What's the physcology behind it?
And also does this mean they don't like other loud/confident girls and prefer the quieter girls?

Everyone is different 🤷

Evolution. Think about it, for thousands and thousands of years it was the duty of men to defend themselves, their other half and the tribe against invasion. If said man/tribe failed to do so, the woman were the "prize" of the conquering tribe. As such, it's deeply within the genome of men to dominate to ensure the safety of their other half. Alongside this, you can look up the word "hypergamy", which again draws itself from evolutionary psychology. Hypergamy is the fact that females tend to "date up", and have historically and evolutionary sought to get with the strongest* male that offers the most protection against invading forces, etc. Look up evolutionary biology, woke society hates it; but it is the truth.

*can be defined physically, or in terms of popularity. As in the evolutionary context, popularity and charisma ensured the man had a big group to back him up against a potential invading force, and as such, the other half/ girlfriend was also protected.

More vague gender crap

I think a lot of guys are scared to show signs of submissiveness as girls have made it clear they dont like submissive men, leading to a lot of guys over compensating.
So in the end guys dont really have a say in if they want to be dominant or not - it is kind of just expected that they are.

It's just culture. So many of the male role models that we see are dominant people, so men grow up with that inculcated into them - that the best and most attractive man is a dominant man.

Have you heard of a rather curious thing called 'history'?

I asked it because what passes as dominant to many people turn out of be slavish behavior.

We don't, not necessarily. Some guys are relaxed and prefer to talk, discuss and jointly agree on things rather than dictate or demand.

I find guys who try too hard to be ''dominant'' cringe AF. Just be reasonable, thoughtful and not selfish. You don't have to be pushy or aggressive ...

there may be some evolutionary factors, but humans are historically very egalatarian societies. the main reason for this is rigid gender roles in society

Are you attracted to guys who are socially dominant or does that not factor into your attraction?

You know the guy at the party who always seems to have girls on his arm, sitting on a couch somewhere? He's usually popular. People like being seen with popular people it seems to me. Is it the fact this guy is popular, or is it the social skills he has, that made him popular, that draws girls to him? I know I'm vastly stereotyping here.
I find people who try to dominate social situations to be horribly unattractive. I like people who can function normally, and add their fair share to a social situation without pissing all over it.
I was thinking of a guy who people are drawn to not someone who tries to dominate social situations. It just happens naturally.
Socially dominant is a huge turnoff for me.
I think dominance was the wrong word.
I guess it depends on how socially dominate he is. If he's the guy that tries to talk over everyone then no I will find him annoying. If he's the one who's social and always has a funny cool story to say or is easy to talk to them yeah I will like him
I should have just said popular, not "socially dominant". Bad choice of words, sorry. Edit: Yeah, I mean like the guy who's the life of the party.
I don't think "popular" factors into it once you leave high school.
And I wouldn't like someone who 'always had girls on his arm'... I like the guy I'm seeing to only be interested in seeing me, I don't find it attractive when people flirt with or pursue multiple at the same time. I don't mean there's something wrong with that necessarily as long as everyone is being respectful, it's just not something I personally am attracted to.
Being confident and socially competent is attractive though, yes.
I think it's an attractive quality, but it doesn't attract me to them, if that makes sense.
if you mean like physical attraction yeah it makes sense.
I've never found those types of guys attractive. I prefer more introverted, cerebral types.
I do like guys who are socially aware and can be the life of the party. These people tend to be popular.
Probably not the way you're imagining it, no.
But I'm definitely interested in men/people who are are emotionally intelligent, are strong positive leaders, and are respected by others for their qualities.
These are attributes that many people appreciate, and so most people who I like are also well liked by others.
Socially dominant in that he's loud, center of attention, kind of guy? Completely unattractive to me. I guess it depend on what you mean. Someone who is socially competent is good.
If a guy was "socially dominant", I would not be attracted to him.
Yes, I find myself attracted to charismatic, outgoing people.
I'm usually the popular, center of attention type myself, so I generally prefer people on my level.
Current boyfriend's kinda shy and conflict-avoidant and dislikes being the center of attention, though.
It factors into my attraction in the way that it makes me less attracted.
It factors in the sense that I am very not attracted to that type of person.
