Men and Women: What Is Their Natural Power Relationship? (A ThreadThat Is Not About... ) (181)
I don't honestly think there is an actual answer to your question. Every man and woman wants something different. For example I am a very independent woman so couldn't be with a guy that wants a needy or dependent woman. Some women have to have children to feel complete; I have never felt that. Everyone is looking for something different so this can only be answered by each individual on what they want. One can not generalize on what a man or woman wants in a relationship or even what they want in life.

Ambrose2007: Observing some of the recent posting behavior here got me to thinking about how men and women tend to think differently and what, exactly, is it that we are looking for from each other in terms of meeting very basic emotional needs.
Are men naturally leaders in a romantic relationship, or should relationships be gender-blind - that is, should the dynamics of the relationship involve exactly reciprocal needs and actions?
How much can we say about the differences between men and women's attitudes that is actually related to gender (if anything)?
Does a conflict exist between "socially correct" views of men-women relationships and the emotional reality of these relationships?
What do men need from women and vice versa?
Are women less logic-minded in general than men, or do the two genders approach reasoning differently in any substantive respect?
These and many other corollary questions await answers from the many brilliant men and women here on CS.

I don't think there is a standard answer to this. Because we are all different, we all have different needs. Some relationships work when one is the more dominant, regardless of gender. Some relationships work when one person allows the other to be dominant
Different strokes for different folks I guess.Hope your well.

The truth is an imperative.

Ccincy: I have a bigger brush then you.Men and women are so complex and Ambross seems to ask complex questions.
Ya, they think they are.
Thinking is a dangerous thing for some. Are you asking to see my brush?

Can integrity exist without truth?
I don't think so. It would be more accurate imo to say that not all truth need be told by The Dominant (male or female) but the submissive,(male or female) you are right, must be totally undressed in all meanings of that word.
Don't argue with Me or I'll pee on your fence.

"XY" versus "XX" chromosones. There ARE differences.
Since we have moved away from men having to go knock down a mammoth (and they are damn tricky critters to bring down) whilst the women and children stayed behind, societal conditioning has allowed for a great deal of "masking" of this genetic "hard-wiring to occur. When these "differences" are accepted and understood, the questions as to what men and women really want from each other can possibly be formulated.

Integrity should stand as the opposite of hypocrisy and as you said ,"not all truth need to be told by the dominant"..as long as the Man is the dominant ...

Well, you're certainly someone I've been curious about with respect to this question, Single.
I seem to recall that your current decision was based on a very bad relationship - one that placed you in a more or less distrustful place regarding men (please refresh my memory if I'm wrong...have been a tad distracted of late
).Here's a question I have, drawn from my romantic experiences (please note "experiences" as a general not specific reference!!). When you have a woman's trust, they are far more inclined to allow you to assume what I'll call traditional male roles. What is a "traditional male role"? I'm not glad you asked that question.
Seriously, I'm referring to the role of "wearing the pants" in a family - being the primary decision-maker and so forth. Perhaps that role might be stretched to dominance/or being domineering - and that's part of what I want to discuss here...the distinction (or if you believe there is a distinction?
)...but I don't necessarily believe that being a leader in a relationship is a bad thing.So...when your relationship was good, did you feel the desire for independence, or did that desire begin to crystallize as your relationship deteriorated?
In other words - and this is for all women here - how much of your desire to be "independent" derives from an innate desire to avoid "masculine direction" in your life as opposed to a mate you no longer trust? Could "masculine leadership" feel wrong when you stop trusting your man, or does it feel wrong period?

Hey, J!
When I think of more traditional male-female roles I often think of you and your mate.
Do you feel your man should be the primary decision-maker in your family? Or do you feel that should be exactly 50%?
