Hey House!!

I hold the opinion that the best man for me is a sweetheart, strong in decision making, financial and career wise, but very soft when it comes to matters of the heart.

I'm not talking about a momma's boy or a cry baby - there is a difference!!

I am talking about a man who is in control of his emotions, but has emotions to control in the first place
tongue

However I am not sure if any men want to be like this at all.

Check out the poll.

Haha, you're in the minority.
Most ladies like 'em tough cheesy
Am I wrong, ladies?

What would be your definition of tough?

I know a lot of my friends have a no - tear rule, not crying - TEAR!! Not now, not ever, not on the wedding day, not ever.

They believe men shouldn't have tears.

But I. .  lol, want a human being not a robot, and I want the truth, and not a man who straightens himself and puts on a front just to address me.

There is something very fascinating and alluring about a man who is composed, but on rare occasions, you see him be human, and feel the way I do. If he never cried, I would not be able to differentiate between levels of pain, and I prefer implosive than explosive. I don't like men who shout "I SAID I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!!" - not a good point for me. I would prefer the strong silent type tongue

(I wish to modify the poll to make option 2 and 3 the same option - but I guess the totals will just be added together - they are basically the same idea).

Well, it's nice to see your type for a change. I'm not bashing you, I'm just stating the norm.
There are still many soft guys around though, so you'll find one for sure.

Me, I've been hardened by my experiences in life and with women. I'd love to shed a tear every now and then but I simply can't cry no matter the situation (except in extreme physical pain).

I like a guy who is not afraid to show his emotions.

If I laugh, he laughs with me.
If I cry, he crys with me.

I want a man who is not afraid to express by words and back it up with actions.

Wow, this is turning out to be one of those threads where ladies claim one thing and do the opposite in the real world.

It's common to hear ladies say that a soft guy is a no-no because they want a guy who is tough and can make them feel secure.

so why all the forming here? cheesy

I understand your stance and at least you do not pretend to be soft. wink

So you dont cry? What if there's a situation where you had to be there for your wife/gf and it is so solemn that she's crying you would laugh while she's crying?

Honestly, this is beginning to crack me up, haha.

Of course, I won't laugh at her.
I'll just say sweet words to her and soothe her so she feels comfortable to cry and let everything out.
But cry with her? no f3king way!!!

a soft hearted guy in issues of the heart tends to be soft hearted to certain degree in other areas.

This is what happens when one argues with an immature person. They start attacking you personally, Haha. cheesy

No we're not forming!! Typically, with no insult intended, the louder more brash ladies, need more agressive and louder and macho guys, whilst more sensitive ladies, find a deep and strong type very attractive.

You will find in my group of friends, my most insecure friends shouting that they want macho guys, whilst my quieter mroe reserved friends saying that they like sensitive guys, but beware, a lot of insecure ladies like gentle guys too, because they'll be gentle with them.

Do not believe that there is just ONE view.

I'm tired of guys saying being BIG and BULKY is what women want.

Find what you're woman wants, but most of all be what you want!!

Aaah and that's were particular preference comes in, and also complexity. Don't mistake issues of the heart, with anything that could casually make a guy feel something. Issues of the heart mean deep, important, issues, not just "Honey the car ran out of petrol" *sob*

But like deaths, if *God forbid* a child of yours died, and you cried by yourself, or if you almost died.

I am not saying buckets of tears, but we have tears, I have a younger brother, he has mastered the art of masking his emotions, and finding out where I stand with him and what I do that really gets to him is a lot more difficult.


It seems these days men suffer more consequences for shedding a tear or two.

But for me, there is nothing more honest than a tear, especially from a sincere guy. On my wedding day, if my guy does shed a tear from the happiest day of his (and my) life, believe me I will not punish him!!

Sorry but yes, this is off-topic - though I did not read the initial post that was supposedly changed.

Where's the challenge in that?? Not a lot of people are where they want to be, leaving many women the false hope of 'changing a guy into a better man'.

I get what you mean though - if you're referring to people pretending, but I'm talking about aiming for better.

Sorry re: derailing. My bad.

I get you on your last statement, but most times, if one doesnt know who they are, its difficult for them to know what they want.

I like a tough guy who handles me softly when I need a shoulder. In other words,
a manly guy with feelings.
