I am - and I believe most men are - attracted to strong, confident women. For me, I look for that along with the increasingly-rare attribute - and gift - of femininity.

but women STILL want men to offer to pay for the date (although I suggest splitting it on the first few), open the door, call first, tell us we look pretty and be confident and strong!

I'm much closer to Gardener's age than newmama's, so maybe that's why I tend to agree with him, especially the way younger women seem to chase men. (BTW, I'm the opposite about paying for dates, first few he pays). How would you define this idea of "femininity"? Is it about opening doors, who asks & pays for dates, pulling your punches ?
