This is harder to answer than I thought at first blush. I find my reaction varies considerably with circumstance. Depends who the woman is, why she's being aggressive, how aggressive she's being, how one defines aggressiveness in the situation, etc., etc. ad nauseum. A generic reply: Moderation in all things (including moderation). >I tend to be rather aggressive and straightforward in everything I do. >Reactions I have gotten range from total fascination ... to polite distaste >(these are generally the guys I know who make a religion of holding >doors ... My attitude on door holding (and similar) is I'll do it if given the opportunity, but don't insist. Most women I know can't be bothered with waiting around for someone else to open the door. On the other hand, most want me to do the driving, even in their car. (So who said people have to be consistent? (-: ) > ... What ratios of initiation are y'all out there comfortable with? >50-50? more? less? 50:50 is generally ok with me.
