@John Michael Kane: I'm looking at the site now, I'm not familiar with it. After scanning the headlines though, it seems that they target either a man who used to be a wuss and now wants to be dominant, or a woman who used to be a feminist and now wants to be submissive. Neither applies to me or my wife, because I'm naturally dominant and she's submissive, right from the beginning. I don't care much for the label "Taken In Hand", I call our model the one God created where the man leads and the woman follows, also known as "The Only Model That Works" or "The Natural and Godly Order Of Things". This is NOT a model of equality, that's a feminist poison. We are not equal before God, I'm her leader, she's my helper, she is created for me not the other way around. The "Taken In Hand" people seem to be stuck with the label "equal" as can be seen here: http://www.takeninhand.com/forum/how.are.we.equal I may not go as far as calling them feminists in traditional / Christian clothing, but they certainly have been poisoned by feminism perhaps without realising so.
Regarding spanking, it has to be used carefully. I only use spanking when it comes to small or playful misbehaviours. I never use it in a serious scenario, where a talking to or withdrawl of attention is much more appropriate. It's because it's both a punishment and a reward, more so the latter because women really do love getting spanked. In the case of "punishment", I only spank my wife after she has realised her misbehaviour, apologised and done something to please me (e.g cooking me a nice meal or giving me a massage). If I show anger at her (never serious, always under control) or if I withdraw attention (more serious misbehaviours), she gets scared, and I do not spank her then, but later instead. Spanking for me is a fun art. Half of the time, it's more like me playing with my favourite musical instruments: her bubble booty. The spanking we love from the old movies is because it's fun, erotic and sexual. It's not something to scare and hurt the woman with.
The reason spanking was brought up in the first place in our relationship is because we both love vintage movies and she aspires to be like a 1950s housewife. She loves the old ads about the pretty housewife dressing up beautifully waiting for her husband to come home for dinner, and started doing the same very early on in our dating. Naturally spanking followed, because plenty of those ads and movies from back then had a husband putting his wife over his knees for a good smack on the booty, with the wife looking like she's over the moon happy and wet.
Taken In Hand is something I stumbled upon while reading up on the red pill. After reading the stories of the men and women, it seems to work best on women that are very spirited and have a natural tendency to be test their men a lot. Some women are just not as docile as others. Personally, I prefer a woman that is a peacemaker and looks for harmony over drama. When selecting for a wife, I'm looking for a woman who is that peacemaker. In fact, I'd argue that a more reserved, quiet or humble girl might be actually shocked (and not in a good way) if you tried to spank her outside of the bedroom. My personal preference is for a woman who doesn't always "need to be put in her place" via spankings. I think there is a certain high-spirited woman who enjoys her man "putting her in her place", hence the desire for punishment spankings. That woman does not appeal to me, but I do know that some men prefer women that are more spirited.
I think it boils down to the man and how wild (or not) his woman is. I think for the men in relationships with testy women, punishment spankings via Taken In Hand may be a corrective method with good results. For the shy, mousy girl that prefers to talk when there is a problem, spanking may just appear to be a sign of uncontrolled male anger, which in her eyes, means you are losing frame. The nuance matters here, depending upon what type of woman you have. Like you, I'm naturally dominant and prefer naturally submissive women. I think the filtering stage while in a relationship or dating is key to avoid having to use corrective methods too often once committed in a relationship. You brought up an excellent point that spanking, if it is to be done, needs to be done from a place of self-control. Your wife isn't an outlet for your anger, rather you are her leader and it is your role to correct her when she's wrong, but it should be done with love. I think many women can find a spanking cathartic.

I get the concept, one of the things I had a lack of (still work on it), was control over emotions. Regular Meditation has helped me work on that.. As someone said.. Dont GET ANGRY (anger controlling you), But SHOW ANGER (measured/ as much as is needed).
I learned how to completely control and channel my anger (or other strong emotions) through physical training: dancing (for the softer emotions), lifting and boxing (for harder emotions).

