That’s because just as most men are attracted to femininity, or softness, most women are attracted to masculinity. And masculinity is hard. Gruff. Take charge.

It amazes me how almost universally women think like this. The perceive gruff hard as leadership traits. Well ladies some of the greatest leaders in history were not like that at all. General R. E. Lee being one of them. He was a gentlemen and exhibit none of those qualities. Audie Murphy is another. The greatest quality a man can exhibit is selflessness. The greatest bosses I had the fortune to work for were like that.

I love Audie Murphy, and have read many books about him and he was undoubtedly a soft-spoken man. But he had a terrible temper, badly hurt Tony Curtis by firing blanks directly against his stomach, and got into all kinds of fracases towards the end of his life. Not to mention placing horse racing bets with the Mafia!

That he had a serious case of untreated PTSD undoubtedly caused most of these problems but he was far from gentle.
