"qoe100" I think with women, you can "never" stop wooing us. If you want us to be your "love slave", never stop wooing us. This is a biggie, IMHO. For women, making love never ends. It's all that you do before and after the "event" that's important to us.
If I have to take care of you, remind you of things, pick up after you, etc. I feel like your mom. As your mom, it feels creepy to have sex with you and it makes me really resentful. I don't mind doing these things occasionally (if you're sick, etc) but if you make me feel like your mom, conscience, etc., don't expect me to swoon at your feet.

Musicgirl Be the way a man is supposed to be. I love this thought and am willing to take a little heat if necessary...but to take Quoe's thought a step further...in that we want someone strong and protective....it means we want someone who we can lean on if we need to. Yeah, we're all strong and independent women, but for me personally, I want a man who is a little bit stronger. Who isn't going to buckle. Who isn't afraid to stand up to me should I challenge him or stand up for me should the need present. Never be stronger in a hurtful way. Should I get frustrated, I'd like a man who can be strong enough to take me in his arms and say "it's ok"...not ask "is it this time of month"? Let's face it, no matter what the social climate in our culture has become, the physiology between the sexes has not changed. When a man is a man, a woman can be a woman. Treat us tenderly, strive to understand. A good woman won't want to walk all over you.
Love us and accept us for the strength, beauty and grace we possess not a pop culture ideal. We will bloom with more beauty than any centerfold.
