Is it just me that is left stone cold by stone cold bastards ?

I just think "You arrogant fuck" and walk away without another thought

Mind you, I am not so fussed on wet lettucey lentil weavers either. A happy medium, I think.

I think there's a fine balance in bastardy though AnyFucker arrogance is always off putting, agree with the wet lettuce though.

I think finding that happy medium is so so difficult! That's the problem. My last DP was 6' 2", skinhead, blue eyes, built like a brick outhouse, cute bottom, big arms. When walking down the street with him approaching women would literally walk past with their gobs open whilst men would give him a wide berth! Devastatingly good in the bedroom but also mental, prone to odd bursts of violence and cuntyness. I struggle to find someone who looks dangerous but is in fact a pussycat underneath, kind to both animals and children but could beat someone up who deserved it if necessary!

Where do these guys lurk; are there any? I'm told frequently I'm expecting too much but I don't want the scenario I described from before, but I cannot cope with being with someone who's crap in bed or boring. So shall probably remain single for my remaining years of usefulness.

It was what I read re evolution in women.
No neutering isn't necessarily as hot. Ali Magraw, on steve Maqueen the ultimate true un caring bastard - it was about protection, he could sort us out in dangerous situation.
However I do find it hot, to see my Dh with our dc.

I don't equate the dangerous type with being muscly though. Men who have worked on their muscles and walk round in tops to show them off - scare me.

I spot them now Any Fucker but back when I was an idiot, I seemed to have a beacon for fuckwits.

I have been in a largely sexless marriage for 15 years.
last autumn, I had contact with an 'old flame' (by email no meetups)

I had 'fanny gallops' like you wouldn't believe.
you know when you go ski-ing and you are unfit and you become aware of muscles aching that you didn know you had???

that. I am still Shock although its calmed down now (ie gone - we met and he was elderly and I felt affection, but no more) but, oh, boy...

Wanting someone who looks intimidating to others is a bit odd. Why do you need someone who provokes that reaction Pollyanna?

TheFull yes I agree, I was once told by a therapist that women who've been through abuse/violence/trauma are often drawn to men perceived as dangerous as the subconscious assumption is that they would be dangerous/capable enough to protect you from it happening again. Its irrational though as it doesn't take into account them hurting you. She said is was a generalisation, but had been noted, and in my case I would say it rings true.

"womanwithoutasong"

"Biology overriding common sense."

"No judgement. I've done it myself. All those signals they give off such as square jaw, big nose, thick neck, brooding stare, extreme height and size, dominance, aggression etc., are a powerful flag designed to make us go giddy."

"Brute masculinity is difficult to resist for some of us. It's hardwired. Our bodies just shout louder than our minds."

"Do you think you'll act on it?"

That is such rot. Sounds as if you mean three quarters of a rugby team. Oh dear...

DH looks like he could be a git (think a mini sebastien chabal) but is the most nurturing man plus naughty with it. Win-win

Fanny gallops" Am loving your work, OP, and so going to steal that phrase.

Go with either AnyFucker's advice or (if you think you can pull it off without getting emotionally involved, Prawns.

Not just you. I've always gone for nice men. Not lentil weavers, just nice men. Even married one.

I don't know if it's innate or if, as a late developer, I was conditioned by spending most of my late teens mopping up friends who had had their hearts broken by the bastards and decided "not for me, thanks".
