    I'm not talking just in a sexual sense, I'm talking in your relationship(s) which do you prefer your mate to be: more dominant or more submissive?

    Personally I like to go for someone that's in the middle. Someone who's more dominant would make me feel inferior or challenged and someone who's more submissive makes me feel awkward as well. What about you all?

    Someone who's at least as much of a sarcastic smart-ass as I am. I'm not sure if that qualifies as being either dominant or submissive.

    Fortunately, my husband is this.

    One where I can be dominant at the things I'm good at, and the one where my partner can be dominant at the things my partner is good at. And for the ones I'm good at, I will teach my partner how to do it in case I'm not available for whatever reason, and my partner do the same with me.

    I'd rather my partner be slightly more dominant because it's a big turn on for me, but I would also like to take control every so often.

    Weeeell given my lack of experience I'm not sure, but I'd say either somewhere in between or on the dominant side. I'm a rather submissive person in general, so I guess I'd feel kinda weird if I were to be with another submissive person.

    I'd like to be 50-50 as far as the overall relationship control dynamic, but I can be slightly more dominant if I need to be. In bed, I like to be submissive.

    I consider myself a little more on the dominant side, so I guess I prefer someone who is inbetween or slightly more submissive. Both passive and aggressive are attractive to me, but under different conditions.

    When I had a gf I remember feeling particularly uneasy about being the dominant one... I'm honestly more of the passive/submissive kind I guess.

    I think more submissive. I feel like trying to be the dominant one would just wear me out and make me uncomfortable.

    Both, depending on mood. I tend to be more dominant, but there are times I'm very submissive and in that mood as well. I tend to be fairly passive in a relationship, most of my relationships they've worn the pants. But in the bedroom it tends to inverse.

    I'd want someone in the middle, like I am. I wouldn't want to feel like either of us is carrying the relationship. I'm kind of a mix of both. I'm not afraid to flirt, and I can see myself as the "big spoon" lol, but I get flustered easily and don't mind being asked out (it happened once!). All in all, I'd prefer an equal. :slight_smile:

    Probably in the middle for me as well. Though, I wouldn't mind if my partner tried to be dominant. I would be funny as hell. As long as I can just laugh my ass off with that person, then I'm good.

    I agree with you.
