A study by the University of Michigan finds that men prefer to women who are subordinate to them. The findings seem to correlate with what people believed already. However, read how they did this study.
The researchers showed college students pictures of a man (or woman) and read a short bio on the person shown. The researchers asked the subjects to rate the person as to how much they would like to marry such an individual.
That's all fine and good for a study, but I think the real-world has more complexity to it. It would have been better to survey married couples and see what the ratio of subordinate women to men is then to simply ask students questions about a fictious potential mate.
