A man should be a man. Nuff said.

A man should be whatever he wants to be. You certainly don't have to like it.

I am a healthy combo of both man's man rugged type and more refined/sensitive. At least I'd like to think! If you can't shed a geniune tear or carry a meaningful conversation, that probably makes you less of a man.

I think when Mr. Rogers was alive he likely treated his wife with much more respect and kindness than any macho man. Why are so many women unattracted to someone like him?

I don't know about Mr Rogers, but women want someone exciting and unpredictable. Guys typically want the same thing. Predictable is boring and nice guys are often way too predictable. Having confidence and being independent are two very attractive traits in both men and women. People like to be kept guessing and a bit of a challenge can be fun--it keeps that sexual tension going. It makes the initial attraction last longer. Many men just need to learn how to be more unpredictable and challenging, more confident and less serious.

What do you think of men who want relationships with women but are not the masculine ideal? In fact they look and act feminine. I am not talking about a cross dresser or transgender person, but just a man who has lots of female traits.

I am thinking of Mr Rogers. Soft, gentle, non athletic, small bones, weak chin, skinny, weak voiced and non assertive. Though really nice, supportive, communicative, easy going and pleasant. All the negative things associated with macho and manliness is gone in this person.

Would you want a relationship with a clone of Mr Rogers?

Fred Rogers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mr. Rogers was not feminine.
His character was just a genuinely nice guy.

I could never have dated Mr. Rogers.

Having dated typical alpha-males (e.g., testoerone=cheaters) and being unhappily married to a beta male (not feminine, but content to play second fiddle to my strong personality), I realize that I need a perfect mix of the two extremes.

So, you're saying that you'd prefer to be with a cheater who slaps you around a little? (sorry, that's the way your post looked)
