Women Like Masculine Men, Sensitive Men or Momma's Boys?

You hear women complaining about men today as being too aggressive, arrogant (like men of yesteryear), or that they are too sensitive (more like becoming feminized), and that too many men are "mommas boys" who want a woman to take care of them. Ladies, what do you want in men today? Many men will tell you that they cannot figure out what women want in a man anymore. Hell, many women are saying more and more that they do not need a man. My wife tells me that women are looking for men who can fill all the squares to meet their needs whether it is to take control, be a strong man for them, be sensitive when required and being supportive of them (despite what many say that they can do it all without a man's help) and yes, they would like to spoil their men for sexual or non-sexual rewards in their own way. Do you agree?

 

There is no conflict between being masculine and caring. Masculine energy means taking initiative... going ahead and DOING something.

 

Your wife is a very wise woman, listen to her!! You may have some nice rewards coming!

 

Different women want different things in their partner. Some girls go gaga over the masculine type, some want someone sensitive. I'd personally like a good blend of the two, but it's hard to find that.

I don't like momma's boys, usually, though. Men with an unhealthy attatchment to their moms usually have some major issues I really don't want to deal with. But that's me speaking from personal experience. My ex-husband wouldn't let go of his mother's skirt long enough to have a life of his own. It's one thing to love and respect your mom, and quite another to never be able to leave her side. How on Earth can a man expect me to be there for him if I'll always come second to his mom?

 

Uhmm i sometimes confuse myself with my needs, its not fair to exspect a man to know what we need at different times,

those that exspect them to just know, should go ahead and date a cameleon, all guys at least need hints on what there meant to be doing

 

There are woman out there that just likes or loves a man for who they are regardless if their sensitve, muscle men, or mama's boys. I believe if you believe in yourself that is all that matters. Dont think about your outter appearance its about your inner apperance.:wink:

 

I am not sure of the exact definition of a momma's boy, but I take it to be a boy/man who is incapable of taking care of himself and might even take his laundry to his parent's place to get Mom to do it for him. Also maybe add in that his Mother makes decisions for him, even after he marries. (Similar to Divine DH's description).

If that is a momma's boy, then no thanks. But as Mosk has mentioned, a nice combo of sensitive and masculine is great. Whatever comes naturally.

 

I'm a tough guy all around, but I can be sensitive.
For example my tears can cure cancer, but I never cry.

 

There are different levels of "Momma's boy", but you got the worst cases down pat! The more mild levels are just guys who talk to their mom every day on the phone, and are very, very close to their mom, but for the most part know how to live on their own. Those ones are fine! The others? Those ones are annoying. hahahaha

 

Can I just prefer an average brother with a little humor?

 

Actually, can i go for this aswell please lol

 

I'm on mescaline and feel pretty sensitive as I watch the walls wobble.

 

uhhhhm what ?

 

I guess I'm closer to the type in bold. I talk to my mom about every other day. I go over to her house on most weekends. She's done a lot for me, and I love her. But I take care of myself.

 

Show me a man that loves and is good to his mother and sisters if he has any and that's a good man right there. Chances are he'll treat the other women in his life well too. I like a man that's close to their mother but not in an unhealthy way such as not making a move without mom's two cents or one that is not capable of taking care of his own shit, or just lets his mom meddle in his biz.

I like a masculine man with just the right amount of arrogance sprinkled in, as well as confident, and somewhat sensitive when need be. Not one that will start crying at the drop of a hat or is too clingy or needs constant reassurance etc. I like/want a man who knows who he is, does his thing, knows his worth, a little cocky and self assured.

 

This is so true! Those who have nothing but negative to say about exes, their sisters, mothers, and other women throughout their lives have ISSUES. I have no interest in a woman hater.

I like a masculine man...not arrogant...definitely confident. He knows who he is and how to go after what he wants.
