I have noticed with past boyfriends including the one I am currently involved with being seen as tough and dominate is a huge thing. Sure they can vary in different ways and they can be more or less caring and understanding, but for example my current bf as well as other past boyfriends really love their shoot/kill and destroy video games. I know it may seem as a minor thing to complain about but to me it just seems like an adolescent male power fantasy, am I the only one?
Imo and basic on my own experience it is really hard work to find a guy who does not want to control or manipulate you, nor want to be a master of the house.
Don't give up for finding a nice one
And no need to tolerate killing games either. There is lot of different games to play or even men who have other hobbies than playing.

Don't be with a one who makes you uncomfortable.
I agree with this and it may be one of the reasons I exhaust men that I attract. I am uncontrollable and want to run my own life. They can conform or not, but I don't change for anyone.
Your example of the need to be "dominating" is shooter games?
I love shooter games, and so does my husband. We both make household decisions pretty equally and I don't ever feel like he controls me. I'm curious what you think a dominating and controlling man is, because from your post it seems like a guy who happens to enjoy shooter games. Meh.
Plenty of guys out there that don't feel the need to outwardly display toughness and domination. I also don't think games have anything to do with it. They have always existed. Oh.. and they are not "confident" men.... more like insecure men.
Most of the game obsessed guys I've run across are usually passive lifers that don't take charge of anything. I do think gaming does suck on the brain... that's a problem.
No I want a confident man that meets me halfway in the relationship. But when we disagree, I have tie breaking authority...

Most men are not attracted to dominant women.
