That's kind of impossible because there is not right or wrong answer to that. It's not really yes or no but a lot of circumstances and different life experiences so at best its more of a agree to disagree rather that an absolute answer.

And men only approach certain women.

Unless they want to get laid, then they'll approach every woman and hope one gives in.

True.

Personally, I prefer men who have the confidence to go after what they want in life and that includes them having the confidence to go after the type of woman that they want. I prefer a man that want to wear the pants and be head of the household. I do not want a man who wants a woman to always have to be in control. I prefer traditional roles on my romantic relationships.

Depends on the motives, you're right. A man who wants to get laid will approach a woman regardless. A woman who wants access to a man's wallet will be approachable.

Cool! I don't hear many women really want to be the ones who cook and clean (traditional roles) for their man while he is the head of the household (decision maker, etc.) .

That is fine if you are traditional nothing wrong with that.

But what with the extreme. I don't see how those other guys fall into want women to always be in control.
I pretty sure in most relationships even traditional ones there is just one spouse who is always the one in control with some exceptions. I might have taken out of context but I think even in traditional relationships are more egalitarian than people give them credit for.

I wouldn't. It's just my style. If that meant I ended up alone then so be it. Thank goodness for cats and for channels in the 300s in that case.

Basically, some men love it when women ask them out because then they don't have to do any "work". They already know that she likes him/thinks he's attractive/will have sex with him...even if he's not really into her. Most men are not going to turn down what basically amounts to potentially easy sex.

And also you did take my comments a bit out of context because my statement was not about "control" but about the dynamics of a relationship (which are established at the start of a relationship)

I think this is another agree to disagree.
If the attraction is mutual I don't think the word "work" does not really fit in my opinion.

Also I can't cosign to the dynamics of the relationship are established at the start. I mean if a woman asked me out and I accepted that suddenly means she the bread winner and leader. Sorry cali my brain cells can't process that right there. I don't see it that way but some people do makes no sense to me but the world would be boring if everybody followed the same script as long as we don't belittle others about it.
