I disagree with the 50-50 partnership thing. It sounds nice on paper but that's not the way life is. Some people are more dominant or submissive than others. There's nothing wrong with that. Submissives are often attracted to opposite sex partners who are more dominant than they are. I have read that there are more natural submissives, including males, than there are doms. One combination that doesn't seem to work out is when both partners have dominant personality types, this can lead to a lot of conflict.

It's kind of 50/50, but I prefer women to make most of the decisions. They're a lot smarter than me.

i still keep hearing that it is logically not possible for a relationship to be a partnership, where it is 50/50, i always keep hearing there has to be a leader and a follower or the attraction will be lost

You should have no shortage of men who are submissive to their wives. IMHO, this is the case in most marriages. It may not be obvious, but once you get to know them, it becomes plain. What amazed me is that I've been the head of the house all during our marriage. However, my son is led around by his wife. Whatever she wants, she gets. It's pathetic.

Submissive men just aren't my thing. I like for men to be men. I don't want to have to be dominating all the time. If he needs to be bossed around, I'm not sticking around. I like a man who takes initiative, is masculine & has balls.
Being submissive once in a great while is ok; but I'd never do a LTR with a submissive man.

Submissive men are pathetic, I mean, scared of your wife? Seriously? I have never been scared of any women I have been with yet I have never felt the need to dominate a relationship but you better believe I will be freaking loud and nasty if we are not getting along or if she is trying to pull some BS.

I was in a long term relationship for 6 years and although she was not submissive, she was a more passive person, I often felt like I had to make all the decisions and it did not feel like a true partnership.

I have to say, some of the loudest arguments we had were actually very beneficial, they almost always drew her closer to me. A dude who is submissive and does not express himself will never get any respect, I feel sorry for these pansies.

Nope. But I also don't want a guy that is afraid of his own masculinity. I've seen the pu**y whipped men out there; it's a shame. To each his own. I don't care what turns other women on. In my life the most passionate men I've dated were not submissive in any way shape or form. And I wouldn't have it any other way
