Yeah, agreed, but that's not how human nature is. Women like the domineering ones and the challenge to bring that person under their control. It's how women gain power and influence.
My experience is women who are most outgoing, flirtatious and attractive generally gravitate toward the domineering men. They simply aren't attracted to guys who like to watch Gilmore Girls and knit.
We are descended of a violent past, and being influential and confronting physical threats are what protected the women and children.
I kinda think modern society is depressed and obese partially due to our success in feminizing men. 40% of US women are not just overweight, but obese. It's like they have given up on being attractive to men, and likewise, men have given up on pursuing a woman by not developing strength of character.
