It's very important. Many studies show this to be true.
What you often find with this however is that the wording matters a lot because of misunderstandings or different interpretations of the word "dominant", which you can see in many of the replies here. When you say "dominance" as you can see many people tend to see that word and think about maybe an abusive, overly-controlling, selfish dickhead, rather than for example a confident, assertive person who is comfortable taking the lead.
In fact there have been studies which have been done where women were asked whether they like dominant men, and the majority say "no". But then when they were asked about other qualities, all of which were related to dominance, the large majority said "yes". Literally the only difference was in the wording of the question.
This is a good answer.
I think most women if not all are attracted to dominance in men. They are not looking for a tyrant. They are looking for a guy with backbone who can lead.
Do not listen to the opinions of women on this. They say one thing and do the other. How many women say they like nice guys but sleep with and date total A holes? See it sounds wrong to say otherwise and I think women have to be unaware of their own programming. There’s a reason why some serial killers get love letters by the thousands from women. Think about that.
Seems to me women confuse dominance with confidence and being domineering with dominance. They say dominant guys are assholes but that's not true. Domineering guys are assholes. They say they like when guys have the confidence to stand up for themselves and "get people out of his way without ever saying a word or acting aggressively" and that's dominance.
Exactly. This is why guys should never listen to dating advice from girls. They say one thing and do the opposite.
To some extent it's nice. If he acts entitled to me/my body/my time, as we aren't an official couple then no, don't like that. I like a guy that can take charge, but also won't just keep on pushing straight ahead without checking on me once in a while.
In bed it's all fun and so but in real life I want to feel respected and not like some kind of bitch he can steer and order around as he'd like
Somewhat. Dominance like a role in bed, fine. Dominance like telling me what to do with my life and beign a control freak, turn off.
being a control freak is not dominance, it's being domineering
Oh, sorry. Not a native English speaker, so first time I hear "domineering". In my language dominant and domineering it's the same word.

Very! I would love to meet a guy more dominant than me and masculine. I am a very dominant person and I am pretty masculine if I could meet a guy that could outdo me I would love it.
So how do you feel about guys more submissive than you?
@dontknow12 if the are not masculine it does not make them submissive lol However if you mean submissive I don’t like submissive guys. I tend to get carried away making plans etc and sometimes I need someone who will tell me to stop or input their plans too. If a guys too submissive I get bored too. As for a guy that would be less masculine than me they annoy me. They still believe they are men and deserve the respect of men but don’t have the goods to back it up. I get hone from work I cook and clean. Guys get home from work and they need to chill but if you’re not bringing something else to the relationship like the man jobs of fixing stuff and mowing the lawn etc then you might as well be another child.
I meant submissive more than anything. Like the guy could still have "masculine" features like lifting weights at the gym, watching or playing sports, spending guy time with his male buddies etc. And he doesn't have to be excessively submissive every day I get that's boring but usually he likes being dominated by you.
Confidence yes, dominance no.
Only 14% for Not important/turn off (!)
So far I can tell, women want a man who cannot be pushed around or treated poorly. They'll try to push a guy's buttons ("shit-testing" as it's known in PUA circles) to see if they can push the guy into a timid, submissive, or weak 'frame'. They're like a building inspector, poking and prodding at the load-bearing pillars and foundations, testing to see if the building has good structural integrity.
Crucial. The entire feminine being yearns for a dominate mate. It's a biological imperative. Even the most ardent feminist will occasionally admit they seek dominance in the bedroom, but not when they're hating on men.
I'm a team player. Doesn't take much for me to feel dominant
Depends on what you look like. That's really what the difference is between dominant and domineering.
Very important.
I would love a guy who is masculine enough but not a dickhead about it.
I like confidence more than dominance.
In tired of doing all the work! Chicks need to be dominant also
Most men want a tad of dominance at-least.
Probably one of my biggest turn off
Fucking lame
I'm quite shocked with the results, that's why I like to believe that becoming a masculine man is a process, but for women becoming a feminine woman is automatic without doing anything at all
Dominance not so much. In fact I mostly find it a turn off.
Confidence isn't dominance & goofs oftentimes get that confused. Confidence is a guy who is self confident, etc. The sort that can get people out of his way without ever saying a word or acting aggressively simply by how he carries himself. That's a confident man.
Dominance, through proxy experience via friends & relatives, I've found is often a telltale sign of some guy that turns out to be a douche-bag.
What you just described as confidence is in fact dominance and what you described as dominance is in fact being domineering Dominant=\=domineering
@Optymistyk - ROFL. You wouldn't know confidence if it bites you, would you?
Dominance - noun - power and influence over others Domineer - noun - assert one's a will over another in an arrogant way Confidence - noun - the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something Confidence has nothing to do with how you treat others. You can be a confident coder or artist but be submissive or arrogant to others
Women have a love/hate relationship with dominant men. Women's brains tell them dominant guys are sexist but their pussies tell them to spread their legs for them.
You couldn’t be more right.
It matters to most women
