Dunno. Some men, perhaps. And I must admit that I've always been puzzled by the attitudes these "some men" have on the subject of females being aggressive. I've been asked out by women several times, and I always feel flattered. As far as aggressiveness in SOs, I do feel uncomfortable if she initiates *everything*, but then I feel the same way if I perceive that my male friends are initiating all our joint activities.... > > Perhaps women would rather have a "strong" guy? > I've wondered about this. I remember reading somewhere that a poll showed that the single trait that most women found most desirable in men was (no, not the ability to communicate; no, not emotional vulnerability; no, not good looks) SELF-CONFIDENCE.
