Oh please. That biological BS again. The standard C-D Relationships forum excuse to explain why certain posters are misogynists.

It's not misogyny - just nature revealed.

There are two reasons that women want a man.

1. Protection

2. Intercourse.


to break this down further.

Protection includes: physical security, power over other men, money, status, emotional security

Intercourse includes: sex , mental stimulation (a form of foreplay)

Nature seems quite ugly when broken down into such a matter of fact manner, but this is ultimately what makes women tick.

So we can see from experience, that 'bad-boys' are more able to provide these requirements.

I'm talking about women in general. Don't put women on a pedestal, except your mother. The best advice you can give to a young man. Chivalry is dead so the pedestal should be left back at the 50's.

Nope and nope.

1. Protection. I'm 6'1, I can use a gun and I'm a decent scrapper. I don't necessarily need a man for protection.

2. Intercourse. I've gone nearly a year without sex and I'm doing perfectly fine. There are other ways (some that are far more satisfying) one can stimulate themselves without intercourse.

I want a partner, someone with whom I can share lifes ups and downs with. Someone to grow with.

Chivalry is dead perhaps - nowadays you never know whether to help a girl struggling with a heavy bag or not.

so what is the correct thing to do here?

As her if she needs help. If she says no, move on. If she says yes, help her. The mistake a lot of men make is they just butt in and grab it...that's a no-no.

because men, guys, are not allowed to be doormats, push-overs, lack spines, but women are

They may not always like men who behave that way, but like it or not, it is still their idea of what a "real man" is supposed to act like.

Which is why I'm so glad I grew up with my Dad. He's a manly man, don't get me wrong...he hunts, fishes, rides Harleys and is a mechanic. But he's also respectful, a completely sweetheart and a big joker I grew up with an excellent male role model and perhaps this is why I find so many men to be 'unacceptable'. I never responded well to the super macho men, or the whiny emotional ones... I want a nice balanced man. Those seem rare though
