Here's the deal swimmer. I think that the answer you get when you ask the question, "What do women want?" and the reality can often be at odds. We may say we want sensitive men, poetry, etc, but don't we really want men who are strong and assertive and a little naughty? We want men to be leaders, not that they push us around and tell us what to do, but men who have vision for the future, men who see 20 years down the road with us and know what needs to be done to get their safely and securely. Men who can comfort us when we need it and tell us when we are being brats and make us snap out of our brattiness.
Manly men. Men who respect us, build us up, see us as equals, but different. Appreciate our unique qualities and celebrate them. Men who don't need to be mothered.
I'll stand by my first comment. Supply and demand.
Haven't you ever heard the saying "Feast or Famine." "When it rains it pours." "All or nothing" It's just the way things work out.
I'm not an expert, but I've been there. And I survived.
