Why are there no dominant women?

Some of we men get sick and tired of having to lead. Just for once can't you women just take charge?

    Well there are some dominant women, but I would agree that there are far fewer than men.

    The reason is probably that men are more cut out for being dominant. They're physically stronger and have lots of testosterone. And I also think that if you can find a nice submissive woman, you won't want dominance from her anymore. Being dominant will feel too good to wanna give up.

    my definition: dominant - in relation to a man, means having the ultimate say, or control, if you like. if i said to my man hey regardless of what you think, we are going to this restaurant anyway and he goes, oh right ok, even though i dont really want to, then yeah then i am being dominant. as opposed to being submissive you know aggressive - in bed? lol oh yeah men love this. sometimes. lol aggressive i would think being active and initiative. sometimes this just gotta be the case considering the fact that alot of men these days prefer to chicken out on alotttt of things

    Taking charge isn't the same as babysitting.

    But if you want to see more dominant women, do your part to not perpetuate gender stereotypes like this one :)

  • I'm dominant, but in my experience, most men don't like it except maybe in the bedroom...and even then that's iffy.

    There are dominant women.

    If you're talking about sex, one study of BDSM practitioners found that 27.5% of women preferred being sexually dominant to being sexually submissive, and another found that 11.4% of women were sexually dominant*.

    If you're talking about politics and business, most medical services managers and HR managers are female**, and women make up 40% of managers overall. And there are plenty of female politicians.

    There are. I thought that they had dating sites for passive guys who like these types of women.
