 Both to varying degrees. It's difficult to explain but a man who has and understands true love and possesses all the needs to care for his loved ones isn't constantly striving for dominance in any way. In other words, he doesn't have the need to feel or be powerful and is always open to compromise. A man who has all the needs to care for his loved but doesn't understand true love might feel like he's missing an essential part of being human; constantly attempting to fill that missing portion of his soul with the power he gains. Maybe I'm subjective but that's just my opinion.
