What do women really want?

@HisMountainGirl Sophisticated, a gentleman, providing emotional support (within reason), and respecting each other's role.

@MarkPaul sounds good so far…and?

@HisMountainGirl And... dominant, confident, and high status. But, not as a stereotype.

@MarkPaul okay, keep going…

@HisMountainGirl Well, that's it in a nutshell.

@MarkPaul you missed on of the main things we look for…protective

@HisMountainGirl That's covered under emotional support.

@MarkPaul that doesn’t cover physical protection but ok

@MarkPaul why not try for stable, well-rounded, and humble?

@basilfawlty89 Well, there are plenty of secondary attributes I suppose you could say.

@MarkPaul instead of bottling up your emotions, you actually engage with them.
Showing that vulnerability is courage.
And being able to do that shows growth, strength and resilience.

@basilfawlty89 That seems like a recipe for disaster and decline.

@MarkPaul no, it's a recipe for being authentic and leading with empathy.
It shows true bravery.

@basilfawlty89 It sounds more like a guidebook for girls to play with dolls. I'm talking about the real world with real women and real people in realistic circumstances.

@MarkPaul to you, it does. Because you listen to "alpha male" bs. You need to surrender your ego, open your heart and free your mind.

@basilfawlty89 I don't listen, I live it. And as a recognizable alpha male, I can assure you I have no intention of "surrendering" my ego. That's insane. Try using your mind instead of dismissing it.

@MarkPaul my mind is working fine. I based what I'm saying on psychological studies, history, and theology. You are merely being arrogant assuming you must know best.
You're 26-30, you have much to learn.

@basilfawlty89 I have life experience. That's not something to underestimate.

@MarkPaul but far less.

@basilfawlty89 Well, that's just disrespectful.

@MarkPaul no. It's chronologically accurate.

@basilfawlty89 🙄
