It seems to me that some women want their boyfriends to be aggressive, or at least to have the potential for aggression. What do others think?

Let's use the word 'assertive' or 'confident'...

The only time I could imagine that a woman would want an aggressive man is if she's looking for a 'bad boy'. A woman never wants aggression directed at herself. What is attractive, however, is a strong man. A man willing to fight battles (not necessarily physical battles) - who will stand up for what he believes in, or will stand up to protect a woman. This strength also needs to be accompanied by wisdom, however. That means that a man needs to know when to fight - and when to walk away - whether it be a mental or physical fight.

Often, at parties or social settings, the most popular men among women are the loudest and most obnoxious, particulary if the men are obnoxious or act cockstrong around other men. I think women are hard-wired to be attracted to such men, because it shows them that their offspring will be the strongest.

I like my guy to be able to 'protect' me, so although I wouldn't say I like my boyfriend to be agressive, I do like it that he can 'hold his own.' On the other hand, I'm certainly not attracted to the guy who wants to fight everyone all the time. I am definitely into confidence and strength but not a guy who is obnoxious or destructive. Sorry ladies, but I'm always looking for my hero.

If that's the case, here's the deal: women with low self-esteem tend to attract, and be attracted to, men with genuine agression problems. The two issues go hand-in-hand. If a man is agressive to everyone else and gentle to his girlfriend, she believes that this means she is extra-special to him, more special than to a guy who is kind to everyone. She is the only one valuable enough to him to not hurt. However, the man is not showing her his real self, eventually, because no one is perfect, she will do something to upset him and he will turn his agression on to her and become abusive. If you are trying to have a relationship with a woman who seems to act out this pattern with men, stop pursuing her. She is not mentally and emotionally fit to have a good relationship with anyone. If you are considering turning up the rage in your life to attract women, don't. You'll only attract losers. Be kind, take care of yourself first, and work to improve your own personality in positive ways. Ms. Sane should come around shortly.

In my experience, girls may initially like a bit of a 'bad boy' attitude, but if the aggression is real and pervasive, it gets old very, very quickly. And if it doesn't get old, then the girl probably has some issues that lead her to constantly pursue unhealthy, volatile relationships. On the other hand, when a girl is with a guy that she knows is sweet, affectionate and caring, I think it is attractive when he shows strength and assertiveness (I mean in bed) because she knows there's no real threat or danger there. But acting overly 'assertive' when you're just getting to know a girl isn't cool because you don't have that trust. And picking fights with other guys is silly. Only silly girls like men who try to act tough all the time.

Well, the same can be said from a females perspective. Many want a gentalman in public and 'aggressive' in the bedroom. This does not in any way mean abusive!

A man who is willing to 'stand up for his woman' is seen as caring for her a great deal. He's willing to beat somebody up over it, he's very strong in his beleif and feeling. But the 'potential' is much more desirable. While my boyfriend might say he'd beat up anybody that hit on me, I know that I'd rather he didn't. But I know that if I were hurt, he would use all of his energy to take care of it. I hope that made any sense at all.

Sometimes they get used to it when they are in a relationship with a man who has unresolved anger problems, but why would they like it? Would you like to have the crap beaten out of you by your partner?

It goes back to the woman's original role as nurturer and the man's role as provider and protector. Even strong, independent women like to feel like they could depend on their boyfriend/husband if they needed to. It doesn't make women inferior to men in any way.

I do enjoy it when my man is aggressive. It shows to me he is a man. Many of my girlfriends think I am crazy for liking men who are strong in their convictions and are not afraid to go after what they want. Aggression can go to far, but when a man shows no aggression, it seems like he has no confidence. I want a man, not a puppy.
