is it true that if a man wants a relationship with a woman, he has to take initiative in most situations and be assertive around his lady? ?

Question

I know we have feminism now, but I know that deep down, most women still want a man to take charge and be assertive around her 

Answer 1

Well, either he or she has to take the initiative

assertivity may not be needed, and lots of people don't like to be bossed around

Answer 2

Incorrect. He needs to be strong and protective. There is a difference. 

Answer 3

Not sure how you "know" this. But if you've tried it and you're now in a relationship I guess at least it worked for you. The truth is that not all women want the same thing in a male partner. It's a matter of finding someone who wants what you've got. 

Answer 4

No - it's not true.

If you think you 'know' that's what most women want, you're sadly mistaken and are never going to have a good relationship.

Most women like assertive men, but are also assertive themselves.

Very few women want to be told what to do by a man!

Answer 5

Why do single people think it’s a good idea to ask YA for opinions on relationships.

Seriously, if we had dates we wouldn't be posting here.
