lol definitely not. There are basic things you expect from your partner . . . beyond that you just have to learn to adjust to the other minute issues she brings to the relationship. If you're looking for a clone of your father maybe i shld suggest u just marry him because you wont find any. |

Never said I was looking for a clone. Like any human, he has good and "bad" sides.
But when it comes to NOT RELYING ON A WOMEN TO DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU, that's one majority stance I'm not weavering on. It's what I was raised up with, what I've come to appreciate and what I WANT
is that ok for you?

lol@post The rhythm of relationship and interaction between two people is a dynamic one, it is never at static state. So there is no fast rule by which a man will relate to all women in each of his relationships. He might be kind and compassionate in his relationship with Ms A and willing to rotate roles with her, but then he meets Ms B and he is carefree and unconcerned about her emotions and he is hardly around to assist her, then he meets Ms C and the dynamic of that interaction could swing him to the extreme end where he acts brute and cruel to her and make her serve him like a maid. Of course in a marriage, the rhythm, whatever it is, has had time to settle and what you observe is a constancy of expression. If it is the Ms A type, then it will be shocking to suddenly see the man swing and start behaving towards his wife in the Ms C type. Wassup with all these men vs women, "who is stronger, who is weaker" stuffs???  |

At least he makes sense as opposed to those who don't make "speeches"
"My papa didnt even cry when his parents died, he's THE MAN"
Utter idiocy.

Its ok, i'm just saying not to assume that your dad shld be the model for the ideal man. The good thing is you at least have an idea of what you want your man to be so the rest of your search is made easy. |

Not "model" of course, I definitely perfer someone with a better temper. He passed on his ridiculously hot temper to me. I blame him! but I do love how he treats my mother and it's the little things like not putting a burden on her because she's the "wife"/treating her like a second class citizen that I'm hoping for in mine.  |

You lost me at "Ms A". Uhh I guess I'll help you out, whatever. negro is saying the man's personality/mood will change relative to the type of person he's with at a given time. |

If we could design our own ideal man none of us would be on this thread. |

@ davidylan - Yes, you are right. All fathers are different - There is no right or wrong.
@sistawoman - I think your parents have it right. They are not doing these things because it is expected of them, just because of the respect and love they have for each other. Each relationship has "their thing" that makes it special.
I also believe the man should take the lead role in the relationship. I totally agree that if mom is not happy, the whole household will suffer.

First of all, a man that cries does not make him less of a man.
In my opinion some of the things that make a real man are: the ability to make decisions, act mature and be responsible, to name a few.
I like a man that can take can be a strong leader and at the same time consult with me. This makes me feel apart of the relationship and not a little girl who is taken from the hand. I am in the relationship with him and I want to have a say as well.
