A strong woman requires a strong man


I can agree with that because a strong will understand a strong woman

Seems I gravitate towards a women with a quick wit and is outspoken these traits satisfy both my alpha and beta personality being able to give up control or take control

Long time member haven't posted in a while, I would like a woman's opinion on this I have finally read the 50 shades of gray book, I know a little late, what prompted me to read said book, I kept hearing so much about it from friends and coworkers,(most of my coworkers are female) seriously ladies is there any truth in this book, are women actually wanting men to be more dominant in western society, do you believe woman's liberation has taken away an essential element in male/female relationships.

Now I was always raised to believe to conduct myself as a gentleman at all times in or out of a relationship,however I do feel that we have lost something over the years as gender rows are becoming more and more confusing, I do find however as far as dating goes most women still expect the male to pay for said date open doors for them and in other words conduct ourselves as gentlemen,also it is still left up to the man to decide where and when on said date.

Do woman really want men to act as cavemen from time to time, by the way I am considered by many to be very alpha on the surface, my occupation requires me to act in this manner, however I consider myself about 30 percent alpha and 70 percent beta, I can be very alpha when it is necessary, some have even told me that I have a very scary look in my eyes when I become that way.



You're going to hate me here in a few...

First off you are relying on a book, second off you are relying on the women you know...Few in comparison to the wider picture, if I can add. Perhaps, and this might sound a little crazy, but maybe those women are not for you?

Diversity and all that jazz, you don't have to like it or agree with it...Because it doesn't give a damn what you think.

The books are mainly s/m related...the D/s part hasn't been a big one, and what's been labeled as such was a rather controling than dominating thing.


A submissive and a masochist is not the same...same goes for the sadist and dominant.

Whenever there is pain and/or humiliation involved, it's s/m and not D/s.


However, a D/s related couple might as well add s/m to their relationship and vice versa, but it's not necessarily to do so, unless the people involved are into both...which doesn't have to be the norm.


The male main character was having issues with women, and he wasn't really a dominant by nature, but more a sadist and control freak.

Idk dude. I just seen it as a passing fad and nothing more. There's nothing worse than some book or article thinking it speaks for all. I didn't really see what all the hype was about. I think whoever wrote it, got the attention they were after. That being exposure. If you ask me, most stuff has already been done, which is why nothing could shock me anymore. If anyone was to cause total outrage, or hype, then it would have to be something way different that hasn't been thought of before.
