How do the women here react to the idea of male leadership in dating and in marriage?
That women tend to avoid men who have strong, exclusive views on moral questions and spiritual questions. The minute a man expresses a moral point of view or a theological argument, women tend to want to avoid him. Sometimes they fear rejection from men with definite convictions. Sometimes they resent male leadership. And there are other reasons to avoid strong men. The problem is that a man who has definite moral views is exactly the kind of man who is likely to be trustworthy and predictable in the marriage. And a man who has definite spiritual views is exactly the kind of man who is going to have some sort of overarching plan for the marriage (AND PARENTING) beyond mere pleasure. You wouldn’t choose someone who was guided by hedonism to be your stock broker or your medical doctor, because doing a hard job requires self-sacrifice and discipline. The same rule applies to choosing husbands. Husbands have duties that are typically best performed by moral, spiritual men.

Women seem to hate being controlled. I personally wouldnt not mind it if the woman was in control.
Both they and yourself have no idea what male headship in marriage means.
May I suggest you actually read several times those NT passages that talk about the male headship in marriage and the remail submission in marriage to see what it does say, rather than what you think it says.

I will be blunt only a fool thinks male headship and remail submission is a recipe for domaneering by men.

Look at the example men are told they are to copy when they ' merely' love their wife..
Who and what is there example, how much are they to cope, is any limit put there.

What women is so foolish that they do not understand that level of commitment to them and as a result is prepared to obey, only obey.

Now read the Bible and fill in the blanks.
