Or, would you say most women actually perfer submissive men?

To be more specific, I'm talking about men who are submissive in their role in the relationship as a partner and also sexually.

It's an interesting, I guess, maybe taboo sort of topic that I would like opinions on.

Thank you for reading.

One important factor regarding submissives: 2 submissive people, regardless of how attracted they are to each other, are less likely to connect due to their submissive nature. in my opinion, people in general want a dominant person to take charge, excluding sociopaths/psychopaths, due to human laziness.

as for women specifically, from what i've seen the majority tend to be submissive, so that goes back to my first point, but also they usually don't seem to care as long as the guy is over 6 feet tall, has immaculate teeth and they get some kind of benefit from it (money, free meals or rides, status, jewelry etc.) but my opinion there will probably get me all sorts of probably deserved hate. This is mostly theoretical. I'm speculating because I tend to be on the submissive side and i'm jaded as fuck, so take anything I say as worth a grain of salt.

This is a good point. I’m in my early 40s now, and my resolution for this year is to be there for people.

I finally realized it’s not that nobody wants to hang out with me. It’s that nobody wants to hang out with anyone, and the world is losing initiative-taking in general.

So I decided I’m going to be the one to take responsibility for making things happen in terms of getting people together.
