Also, look at their other thread. Something about, "Do men really want to be married?" He's just here to stir the pot; cause a ruckus. lol
Well, seems to me if he can't find himself a woman who wants to be bossed around, he doesn't have to worry about her wanting him to marry her, so his problems are solved. Unless both threads were created to randomly whine about imaginary uncooperative women, but that would be silly.

Leadership is not about domination or knocking someone down, it's about someone else having total trust in you to do the right thing. With that said, there are leaders and there are followers in both genders, it is not something that is gender specific. Not everyone actually is comfortable in being a leader, and there is nothing wrong with that. The military is a prime example. Not everyone is obviously cut out to be a Patton, Eisenhower. Grant or Lee.

This is fundamentally incorrect.

Sorry
Being real and being feminine have nothing to do with wanting the man to lead, or even being subservient in any way.

It's not incorrect, it's the way it is. No two people in a friendship or any other type of relationship can be truly equal. It doesn't work like that. There's always a difference in the way that two people behave towards each other. It's impossible for two people to need each other for the exact same reasons and to the same extent. Being led by a man is a fundamental part of being feminine. Animals know it, dancers know it, everyone outside the western world knows it.

You're confused, as most of your posts show. Here, let me help you:
Things do not need to be exactly identical to be equal.
Throw away the idea that they do, and you'll be better off.
And no, being led my a man is not a fundamental part of being feminine. And no, many animals don't "know it", since they don't practice it. There is a wide variety of courtship and mating systems in the animal kingdom, in many of them the males do not lead.
Best to stick to speaking about what you know, like 60s sitcoms.

You're wrong on all counts, for reasons which you will never understand. I'd sit this one out if I were you.
I'm just curious: what happened to you that you wanted to lead and the woman didn't let you? Did you try OLD and the woman wanted to pick the restaurant? Is there an actual woman involved in this thread, who did something to upset you, or is this just some sort of vague commentary on unspecified women in general?
