In a relationship, are you more dominant or submissive?

In any relationship I have, it is equal footing.....
One may have strenghts the other doesn't have, and vice versa.

 

That kind of depends on what part of the relationship you are talking about. My personality is definitely more dominant. I do what I want but respect him and keep him in mind when I'm making my plans.

I don't take him for granted because I know I have a strong personality that most people couldn't deal with and he puts up with me every day. I'm thankful that I have someone willing to put up with my shit.

During certain aspects of our relationship (wink wink) I'm submissive. I think because I have such a strong, dominant personality all the time I enjoy giving up all control during certain times.

 

Don't try to find any hidden meaning behind words, sometimes they are just that: words.
In the meantime, we here love ya back. :love:

 

As far as the male/female things goes...I would never want anyone to throw me down and make me go unconscious.....but I do like someone who knows what they are doing....ah, to dream.....lol

 

always building with anything....never tearing someone down to the point of no return.....that life sucks....and you don't even want to live anymore....

 

but the words we choose more often than not hint at our true feelings

if no hidden meaning, why ask the question with such negative connotations?

 

The fact you think it is negative probably says more about you than the question.

 

Seems like you simply turn things around, Bird! But it seems the way you put it is not just/merely/only his opinion but commonly perceived as a negative approach

 

Uhmmm, if that isn't basically negative, then you have a skewed view of positive.

My wife and I enjoy a partnership with neither one needing to be dominant or submissive.
It doesn't need to always be a dichotomy, ya know. :mickey:

 

must be the writer in me........

 

No, you and Noxi see it wrong. It is not negative, it is simply making things black and white. And if you are not a racist, I am sure you also think that black and white living together is not a bad thing.

 

Like I said in my previous post, it was making things black and white. Opposite if you like.
How would you have posed that question in, what is in your opinion, a positive way?

 

Your version;

mine;

"in other words; Do you tend to consider your needs and wants before those of your significant other or do you tend to put the needs of your SO before your own?"

No need to force a choice between selfish asshole and whipping post lacking any self-esteem.:mickey:

That you force the reader into such considerations speaks more of your own dissatisfaction in this area more than anything else.

 

How about if you don't want to pose a boring, meaningless question, but spice it up a little?

 

You mean instead of why you say what for?

 

gifs are making me dizzy

 

I understand.
You purposely use sensationalistic and inflammatory wording in order to evoke the most emotionally charged responses.

so essentially yet another bird troll post.:troll:

 

Nah, if I troll I do it much better than that. This was serious interest in my fellow Random Thinkers.
