I use center weighted metering.  If there is a lot of darkness towards the center of my image, the camera will add brightness.  If there is a large bright subject in the center of my image, the camera will decrease the brightness.  Without flash I might make an eV adjustment for either situation.  I would subtract for a dark subject in the center and add for a light subject in the center.  This has nothing to do with using flash.  But if I were using flash, I would make adjustments as desired with the flash compensation.  It is rare that I would need to make an adjustment more than 1 full stop.
