- therightside, on 10/11/2007, -5/+134Its easy to dominate conversation when you never shut the ***** up.
- thenativeraver, on 10/11/2007, -5/+114"No matter how fine she looks, some other guy is sick and tired of putting up with her crap..."
- mindstyle1, on 10/11/2007, -6/+93I'm married... it's true
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -27/+112Of course. Women have the pussy. If he wants the pussy, he has to do what she says.
Which is why women are called bitches. - captmorgan555, on 10/11/2007, -3/+59I think its *****. My wife makes the decisions but its just because i really really dont give a ***** what kind of paper ***** towels we buy.

Any business who lets itself get locked into a single vendor gets exactly what it deserves. - Skitzzo, on 10/11/2007, -4/+59In other news - digg comments show why over 50% of American marriages end in divorce lol.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -18/+64Not that I condone hitting women, but ever since it became taboo for men to hit women, women always win arguments, and women are (now) 450% more likely to cause domestic violence than men. It's sad when a particular group of people get special rights instead of equal rights, is it not? :(
- lpmiller, on 10/11/2007, -3/+47this study is such crap it's not even funny.
You can't just make an imaginary dividing line and say, "this makes one alpha."
There are things I am in charge of, because my wife has no clue or doesn't care. She'd never get a new car or her car fixed or the lawn mowed or whatever because she just doesn't think that way. I'd never leave the cave or even think of going to the park or whatever because I'm a hermit. You take the lead in what you know. This doesn't mean I'm dominate because I say, "ok, today we are getting you a new damn car" or because she says, "friday we are going to my office party".
Sure, there are couples where one is clearly the leader, and the other the follower. This has to do with how people are, not roles of the sexes or who has the money. My wife makes double what I do, but I make most of the financial decisions, or at least I tend to be the one that says no when it doesn't make sense. Like yet another damn bookshelf.
It's working together, filling in where the other one lacks or just doesn't care, and to make a dividing line is just disingenuous. Who is 'dominant' entirely depends on the topic at hand. This study is just people making the facts fit their worldview, without really understanding how people are on a basic level. - lansuggs, on 10/11/2007, -1/+42You're putting the pussy on a pedestal...
- spinchange, on 10/11/2007, -6/+45I've heard it said that, "If the man is the head of the household, the woman is the neck that turns the head!" ...words never spoken truer
- cassholio, on 10/11/2007, -6/+43I'm going to file this one under the "no *****, sherlock" headlines.
- slapthemonkey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+35"I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her."
Rodney Dangerfield. - dmobley, on 10/11/2007, -12/+42How many of these surveys were done with both people in the room at the same time?
What kind of man with any sense in the entire world would EVER let his wife think even for a second that she wasn't the one in control, regardless of the truth of it all? Honestly?
The trick is to let 'em think they're controlling things, calling the shots and everything else that keeps them happy about things like that, and off your back about everything else.
All the guys who want some sort of "Equal partnership" just don't have enough hobbies. - akatherder, on 10/11/2007, -2/+32I wear the pants in my marriage. I just called my wife and she told me so.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+33And yet when you divorce, the woman somehow deserves 50% of everything you've ever made.
I'm all for equality, but maybe feminism has gone a bit too far. - KennMac, on 10/11/2007, -5/+29There should be a +100 digg button, just for this comment.
- orlyfactor, on 10/11/2007, -3/+24That works both ways. I just deny her sex, and go jerk off. In the end, it's all the same for me.
- KennMac, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21We're all dumber for having read your logical fallacies. Stop pushing dumb opinions as facts.
- dmobley, on 10/11/2007, -4/+24I suspect you have around a year until your will is broken or you realize that you win more by losing more. (don't worry it's not a math problem).
You ultimately end up with a lot more freedom when you figure out how to create scenarios for her to win, and therefore you to lose so you keep up the illusion that she's in charge and has everything going the right way. Meanwhile, you're probably still making more money, everything's in your name and you're probably already trying to find that quiet, electronics filled room that she won't spend any time near.
Next time she yells at you to do the dishes or something, just start doing them pre-emptively. If you do, she'll be under the impression that she "changed you" which is the dream of every girl, when in reality you've been doing your own dishes forever and there's really no change at all. She'll be so happy with this minor miracle, that you'll be able to get away with something else in the future or slack on something else.
Lose the fights, win the war. Give them something stupid that they want, take whatever you want for yourself. The guys who fight and try to be a 'real man' or whatever kinda idiotic stuff shouldn't be getting married in the first place, you'll just end up with half your ***** gone when you get caught cheating on your wife who "turned out to be a total bitch" because you were fighting all the time and never giving up. - Minishark, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20If you think women aren't attracted to money, then you are an idiot.
- dankCIA, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19sex > winning stupid arguments
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -7/+23that's not the real reason why you're single buddy boy!
- Neiby, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16Yeah. This study definitely falls into the "no *****" category. Kind of like the one I read yesterday that said that women are attracted to muscular men. Really? No ***** way!!!11! I never would have guessed that without someone doing a study.
