I had a realization the other day that I am highly condescending with women. I think I know it all and often de-legitimize their opinions because what I have to say is more informed. In my relationship, I often don't consider/respect her opinion and only do things my way.

How do you find the balance of being a leader to your woman without being a condescending and arrogant asshole?

Yes, it's a bad thing. Don't be condescending, be normal. Attractive men get away with being condescending because they are attractive. They are not getting laid because they are being condescending, but IN SPITE of it. To emulate such a behavior would be like drinking a ton of alcohol in order to be as good a writer as hemingway or as good a leader as churchill. Or doing a ton of drugs to be as good a musician as hendrix. Obviously, that doesn't work in real life, but tons of stupid people still try. Don't be one of those people.

Okay got it. How do I lead a women without being condescending ? I feel if I respect her decisions she will walk over me and not respect me. I usually revert to being arrogant, cocky and condescending.

Fuck all of that, just be however the fuck you feel, don't change your attitude for a bitch. If she's wrong then either let her be wrong, but if you are involved then show that bitch she's wrong. What the fuck guys

Yes, being condescending to a woman is bad, especially if she's your girlfriend or wife. This attitude may work once in a while to get you laid with a one night stand, but any girl worth making your girlfriend or LTR will eventually take off.
It's good that you have your own opinions and convictions and want to stick by them, but ask yourself why you have the need to squash your girl's opinions. They are just that, her opinions. Why do you give enough of a fuck to feel the need to squash what she is saying? If it's silly, laugh at her and poke fun at her. Be playful, not rude. Have fun with her.

if you’re attractive= not condescending, not so bad
if not attractive= condescending, very bad

I don’t really understand where you’re coming from with comparing leading to condescending. It sounds as if you’re commanding her to do things.
Its ok to have a difference in opinions, you won’t always agree on everything.
But as for leading in a relationship, you lead by actions.
Take the initiative, own your shit, don’t ask for permission. Assume the role of the leader and if she see’s you as a the alpha and a fit leader, she will follow.
If your woman doesn’t naturally follow your lead or give you opportunity to be the leader, then you have some vetting to do.

Apply amused mastery instead, don't be condescending it shows lack of frame and low self esteem

Why would you actively try to be condescending towards them?
