I'm definitely the more dominate one in my relationship. It's just sort of our personalities, though...nothing more than that. He's quiet, shy, laid back...and I'm outgoing, opinionated, and energetic...I could never date someone like me, I'd get exhausted so easily! Who cares who the dominate one is? Love knows nothing of it.
Well with women dominated relationships it goes like this, it's all fun and dandy, but i have my parents as an example (maybe it isn't the best though). It was all good for 17 years of marige and then one day dad thought the he wants to take some initiative but ups too bad... you don't know how, so he found another woman and is with her just that he can feel himself "the man". But that's just how it went with my parent's, maybe they are an exception from the "rules".
it should be equal. none if this whos "the man" shit. i have a friend whos in a female dominated relationship, and he is unhappy, has cheated on her, and so on, but is like stuck there for some reason. shes that dominated that he cant leave, hes in too deep. so yeah farrkk that.
I think equal is good. I myself grew up around strong women. It really made me appreciate them, never had a male figure. I kind of feel comfortable around strong woman although i will be honest a woman should know that a man will always want to feel like king of the castle, even though you really run shit. In other words, you could be boss all you like but understand that hes gonna need an ego stroking every once in a while, its in our nature, we feel usefull and great when a woman thinks of us the world.
This is true. In my own relationship my girlfriend is dominant in some areas of our life but not others. She supports us both financially, so she has power when it comes to what the money is spent on and how to save. But it's not really a matter of power - relationships shouldn't be about power - but respect for the fact that she is the main income earner and does more work. But she makes me feel good about myself by telling me I'm creative and need lots of time to think. You can't put each other down. But there's probably an element of truth to this too -
hmm i am shy, but i wanna be the dominate one.. cuz i know im not conceited. and i will love my girl...
yes, ditto! there is a difference between having a dominant personality and being a complete ball-buster
I could for sure, if it's not taken to the extreme of course. Some people in this thread seem to think that the one who's the most dominating in the relationship is the boss, or that the other can't bring in their thoughts or take initiatives. That's not good, and if someone dominates the relationship it's not at all ment to be that the other doesn't make initiatives at all :tongue:
I think most relationships after awhile develop some kind of power exchange....one person is usually more dominant than the other in some part of your lives and the other person may pick up being in charge in other parts. I think that just naturally happens...and whether it's the female who is the dominant one or the male...it doesn't really matter at all, as long as it works for the two of you. That's all that really matters.
I know a few dominate females they are single lesbians.. hmmm wonder why they are single and lesbians. I know a few that were dominate because their partner sat around all day and didn’t help pay rent they are single right now also.
I am in a female dominated relationship. sometimes i just want to cry it is so awful like today!! but outher days it is lovely just do not know how to get my point across without being shouted down!! but hay i love her but it is hard and i DO NOT ENJOY it sometimes.
i've been told i'm dominant because i don't allow men to dominate me. however, i actually love men, and have no desire to castrate or break down a man in a relationship - unless he fucks with me (in a bad way) and pisses me off, lol. but in those circumstances, i would actually prefer to just get the hell away from him. if i'm treated with respect, i'm good. i could be comfortable in an egalitarian relationship or in a relationship with a man who takes less initiative than i do. with one caveat - i don't get along with the kind of man who sits back and doesn't take initiative, but resents a woman for doing so. some men prefer strong women, and that's the kind of man i'm compatible with.
Its a hell you cant escape. IF you're in a relationship and you feel dominated or abused, and that you cant be yourself or have friends, its a nightmare. My whole life, my personality, it all suffered due to a bad relationship i could not escape from. Now i have to start all over again, she turned all my friends and hers against me, destroyed my reputation, and turned my easy-going personality into somthing simply submissive. I need a girl who's a girl so i can be the guy that I am.
