    See the bolded areas above. Men like it when a women is vulnerable??? Most of the men I know and hang out with prefer strong, independent women. Maybe that's just me though :noway: Any man that "likes" a vulnerable woman might have some issues of his own

    Most men I know, including myself, like vulnerable women. Maybe it's because we feel like we can change them (analogous to the bad boy thing). Maybe we feel like they need us, which is also attractive.

    I doubt it means we have issues of our own.
    I believe there are men like that. I don't believe most or all men are like that.

    Indeed. Thank god that my boyfriend, and the partners of all my strong, independent female friends are not "most men".

    Nah, it means you are terribly insecure so you look for women that is worse to diminish your own inadequecies. That or there is a controlling streak that you need to take out on someone helpless.

    Do yourself a favor OP and quit saying "most men like vulnerable women". Most douche bags, perhaps, but not most men. I'd appreciate if you quit speaking for myself and most guys I know.


    :drinker:

    Real men don't like vulnerable women. Predators do...

    And men with White Knight Syndrome. I don't think all men who are attracted to vulnerable women are bad. Though I think the ones who are conscious enough of it to say so in the way the OP does might be.

    I think you might want to reevaluate this belief. Once you find a woman who doesn't need you to clean up her messes or coddle her to tell her things aren't her fault and she really is a victim, you will see how messed up you might be.

    I think most men in healthy relationships like strong women who have a clear sense of self identity who can show vulnerability from time to time.

    Men who seek out chronically vulnerable women to exert power over and fix in some exaggerated Pygmalion complex are something else entirely and end up in dysfunctional relationships.

    Fair enough, but anyone who walks through life thinking that they can change or save someone is asking for a lot of grief.

    This right here is what happens when you seek out people to fix and/or save.

    The publishers response to the original article:

    Upon closely reviewing Tuthmosis’ article, I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing in it that endorses eating disorders or slanders those who have them. He has simply shared knowledge and insights that can aid single men in their pursuit of sexual happiness without hurting women. While some of his statements may be subjectively interpreted, we’re not a scientific journal, and so should not be judged in that manner.

    Wow...........just wow!
