The Ultimate Body Language Book

Many sexual cues are submissive in nature – it evokes a protective response in men.
Most sexual signals a woman imparts has some component that is rooted in appearing submissive. A
very large part of dating involves relinquishing power to our partners and most often it is the woman
who allows herself to be dominated by men, rather than the other way around. You might think that it
untrue, that women today share equally or tend to “wear the pants in the household”, and that feminism
has equalized the sexes, but if you take the act of sex by itself, absent of whatever else happens in the
couple’s dynamic, it is plainly obvious that men dominate the act. Sex, is done by penetrating the
women’s vagina with the man’s penis. The very act alone requires her to submit to him, and
relationships are no different. Now I do understand that women control the household, some even
control the finances, but women still hold and give birth to children and the brain is still hardwired to
prefer a dominant man who can assist in raising that child. These points, and not withstanding the
myriad of variations with respect to dominance and how it fits into relationships male dominance still
holds true for the “norm” – for the average. There’d be no point in talking specifically to couples that
use sex in more creative ways that what the human body is naturally equipped for, or couples where
women seek the upper hand and wish to be in control at all times, for the exact reason that it is a huge
minority. Almost universally, women prefer men who are larger and more dominant in relation to
themselves. When women select their mates the seek men who they can respect, and part of this is
directly related to his status. When women, and men for that matter, lack respect for their partner, it has
a directly influences on their level of happiness and the amount of conflict they endure in their
relationships.
