The type of guy you want, doesn't seem like a man to me at all. Also I don't think the OP is anything like the type of man you want either.
And what is wrong with a man wanting to be a bit dominant of his surroundings? What is wrong with a man being macho or strong? Why is it in society now days these things are seen as negative traits? What is wrong with a man acting like a man?
Why does a man need to be overly emotional or sensitive?

A man shouldn't have to be a doormat to a woman, but a woman shouldn't have to be a slave or a b!tch to the man.
I want a man that doesn't treat me as inferior, that cares about what I have to say...someone I can actually express how I feel or my opinion without immediately being called stupid. I want someone that I don't have to be afraid of—if they're not too strong, they won't beat me up, if they're sensitive, they won't be verbally abusive. And you're right, that description doesn't seem like a man at all...at least not a self-proclaimed "macho" one.
And with that, I'm out. As usual, me opening my mouth and having an opinion (gasp! A girl having the audacity to have an opinion without consulting a man on how to think!? What's this world coming to!?) has blown up into something that's just going to turn to a huge argument and derail the thread, which wasn't my intention.
And for the record, there shouldn't be anything wrong with being strong and dominant (if that is in fact your personality), but it's another thing to say that a guy is only a man if he is strong and dominant. Not every guy is really like that deep down, but society makes them feel inferior because of that, and I don't like that.
