Why Controlling Men Are Drawn To You
You feign interest to be polite
Being very polite and doing whatever it takes to let an interaction run smoothly can come off as being a doormat. Perhaps you do this by pretending to be interested in whatever your dates are talking about. It would feel rude to change the subject, all because you aren’t interested in it. They’re interested, so you try to care. To the controlling man, when you enthusiastically listen to and ask questions about all of his hobbies, this feels like, “Oh, this woman will let me run the show.”
