What percentage of men prefer dominant women?

[Anonymous]

According to what i've seen, men want to be with a girl who they can take control of, someone who is submissive and listens to what they say, this includes overly submissive girls who let their partner use them for various things, and who will do anything for their partner, but i'm a dominant woman and I'd like to know how small the pool of submissive men is, so I can gauge my chances of finding a long term partner suited to my needs.

Few men prefer dominant women, but your characterization of their reasons for that is false.

It's rooted in what men and women of the past needed from each other to survive and pass on their genes. Women of the past needed a strong, confident and capable man to protect and provide for her and her children. Men of the past needed a woman who was kind, unselfish and nurturing so she would take proper care of his children so they would grow to adulthood and be well adjusted humans who would be able to find and keep a mate and pass on his genes.

Those male and female preferences in a mate served a very important purpose in ensuring the survival of the human species. They are coded in our genes as human males and females, so they don't just disappear now that modern society allows women to survive without a man to provide for and protect her.

The men most of today's women are attracted to are still strong, confident and capable (because genes), and men like that naturally tend to have more dominant personalities. There is not room for two dominant personalities in a romantic relationship, so those men, if they are smart, find partners who are more submissive. For most, it has nothnig to do with a desire to control or abuse women.

Most men prefer to be dominant in the relationship. You on the other hand, you prefer the opposite which may not be a good thing. You say you like that but if you really have a truly submissive husband or even a boyfriend you’re going to get tired of it. It means you’re the dude in the relationship. You’ll have to make all the decisions, probably plan the dates, etc. Most women prefer to be the one taken care of, courted, doors opened for them etc. If he’s submissive chances are he won’t stand up for himself or you for that matter. You’re going to have to have this masculine energy all the time. Maybe you already do that’s why you like this type of man.

It depends on how you define dominant and submissive. I don't think I agree with some of the things you said about it. It's more about subtle relationship dynamics than being controlled or used. In my experience most guys tend to prefer women who are at least somewhat submissive, but not "dominant". And I prefer guys who tend to be a little more dominant, but in a respectful and caring way. That's the ideal guy to me, and what makes a successful relationship long term.

Lots of factors
Firstly depends on what you refer to dominant.. whether it's about sex or about life in general or something else

Nonetheless, you are right, the men who are into any form of submissive aspects are quite less.. it's just biology and most men are wired to be dominant or at least NOT submissive

Here's a chart for you which is about Dom/Sub in terms of sexuality
Again, I strongly believe amongst the 25.. most of them are "Switch" types that would just try out being submissive for the fun of it and not fully and completely sub

Personally, I too belong the the majority 75%

Being brutally honest , you might have a harder time finding a partner compared to submissive women or women who are not into Dom/Sub

But Good luck

Determining an exact percentage of men who prefer dominant women is challenging due to varying definitions of dominance and individual preferences. However, studies suggest a notable minority express interest in dominant partners. For instance, a study published in the "Journal of Sex Research" found that about 36% of men reported fantasies about being dominated sexually by a woman. Additionally, surveys conducted by online dating platforms like Ok Cupid indicate that a significant portion of male users indicate a preference for dominant women. These figures suggest that while not a majority, a substantial percentage of men do express a preference for dominant partners.

I clicked on 30% because that´s the number of guys I would say that look for a woman that takes the lead. But that spectrum is broad since ultimately it depends on how submissive the guy should be. If you want a guy that is submissive in all terms the number is under 10% but if you look for a guy that´s submissive in the bedroom but has his own life I´d say the number is higher especially if you go for guys your age that are not settled yet and are insecure about who they are etc.

I do laugh at times when the whole dominant and submissive thing with relationships comes up. A good relationship is usually a balance, you flip around who makes the decisions or takes the lead or says ‘I want to do this, and this is how we will do it’. It’s also really wrong to categorise a person in a relationship and say the MUST be dominant or submissive, it’s like a black and white situation, rather than various shades.

I would say it's 10% or less. Most men are attracted to femininity, and most women are attracted to masculinity. I know a lot of people will try to deny it, but submissiveness is NOT a masculine trait, so most women are not attracted to submissive men. Likewise, most men are not attracted to dominant women, because dominance is unfeminine. There are of course exceptions.

I prefer women who are fun, fit and friendly. No interest in someone who wants to dominate me and I don't consider fun, fit and friendly submissive.

I am attracted to Dominant, successful, confidant women that would control all areas of a FLR relationship. They are just too difficult to find.

Most men just want a cooperative woman who is pleasant to be around. Cooperative doesn't mean she's a robot who is to be seen and not heard. When she disagrees, she disagrees in a respectful way.

I'm sorry, I didn't realise we were in the 1960s! But on a real note, you can take your misandry and fuck off out of here, just because it's not for you, doesn't mean you have the rights to insult men who prefer a woman to take on a more domineering role.
