I don't respect submissive people. At all.
I don't like people to be submissive in most cases. I guess it's because I'm pretty submissive, I need a dominant personality to balance me out.
What level of submissiveness constitutes a submissive person?
Someone who is not assertive about their own needs.What level of submissiveness constitutes a submissive person?
Someone who is not assertive about their own needs. Someone who bends over backwards to please others. Someone who has difficulty acting/making a decision unless someone else directs them.
Someone who is entirely passive. In bed, in conversation, in argument--in every area.
That's what I meant.
Children should be submissive to their parents--to a point. Other than that, I don't look too kindly on submissiveness.
I think people can come to consensus or compromise without being submissive.

If someone wants to be treated like they are incapable of thinking or acting of their own accord then alright.. I just think it's pathetic.

I don't respect very dominant people either..
. . . even assertiveness i would say is not always appropriate.
Indeed, Reon sums it up well.to be purely apathetic and incapable in every facet of their soul and interaction with people is not attractive. At all.
There are ways to be assertive and tactful or diplomatic.
Acting in one extreme or the other is ridiculous and will get you nowhere.
One can be strong and merciful or kind or helpful. Deferring to someone is not submissive if you make the informed decision to take this person's counsel or advice or instructions.
I think the issue is that we're taking it to the extreme. The question was do we find submissiveness attractive. So any form of submission would be applicable, wouldn't it? It wouldn't necessarily mean the person was submissive, just an action.
