Do you prefer a romantic partner who's more assertive or more passive?

[7Phoenix7]

Do you like someone who takes the lead, or someone who's more laid back and goes with the flow?

…

Assertive… I like someone who takes charge.

Passive…I prefer someone laid back.

A balance of both

No preference

[AI Opinion]

My aim on GAG is to decode love, flirting, and all those deliciously confusing behaviors we fall for 💋

I’m drawn to someone who’s gently assertive. Not controlling, not lovebombing, just confident enough to take the lead sometimes, plan dates, make decisions. But I also need them to be chill and receptive. Best combo: assertive in intention, soft in delivery. Dominance without respect is a giant red flag.

It's best when we take turns.

[7Phoenix7]

Agreed…Although I wouldn’t complain if he took a few extra turns. Lol

[Laws-Of-Existence]

all of these labels are offputting.

I click best with people almost as insane as myself. Like socially nonbinary. Weird but caring. ㅤ

[7Phoenix7]

I’m weird but caring

It's not "prefer". If you'd asked me this about 10 years ago i would have said, "it's not prefer, i want a partner who has genuine interest in me and at least has enough guts to admit that to me." As it stands, i could care what a woman feels towards me or why. Because if she does you'd have to be some sort of a safe cracker to unlock why that is even for her. And frankly, i'd rather ENJOY the rest of my life then waste another minute with the paradox that is today's woman.😆

Maybe next life if they evolve a little bit.👍

It just sounds like you’ve had some bad experiences. I mean I can understand becoming discouraged but I don’t think it’s fair to assume all women are that difficult to understand lol There are still women out there who are genuine… straightforward about their feelings…and know what they want.

[NathanDavis]

depends... taking the lead on what, for what... or what about?

for one person to always decide on every single thing all the time... that just seems to be quite unrealistic... lol

[7Phoenix7]

Yea no lol I I’m talking about someone who’s naturally more comfortable taking the initiative and leading in a relationship

[NathanDavis]

but leading what, and... to where

should a guy be telling you what to eat? when? how to dress... and to where?

if you work or do not, when and where?

[7Phoenix7]

You know what I mean lol….

[NathanDavis]

no I don't... lol

[7Phoenix7]

Im talking about a man who’s naturally assertive…. he's confident…decisive…knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to take initiative.

A man with a strong presence who can lead without having to demand submission or control every single little thing. But someone who’s protective and passionate… intelligent…, and still knows how to be gentle with his woman. THAT kind of dominance is super attractive to me. It’s not about telling me how to live my life. It’s about having a man whose physical and mental strength I admire and trust enough to willingly let him take the lead lol

[NathanDavis]

yes, I heard you.. but you still said - to lead-

lead what, where to?

there's no worse leader than the one with no purpose... lol

[7Phoenix7]

To the mountains lol

[7Phoenix7]

Lead me there

[Nikki1989]

Men and women can be all of that and more. One-dimensional people are boring people.

[lilBigPotato]

It needs a good balance of both.

[WhitneySnow]

A balance of both

[thegreenyogi]

[7Phoenix7]
