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?

I dunno how it is for most guys. Ive never really been the dominant, alpha male type. Guess i treat them more like family. Treat my home like your home. Im going to accomodate you, make you feel comfortable and special. I want you to enjoy my company. But also i dont have much experience dating, so that dominant side of me never really came to light, didnt date anyone long enough for it to. But dont mistake the courtesy and laid back attitude for weakness.
