I would say......never. I like equality....but I'm the 51% shareholder. I like to ask for input and consider it. But I almost always regret following it.
If a woman feels the need to stick things in a guy...she needs to keep moving along.
Most of the men I know are passive-sociopaths who plays the submissive role to the hyper-psychotic histrionic woman.

At times I can feel like the dominant 'male' partner, but it would get boring it if was like that ALL of the time. I'm talking in the bedroom or anywhere else, I sort of like the idea of a woman who truly takes charge, not only in a bossy/catty way.
Are most men satisfied to mostly or always be making the moves socially, sexually or otherwise? Do most men feel threatened if the woman starts being the giver instead of the receiver? Do most women sometimes want to be dominant, and do some men even become bisexual to fulfil this need? Does thinking this way make me some kind of 'beta male' in the eyes of some?
I like a woman who likes to take control sometimes, because when she takes control, it shows that she wants me bad enough to take matters into her own hands.
Well I can see the OP's point, while I don't neccessarily feel the need to be dominated I like to NOT have to take charge ALL the time, make all the decisions, and take care of my partner. I don't believe in gender roles and I make sure that my potential partner knows this. I don't feel its my responsibility to be a father figure to an adult woman just because SHE believes that she has to be taken care of 24/7. I like highly independent women. She should be able to sustain with or without me. Theres no "taking charge" in my relationship, just mutual agreements and it works out REALLY well for us.
men don't mind to be lazy, and have the woman play the dominant role of doing all the work in the $3x..
Men don't want to be submissive though. Only gay and bi-curious men would get off on that. Submissiveness goes against regular man's nature.
Totally disagree. Submissiveness is common in both women and men. It is not in the nature of many (most) men to be dominant. The culture pressures them to be dominant.

This is exactly how I feel .
I'm not a chaser...if a woman doesn't seem interested, I'm not interested.

Yeah too often one partner becomes like a parent to the other, and that's unhealthy. Especially when one is quite a bit older than the other, there's a tendancy for one to think they always know best and be the 'mother' or 'father' in the relationship.
