Sometimes I look at a man and feel something more than just interest in his gaze. Power. Control. A desire to take everything into his own hands. And I increasingly ask myself: why are men drawn to dominating women?

Perhaps it's in their nature. Since ancient times, men have been hunters, protectors, leaders. It is in their nature to be in front, to guide, to provide security. And deep down, they still want to be the ones who “lead.” Not because we are weaker. But because they feel needed when we allow them to be strong.

Sometimes dominance is not about strength in the crude sense. It's about confidence. It's about a man knowing what he wants and being able to show it. It's about his inner need to feel like he's in charge of something — at least in his relationship with the one he loves.

And to be honest... sometimes we ourselves push men toward dominance. When we say, “You decide,” when we want to feel small next to his strength, when we give him the right to lead. Because it's nice to be in reliable hands. Because sometimes you just want to relax, knowing that everything has been thought out, chosen, and arranged for you.

But there is another side to it. Dominance should not turn into control. It should not suffocate us. It should not deprive us of choice and freedom. A man's true strength lies in his ability to dominate with respect. Not to suppress, but to lead. Not to force, but to inspire.

I am not afraid of male strength. I like to feel it close to me. But I want to be with someone who understands that being strong does not mean being harsh. It means being a real man — confident, sensitive, and respectful of my freedom.
