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....

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.
