Boundaries Define Assertiveness vs Aggression
- Assertiveness respects a woman's boundaries and motivations, making it attractive in relationships.
- Aggressiveness disregards boundaries and control, which is a predictor of physical aggression and is repellent.
Boundary Respect Separates Traits
- Assertiveness acts before boundaries are fully established or respects them.
- Aggression pushes or ignores established boundaries and becomes unwelcome.
Examples of Assertive vs Aggressive Acts
- Staring a girl in the eyes briefly is assertive; staring intensely for minutes is aggressive.
- Messaging persistently after no reply shows aggressiveness, not assertiveness.
