I’ve been actively working on getting together a group of guys to go out weekends to practice on girls at downtown dance clubs.

My one friend has been a really good wingman to me, but can’t seem to get any action on his end. When we were formally talking about past relationships, dating etc he told me he was really into being submissive in the bedroom, and thinks this is his problem with girls.

I didn’t really know what to say, but having just finished Mode 1 on audiobook, and skimmed enough seduction advice, it DOES definitely seem to approach things from the assumption that a guy will always be “alpha”. Some Mystery stuff seems more in tune with social cues, but I didn’t really know what to tell him.

It seems a foregone assumption on here that “dominant” is good or a prerequisite to being a decent seducer. I’m not judging his preferences, but don’t really know what resources to advise him to look into - I mean, can he be socially dominant and pivot to asking to get spanked/cuffed in bed (this is an example - I did not want to ask for details...)? On a practical level too, it seems for me I don’t always want to be the super aggro/dominant partner in the sack, espcially in an LTR - advice? Book suggestions?
