Can I get some male perspective please?

As a man, when you are dating. Is it essential for you to set the tone of the relationship?
Is it imperative that if you invite a woman into your home and when she invites you into hers, you put things in place to assert your dominance or position?

Is it essential for you to make full use of her attempts to please and accommodate you, so that she thinks only of your needs and very little of her own?

Is this what is done until the hierarchy is established?
Or is this just a certain type of man behaviour?

Well for me setting the tone doesn't mean all those things, it just means being very upfront about what I can't and can't do, my desires/expectations and all that from the start. But yeah all this talk of hierarchy is kinda weird lol I think things will just naturally fall in place

@somedude15 nah, he made demands... And a lot of demands.
Any requests I made were met with jokes and sarcasm.
He'd suggest he was going to do something but never did.

Interesting character really... Even down to trying to tell me how to act.

Hilarious really, to think he thought he had that much power!
