BUT....what's interesting, it that poor/erratic treatment that stems from hyper-masculine over-confidence tends to trigger attraction in a lot of women. Alpha-male behavior might be more biologically attractive than we want to admit. The "bad-boy" thing is nothing to be sneezed at. The bad-boy and the "nice-guy" are two distortions of intergrated, healthy, strong, masculinity.

And it seems that most of the guys in our generation, including me, are "nice-guys". Stable? Yes. Kind? Yes. but boring, weak and dis-passionate.


I believe this has been proven to be the case around the time a woman is fertile and relates to the strongest fittest genes that perhaps go hand in hand with 'wolf' like traits. However, I believe there is much more to it than the 'bad boy' image the rest of the 25 days of the month.

For me respect is a huge issue. I respect my H and what he does. For a time we lost respect for one another....now that is back and the affection and love back with it.

My H is not a bad boy, but he has a line you don't want to cross....as I guess so do I.

I wouldn't want to be married to a wimp OR a guy I could walk over. I do want to be in a partnership.
