| More Emotional or More Manly?
Posted: 10/17/2005 9:34:49 PM | Do you prefer a guy to be more on the emotional side or more on the manly side?
In terms of manly, I mean a man who does what a RESPONSIBLE man is suppose to do. It's more like a traditional type of guy. Takes conflict and problems like a man. Everything that has to do with the traditional male model up to modern times. He can be quite a gentleman too.
In terms of emotional side, a man who is more caring and affectionate. Someone who always support your emotional needs. Someone who's always there for you. He comforts you with sweet words. He makes you feel fuzzy on the inside. He approaches people with warmth.
Sorry about the weak explanations. It's not really that clear. I hope you guys get what I mean by now.
What are your opinions? Try your best not to pick both! | |

Posted: 10/17/2005 9:38:04 PM | | I prefer a man's man and not an emotional one. I'm emotional enough but I do hope for passion, as long as he's passionate about the things that matter to him, I'm game. | |

Good emotoins are good, as long as they're all geared towards something. Not just there to try and be the sensitive guy to get the chicks. Passionate about a hobby, their life, relationships, are all good, but so is a manly man. Balance people, balance. | |

Where I come from they say:
"It takes a big man to cry....
And it takes a bigger man to laugh at him." | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 5:52:00 AM | I think it is possible for a man to combine both. I prefer a gentleman with good manners, who treats his lady with respect, and enjoys holding hands, and making me feel warm and fuzzy. He also needs to be what you call a "manly" man, and knows how to take care of the important things - like managing his finances properly.
Combine the two - and you have a great catch  | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 7:57:02 AM | I know men I consider 'manly' who are responsible, can take conflict stoically, are gentlemen and who also are caring, affectionate, warm, and support their partners emotional needs, can compromise and communicate...these are what a real man is to me. I also know women I can say the same thing about, including myself, and I consider them 'real woman'.
Being emotional doesn't make a man less manly, IMO. Always acting like some macho version of a movie tough guy doesn't make one a real man to me either. Just as acting all helpless and fluttery doesn't make one a woman. | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 8:29:14 AM | | God, this is like picking the lesser of the two evils...probably more manly. I dont like guys who are over emotional...i dont like it when men feel they have to tell me exactly how they feel all the time, all i have to know is that you like me, and i am satisfied with that. i dont like it when guys constantly feel like they have to earn my affections. That is so annoying. I can put up with a guy that has to always be at the gym, or working on his cars...at least that way, i will never feel smothered. | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 11:28:54 AM | Teddy Roosevelt had a good mix when it came to manhood, which basically took in chivalry from the Knights of Old, The Code of the Old West and mixed in some Rudyard Kipling besides:
"Youth
I want to see you game, boys, I want to see you brave and manly, and I also want to see you gentle and tender. .... Courage, hard work, self-mastery, and intelligent effort are all essential to successful life. ....Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike."
Manhood
"A man's usefulness depends upon his living up to his ideals insofar as he can...
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. ... All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune-make for a finer, nobler type of manhood.
.... Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life." | |