- jamesallen74, on 10/11/2007, -4/+19Reminds me of something I saw on the internet once:
Chances of a guy winning an argument:
While dating - 50%
While engaged - 25% (unless she is a star on the TV show Bridezilla)
While married - 0%
Sure you can fight for the win, but don't look for any sex for months. - PhoneGuy, on 10/11/2007, -4/+18Thank you Captain Obvious. A headline stating "Man complains of pain when he inserts a fork in his eye" would be less obvious that this one.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15Ah, the "sex camel" defense. One of my favorites. Difficult to master, but if executed correctly has tremendous results.
- falstaff, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17Study conducted by bachelors. Any married man doesn't even need to do the study to know this. It's in the manual that comes with the ring.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15This is total BS. Women have no power over men! I don't know where they get this crap from. As soon as I finish doing the dishes and ironing my wife's clothes, I'm going to send them a nasty letter.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14"I don't think a little slap every once in a while is a bad thing if it lets the woman know that the man in is still a man in the relationship"
- A female Indian coworker - faithhealer, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15@Achalemoipas: "basic physics"?
lol--I've had basic *and* advanced physics, and this topic never came up. I wonder where you learned physics. - wonko33, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Truth is most of the time I don't give a ***** about most of the stuff in the house. What color are the walls or where the damn furniture is. If there is something I care about then I wouldn't really call her the dominant member of the couple.
I really don't understand why these things are so damn important to them though, but like some other dude said, if it keeps her off my back.... - caffiend, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12LandStander, you'll get over that in time (hopefully). Arguing over stupid ***** is pointless and deconstructive.
- LandStander, on 10/11/2007, -6/+17My g/f (fiance) and I just moved into a house together for the first time and no matter how much I know it's stupid, I still argue to get my way. I have to hold on to that freedom somehow, even if I know she's making the final decision, I feel like my fight mattered.
- m0tbaillie, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14Shut the ***** up.
- mroboy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13@m0tbaillie
apparently so did you. - Hetman, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14What happend to men? We have been pussified. It is horrible. I am all for equality but lets be honest with ourselfs here. Women want to be superior not equal. I cant wait to the day that there is an affectvie male birth control that doesnt require a vasectomy.
- drakenlot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10So, using your logic, try explaining why all the rich guys are the ones with trophy wives? It's sure wasn't looks that attracted Anna Nicole Smith
- Dhalgren, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9You remind me of some of the other guys at work. From talking to them it's pretty obvious that their wives run things at home. I like to think that my wife and I have a healthier relationship. There's lots of compromises in both directions. If she made all the decisions I wouldn't have 8 computers at home...
- lrf2005, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13I don't even know what that means
- captmorgan555, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12Have you ever asked a women for a pre-nup? To them it means your ***** someone else.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13We don't keep arguing with women, because they lack a little thing called "common sense".
- bbqsalad, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13STUDY: Air is good to breath.
- mal1964, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Feed us, lay us. and let us hold the remote for the tv and the rest is yours.
- psbpv3o, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10and irf2005 was quoting it as well....
- zatrix, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Reminded me of a song by 3 Malancholy Gypsys - Chant
"show me a hot chick and ill show you a guy who's tired of sleeping with her" - hifiDesign, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10SuperWinner... Misogynistic ***** about wife beating aside, I think you hit the nail on the head about their memories. My wife can remember just about everything, like she's got my ***** in a relational database or something. Mix that with two parts crazy, one part emotional blackmail, and 3 parts holding-my-balls-hostage and you've got Mrs. hifiDesign's recipe for never letting me win an argument.
- LizardonaStick, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9The study is actually the PERCEPTION of which partner is dominant, not an objective judgment of dominance by a behaviorist or psychologist. They asked the people for their opinions. The title at Yahoo and for this Digg posting are incorrect.
From the report:
"each spouse noted a relationship problem that could not be resolved without the spouse’s cooperation" - aliengoods, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11@gerrycurl
An insightful comment. And you're right. The real reason I'm single is the 2000 other people in line for your mom. But at the rate she goes, she'll get to me in a half hour.
@jfpersona
You've missed the point entirely. I do think for myself when women are around. Most men will cave every day just to get their wives/girlfriends to screw them for five minutes. Why in the hell do you think women withhold sex as a relationship tool? - kernelhappy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I guess it depends on how they define dominant. If they just mean making social and household decisions in regard to the relationship, then it's very possible that women are more often "dominant". As we were getting married I gave my wife one simple rule, I want veto power. I have enough stress at work figuring out how to keep things running, I make enough decisions in my 12 hour day, she can decide what color the carpet is, where we're going to dinner, what movie we'll go see, etc. All I need is the ability to say no if I don't want or like the decision. Luckily for me my wife is a pretty good judge and not selfish in the fact that she knows what I like and chooses accordingly.
It's not that my wife leads me around by the testicles, but she makes a lot of daily household decisions that I just don't want to be bothered with. If you want to, call it dominance. -
