Courtesy of Kim, who had a conversation with a wise old friend of ours.
From a conversation with Warden:
A woman's ideal man is not one who is the new-age sensitive man nor the one oozing of sheer manliness and testosterone. The new-age sensitive man might be too soft while a woman can sometimes only put up for so long as the mother figure in a patriach family.
Her ideal would be a man who would hold her hand, be sensitive and listen to her when she has problems. However, he would have to be able to stand up and protect her. He would be gentle and loving and attend to her every whim. But he must be able to firmly point out her mistakes when she has made one. Correcting her and yet making it gentle and constructive rather than being overly critical. He will make love to her rather than have sex unless she wants to be taken and ravished almost senseless.
Her ideal man has to embody both ends of the spectrum. To be sensitive or manly at the right time and the right place.
True?

I totally agree, at least for me. Took me some time to figure this out though.
It gets abit tiring to always be the domineering one in a relationship for a lady. When this happens, no doubt, no oppression in the rights of women. But it also means an extreme role reversal of men and women. Then again, we have yet to reconcile this idea of women wanting to be treated like one but yet, not being discriminated. It's all about balance at the end of the day. What balance then? That we do not discriminate when it comes those same rights conferred to men.
It is an ideal, but it really is too much to ask isnt it? Could I ever be that?
