[quote]As I alluded to earlier in this thread, men want to "make love" to a woman - not a female with increased masculine characteristics. [/quote]
You mentioned firemen as the kind of men with traditional male roles. Women LOVE firemen. Firemen look like real traditional men too. Big axes. Fire hoses. Big engines. Uniforms. Women LOVE all that stuff. :)
Trouble is, not all men look like firemen types or want to be firemen types. Lots of men want to live and breathe in the world of commerce and actually prefer a woman who understands their world too. Or better still, a woman who works in their world in a similar role and not just as the little lady who makes their tea. Unless of course, they're easily threatened types.
A woman's ability to provide intellectual stimulation that lasts throughout the marriage is considered to be of greater importance than their cake-baking skills, (although most women have cake-baking skills anyway).
And then there's that question I asked which you didn't really answer properly. There are scores of women here on this forum doing the providing because their ex-traditional role men don't want to/refuse to do the providng.
So applying your theory on this thread, what does that make the women forced to do the providing to make sure their kids grow up okay and with a roof over their head? Some kind of half-man not interested in sex who no man would ever look at?
From what I can tell, those women are having no problem. They're dating or remarrying. And the men dating or marrying them have no problem with them having to do a "traditional male role" either.
