I voted C but I meant A, or D - very uncomfortable. It must be crazy to be earning a lot less successful than my girlfriend/wife career-wise. That's why I'm staying single till I got all that sorted lol

i mean I try not to really "lack" in important areas. am I better at some things than others? sure. but I don't have a 3 inch penis or unemployment. and despite things being more equal, guys still make more on average for doing the same jobs. if a girl was really THAT masculine I don't think id date her in the first place
I am uncomfortable with the thought that I would earn less than a girl I would be dating. I don't mean that in a sexist kind of way but in a "I feel like I should be able to provide for her" kind of way.
I prefer to be the dominant one. I would always respect her wishes and needs, never try to boss her around or make decisions that affect both of us without her input.
I like to be the one taking charge, taking the lead though.
If she out-earned me, I would be okay with it. But yes, like you said, I'd like to be dominant in other ways. The bedroom primarily.
I've always seen women as equal to me. Not better, not worse, just the flipside of the coin. This whole men > women thing I've never gotten, so I'm just going to keep treating women like my equals.
i prefer more domininant type guys, its just sexier. I'm still equal to you and I won't be treated like sh*t, but its something about a man that knows how to take charge!
If temporarily I am out of work and she's supporting the house, that's fine.
But if she makes more money than me and is the main dominant one in the house, I would feel severely emasculated. I would probably be ashamed to look at myself in the mirror. I would feel that I have failed as a man.
i like my guy to be moreso dominant. I love a guy with opinion, who's smart and knows how to control a situation.. I meet too many guys that don't hardly talk so it's difficult on me to have a conversation when I'm talking 95%...
Personally I perfer the guy to be dominant. I feel safer when the man feels asthough he has the 'power' & the confidence it gives them is so sexy :)
In regards to the whole the woman having a better job and the guy feeling asthough she is 'better' off then him, etc,etc... Aslong as he is not sitting on his arse at home - He can still be dominant.
What I think all of this discussion is all about is not what the guy feels. It's what he thinks other people think of him. So, when a woman does better than a guy, it's totally fine. But, the fact is that most guys are afraid of what other people think. So, he tries to compete or compensate. It's mainly social.

Completely 100% indifferent. I reject all macho bullsh*t social constructs and I reject gender roles. Power is for a**holes, anyway.
No. That would make me uncomfortable because I would feel like he was a puppy instead of a man with his own mind
i'm indifferent. iv'e never really been with a girl that's dominant, but I'm sure I wouldn't pay too much attention to it.
I like it to be more like we do whatever, nobody really holds the pnats in the relationship.
I agree, no one hold pnats in a relationship lol
Grrr...
I am dominant, because I choose a little submissive girl. It is natural for man to be more or less dominant.
I think the average man has an inherant need to feel superior and better than females.
I can go both ways much.
Equality is where it's at.
