My attraction to Danger Man, by the way, is not about my ability to influence him. It's about his commitment to living a life he loves, regardless of anyone else's thoughts or actions, including mine! We both have all of the qualities you listed, and if anything, I think he has more of what you call "woman" qualities and vice versa. But you know, in a relationship, that all ebbs and flows! |
I knew you'd reply.
I just don't see it as crap. Men and women are DIFFERENT. We have different needs and we go about getting our needs met in different ways. In the animal kingdom, males and females are different. There are defined roles that you are "born into". It's not crap it's nature (although there is crap in nature). I'm not talking about sexism here so get that out of your mind.
Glad things are going well with you and Danger Man. What you describe of him, is how I perceive a real man acts. And I'm sure you are just as high of character for you both to have attracted to each other, but (not to point out the obvious) you are both DIFFERENT at the same time.
Men and women have different qualities and characteristics, they are not just physical.
We are physically attracted but also attracted to the characteristics each sex has, that are different from our own.
