You’ve lost me. Why wouldn’t I ask my partner what she feels like? Is asking questions not a part of social skills?

Everyone hates on the guy, but he's right. An average heterosexual relationship is between an overly sure person and a follower. There's some hormonal explanation to it, I believe.

By observing perfectly normal happy heterosexual partnerships you'll see exactly that dynamic. One person mostly decides, the other mostly accepts. And they're both happy.

I had the luxury of asking some fairly smart and self-aware women why they behave like that with me, instead of trying to have an equal relationship, and their answer was that they simply like it that way. They like the comfort of things being taken care of and decided swiftly and confidently. And regularly their partner would do just that. They thought it was absolutely fine and actually pretty attractive.

Lemmy is a queer/progressive echo chamber, so the 95% of the population reality seems wrong and someone expressing its normality without over-explaining gets downvoted. Like the guy you were replying to. But in fact, it's a solid dating advice for the majority out there.
