Search Results: who wears the pants in a relationship

There been a few posts here about men who like to be in female led relationships. Now in my experience the only woman I've came across that was in a female led relationship was the one i was having sex with... while her husband was sleeping in the spare room.

So that makes me curious, what's peoples relationship preferences?
Would you rather be in a relationship where you wear the pants, or your partner?

When I have a first date with a lady, I may get a haircut in advance. I make reservations at a very nice restaurant. I clean out my car, wash and vacuum it, and do a general detailing. If the date is on a Friday night and I am coming from work, I am wearing a suit and tie. On Saturday night, I wear "business casual" attire and I will occasionally purchase a new shirt or new pants for the occasion. I am well groomed and I apply a SMALL amount of after shave. On the date, my chivalrous manners are out in force. I open doors for her, help her get seated, and I was attentive to her.

Why do I do all of this? It makes a statement to my date: this guy takes dating seriously, he wants to make a good impression on me, and he will treat me nicely if I get into a relationship with him. Yes, I know that many guys on this site will say that this is WAY too much effort and I am making myself subservient to her by "sucking up" so openly. That is not true. I make it clear to a woman that while I am willing to treat her like a queen, I will expect her to treat me like a king.

The women I date have a similar attitude about dating and, in particular, a first date. They arrive for the date dressed very nicely, very nicely groomed, and it is obvious that they, too, want to make a good impression. This is how my generation dates.

I could go the casual route but I fear that my date might think that none of this is a very big deal for me or maybe I am one of those guys who is afraid to show any signs of caring at all. I think that is a horrible impression to give on a first date.

How do you approach a first date?

I'm talking outside the bedroom.

Some guys find power/intelligence/boldness sexy in women.
Girls these days earn just as much as guys, especially independent girls who crave power
I absolutely hate being controlled normally, but sometimes there's that girl that impresses you and beats you in every way, that you're like okay babe you wear the pants. All you have to do is service her in bed and make sure she feel powerful and important.

Then that's a start of a beautiful relationship. Obviously, things you are good at. you should do. Things she's better than you at, she'll do. It's all about efficiency.
