Women like men who KNOW how to lead. Have you ever noticed the only men who complain that women don't let a man lead come from men who don't know how to lead? Men who have no problem taking the lead never complain about this and if they meet a woman who is just plain difficult and will not allow him to play his role, he won't even entertain her. He won't even engage a woman like this because he knows it's a waste of his time, he will just ignore her as if she doesn't even exist.
Men who are true leaders won't be punked by a woman because he attracts women who respect him. She can tell he's a leader by the way he carries himself, how he speaks and how he interacts with others. His aura says it all. He doesn't need to be loud, braggadocios, conceited... when he walks, he walks tall and his confidence exudes. i.e. Bill Clinton - despite his affair, some women still to this day find him attractive. It's not always about looks.
For example:
1) If you take a woman out dancing, when you arrive to your destination, don't park a mile away because you're too cheap to pay for parking. More than likely she put on heels so she could be sexy for YOU. You don't want her feet to be worn out before you even get there. The more comfortable she is, the better time she will have, which in turn means a better time for YOU.
When you arrive at the door, don't look to her to make the arrangements to get you all in. As a man, you approach the doorman and handle it. Once you're inside, don't ask if she wants a drink, just escort her to the bar and ask her what she wants to drink. A man who waits around for a woman to tell him what to do is a TURN OFF. I REPEAT!!!! A man who waits around for a woman to tell him what to do is a TURN OFF!!!!!
2) If a man walks up and his lady is talking to another man, he will politely say "excuse me" and introduce himself and not feel threatened at all. He will not stand off on the sidelines waiting on her to notice him and give him the okay to come over. He let's his presence be known smoothly while not being obnoxious or coming across like he's jealous or possessive.
3) DO NOT "ALWAYS" leave it up to her to plan your outings. If you leave it up to her too often, it's only a matter of time before she'll start to lose interest in you because this says you have little to no imagination or you're just plain lazy, or both. Women like men who think outside of the box because it says you put forth the effort which will make her feel like you "desire" her.
To sum this up, pay attention to her body language and LISTEN. You can usually anticipate what her needs are without even asking. Men who are attentive to a woman's needs will make her feel safe and protected, this will make her want to be around you even more.
Now, don't get me wrong, you could do all of this and she may still not be interested in you. Chemistry plays a huge part in everything. You could be a good man but if the 2 of you don't have chemistry, it won't work. But hopefully this gives you an idea of what women like so when you do come across someone you have chemistry with, you will know what things to look out for.
Some men will say that women won't let them lead or won't allow them to be chivalrous and to that I say reread the 1st paragraph of this article.
