In lifelong relationships are men usually "leaders" in relationship or both are equal?

[bunnyboo24]

i'm guessing since im 24 and he is 33 its gonna happen automatically?

When the man is leader is better long term

Equal is better long term

Its whatever/show me results

Nothing in a relationship happens automatically. You need to have a long discussion about this and many other things. What do you want? What do you expect? If you live together or marry, how will the money be handled? Women who give up careers to support a man are in a very poor position if the relationship fails.

[bunnyboo24]

okay when should we discuss all that? Maybe just see how the first date goes?

[genericname85]

since women typically pick men more wealthy than them, they mostly get to make the more big decisions typically, cause they're the ones who're taking more of the financial responsibility.

[bunnyboo24]

Yeah the guy im talking to is 9 yesrs older and he keeps sayign stuff like "you'll learn" or "when I was your age" etc does he wanna establish something do you think?

[genericname85]

probably not. things just come with age.

[bunnyboo24]

Ok good.

I believe that dynamic depends on your personality and the type of personality you attract. Some people like being dominant and some like being equal. Some like being submissive and some like being equal.

[Paige90]

At the beginning the guy is but it becomes equal

[bunnyboo24]

you have experience with bigger age gap?

[Paige90]

I have dated a guy that was 15 years older than me

[bunnyboo24]

Cool, how was that?

[Paige90]

Very good

[bunnyboo24]

nice

[AI Opinion]

Navigating lifelong love and leadership can be as tricky as deciphering a love letter written in emojis. 😊 Age can add spice, but it doesn't determine who calls the shots. A healthy relationship is more like a dance; sometimes one leads, sometimes the other, and occasionally, you both stumble over each other's feet. Embrace equality, communicate, and don’t trip over those assumptions! Your dynamic might also evolve like a plot twist in a romance novel. Keep it interesting, communicate, and be sure to wear your communication glasses every day. 🤓❤️

I'm in a long term relationship and I let my Partner be the leader and wouldn't want to change that not even one bit.

[bunnyboo24]

Cool what is the age difference?

[beenherebefore]

He's one year older.

[bunnyboo24]

Nice

@bunnyboo24 in long term relationship it’s never equal.
and it’s not always men who are dominant in family.

as in my family I’m more dominant and household

[bunnyboo24]

Thats very interesting.

In what way are you more dominant?

[Kelly6]

@bunnyboo24
In financial and in decision making.
And in sexual too.

[Kelly6]

@bunnyboo24
Equal leadership mostly lead to competition ,
Competition leads to divorce

[bunnyboo24]

Cool! I hope you 2 last forever🙏🏻❤️

It's better if he leads if he is a good man and is capable of leading

D) I prefer dominant girls, so I would like her to lead.

[WonderingManII]

When the man is leader is better long term

[bunnyboo24]

How come?

[WonderingManII]

You may not like my answer: I believe that God created Adam first and then after that Eve. Men tend to be more logical in leadership. Logic is better for leadership. Anyways I am a religious person and so I think the Bible backs the concept that Men are to be the leaders.

Ephesians 5:22-24

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

[bunnyboo24]

I see

[Anonymous]

Something hot about a man who leads.

[bunnyboo24]

Agree

[bunnyboo24]

I bet 99% of women secretely agree but maybe not to themselves/others

[jahaims]

You can be equals and still be lead

[bunnyboo24]

How?

[QuineJessica]

Only equal
