Or, would you say most women actually perfer submissive men?

To be more specific, I'm talking about men who are submissive in their role in the relationship as a partner and also sexually.

It's an interesting, I guess, maybe taboo sort of topic that I would like opinions on.

Thank you for reading.

Far more effective than avoiding pain is learning to take it and keep moving. The former reduces one’s territory to ever smaller sizes. The latter expands one’s territory.

So yeah. Go ask people out. Take the risks, get rejected, open up again. If you can. If you can’t you’re fucked, so it’s best to assume you can and keep trying as if it will work. Because you never lose a moment by trying.
