Honestly none of the above.
Likeable and sexually attractive would be best... but it's too vague. Being 'dominant' is different to that.
Read this description of virility in the roman era, this was when testosterone levels in men were high, and a very high standard was held to men:

To possess Roman virility, was to radiate not just sexual power but “virtue, accomplishment.” The virile man wasn’t just sexually “assertive,” “powerfully built,” and “procreative,” but also intellectually and emotionally “levelheaded, vigorous yet deliberate, courageous yet restrained”:

The virile is not simply what is manly; it is more: an ideal of power and virtue, self-assurance and maturity, certitude and domination. . . . courage and “greatness” accompanied by strength and vigor.
The Romans made virility more complex and demanding. Roman virilitas was hard to achieve. A man with virilitas had to be tall, muscled, handsome, tanned, and well-endowed. (Roman men spent a lot of time naked at the baths.) He also had to be clever, energetic, confident, and politically engaged. But the defining quality of virilitas was self-control. Virilitas was an ethic of moderation, in which strong or “vigorous” powers were kept deliberately reined in, in the manner of a standing army. If a man became too aggressive, too emotional, or too brawny—too manly—his virilitas could be lost. For this reason, being a ladies’ man could compromise one’s virility. (“For the ancient Romans,” Thuillier writes, “giving in too often to the charms of women is in itself slightly effeminate.”) To be sexually powerful, you had to be in control of your desires.

There is a fine line between being Dominant and being Pushing/A Dick:

Dominant (to me) would be:
- Charismatic: good with words, confident, only one glance and you know whats up
- Caring: knows and sets boundaries, but also tries to push people to be te best they can be
- Taking charge sexually and in other ways, without the woman being overlooked
- Knowing what he wants and how to get it while still being respectful
This is mostly subtitle actions and there is usually no harm being done to others

But Pushing/A Dick would be:
- Demanding: starts fights when it does not go his way and he does not take a no
- Only cares for himself: if there is nothing to get out of it for him, he does nothing about it
- Sexually leaves his woman unsatisfied
- Is not respectful to others: walks over people to get to where he wants to be
This is usually escalate into bigger things like physical fights or mental abuse

I'll take the 1st one, thank you please 🙋🏼‍♀️

Likeable and sexually attractive. Double the power. Sexual attractiveness has a power. Likeablity has too. So combining them doubles the appeal.

Miredda · Answer

Dominant can be described outside of sex too. For example, taking over decision making and many others of which only one came to mind currently. Dominant is just a characteristic that can be considered as both a good and a bad thing, but this definition depends on whom it applies to, in what context, to what degree etc etc. So when these many things should be considered the likeability of such a person also varies as such depending on each individuals.
In sex it's pretty much understood.

Likable and attractive. Now "dominant" does not mean some super macho dude; it just means someone who does what he says and takes responsibility.

menina · Answer

I don't know if "dominant" would be the right word, but likeable and sexually attractive sounds like a good combination.
Yes, I would like to befriend him. That's the only thing that would happen between us.

Unattractive to me.

Anonymous · Answer

A dominant personality isn't that attractive to me because mine already is pretty dominant so it wouldn't work.

Dominant in the bedroom is attractive, but I like to switch from time to time.
In the bedroom I'm not really dominant and not really submissive.

Depends on the guy, some of them might be quite attractive, maybe even likable, but I'm sexually dominant, so I don't think we would get along well.