Please keep in mind that I am only talking about a woman you want to marry. For all other women, you can do as you please, and can always just walk away if she's too much.
The mindset you need to have is that you are moulding her into a suitable woman for you. This considerable effort is something she must appreciate and understand that it is a privilege for her, and you are only doing so because you think she's a good woman for you. Very early on, as soon as we started dating and after she learned something from me that she said she appreciated very much, I told her that my Time is my most precious resource and I do not spend it on anyone unworthy. She understands and has the biggest respect for my Time with her. Also, my teaching from the experiences and lessons I've learned in life is the biggest gift I can give anyone, which is something she understands very well.
I do not spend time with nor teach a woman who does not respect those two. If she shows any disrespect towards those, withdraw your attention and get ready to walk away.

I know & understand this has to be calibrated case by case, but EXAMPLES will help (assuming that one's self control has evolved) more than the "concept" which most of us seem to have understood.
Sure, I can give examples, but don't underestimate concepts. You can always understand something at a higher level than you previously did. When you truly have it in your blood, actions or words are automatic.

Also, EARLY TRAINING.. I know it starts from Interaction 1, but with younger girls.. I've noticed that until the Bang/ until she is IN with you, the "Stronger Daddy" needs to wait and let the "Fun Daddy" play until she commits..
Maybe letting Strong Daddy out earlier is a good way to filter out the young girls you do not want to wife up. My wife did not act like this at all, she was a virgin before she met me, and never dated anyone, so she didn't do the "not commiting until the bang". I am always Fun Daddy, even when I'm spanking / disciplining my wife (or back when she was just girlfriend status). I led from the beginning, although of course I didn't teach her everything then, just the basics to get her started following me properly.

PPS: Some actual examples of Early Training from your side would be lovely. ESPECIALLY, the Over Knee Spanking movies and how you trained her on that.. (I'd like to learn this PROGRESSION in detail) PLEASE.. That's perfectly playful to start with and can eventually go to INTENSE..
Well the spanking originally came from her starting to act like a 1950s wife and preparing my meals while wearing a sundress or a nice skirt with pretty hairdo. I rewarded that by putting her over my knees and spanking her, just like in the vintage movies we love to watch together. It wasn't used at first as a discipline tool.
The first time I noticed that my wife got jealous of other women giving me attention, I laughed and called her "my jelly baby", then after making her laugh too, I spanked her and made her jelly-legged with some serious banging.
I use spanking also for when she gets upset about some silly stuff and lets her usual very respectful language towards me slip a bit. Note: we use Vietnamese pronouns and phrases to talk to each other, even when talking in English, so it's very easy to detect the slip because the language is highly respectful in that regard, or she speaks entirely English instead e.g saying "Yes Husband" instead of the much more respectful and loving equivalence in Vietnamese.
I really don't have to do corrections or nipping in the bud all that often though. I'd much rather teach her to sort that out herself, with my guidance. I do a lot more positive reinforcements than negative ones. Early on, I told her that I want her to always be my representative, that other people would look at her and say "wow, that is definitely StrikeBack's wife" because she represents me so well and makes me proud. When she does something right, I'd say "now that's my wife" or "that's my good woman" and give her a big kiss. When she stuffs up, I correct her, discipline her and as she understands the lesson, I'd compliment her on learning very fast and being respectful of my teaching and my time through listening to me.
I tell my wife her #1 wife duty, far above sex, cooking and cleaning, is to be my retreat. It means I get to relax and have a good time with her. While I nip every misbehaviour early, I don't have to do so too much, because of that rule. Because if I had to correct her every action, the risk would not be me becoming like her father, instead it would be me walking away because she's clearly the wrong woman for the title of wife. If I ever met any of her BS with silence, it meant something super serious, as in I started to stop caring, and she understands this very well.
Like I said, there is a very clear difference in standards between LTR / Marriage and random girls you want to bang for a little while.

