[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a woman. To me it means taking responsibility and getting it done. Whether that’s physical, at work, or within relationships.

So many men fixate on physical or financial. And view emotional vulnerability as a weakness. They can’t ask for directions or admit mistakes or nurture someone at a low point.

That all totally makes sense and are absolutely characteristics of a good man. But wouldn't those apply equally to women? As a man, I wonder what aspects of masculinity women appreciate that you would [i]not [/i]expect or appreciate in a woman. [/quote]

But that's the thing. These are the traits that ARE rare in men. Women have these in spades.[/quote]

So what you want is for men to be more like women? [/quote]
Men who are caring, good listeners, emotionally vulnerable to their women are sexy.   It doesn't mean he needs to ugly cry in order to be emotionally vulnerable.  It just means he's willing to talk about his emotions to his wife/gf.

IMO, there are physical traits that are clearly masculine vs feminine, but then there are the non physical traits, like character that is not so obvious, things like being protective of their family - and while a woman can also be protective of their family, she has less physical prowess to physically protect her family.  Other traits are things like not being afraid of getting dirty - when I see my DH in his work clothes fixing the house, I find that sexy.  I don't find metrosexuals very sexy or all that masculine.[/quote]
