Lots of hetero women are turned on by controlling, dominating men.

Such as Nigella Lawson. The attraction is real and relevant -and very politically incorrect.

Powerful and rich too.

by Anonymousreply 1July 2, 2013 1:56 PM

But not abusive ones, OP.

In addition, about 10% of women are primarily dominant and turned on mainly by submissive men (I am one of those women).

As are a lot of homosexual men.

Anyway these men have to have power as well, a controlling dominating man who washes dishes for a living wont find too many women. Money and power are the turn ons for most women.

I'm a straight woman. I also consider myself a feminist and in theory I would wan't to fall for a man based solely on his intellect, humour and beliefs, preferably someone who shared my views on gender equality, feminism and the deconstruction of the gender hierarchy.

In reality I do find these qualities favourable in potential partners but if there isn't any attraction it's to no use. And the most attractive men to me are tall, built men that according to others give off a macho vibe. I live in Sweden and most guys here make me sick. Looking through some of my male class mates instagrams make me lose hope for ever finding a partner. I've had lots of attractive guys come onto but when I've looked through their online personas I've been put off. Lots of pictures showing off their pecs in wife beaters, lying half naked in a tanning booth, shopping trips, looking in to the camera with a "fuck me" look and pouting their lips in every single picture, pics of their celebrity idols, pics with the bros where each and every "bro" is arching his back, squinting his eyes and doing a duckface.

They are so superficial too, following every ridiculous fashion trend, getting swept up by the latest media currents. I wan't a real man, not a mindless sheep. Someone who exudes, security and confidence. Who's thoughts are occupied with goals of his future, his family, politics and things with depth. I'm sick of all the effeminate, shallow brand whores around me and find myself looking more and more to guys outside my circle of "hipsters" and "party people".

Some of the newer immigrants seem to not have fallen for the cult of celebrity worshipping. I would have been put off by their gray track suits, hoodies and buzz cuts but now a day nothing raises my pulse more. There is still hope thanks to some of the lighter-skinned arabs and slavic boys.

I'm actually the child of immigrants myself. I have a preference for light eyes, squinty eyes, dark hair and round faces. Alot of the lighter arabs share the same features that some of the slavs do. It's just a question of personal taste, I find men of all races attractive but only the guys with the features listed above have rendered me weak at the knees and raised my pulse only by looking at them attraction. I also like the feeling of being slammed against a wall, wrists pinned down by a strong pair of hands, hair pulling etc.

There's a big difference between being turned on by a guy and wanting a relationship with him.

Hell, yes, I want a dominant man when it comes to sex -- bondage, submission, all that stuff turns me on.

No way would I want to get into a real-life relationship with someone like that though. In a relationship I want respect and affection.

So I guess my ideal situation would be to have a supportive main partner, but meet a guy on the side for dirty, nasty sex.

OP, you are looking at it from the front angle. Lawson's husband is obviously a high-functioning sociopath. Sociopaths attract romantic partners not because they initially project the threat of violence or control/domination, but because during the courting/luring phase, sociopaths go out of their way to make you feel like the most important person in the world: extravagant gifts, favors, attention, etc. At the same time, they project confidence and security, which many people, men and women, see as the ideal qualities in a long-term mate.

Then, you marry them, and the nightmare begins.

Lots of hetero men are turned on by controlling, dominating women. But they're even less likely to admit their preference for submission than women are, it's socially unacceptable for a man to be so "unmanly".

Remember that, the next time you want to "rescue" a straight man from a nasty, domineering woman. He married that woman because he LIKES that kind of relationship, even if he complains about her.

Women are brainwashed since they are little to defer to men, be submissive to them and value anything male-identified above all else even if it comes at their own expense.

r35: by simply not valuing, assigning overinflated importance or ridiculing anything male identified (such as sports, spots stars, guns, superhero movies, pathological greed, ruthless egoism, misogyny, etc.). Displaying no interest and/or overinvestment in attaching herself to a man, and generally showing a greater interest in her own life and well-being than that of her male partner, male family members and male offspring.

And no, if the participants are willing in the sexual act-then I fail to see the problem.

It is interesting to see the dichotomy of sub/dom cultures.

Usually, I see the most quiet shy reserved person, very timid, get sexually aroused by dominating someone. And the reversal of an aggressively dominant personality in the real world get turned on by being a submissive.- it isn't about sex, or gender, it is about control. Giving in or giving it up.

women can dominate if they find the right guy. it has nothing to do with gender stereotypes.

Rape and abuse happens, but the resulting impact varies according to the individual receiving it. Not all psychological makeup is the same.

Some can lash out in anger/rage, others hyper-sexual(as stereotyped), or non-sexual at all-repressive/anxious about sex as it reminds them of the act.

