gonna have to agree with a few posters, this thread is a little upsetting. not for any fair reasons, just the general shattering of hopes and dreams. my fiance is "ok" with this side of me, but definitely not her favorite. Its a little odd that every guy on here is thinking that every women wants a masculine man though, cause i can come up with four or five examples right of the top of my head of friends or family members whos wife is the "masculine" one in the relationship. even if women want their "protector/provider", i think its fair to say most women want a man who can be intimate with her, not sexually but truly intimate. which is fair to say is against the general view of masculinity, since being open and sharing your emotions with her isnt gruff.
but the moral of my post is, if im unfortunate enough to have to look for another mate, im taking repaid1 out with me to pick her out. bravo to ya dude.
