There's a genuine reason why I believe most women do NOT have an agenda nor a game plan when it comes to dating men. Have you ever heard a group of women try to make plans? It doesn't really matter what it is whether it be a baby/wedding shower or just getting together with a bunch of friends. They constantly get side-tracked with some dumbass gossip, they can't decide who's going to pick up who, how they're going to get to the destination, what day to have it on, etc etc. It literally takes them FOREVER to come up with some kind of a plan, and even when they do come to some kind of conclusion, their plan isn't rock solid. I cannot imagine a woman coming up with a plan to control a man unless she's already involved with him and he's royally pissed her off. Even then, they usually don't follow through with their plan. Why? Because they don't trust themselves, they're generally not self-confident, and they're uncertain of the outcome. This is why women look to their men to make the definitive rock-solid plans, and trust them to follow through with it.
It's much easier to lead a woman than to allow her to lead you. Next time you have a date set with a woman, tell her that she can decide where to go, what to do, and at what time. Chances are she's going to come up with nothing.
...and that's how good your "power-hungry" woman is with planning to control your life.
