Revised subject: If allowed, would most female spouses prefer life as the boss?

[dog eat dog world]

Here's the story:
Friend of mine has turned down golf outings several times of late. I have this conversation with my wife about it and she said "oh...(recognizing that a friend of his wife's is a friend of hers)....she goes on to tell me that they've picked up a new method of relating to one another.....called a female-led relationship. The key is that he's not playing golf because she takes him shopping, to craft shows, etc. She apparently runs the money (that's not unusual when the guy can't control his spending), but she also decides their social life....everything goes through her for permission, that kind of thing. So she says, "sounds good to me."..then googles it and says, "naaah, thats too twisted" (and it seems to be linked to the bdsm bit.

But it got me to wondering, outside of the twisted stuff, is the rest of this kind of reverse role playing more normal than I think, or would women prefer this? I mean, I don't want to try and stereotype to offend but most women I know don't have the passionate interest in sports unless their kids are playing and would just as likely be at the mall...and to me, would have their minds blown if their hub "liked" shopping with her.

Me? I have trouble giving up a round of golf. Wish my wife would learn the game though. Shopping? I'm one of those guys who gets yanked into the display where five guys are in between a round hanger of dresses with a tv on and a case of beer, watching football.

You have to do a better job of coming up with your fake stories and your straw men.

Right. You've never been consistently turned down for golf?

That first post is barely coherent. Do you understand syntax and grammar at all?

Besides, if I let my wife handle the finances, my golf game would go to **** far worse than it has now.

Good gosh, trying to have some fun with a topic and some ass comes in and starts criticizing sentence structure. Lighten up, Dreunc.

But for your benefit, killing the setup to the question to get to the point for your mfing benefit: how many would consider normal a relationship where the woman makes all the decisions and controls all the finances and the social agenda? Is that effing clear enough?

Would you consider the converse "normal"?

To answer your question, there are some guys out there who allow their wives to control everything about their social lives. Either scared of confrontation, or just big pusses, or just love their wife's company more than guys.

It's a give and take I guess. Over time, the "traditional" sense of one being head of house has changed....but historically, men were the dominant figure in a household. Considering this question was posed by ****, I'm almost paranoid it's going to become political. lol.

That being said, some of my conservative buddies think men have been had been de-manned in this culture.

****, I'm sorry. I thought I posted it on anything goes. Can it be moved?

It's a give and take I guess.

So, in other words: It's not normal. But neither would it be normal for the man to completely control the agenda.

Seems simple enough.

I get you, but it went one way for centuries. Would it shift the other way without the axis being loosened? I mean with "Stepford Wives" came the movie "Stepford Husbands." lmao...

If the point of this can be boiled down to, "does dog eat dog's wife have carte blanche to beat the **** out of him" than I'm all in favor. Enjoy your new gimp existence.

It wouldn't be normal for only one person to make all the decisions. In a loving relationship those should be discussed, shared and agreed upon.

What a stupid ****ing scenario. Shopping over golf because she says so? Grow some balls.

But more toward the middle, wives will typically say that their husbands don't venture into their world, so to speak....(their interests, etc.). I'm sorry, but shopping at the mall is one of the most hideous forms of torture I can imagine. If I could do all my Christmas shopping at the "Get In, Get Out," I would. Would any guy in here admit to enjoying shopping with the Mrs., at say, at Bath and Body Works or to a lesser extent, Dillards?

I'm not sure my wife enjoyed going to see "Moneyball" the night it opened.

But she did.
