Relationships generally work better if one of the spouses are dominate. I know in my most of my dating experiences if I dated someone who had similar personality characteristics , I tend to think they were too controlling for me. I think most relationships work well that way too!

I agree. Some people are happier being led and some are happy leading. All successful teams have leaders and followers.

I agree too. I don't like being the dominant one. It makes me feel like a man.
Please pants are for pansies real men wear kilts.j/k
Seriously though my will be my tag team partner we are the tag team champions of the world and just let our own strengths assist each other in the relationship. No leader at all more of a zin harmony kind of thing no need to worry about who is dominant or submissive unless its some kinky nonsense.
Just to throw this in I have noticed a lot when this comes up like if the guy is in charge and women follows no bats an eye but the opposite happens and everyone loses their mind.
The man is "suppose" to be the "head of the house."
Sadly, women, children, pets etc. have taken over that position reeking havoc on the traditional family.
Is this a joke? (I'm going by your user name...)
I didn't really think anyone still thought this way outside of Leave It To Beaver and Father Knows Best reruns.
My wife and I are on equal footing. We make big decisions together, When we have a disagreement, we resolve it with love and reason, and use our 20 years of experience with each other to understand the other person's point of view and rationale.
I didn't marry to have a woman subservient to me. My wife is not on a lower rung of the ladder in our home.
My wife is not a second class citizen in our home.
If other people have relationships where the man "puts his foot down" or "what I say goes" or where the woman "rules the roost" that's fine. Whatever works for each couple.
I just didn't think the idea that "the man is head of house" was commonly held in this day and age.
while I would love to say ours is perfectly 50/50, it is not. I am not a pushover, but I do understand the old saying "if mama ain't happy, no one is happy" and know when to give her her way without my having to dwell on it. when it is a big decision to be made, we talk it out and find mutual ground IF we even disagree on it at all. and yeah, some minor things I do stand my ground and she stews on it for a bit, but the thing is no matter which one of us "wins" we both know it is not worth fighting over and don't dwell on it.
I agree. Some people are happier being led and some are happy leading. All successful teams have leaders and followers.
Yep, I agree. I am one of those people happy to be a follower. I am just happy and fulfilled in a "support role" and stressed out and miserable in a leadership role. I feel I am part of a team with a man I love and I like the man to be the team leader. And yeah, I suppose that makes me more traditional when it comes to gender roles.
I should point out though, there is a difference between a leader and a boss or bully. And because I support, doesn't mean I am "subservient." There is a difference.
Well, when new vehicles come up and stuff like that it should be discussed. Where to put your 401k.....stuff like that.
It's only right and fair.
I'm referring to the things women don't or won't do, yet still wear the pants.
When I saw a guy at Sears begging to buy a tool.....that was enough for me.
Just get on your hands and knees and cry like a toddler why don't you.....you P****! lol
You are talking about women from an older generation. Most women today have no such problems with being informed and educated enough to make such decisions. I can't imagine deferring decisions about cars and 401ks to another. I'm not married, so it isn't an issue for me, but even if I was, such decisions would be made jointly.
There are those who like to lead, and there are those who like to be led. And then there are those who share the lead and reach mutual decisions. Neither of us wears the pants in our relationship. We are a partnership of equals. We both talk things over and come up with a mutual conclusion. I tend to be dominant by nature, but after spending many years with my husband, the best decisions are those that are made jointly vs. acquiescence.
As for who is going to defend who if one is accosted on the street? We live in Texas, where both sexes carry
