to never be dependent on men for anything. That goes for their self worth.
But to also never be independent of men. Both genders have their bit the play if people will get outta the way people will be people the way we have for 000s of years.00 Reply
+1 yDepends on what you mean by submissive. I would assume that most men want a partner that is able make decisions and have some level of independence. I wouldn't imagine that many people would want to marry someone they have to essentially be a caretaker for.

+1 yNo. This isn't true. It has nothing to do with being submissive or not. It has everything to do with your attitude. And shy people sometimes are not shy because they wish to be shy but because that have poor self image and a poor attitude about themselves. How can you have a bad attitude toward yourself and expect someone to have a good attitude toward you. It is impossible to sustain that. Your positive expectation will fade and you will ruin the relationship at some point unless you settled for someone you believe is worth of you.

+1 yBeing a submissive wife is for keeping the husband. Husbands need to listen to their wife, the wife needs to let the husband lead. The husband needs to listen and weight their opinions with theirs as one and be a leader. The problem we have today is men just often do not ask a woman for a date, so when a woman asks a man, he takes what he can get. Each person has their own motive. A lot of young men are not ready for marriage, but enjoy the company of a girlfriend for what he gets with her vs without. The issue today is men do not want to lose what took them 20 or more years of hard work to earn and lose it all from divorce. The average marriage length is pretty short and the second marriage is shorter until each person comes to realize they wasted time trying to work on their spouse instead of themselves
00 ReplySo there's validity to both
Guys on average generally don't want aggressive women unless they themselves are submissive and are attracted to a dominant female. We naturally are attracted to people that balance us out
In the dating world today tho. If you are wanting guys who have a good amount of options then yes you absolutely have to be more aggressive.
Not because he wants aggressive women, but because he doesn't have to talk to you with other women pursuing him
Put yourself in his shoes. If you have 10 hor people all coming for you, wanting your time, attention, affection, and to get into a more serious relationship... how likely are you to go out of your way to put in extra work for someone not making it easy for you? Someone who is about as attractive as the others, without some meaningful quality that makes them stand out to you00 ReplyYes, true. There should a balance. Give and take equally.
Being too nice is perceived boring in long term. This is why most too nice people who have never been into a relationship get stuck single, because they act desperate, try too hard to please men to get into a relationship, which is kind of boring.
If they manage to be in a relationship, they will be taken for granted, because they are too submissive and not stand for what is right.
It's human nature to go for what is hard to get and what they can't have easily and it's human nature to underestimate anything given too easily or free of cost.00 ReplyNo way. I was exclusively looking for submissive type even though I hang out with aggressive women as friends. It just causes problems. Instead of looking at who is married look at who STAYS married. They’re much more likely to be submissive women in that successful marriage. Not all but subby women I know are all cherished by their husbands. The feminist types have miserable husbands that are a shell of who they were when I knew them.
00 ReplyThey should be more likely, not less.
Well, maybe less likely due to all the simps/pu$$!3s these days that can't make decisions and deal with the consequences. lol
But they should be more likely to end up with a manly man. It just might take longer to find one because of how so many people are these days.00 ReplyI would have thought it would be the other way around, I thought lots of men are scared of dominant women 😂

Anonymous(30-35)+1 ySort of. But it’s simply that women who take an active role and putting themselves out there and talking to the guys they like. It’s not that there’s anything unattractive about being submissive or that being dominant is attractive. It’s just the girls that actually put in the effort get results, that’s all.
20 ReplySo u are telling like dominant woman have higher chance of getting married no its not because dominant woman loss thier control involve in fight lead to break up while submissive relation ladt long because she have better mutual understanding

In today's western society you have it easier if you take initiative and try to get him. reverse to old beliefs.00 Reply
+1 yI have no idea.
I'm usually submissive, so I attract to more dominant women. Though to be honest, I've tried being more dominant recently since girls don't like my submissive side. Sucks, but you gotta do what you gotta do.11 Reply- +1 y
Do you like it though?
Every guy is different, i would prefer a mix of both
10 ReplySumbissive women are nicer but active women put in more work to get what they want, instead of just waiting around for a man to move.

This makes sense. They get it because they don't sit around waiting on their ass for things to happen.
No, it's just become popular in common these days for women to be aggressive. But for the vast majority of man, they and generally leaned more towards finding submissive women attractive.
