Do woman like submissive men, or controlling men in a relationship?

Answer 1

It depends on the woman. Some women like to dominate their men, and others like to be dominated.

It's like which hair color do you prefer? Everyone is different. Personal taste.

Answer 2

The man is supposed to be sacrificial to the woman. However the woman is also supposed to be submissive to the man. So, if I am in a relationship with a woman, the final decision on what happens is up to me. And what I then do is pick what she wanted. It takes trust to do this on the woman's part. And a real sense of responsibility on the man's part. Men are supposed to be protective. But not submissive. Or controlling. But decisive. Actually it takes a strong woman to say to the man ''you go ahead and decide, I trust your opinion'' not a weak woman. And it takes a strong man to say '' you're right, let's do what you want'' not a weak man. The trick is the woman seeing that the man understands her feelings BEFORE he decides on a course of action. When a problem comes up the woman does NOT want me to solve it. She wants sympathy and understanding for the matter. After I have shown I understand her feelings on the matter, she can then trust that I will have her best interests at heart. Here is how it works in real life. Let's suppose we are discussing what to do over the weekend. She says '' I trust your opinion, pick what to do for us.'' The man then says ''let's go see that romantic movie that your girlfriends talked about''. By the way, if the man is a jack@ss and says ''great, lets go watch the ballgame at my drinking buddy's house'', make him sleep on the couch tonight. Alone. This VERY effective method will soon have him looking for "Steel Magnolias'' at Blockbuster on his way home from work. Both people win in my scenario. The guy gets shown respect as the decision maker(and what man doesn't like this, come on now). And the woman gets her way(without having to try to manipulate the man into doing it). Any women out there like getting their way because the man put her first, not because she nagged him into it? This trust and respect then carry over into other areas of the relationship (including one place in particular that both people can enjoy).

Answer 3

there has to be a balance, between the two, i prefer a man that is easy going , and that i can talk to, every woman is different. Too submissive is never good in a relationship, nor is controlling. You have to find the right balance for yourself and what makes you and other people feel comfortable with.

Answer 4

I think a balance man is better. One that can take control when a woman is tired and drained. Submissive isn't attractive for men or women but being in synch with one another, balancing each other out. No one stays exactly the same through out time. We are ever changing and evolving. So you go with the flow.

Answer 5

I like men who keep their relationships as equal as possible. But if I had to choose between submissive and controlling, I'd pick submissive. It's annoying, but I still refuse to let anyone control me.

Answer 6

Different people like different things. Some may want submissive men, some strong men. It takes all kinds to make a world, and it would be boring if everyone was alike.

Answer 7

It depends on the woman. Some women like men to be aggressive and dominant and take control. I think these women feel more at ease with things and more secure because the man is aggressive and knows what he wants. Other women don't like dominant men because they don't want to lose control of their lives. They like the independence. They like men who are submissive and do what they say. It makes them feel more in control of things. There are two extremes to this scenario and I think most women like someone in the middle of these two types of men. In some cases women want the man to take charge of things and handle things efficiently. In other cases the woman wants to be in charge and they want the man to be submissive to them.

Answer 8

Women say they want a man to stand his ground and have his own opinion and want things his way. When it comes down to it they want to control their men and have everything on their terms. Therefore they end up with a man who is the complete opposite of what they said they wanted in the first place. They despise that man and it all falls apart. However they never learn, because instead of going out and finding that man they wanted, they react against that man and can't sustain it. Then once again they find another one who lets them rule the roost again and are just as unhappy. Women talk a good game but play a shite one

Answer 9

I like to be in control! I like submissive men.

Answer 10

I do not like controlling men. I like a man who is humble and who can be submissive sometimes and strong at other times.

Answer 11

WOW. Depends upon the woman.
I would say that most woman would want NIETHER.

A controlling man will suficate her, a submissive man will make her want to smack him.
Try being a partner.

There are plenty women out there who have been tought to be a sub, so they will go looking for what they think a "MAN" is, and get what they are looking for- someone who controls them
