God no, I'm not dominant, maybe that explains why such a handsome, fine specimen of a man, like myself, is single? Or, maybe I have negative assosiations with the word DOMINATE. I'm sure there's good and bad things in it (as with anything else), so for me, it helps to pick it apart a little, give it the 'under the microscope' treatment.

Okay, and feel free to add to this (plus, this is very much as I see things):

Positive aspects of dominate:
No fear.
Leadership.
Bravery.

Negative aspects of dominate:
It's forced.
It's unnatural.
It implies aggression.
Your focus is on other men (i.e. object of the domination) and not the ladies.

In fact, I'm struggling here. In all honesty, I have a lot of problems with the word (i.e. behaviours I assosiate with it). As if it calls for a course of action, that is not aligned with my heart. So if I'm being genuine and true to myself, I think I'm going to struggle with (what I consider to be) being dominant.

I can see a good case (i.e. in the animal kingdom) where females are way more attracted to the more aggressive and dominant males. Like with rutting stags, fighting over who gets the female stags. I wonder how much correlation there is between animals and humans (of course, we are all animals at the end of the day) in this regard.

I'm just gonna sign up for monk school or something.
