men in charge?

As a young guy I must ask the older gentleman on the forum if there was ever a time when men were in charge of the relationship rather than the women? Seems like the majority of relationships now women are in control and the man is just some pathetic weakling that gives in to whatever she wants. If there was such a time, what the hell happened?! Seeing such punk ass men that refer to their women as "the boss" is really starting to piss me off!!

In the US, women control approximately 50% of all wealth and 100% of all pussy. Who do you think is in charge?

Perhaps no one should be "in charge." Why not be a partnership? You know, equal.

That doesnt exist. There is always someone dominant. That is just how people interact with each other. There is always one person stronger than the other

You seem alpha to me.


Well, not really. Anyone so concerned about this is only concerned due to being the sub. Just saying.

I can tell you from personal experience that this is wholly incorrect. I have no idea how common it is, given I only have my own relationship from which to judge, but there doesn't have to be a one-person-dominant structure in a relationship. You can be equal partners.

I tend to be the dominant one in my relationships. I think it really just depends on your personality and who you date. My bro and dad are the same way with their wives.

I always trip out when I my cousin calls his wife "the boss". "I have to ask my boss if it is okay I can go out with you, rex". I know it is more of a way of giving his wife respect, but I just shake my head everytime he does it.

A for me, well, I can only be me and be with women who will accept who I am. Best compliment my attorney girlfriend said to me was "rex, you know how to put me in check without me knowing you are putting me in check". I am not saying I am some super alpha bad ass, but I know my role/worth as a man, and I try to convey to any woman I am dating that what you see is what you get from me.

However, I manage an office where the majority of the staff are women. Most of my gals have boyfriends/husbands who make less than them. I cringe when I hear the way they talk to their significant others over th phone.

Umm, it depends, sometimes men are in charge if the relationship. Or sometimes they are both dominant and there will be a fair amount of conflict. It's true however that a few decades ago, men had more power in relationships, that's not, however, necessarily a good thing.

I've been there done that as BMIC with womenz, but it doesn't make for relationship material. Any girl who doesn't throw her weight around a bit normally doesn't hold my interest much longer than a few fucks. I need her to butt heads with me, make demands, etc. or I'll get bored in a hurry.

You sure it's not just joking? I sound like an abusive dick and my girl sounds like a flaming cunt sometimes when we're talking. It's all joking, but it's the nature of the relationship.

Meh, my woman is successful career woman, so I would hardly call her a push over. However, in our relationship, she likes to be (using her words) "lead". Don't get me wrong; I am not the bossy type, I would call us a good team, and I do not like making decisionas unitarily, but I do like to make decisions.

It has been really interesting supervising women. I was a little too tough when i first started the job (they nick named me SGT Rex), but a year in to this new gig, I have built a good relationship with the staff. Good enough that they feel comfortable to tell me about their personal problems.
