Johnwain: I like assertive,strong and even bold women.If for aggressive you mean the bossy,confrontational,argumentative type, no thank you !
What do you define as confrontational and argumentative? Because some guys call women who don't just nod their heads and agree with whatever their guys say though they really disagree as confrontational and argumentative... There's a difference between easy going and apparent lobotomy.
solitare: Excellent retort!! Aggressive/ assertive are loaded terms without any parameters being defined. From my perspective, both by experience and observation many women simply can't understand the differences between aggressive/assertive and most of all, the unflattering trait of arrogance which usually causes them to lose a multitude of potential relationships. Some never seem able to learn the subtle differences let alone the timing. The last thing any relationship needs is a contest of egos and/or domination of one to the other; it kills genuine respect for both...imo
I do agree with You ssolitare, so do agree with "good relationship" has something to do with give and take, good communication skills, and no ego boasting.. I respect your post...
craig63: i am probably old fashioned but i think a lady should be a lady and a gentlemen should be a gentlemen
You and I my friend is in "old school" not only pertains to men and women...these would be practice in the whole universe/world about the word "respect" and treating each others what we would be treated..

yes Pandora, i know what you mean.I've been with the geisha type and did like much.And I've been with the arrogant type and did not work out for long.As always a well balanced person,strong but with common sense,intelligent enough not to be arrogant or a doormat is what a call a good partner...at least potentially
Johnwain: well if you comply only with things you agree is not really compliance is it ? that's what an aggression is ...an act of non compliance
No, that's called having a backbone and self respect. Expecting someone to comply with something you want even when they don't agree with it is aggression... dare I say asshol!shness.
