To like a man who knows when to bite his tongue?

[OneGreyCrab]

I don’t mean someone who bottles everything up, just someone who doesn’t feel the need to argue every point, every conversation or always “have the last word.” I find quiet strength, patience and knowing when not to react incredible attractive.

AIBU to think a man who can keep his cool (even when he could fire back) is underrated?

I would always argue my point so I would expect the same from my partner.

Yanbu, men are hottest when they're seen and not heard tbh

Strong, protective when needed, silent 🙌

Edit, and good in bed

My partner is in no way overly quiet, but he is a very peaceful natural mediator and it’s a beautiful quality. He never reacts emotionally or aggravates anyone. He’ll say something if it’s helpful, even if it’s not what I want to hear, but that’s it.

He was smiling and apologising before I’d even registered some drunk guy looking for a fight bumping right into him the other day, and we were safely on our way. I instantly pictured it all needlessly kicking off if I’d been with any of my exes!

I think he’s just very emotionally mature, empathetic and not a lot of ego. I’m much more the can’t relax til I’ve got the snide remark out type, but he helps me consider others and be better.

YANBU. People in general, not just men, who have to argue every single point (no matter how minor) and always need to have the last word are exhausting to be around.
You can see posters like that right here on MN. They pick apart what you say so they can find something to argue about and even when you tell them you're done discussing it they respond with yet more petty nonsense so they can get the last word in. Ugh. I think it has to do with their personal insecurity.
A secure man (or woman) doesn't sweat the small stuff.
