Is it normal to be strongly attracted to possessive men?

I don't know what's wrong with me. I watch shows like Oprah and well I can't think of them all now lol. But they talk about how dangerous it is to be with apossessive man. And i know it's wrong..i can't help it i love possessive men, agressive, powerful.
Is that normal? or should i seek help?

    My take on this: don't listen to everything you hear on shows like Opera, because your likely to get one-sided feminist advice. (I'm not a sexist...womens studies was in fact my minor in college). Thus, I know that each issue has a counter issue which must me looked at to form an opinion. That would be the toils and dangers of MEN being with possessive WOMEN. Very dangerous as well and not limited to men Explore that issue, even compare/contrast the siliarities and differences between the men and women and that well educate you into making healthier choices in all of your relationships. Good luck

    I need a strong man, strong enough to handle me. But possessive? ONLY with my permission...

    You must distinguish between possessive, caring, controlling, domineering, and abusive. And you need to evaluate your own self esteem. I have known women that needed a man to tell them what to do; I cannot even be friends w/ them.

    THINK before getting into something you may have trouble getting out of. Good luck.

    Just wanted to clarify that possessive men are not confident

    I am not even remotely attracted to possessive men, but I could understand why someone might be.

    I mean, a possessive man tends to be dominating, aggressive, strong and confident- all things that some women find very attractive. Also, a woman might misinterpret a man's possessiveness as meaning they're important to them, and it makes them feel wanted. I could see how that could be desirable, at least on the surface.

    But you shouldn't get into a relationship with a possessive man. Find a man who is confident, strong and cares about you, but do not let yourself get into a destructive relationship. Possessive men sound a lot more appealing to someone who's never had to deal with them, trust me.

    Yes. Some girls like to be treated poorly. Im sure their possessiveness makes you feel valuable. Maybe the men in your life you look up to are possessive.

    its good to feel wanted, but your desire to be possessed could be attributed to borderline personality disorder. look it up. see if it describes you

    I'm a very monogamous person so I'm attracted to loyal men, possessiveness is a few notches up from that but I'm attracted to someone who understands how enraging infidelity can be. I want someone who needs to own me as much as I need to own them, not because I want to be some coveted treasure, but because I want to be on equal footing and understanding with my spouse.

    I don't see a problem with it as long as you're comfortable and he isn't just paranoid BECAUSE he's cheating. But know what you're getting into.

    If he's in to you, that's fine. If he's REALLY into you, great. If he's possessive, that is bad. He'll be jealous, assumptive, and highly likely abusive. Maybe a little playful roughness is fun, but no one should ever lie their hands on you. Abuse is a no-no.

    You mean, you like stalkers and rapists? I do not think that is normal. stay away from those people ,as they can hurt you really badly.

  • um possessive men are not aggressive or powerful, they are creepy and insecure little men. possessiveness and jealousy is the biggest TURN OFF, the worst quality that any fucking human being can possess and the fact that you are attracted to that well, that makes you a piece of trash as well. i hope that possessive "aggressive (lol)" man beats the shit out of you.
