Its not about being "programmed" its a matter of respecting someone and coming to a decision together with neither trying to keep score or playing a role. Its just common human decency and respect.
I think this is an interesting thought. Not to make this about "race" but I would say, black women are "expected" to be confident strong and assertive (and of course we all know what negative stereotypes are rolled into this one). These traits are called "unattractive" for black women, and we are not supposed to be any other way. [Kerry Washington has some great thoughts on this in a recent interview about black women being in the damsel i distress roles. http://bit.ly/ZoguS9/
So I honestly think it depends on the package. Soft-spoken woman who is assertive and confident: "Hot!" Woman with a loud booming voice who is assertive and confident: "too masculine." Super short small cute woman who is assertive and confidnet: "hot!" Taller, bigger woman with same traits: "too manly"
I honestly think it is pretty context specific, unfortunately. Someone like me? Probably expected of me, and doesn't add to my perceived attractiveness, and perhaps takes away from my perceived attractiveness. Sofia Vergara-type? Probably expected of her too. Kristin Kruek type? Probably considered intriguing and "hot."
I am absolutely attracted to that. The girls I date are always very self assured and confident girls, I couldn't imagine dating one that isn't.. I'd feel like a parent. However, I consider myself a very self assured guy, there's no way any girl is going to walk over me.
Yes, I'm attracted to it as well. My girlfriend can be quite bossy at times and I'm a very quirky person. So in the end, we balance each other out. I have so many quirks that I think it would be a dealbreaker for most women. It's what makes me unique; however, could be annoying or frustrating to certain women.
I have also found that men who are very aggressive and pushy because they are confident (or simply arrogant) will often seek out women who have the same traits, as well though. This is slightly different.
Yes. I attract guys like this and I am kinda like this.
women like masculine men and men like feminine women. The end.
