I loathe dominant men and avoided them all my life. It's a marker for low intelligence, sociopathy, domestic violence, bad parenting and poor marriage outcomes.
Then you should disqualify them yourself. A reason to go Dutch is that no one is in the other's debt. If we don't click, there is no financial entanglement. Even a $20 meal is an entanglement on a first date.
Wow, that is one sweeping generalization, I know this exists but I have never witnessed it in my 50+ years on Earth. I certainly didn't do it when I raised my sons.
Back in the seventies at the height of feminism, we celebrated promiscuity, various experiences, and downplayed female virginity. Anti-abortion zealots were losing the war. We need to go back to that
Low-masculinity is not necessarily "feminine." It's an absence of exaggerated masculine gender stereotypes. I like to see a man's true personality, not a bunch of gender expectations cobbled up together. I reckon some men are into girlie girls and some women into he-men, but like u/preparationworried33 pointed out, most men are average on the masculinity spectrum.
I'm a woman and I'm not into male stereotypes, I have always pursued highly intelligent nerds and I didn't care if they were short, fat, or physically unattractive. Only exceptional intelligence gets me going.
Relationships. That involved sex. I tried casual sex (dinosaurs were still roaming the earth at the time) but I got bored very quickly and realized it wasn't for me.
Speaking for myself only, I had no interest in "bad men" and never dated any. I sought intelligent, gentle men, and that's what I found. They tended not to take the initiative so I ended up being the pursuer in nearly every instance.
