    6'0+ *kitten*.

    For about a 1/2 second I seriously thought you wanted a guy with a 6' *kitten*. My brain ran in circles laughing before it smacked itself.

    ^ That. I was giggling. :)

    The married kind. They're less needy and clingy, ya know? So much easier. They whine less, they don't just "hang around", and they're not looking for something long term. All of the fun and none of the pain.

    True, that! .... It's the perfect relationship, just like when you finally have grandchildren.... You enjoy them a little and take them out for icecream... then when they get cranky, you hand them back to their parents .... or in this case, his wife.

    Serious bonus :)

    Exactly!

    The "Man's man" type. Natural leaders. Alpha-types. I met hubby while he was my Combat Swim Instructor Trainer who got to drown my *kitten* (and I'm quite the accomplished swimmer and my combat motto is "when all else fails, play dirty") for 3wks before he could ask me out without violating fraternization policy. He's also a MCMAP Blackbelt.

    I'm also attracted to MMA fighters, Firefighters, SWAT men, Marine Force Recon, Rangers, SEALS, or any military special-ops type... Basically, if you are in a male dominated profession and you are considered the "elite" part of it at that, I'm ALL about a good game of "pinned ya" ;)

    well said!!

    Ok...I've got to say something.

    All of you girls...that say you want 'a man's man'...or 'alpha male'...or 'a natural leader'....are you really, truly serious? Because in my past experience...lots of women say they want this...but when they get it, it's apparently never quite what they expected it to be. And I'm not saying the guy is an *kitten*, that negates the 'man' thing. Assume he's sensitive, compassionate, generous, smiles (mostly that's reserved for you though...), protects his family, opens doors, is possessive...but not jealous, takes care of things around the house...including some of the housework if you work as well and it needs maintained...etc.

    But he's...a...MAN.

    Anyway...I really am curious how many of you really meant it. I mean, I know you've said it...and it's not that you weren't being honest...but how many of you have really thought of all that entails? The pro's and the cons as well?

    I've met one woman that truly feels this way, in my entire 36 years lol.

    GREAT question. I agree. Many woman want that kind of guy and then immediately set out to try to change him. Since I'm surrounded by men - 2 sons in their 20's and 2 brothers -- my 'research' :-) says women are more in love with the IDEA than the reality. :laugh:

    I knew when I was a teenager I wouldn't ever want an "alpha male" or a "man's man". They're usually emotionally exhausting.

    I'd be surprised if you get answered.

    I think it depends totally on why a woman believes she wants this kind of man.

    If it's because she likes the idea of being treated like a princess (i.e. having every door opened and every chair pulled out) and having a knight in shining armor to take care of all her problems, I think she will eventually get sick of it. If it's only about the way she THINKS it will make her feel, then she will likely find that the feeling fades and it becomes a bit of a nuisance. This is where the whole idea of a man smothering a woman comes in.

    If she has the stereotypical submissive streak, then there are times she'll love feeling like her man is "the boss," but the rest of the time, she'll hate it, and she'll eventually come to resent him for it.

    But if she's embracing the gender role aspect of it, then I think there's more potential that it will be something she wants permanently because she has accepted the biological truth that men and women are meant to complement each other, not to serve exactly the same roles in relationships. Thus, she is not threatened by his role as the provider and protector because she knows he values her role as nurturer, supporter, advice-giver, etc. The biological understanding is key ... that's something that is never going to change, regardless of how society changes, and if she believes that's how it should be, then she's not going to wake up one day, wanting something different.

    Another key aspect is how the MAN goes about serving this role. If he's over-bearing and domineering, everything is a competition, it's all about his need and his wants, of course the woman is going to say "This is not what I had in mind." But if he makes decisions knowing that her needs are every bit as important as his, if he seeks her advice, if gives her the same level of trust she gives him, etc., then I can't imagine any woman in her right mind suddenly deciding she doesn't want that.
