Boyfriend says he loves a fiesty woman

I am the complete opposite!
His previous partners (I know them) are fiesty, no nonsense type women who are never afraid to speak their mind ( which I really admire ). In their relationships , the disagreed by shouting and screaming according to him. My worst nightmare.

One of them can be quite nasty however and if she wants something, she will get it no matter who she hurts to get it.( think setting her sights on a mm and stopped at nothing until she got him)
I am not timid nor am I shy but I couldn't think of anything worse that having shouting matches with people or loudly exclaiming my consumer rights in shops, demanding and threatening behaviour towards service providers.
His mother and sisters are all very strong women also who hold no prisoners.
I expect he will get bored with me soon .
Thoughts?

I'd be wary of this. What they often mean by this, is they enjoy the fighting, might been find it sexually titillating. Some of the men who say this want a woman who's always like this - the moment she's not, the moment she shows vulnerability, they'll basically walk all over their female partners. It's because they expect their partners to manage their shitty behaviour, to push back. They are not willing to do the work themsleves - it doesn't dawn on them that what they need do is learnt to inhibit their own behaviour and not trample all over other people.

Also, I would not emotionally invest in him too soon. He might come from a family where ruthnlessness is prized.

I hate the word feisty. As PP said, it's sexist. He's probably just hinting about sex, wants you to dominate him. 🙄

This.

He's probably referring to feisty dominant women that turns him on in the bedroom.
