To each his own but I don't think OP needs to consider homosexual relationships unless he was already inclined to do so. I just want to say that clearly.
Most women want to be dominated in the romantic sense, or at least they respond romantically to it more than to a nice equality of open-mindedness. I think it's the sexual aspect of pairing up, and much as society tries to change this (imho), it's genetic. If you want that sexual relationship, you might learn to give the thing that encourages that in women. And don't believe anyone who says that you just weren't their type. This is a learned behavior for many men who are very successful in having interesting experiences and relationships with women. (And I wouldn't be surprised if attractive behavior by women isn't equally a learned thing.)
I think you were leading with a behavior that can create a nice intellectual equal relationship, but now you're disappointed it did not produce a romantic relationship. To get a different result, play a different character to some extent. Have fun!
