If you ever thought that if an woman wants a more assertive or controlling man, you are in for a special treat.

The discussion focuses on six dominant traits that women find appealing, differentiating between assertive and controlling behaviors.

Apollonia has seen the behaviors of Assertive and Controlling men. And she sees how women are attracted to assertive men. 

But what is an assertive man? Assertive men emphasize the importance of direct yet sensitive communication with their partner. The Assertive man establishes clear boundaries, which he adheres to while respecting those of others.

Conversely, the controlling man resorts to manipulative tactics, such as guilt-tripping, to fulfill his desires.
