Do you believe that the Man should be the LEADER of the relationship? (Stolen)

I have not met a single woman on this earth that wants to be the primary decision maker in a relationship.

I agree. They do it because they CAN or they are "allowed to" but they don't REALLY want it. No matter what they portray.

I agree Born. For example, my wifey has no problem making decisions, but the second a major decision comes up that relates to both of us "Its your decision baby, and I support you either way". Never fails.

However, in regards to finances, that's complicating. As some of you have already stated, we are living in a time where it is not out of the ordinary for a woman to be pulling in 6 digits. I mean, all three off the individuals that are my superiors at the agency I work at are women. I think the problem lies with the fact that a lot of men feel insecure having their woman making more than them and a lot of women don't want a man that makes less than them. Both of the couples that I knew that were in a situation where the woman made more than the man are no longer together and attribute their break up to "financial difficulties".

Overall, I think it is best for a couple to share financial responsibilities though. I just don't think its healthy for a woman to completely rely on a man to financially and also don't think it is a good look for a man to kill himself working three jobs when his wife/girlfriend is perfectly capable of working one. They say relationships are about meeting each other halfway right? Last time I checked that meant 50/50. But that's just my opinion.

Yeah I know a lot of women that once they get their masters and start pulling in 6 digits won't date a guy who don't make as much as them.

It's 50:50.

I make some decisions, so does she. That way, no one feels unimportant. If either me or her disagree, we TALK about it. ()

This is the best way to go about it imo.

If a man loves his wife right she will have no problem following him. So yes I believe the husband should be the leader.

Facepalm indeed.

LOL, WOW, what a bunch of metrosexuals you guys are, except for Po Pimp.

I'm sorry to see many of you disagree with the natural order of men and women and are so wonderfully politically correct. Congratulations on being brainwashed, just how P.C. society and women want you, pliant, obedient, and neutered, and utterly, disposable.

Please just tell me what's so "offensive" and "facepalm" worthy or what I said???

Please enlighten, me, modern, sensitive, tender gentlemen.

If you guys think my post is a facepalm, well, I'll let YOU guys SUFFER!!! Only the Jet's will make me suffer, that's once a week during football season. Women, they can do a whole lot more damage. Good luck, "MODERN MAN" you're going to need it.

I knew this board trended young and not so experienced, but this takes the cake. LOLOLOL

Most everyone thinks their parents didn't know anything, I was the same way, until I got older. Facepalm at my GOLD all you want, some people have to learn the hard way. 99 times out of 100, your parents are always right.

What is a leader ? A leader protects, watches over, influences, takes charge, shows initiative without belittling those around him. The fact that a man is supposed to PROTECT alone shows that it is a NATURAL position for him to lead. A woman shouldn't be the protector, and as I said, if she is then that relationship is backwards.

Last time I checked, the PROTECTOR of anything isn't the one NOT in charge.

In a Lion Community. The Leader is the protector. The MALE is the provider.... Read More

We can all look at animals to see the natural makeup of male/female interactions.

Men = Leadership Role
Woman = Supporting Role

Batman Robin
not
Batman Superman

Oh I agree, there are INSTANCES in which a woman can take charge. But we aren't speaking of INSTANCES, we are talking about the MAJORITY of the time. A woman KNOWS if she is dominating the relationship and she WILL get bored with it. Yall keep falling for this "independent woman of 2009" hype if you want.

A great leader knows when to sit back and let his troops have control of certain situations because he knows that sometimes he will not be around to fend off the enemy. (INSTANCES)

A great leader doesn't dominate duties nor does he make his troops feel invaluable. He lets them know that they are NEEDED.

A great leader knows that he can learn from his troops and he lets his troops know that he needs and appreciates their support....

Decision making and physical protection are just two of many responsibilities in a relationship. Just so happens that those two are ideally suited for the male. The "independent woman" is an extreme rarity, if not a myth altogether. Women are codependent creatures by nature, and they are most comfortable in that role.

A relationship is still a partnership. Just because a man may be the leader doesn't mean he can act outside of the interest of that partnership. Leader does not mean "overlord".

I am in total agreement with both of these posts. I think some people are getting the word "Leader" confused with the word "Dictator". I think a man should be the leader of the household, but you have to be a good leader for your wife to follow you. Most dudes take the "wives submit to your husbands" statement as free reign to be Fidel Castro in their houses, not the case at all......
