Questions

I know some women will not want to reply to this, but I know me and a lot of men will honestly want to know the answer to this.
​Is this statement correct: 'Women love to feel the strength of a man she feels safe around and fully trusts.'
​After reflecting on things, I realized I am honestly a bit confused about how much assertiveness women actually prefer behind closed doors. I know everyone is different, but when it comes to that connection, do women generally lean towards a high-intensity, take-charge energy or slow, gentle romance?
​From my experience in one-off encounters, women prefer the first option. However, when in a relationship, this isn't really the case, and slow and passionate is preferred (according to my last relationship anyway).
​In my head, a person will go purely for excitement and what feels best in a one-off encounter, as there are no repercussions and you most likely won't see that person again. Therefore, you go purely for the most thrilling dynamic for you. Is there a shame/shyness that comes later in relationships? Do women actually prefer that bolder, more intense energy?
​Is this correct? And if so, why?
​I've added a poll below, but if you're comfortable please add a comment.

I mean, you don’t have to be super religious, but I find it very dark for a person to be so confident that we don’t have a soul and that there’s nothing but this. At least if you’re agnostic, you’re not sure. I think it really bothers me.

Like working on tankers that need to get through the straight of hormuz right now, when Iran says it is shut down (e. g. they will attack ships not Russian/Chinese).

Insurance rates are way up and thus workers could potentiallly make a lot of money in a single day... if they survive.