A passive aggressive text? Word she knows you don't like? Degrading nickname? Getting a reply the next day when she's used to getting them in a few minutes can set her straight. After a while a girl realizes if she brings positivity to the well she'll get some water to bring back with her, if not things will be dry for her.
While this is fine for a short-termed thing (I used to do the same, but mentally I wrote them off), you cannot show any tolerance for this when vetting for a LTR or wife (besides you can't do this if she lives with you). My wife understands the tremendous consequence of disrespecting me. She'd be a goner, at ANY COST, if she pulled any of those. And she never does that, ever. When I nip certain behaviours in the bud, I tell her it is not because I am a nitpicky man, it's because I know when men let their women get away with small nonsenses, it always leads to a big disrespect down the road, and love cannot exist without respect. She understands and always thanks me whenever I need to do so.
A man must be in control of his internal state. That means even if a woman angers you, you don't fly off the handle. Remain calm externally, even if you're internal desire is to lash out. If you're in a relationship, you don 't want a woman fearing you, but rather respecting you. If you don't show excessive emotional outbursts when she does you wrong, you're showing to her that her drama or mistake isn't going to change you. Be the oak tree that weathers the storm. Punish accordingly (with words, a spanking, etc.) and also look to be loving afterwards would be my advice. Correction + affection is a powerful bonding technique to bring a woman closer to you, and get to the bottom of the issue.
I love the mindset of time being the most valuable asset. I've told friends, women and business partners this. Time is a non-renewable resource. Spend it wisely. If a woman learns to respect your time, it means that you're sending her the signal that you're qualifying her for relationship status. So many men fail to qualify women. Women actually want to be put to the test by a man with standards. The contempt so many women have for their men is based upon the massive deficit of self-respect the men have for themselves. Attention is a form of currency. When in the dating stage, a man needs to dole it out with extreme caution, and only to a woman who is reciprocal and respectful.
As far as stronger daddy versus being more lenient, I find it is best to error on the side of not being overly corrective in the early stages of dating. LET HER SHOW YOU WHO SHE REALLY IS, NOT WHO YOU WANT HER TO BE. Abandon all preconceived notions about who she is. If after several weeks/months of dating her, she appears to be a moldable girl, then start slowly issuing loving correction as needed, and see how she responds.
Strongly agree with positive reinforcements. If you make a woman feel special for her having to work hard for your love, she'll desire the affection you shower on her when she's earned it. Women are natural people pleasers. Give her a reward for a job well done. I think too many men underestimate the power of showing your appreciation, but not in a wimpy way. If your wife or girlfriend cooks you a great dinner, thank her by holding both arms above her head, walk her backwards towards a wall and kiss her deeply. Say something playfully sexist like "they say a woman's place is in the kitchen, and your girlish smile tells me you agree with that sentiment". Girls want to have fun. You be surprised how "sexist" you can be with traditional gender roles if you make it fun. Domineering brute = boring, oafish and spiteful. Playfully sexist = Naturally instinctive for both sexes, funny, charming.
"Now that's my wife", or "that's my good woman" work wonders too. I've always found telling a girlfriend when she does something right "that's my little girl". I usually date women about 10-12 years younger than I am, so not old enough to technically be their fathers. But I've had more than a few women feel very comfortable calling me daddy, including women with good relationships with their fathers. When you are "daddy", she feels that pleasing daddy is part of what makes HER HAPPY. Look for little opportunities to praise her for a job well done. Find your own language for reinforcement and let it be something she loves to earn.
A good woman is a harbor for a man. Look at the way a woman's body is designed. Soft, inviting, smooth. Look a man's body. It is firm, tough and ready to work and protect. If you make the point to your woman that she is your harbor, she can relish that role because it is natural for a wholesome woman to want to comfort and nurture her man. Nurturing a man (through her kind words, touch, cooking, etc.) is her way of showing she is capable of nurturing your future children.
