For those nights you stay in and wanna cuddle on the couch with a movie. Basically a girl who WANTS to spend time with you and isn't totally wrapped up in her independent life. An equal balance, ya know?

Men just want to be loved and wanted. Just like women want. It's that simple. But sometimes women take this whole "I'm so independent, I don't need a man nonsense" to a whole new level. And THAT'S when it becomes hugely unattractive and a turn-off.

Exactly. It's the balance. I don't wanna open every jar for her. And I don't wanna feel like that she doesn't want me around. Many women are just utterly incapable of getting that balance right. It's either one or the other for them.

Default well i'm not married or in a relationship

but when a hot co-worker who i wish liked me acts helpless and asks for assistance, I LOVE IT!!

but when it's an attention seeking domineering bore who knows i have no interest in her and she is just doing it for attention, I HATE IT!!!

That's not the same as need, though. I get want, but not need.

Okay, I guess "need" makes it sound like a cry of desperation. If I don't have the things I mentioned before on a regular basis though, the relationship would suffer indefinitely.

When you start doing the things that he expects to do for you. Like moving furniture, or changing the oil in your car. You're doing his "job" in his mind, so what do you need him around for?

OP's original Q: acting is not helpless, truly helpless is not an act. I provide assistance when needed, not when too lazy or when someone wants to emphasize my masculinity. I'm male enough, and I don't need to prove it for another with a command performance brought on by an act. I do not like the helpless act.

Eaves troughs/gutters are another good one. If you don't have guards they have to be cleaned. This requires you to get on a ladder or on the roof. How would you feel if your spouse fell instead of you? They need male help and shouldn't be afraid to ask for it. There isn't a week that goes by that my Mom doesn't need me to open a jar for her. No problem, Mom.
