I am going to let you guys in on a secret.  I write about butterflies and drawing bubble baths because part of me IS a very sweet and sensitive guy.  It didn't bother me (or any of the posters now wringing their hands here) when Leonidas mocked me for being so fluffy.

Part of me isn't so fluffy.  It may perhaps be something only Leonidas and I would understand

quote:

ORIGINAL: Leonidas

It means a fierce, and to an ousider unreasonable, pride in the group to which one belongs.  It's something natural in men who retain something of manhood, and have not been fully convinced that individuality is to be valued above all.  It's why you see "Semper Fidelis" bumper stickers, and club colors proudly emblazoned on the backs of biker jackets.  Men with a little sand left in them understand it, whereas potato shaped, pasty faced men who march along in the uniforms of bland faceless commerce do not.

quote:

Holly, i have to say out of most women i know, you are the exception not the rule. Most women still instinctively gravitate towards Men who are capable of protecting them or giving then security and leading them. Just because a woman is capable of providing for herself doesn't mean she doesn't gravitate towards Men who will be security to her and protection.

Women TEND to like men who they feel they can protect them

Hypothesis: In our evolutionary past, females select males on the basis of their physical prowess which is often related to their ability to provide. Fighting with another male risks injury which would reduce her mates ability to provide. So, while they pick males for their aggressive nature, they seek to harness and direct it so as to maximize long term potential for the males ability to provide.

Pull your head out of your ass long enough to realize that women are highly capable of taking care of themselves. I can and have for a long time.

What part of "in our evolutionary past" did you not understand?  I didn't say "last week" nor did I say "last century" and if I had, I would agree with your response but I didn't. 

I find it rather interesting how reactive some of you are, glancing at a thoughtful post only looking for insults and or wrongdoing.

Damnit Angel...you need to quit making me think!! I am going to hurt myself and it will be all your fault.

Ok...i see your point. I may be different because i can care for myself/family financially, have a fierce streak of independence, and will go verbally toe to toe with anyone when the need arises.