Women go through phases just like anybody else. When I was less confident in myself, I was attracted to dominant monkey types because they make you feel very desired.(Never mind that most of the time, those guys are just WAY into their own cocks more than they are into you)

Then I fell in love with a man who wished to be submissive and honey, I never looked back. It's nice to have the control as well as have all your drinks refreshed.

Again, R54, very few straight men are willing to admit that they like having a dominant wife, because it's not socially acceptable. So a man who spends his time at home serving his alpha-female wife will probably complain about her bossiness to his fellow straight males, and then go home and obey her like a good boy.

Of course there are men who blunder into these femdom relationships and aren't happy, but plenty more are there because that's what they really want.

I agree with r36. At least gay men are pretty much up front about what it is we truly want. I find that a lot of young women set up a lot of psychological detours around what it is they are looking for in partners, instead of cutting to the chase. That would drive me insane if every gay guy was like that. A lot of these mental detours are set up by patriarchal structures in society r41. I think gay men are usually trying to make sense of our lives as outsiders of the patriarchal structure, and women are trying to change it so it works well for their individual relationships.

I didn't want to read all the bullshit on this thread, so if I'm repeating what someone else posted, forgive me. Lots of *people* (including some gay and straight men) like to be dominated sexually. This preference is not an excuse for these people to be abused! Because being dominated in bed (a game, which has specific rules and safe words that are worked out beforehand between the sexual partners) is not the same as being choked in a restaurant (a crime for which the assailant should serve time in jail, whether he's the partner of his victim or not). I would think anyone who is not a total idiot would get that.

I fail to see the contradiction or "mixed signals." As long as you're up front with your partner about what you like in bed and that you don't want that spilling over into any other aspect of your life together, I don't see the problem.

Sometimes I like my partner to be dominating and controlling, and sometimes I like to flip roles and scenarios so he'll be the submissive one (which he enjoys). Does this mean he doesn't really want to be equal to me and that I get to smack him and order him around outside the bedroom? No, of course not. We both understand that what happens in the bedroom is separate from everything else. One is role-playing, one is real life. It shouldn't be difficult to distinguish between the two.

People never seem to be able to separate women from their sexuality. As a straight girl I know this all to well. I used to be the epitome of the typical madonna in the madonna/whore dichtomy. I was an anorexic, modest clothing, shy, never cussed, soft spoken, "natural" makeup etc and guys used to put me on a pedistal and while they would push for sex they could hardly believe themselves when when we did and would feel guilty afterwards for "ruining" me.

I literally had a guy start crying and apologizing after he came on my face. Even though he had talked about it lots before and I was game and willing, afterwards he said he didn't like "seeing me that way", in other words he didn't like seeing me as a sexual being doing sexual things. Things were never the same between us after that.

Women do not respect any husband who allows themselves to be henpecked or dominated. You see this a lot, so-called feminist wives who castrate their husbands only to possess the most miserable frowns on their faces.

My sister, a real ball-breaker, has confided to me that she is just waiting for her hubby to wake up and stand up for himself. She does not respect him, yet he pays the bills, keeps a good job, helps out with the kids, cleans up the house, and scrapes and bows before her majesty the queen.

She seems to hate him more and more every year, as if she resents having to play the man's role in the relationship as the bossy one.

I have seen her walk up to another man and hug him, openly, at a party with her husband present.

If there isn't mutual respect--and this goes for domineering husbands as well--there is a great likelihood of cheating.

I'm know for a fact that my sister is sniffing around for another man. I know that he "bores her." I also know that she will not leave him because he makes a good living and schleps around for her.

Regular sex, someone who will drop everything to hangout when they feel like it, go out with, pass the time on boring days and ocf for unconditional emotional support. I feel sorry for their gf's. Ugh.

Straight women will put up with almost anything just to get their hooks in a guy for three reasons.

1. They MUST HAVE a gawdawful "Fairy Princess" wedding.

2. They will simply DIE if they have to admit being single another moment.

3. They want to quit their jobs and have a man support them financially.

In reality, most people are boring. Their relationships are boring. Their lives are boring.

Oftentimes I find myself enthralled with viewing the boring lives of average schmoes.

Alpha Males are hot.

I think men just get provoked by the non-stop demands, whining, passive aggression, game-playing, "guess what I'm thinking and feeling," am-I-fat crap, jealousy, and the rest of what it means to attempt to remain in proximity to a woman. Yes, some men are controlling and dominating. But women take every male personality as an I'll-control-Daddy-and-make-him-pay starting point to get what they demand, which often changes from day to day.

So be a little kinder about straight men. They are, after all, the people who are biologically cursed to be attracted to these psycho messes.

[quote]The admission that lots of women crave alpha male aggressiveness certainly complicates domestic violence policy.

