I was just perouseing an article in the sunday time titled " what's a girl to do?" the main topic of descustion being that most 30 something women can't find the right man to suit their individual tastes,
one of the captions being "the tragedy of feminism is that women have created a generation of men that don't turn them on" is there any truth in this statment? what does the modern woman really want from a man? & what do most women class as a ' quality' man?

I am just working up to posting a question to all these complacent women who say "Lucky, lucky me....My husband is my dream man....he is mine,mine, mine!"

Sweet.

To answer your question...I do not think that feminism is to blame. I think that feminism has done a lot of good.

If I believed in God I would blame him (definitely not a her) and say there is a design fault in men. But it is redeemable!!!

Also....women can be too picky!!!

I am a therapist and try not to take sides.....I think John Grey is a great bloke and his book about Venus and Mars and all the spin offs, have a lot of truth in them.

In the old days, when women were more likely to be economically dependent on a man, there was a practical reaosn to stay in a marriage.

Men need to work harder emotionally. This is difficult for them because many of them have been socialised into a Man's World. Others have been taught not to show emotions. And the rest are lazy and women let them get away with it. Most men have double standards....about all sorts of things. Many men used feminism - agreeing that women should work and not be financially dependent...

but not taking on their share of the housework and child care.

having said that - there are a lot of lovely decent blokes out there, and it is worth holding out for the right one. If the right one doesn't come along - I believe in Education. Pick the nicest one possible and educate him!!!

In the nicest possible way of course.

What I want from a man is honesty, sensitivity and openness. I want him to understand that I am his equal but that we are different. I like sex just as much as he does but I am likely to have different needs. If he tried his best to meet my needs, I will work very hard to do the same for him.

A quality man is self-aware and fit.

Good luck, all you real women out there!!!

I think the the description of a "quality man" has basically remained the same over time....
A man that is honest, Faithful, Non-violent, communicative, loving, kind, patient, hard working, supportive,funny, and has down to earth day to day values and life goals.
Much like, I always hope, that men wish for in a "quality" woman.

My answer to that question is: A man that would be affectionate, and do nice things for no reason, they think most of the time it's all about sex but it isn't. It is about showing how you feel and not being so closed. Women want a man that will be open and honest, trustworthy, kind, sort of edgy, and the most important thing for them to know is someone that you can be yourself around

Quality is being self sufficient but still asking for help if you need it so you don't come off as a macho prick. Quality is knowing when you've stuck your foot in your mouth and it's time to shut up go home and show up tomorrow with flowers. Quality is taking care of her first in the bedroom. It is caressing her face in front of your guy friends and realizing that she is damn good to you and your lucky to be loved and not trying to act like you could take it or leave it. Does that help?

For me there is no prefect man but i look for a man who can make me laugh and who i can have fun with.

I also look for someone who i can trust and be able to talk with as well as someone who has the same interests as me but also who has an opinion it would be boring when we agree on everything.

The most important thing is the first kiss and the the way he is with me, i mean his behaviour his body language the way he is if he is serious or a fake.

like i say they ain't a perfect person for everyone but when i find some who feels right for me then i take each day as it comes having fun along the way.

Judge a man like a horse, a bunch of horse loving girls got talking and we discovered that what we like about horses, is true for men.

Big powerful animals we can control,but suprise us occassionally!

Should have a kind eye, good temperament, be the right height, have good legs and rear end.... and very important for one of the girls have their own teeth.... pretty much sums up the perfect horse.... and seems to sum up the perfect man too.

It gave us hope, since there are good horses out there.... there must be some good men too????

A quality man will always know what to say and when to say it. He will always make you feel better when you need cheering up. He will do his bit in the house without even asking, he just knows what needs doing and does it. Also he knows what you want between the sheets, every little thing you want and doesn't stop until he has full-filled your inner desires.

One who is solvent, but not mean. One who is clever, but not a nerd. One who has a sense of humour, but isn't a fool.
One who is sensitive to your needs, but knows when to take the lead. One who always leaves the toilet seat down, but doesn't drip over the seat. Or the floor.
One who is kind to children and dogs, but doesn't allow your parents to interfere in your life. One who is confident, balanced, well adjusted and wants to get married and have babies!
