I've gotten several opinions on this and it's time to settle it, so who's naturally more dominant?

I think that it depends on the person.
However, in general my beliefs are:
Males are, in general, physically stronger and are often expected to "prove themselves" at certain things. So men tend to be more skilled at certain things than women, either because those things require physical strength or the men are expected to be good at those things to obtain love.
Women are dominant in the sense that they can with-hold sexual access (and social support) to guys who disagree with them.
Men and women have roughly equal intelligence, although they tend to be better at different things. Men tend to be better at logic and spatial tasks whereas women tend to be better at multitasking and verbal tasks.
I think that in a sense women are dominant as a whole, in the sense that they define what is good, bad, what is crazy and what is normal. This means that men have to be what women want them to be. So women are in control. However, if a man is good at attracting women then the man can be in control of the women because he can say to any individual woman "who needs you, when there are 100 others that will like me". If the man can't say this, then the woman tends to be in control.

There might be a higher NUMBER of dominant men, but let me tell ya, there are SOME women who can be even more dominant that the most dominant male you've ever met.
What's funny is that when a guy is dominant, he's a manly man, but when a female is, she is considered a *****.

It just depends on the person. Some people are leaders and some are followers. Depending on their genetics or how they were raised. There may be no way of knowing for sure. Someone would have to do a survey probably to find out whether it is men or women or what race. Probably men because they are always starting wars.

I am not saying that their aren't dominate, aggressive women out there, but on average, men are the more dominant of the species. Their is just to much evidence supporting this, to say otherwise.

Depends on the person. I'm more dominanante (sexually) than all the guys I've dated. And I'm generally a shy girl (outside the bedroom)

Guys are far more dominant because of their androgens.