No it doesn't and it's not a particularly high percentage of straight women and gay men who want that in a partner, anyway.

The key is consent. If a woman wants to get her ass kicked in bed or out - fine (although the state may step in if family or neighbors call 911 and they may not give a shit that anyone consented). If she doesn't want that and he does it anyway, that's domestic violence. The same thing goes for men who want their asses kicked and for those who don't.

It is also possible to consent at times and at other times not consent. Its acceptability is always a matter of consent.

If this seems too complex for you, stay the fuck out of relationships that involve this kind of behavior at any time.

I'll admit something on the DL that very few people know about me, even among my inner circle.

I am married to two men for several years now. In two different states. Only married to one legally, of course, and the other as "common law". Neither of the families or friends of these men know about the other.

I am able to split my time with them somewhat equitably.

The man I'm married to is a passive, nebbish, physically unappealing PhD. He couldn't dominate a mouse. My private nickname for him is scarecrow.

The man I'm in a common law marriage with is very dominant, sexual, puts me in chokeholds a few times a year with the occasional black eye. He is uneducated, has zero self-esteem, a hot body and handsome face, and barely any brains. We have an amazing time together. I consider him the love of my life.

Actually a lot of controlling dominating men are turned on by dominating women. And men.

by Anonymousreply 101October 1, 2013 12:29 AM

Are dominant, macho straight guys or alpha-women really that tough? It's no big afford to maintain self confidence if you've resided on top of the food chain your entire life and you've never experienced any real trauma or hardship.

You should see those alpha-males (or alpha-women), once they hit middle age and they start to deteriorate mentally and physically. Or once they've experienced the horrors of war.

There are a lot of veterans who entered the war thinking they were invincible (after all they were the shit in the microcosm of their highschool and small town) only to return a few years later as wraiths of their former selves, crippled by PTSD, anxiety and misanthropy.

To me people who've been unwanted, unpopular or disabled all their lives, yet manage to make it through without becoming addicts or damaged are considerably more tougher.

And what's so wrong about feeling insecure? It seems natural to me that people feel insecure at times, after all, death, disease and misfortune will happen to all of us sooner or later.

That's why militaries have always used young males as their foot soldiers, as young as is feasible for their culture.

People who are capable of realism and common sense don't make good soldiers.

by Anonymousreply 110October 1, 2014 2:53 AM

Dear r34,

The way r35 describes to "break the paradigm" is how a cruel, unloved and bitchy cunt would do it.

Truth is, r35's woman is not likely to have a "male partner" or "male offspring" by showing no interest in their well-being or never giving them things they want. She'd have to be super hot or rich or something, and that's never going to be the case for ALL WOMEN, whom r35 wants to direct.

Your best chance at success of "breaking the paradigm" is to succeed at activities untraditionally expected of women or valued by men, especially if they produce income. This could be leading a business, or simply excelling at that business's prerogatives and skills.

That means competing with men in fair and respectable ways, and you don't need anyone else's "closed club" to shame them.

Because society is stupid, overvalues athletics and wastes so much of its time and money on them, you could impress most of society by excelling in athletics. Many lesbians do women proud in this area.

But don't do it unless you genuinely like, appreciate and value the activity, along with all its responsibilities.

Running for President for the purposes of defying men is not commendable or virtuous. Running for President for the purposes of serving, protecting and providing for the general welfare of the American people IS. Defying men should be considered a fringe benefit.

Don't let a feminist shame you for enjoying a submissive life or being traditional wife or mother if you're happy and successful that way, either.

I did the d/s thing for a few years. I think women like a man who sticks to his principles even when women (at first) make it seem like it will cost hom sex. Establish dominance (doesn't require money or power, btw, just intellect), and you get a woman who never sys no, puts out anytime you want, and it can be nice, but after a while it gets boring.

The women are often very fucked up, and they really have the power, since they can reframe it as abuse long after the fact. is it abuse? Maybe, maybe not, but if it's what women want, men whogive it to them will get laid.

Many submissive women are sick of men who put up with any level of their shit in the hope of getting laid, so they seek out a Daddy type who will put them in their place.

One has taken on writing Red/Liz (The Blacklist) fan fiction. Red, a solicitous alpha male, especially to Liz would NEVER do that on the show. This writer has Liz saying things like, "he made me feel like trash, like he owns me! I hope this never ends" and when she's injured on the job, pressing his fingers into her wounds at the hospital to punish her. It's truly sick. I don't mean in a judgmental way but for someone to inject that into a relationship that's the opposite. There are some women who like that, being hit and cursed at by men turns them on. There are usually daddy issues that are, in my healthy ways played out in the bedroom but are so severe they have to actually LIVE a live where their life is a "scene" 24/7. Like making your boyfriend say the things your molester said to get off.
