"Women say they want "sensitive" men who cry easily. My observation is that that's bs and that they want strong, brave men." No, women want a man who is sensitive and who cries easily when bad things happen to the woman, but they want men who are strong and brave when bad things happen to the man. It is an important distinction, and one that has been drilled into me.

But SOCIETY would say- verbally- that it is not "good" to do any of those things. And I think even children believe that it is not good. I think even the one's who DO such behaviors probably would agree they are "wrong"- but on some deeper level they know they are gaining by doing them. As for women- women SAY they want those things- but I would argue they know they really don't. They know what kind of men they sexually respond to- of course that's assuming you mean what women want sexually. I think what women want sexually and what women want to be around when they aren't interested in sex is quite different. On to men. Men never say they want women who are intelligent with good personalities when they are being honest. Youth, beauty- these are the primary attributes. I agree. And when men are honest I think they'll admit that. Although they probably won't admit it on Oprah.

My observation is that that's bs and that they want strong, brave men. hmmmm I want to be strong and brave and the man to be even stronger and braver!

>>Women say they want "sensitive" men who cry easily<< Oh, ick. Double ick. Ick, ick, ick. Never. Guts are important. Brains are a sine qua non. So is a sense of humor. Size matters. Being able to lick his eyebrows doesn't hurt. >>Men say they want women who are intelligent and have a good personality. I think they want, first, sexually attractive in physical ways (the obvious), then, if the man has the value in the sexual marketplace himself to command them, he will look for personality attributes as add-ons.<< Can't speak for men but I know for a fact that some men think intelligence is attractive, and given the choice between a gorgeous but dumb woman and a good-looking and intelligent woman will choose the latter. Being able to suck the chrome off a trailer hitch doesn't hurt. Or, as William Blake put it: What is it men in women do require? The lineaments of gratified desire. What is it women do in men require? The lineaments of gratified desire.
