I think I might do, too, ... at least, ... the stereotypical qualities, such as not being so quick to shoot for sexy-time with a woman, regardless of what "Mr. Nudge" wants. And how I'm actually quite sensitive, and I'd go as far as to say very gentle. (an OCD-style fear of hurting the woman makes me even more gentle than I feel I already am xD) There are women that appreciate these qualities, and it's a bonus if you have other stereotypically manly traits, such as strength, little competitive, emotionally strong.

If we go by the theory that opposites attract, it would make sense that women who are stereotypical women would want stereotypical men, because they--at least to me--seem to be opposites. My point, is perhaps you should be looking towards the women who are different, quirky, unusual, etc; these women that perhaps don't fit the stereotypical gender-role, and/or don't care for the knuckle-daggers, just as you perhaps don't fit the stereotypical gender-role for a man.

Sure, dude, it's easy to say that, but none of us guys know what it's like to truly be a woman. I doubt even a sex-change can fully show what's it's like to grow up and live in a world as a biological female, but I don't doubt it's an eye-opener. I know it might seem like it's super easy for women; I'm guilty of this thought myself. Imaging going out the door and feeling like a target to men, as though you could be assaulted at any given moment's notice? Want to walk down an alley at night? Think again. That alone would freak me right out; I already feel unsafe as a bloke who regularly lifts weights! Then there's the periods and the one later in life. There's of course the birth; that can't be fun; so many fears to that, the responsibility, the fear that knowing it could be your body that lets you down; that must be intense. No, dude, women go through more than we realise.

Perhaps the really "good-looking" women could go around and get things handed to them by a lot of guys, but what about the many women who don't fit the typical image? What about the decent women who don't squeeze their boobs to get what they want? Remember, there are also really "good-looking" guys who do the very same thing... minus the boobs.

Actually, I could be wrong here, but I think there are women out there that love a guy who is honest and says it how it is; there are women that are the same way. I personally can't be dealing with brutal honesty; I'm a man of tactics, at least... I can be pretty direct, but most of the time I'm too concerned with kicking up a fuss or hurting someone, especially when it comes to women; it might have something to do with my anxiety issues, though, since, an argument for me just means lots of anxiety.
