    IME women tend to be drawn to men who possess a characteristic she feels she lacks, be it intelligence, looks, wit, popularity, humour etc etc.

    I think this is why so many women are attracted to confidence in a man (rather than dominance) because, sadly, so many women lack self confidence.

    At the time of typing, 12 people voted and who's to say what gender they are?

    I'd say you know ****-all if the truth be known.

    You are either submissive or dominant.
    They are genetic personality traits.
    You cannot be both. That is why there are only 2 options in the poll.


    so you are saying that a dominant person cannot learn to submissive

    and a submissive person cannot learn to be dominant?

    you have led a very sheltered life OP if you believe that :)

    What about all those captains of industry who pay good money to get tied up and whipped? Do they not have both dominant and submissive personas?

    Interesting point. Also many women are attracted to men who possess the same personality traits as their Fathers. For example if a woman's Father is funny, then they will seek that in a potential partner; often subconsciously without being aware they are doing so. If a woman had a dominant Father, they will typically find submissive men unattractive.

    I think its largely mythical. Tabloid journalism producing salacious stories in order to sell newspapers. I have heard that public school boys who were caned at school enjoy being caned by dominatrix's, but this is fantasy rather than reality.

    You are mistaken.
    The statistics of the poll prove I know a lot about women.

    It's proves nothing except you only like timid women who are willing to do as you say. You are afraid of strong women who know their own mind.

    So i take it your date yesterday didnt go well, J?

    I don't like timid women.
    I actually like confident women that are a challenge to make submissive.
    Afraid of women? No.
    Why would I be afraid of women? Men are the masters. There is nothing to fear.

    i dont think hes afraid of "strong" women, its just an awful lot of pointless extra work and hassle that should just be avoided.

    Probably and i'd say she'll be filling for divorce tomorrow. Loves young dream.

    The weather yesterday was not suitable for Carlingford.
    I am taking my girlfriend for tea and cake tomorrow, as the weather will be more suitable.

    So you like to try kill a woman's confidence and make her do as she's told?

    Well you sound like a catch...

    Bull. People hate being dominated. Thats why people talk **** about their boss, why dictators get removed and why this country had rebellion after rebellion after rebellion.

    Is tea and cake code for something?

    the limits of your poll (ie only have two options) invalidate such a claim

    Yeah, and you're either tall or small, or black or white, or young or old.

    Nothing in between those extremes in Johnny's world. :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    Yes, creating such a thread is exactly the action of a dominant man without fear:rolleyes:

    You seem desperate to assert yourself OP.......on the internet of all places
    ask yourself why that would be? and why chose this particular medium?


    neither answer is the behaviour of a dominant man, sorry.:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,418 ✭✭✭✭hondasam


    I actually like confident women that are a challenge to make submissive.

    why try change them?
    Men are the masters.

    In your little world.

    You reap what you sow.
    It takes hard work and discipline to reach a point where a woman is totally submissive to her master.
    However the pleasure of that effort coming to fruition makes it all worth while.

    It's a big business for something that doesn't exist then!

    I think it's code for rope, slaps and insults.

    With humiliation for dessert.

    Many a true word said in jest.
    I do think one needs to be decisive.
    In society there have to be the decision makers, the leaders, the Shepherd's who lead the sheep.
    Being dominant means taking the lead and being assertive and confident.
    Not all of us can be of the calibre to make the decisions.
    There are those who lead, and those who are led.
    I see things as black and white. There is no room for compromise.
    A woman must conform to a man's demands.
    Men need to define clear roles in a relationship, and assert their role as master.

    Good one! Gone a touch too far though, because no-one is that backward.
