This is complete BS for feminist women who want eunachs not men.
This is about a rehab campaign for the Political Correctness emasculation of men to resume since we see time and time again that real men do step up to save the day.
Did anyone else notice the stories of MEN stepping up to rescue those children on the bridge? (apparently the girly men nearby did not do much)
Women tend to be attracted to those who are “good providers.” To be a good provider today takes a certain skill set that has to do with conplex abstract thinking and nothing to do with being a manly-man.
One need only to look at how society rewards jobs that entail physical labor as opposed to specialized skill sets to see where manly-men stand.
Well, maybe SOME women.
Why is it women are attracted to men in uniform (firefighters, police officers, military, etc.)? Those are all masculine type jobs and the vast majority of the men look masculine.
I don’t find feminine looking men attractive at all. Whenever I have to fight with a man for the mirror, I run. ;o)
It's been a long, looong time since I was a single man playing the field, but IIRC an awful lot of the women I encountered during that period of my life were intrigued by men who they perceived as somehow dangerous or risky to be with. Good looks as typified by men like John Edwards or Leonardo Dicaprio were not as attractive to the women I knew back then as were guys typified by actors like Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood, or Steve McQueen who may not have been pretty boys, but had cultivated a "tough guy" or "bad boy" image.
That may have all changed nowadays. I wouldn't know myself, since I am happy to be able to say that I have been out of the dating scene for several decades and don't miss it at all.
Hmmm. And here all this time I thought chicks liked to be manhandled and spanked.
exactly my thought; what the women want is a stay at home pussy cat, who will look the other way, while they have sex with the construction guy next door....
Honestly, women aren't attracted to such men at all - they just need them for economic stability. Unless the "provider" also knows how to push the "lover" buttons, she'll be spending some long afternoons with the pool boy. ;)
Women can't accurately define what they are attracted to - they tell researchers what they think they ought to want, and that is very different from what they actually respond to.
“Women searching for the perfect partner avoid macho men in favour of feminine-looking types whom they see as more committed and better parents, research has found.”
Hence the problem with today’s younger generation of males - they are mental and social castrati who swollow hook line and sinker political correct garbage.
We were better off when men were men and settled their differences like men instead relying on a corrupt and ineffective judicial system. We were also better off when we defended our national rights with gunboat diplomacy.
Gurlie men are the pox creating today’s counter-culture.
Having lived in environments for extended times that value both the manly-man and the girly-man, I can tell you that neither is what the stereotypes portray.
The so-called girly-men are apt to be better educated, therefore more aware of diet, nutrition etc. and able to afford the time/money it takes for personal trainers or at least gym memberships.
The so-called manly-men in manly men jobs often start falling apart by age 35 via poor diet, dangerous work, etc.
We’ve reached a point where the majority of physical labor jobs are among the worst paying — often going to illegal immigrants. And the jobs with extremely narrow skill sets, such as math calculations/models for entire market sectors in the stock market, are extremely well paying.
Worse, the generalized skill sets that manly-men used to take pride in, such as changing oil in the car, basic carpentry, etc. are no virtually useless or minimum wage jobs.
You're exactly right, there. We're heading toward an economy which will leave us with a lot of unemployable in-betweens.
Would you like to rephrase that?
You said: What kind of people name their male children jamie and other such names in the first place??????

Probably the same kind that name their female children “Jools”
I distinctly remember guys working on their cars on a Saturday afternoon. Haul out the oil from a case in the garage along with a new filter, put the car up, and slide under. While you’re at it, check the brake fluid and tranny. Guys took pride in all of that. Now you can get it done for less than it costs to take the family out to MickeyD’s. Tough to take pride in something that can be done for so cheaply. And the same is true for alot of those jobs.
It might be just that he's got an athletic body that Charlotte can't resist and she figures he'll pass along his athletic skills to her kid.
Because molded plastic isn't the same as the real deal.
Every woman who wants a sensitive man who is not afraid to show his emotions...
Deserves one!
This isn't really about metrosexuals. Just about genetics. They are one and the same some times, but this was just about people looking at features due to genetics.
