Why would a dominant man need to be afraid of a women's temper?

Question

My last question about how not to attract submissive men got me thinking...Someone said that a "self-confident or assertive man" wouldn't want to deal with people acting "ugly", who get annoyed, or who have a temper.

Everybody gets mad at some point in their life. Even the sweetest people out there (some of the sweetest people you meet actually do have bad tempers if provoked). Having a temper or getting annoyed doesn't mean you turn into a maniac that goes out shooting everyone. Being angry is a human emotion, and it's what we have to face.Why would a "confident and assertive" man walk out of the door just b/c his girl gets angry? Don't you think a dominant and assertive man need NOT be afraid of a women's anger? Don't you think he would know how to deal with it? He may even know how to calm his girl's anger. My two exes are dominant, and they're not scared of my temper. They even know how to quiet me down or make me feel dumb (I enjoy that personally).

Answer 1

I guess it is within the normal limits of human behavior to seek out dominant partners.  The more usual man leaves the dominant feature in his late 20s or early 30s.   It is what some people call growing into maturity.  I don't feel less masculine because I do not assert my will on my female mate.  We are adults.  In that context, we each know what is important to the other.  You should rollover on an issue where your feelings are minimal to none.  I will always get an accommodation from my female mate if I just say it is important to me.  And visa verse.  Equality and respect are a foundation of a functional relationship.  I think.

Answer 2

Confident and assertive males may or may not be dominant, and will decide for themselves if they want to deal with the hassle of a female going psycho on them and whether or not she's worth it.

A dominant guy may be willing to put up with it, or view it as a challenge to control this woman's temper & outbursts.  

Also, isn't it really "topping from the bottom" to let your temper flare in the hopes that the guy is going to control you? A confident and assertive guy knows when he's being played. Whether or not he plays along is HIS choice.

Answer 3

Tell me about it. It just shows how little confidence one really has when they refuse to be with someone who actually is confident.
