I don't think this is what is meant - though it probably does create tingles for some ladies. "Aggressive" in the sense of this study more readily translates into self-assuredness, independence (ie a mindset of plenty), and the ability to take control. You can do all of those things and still be a good dude. It's just how you express those traits.

I think the operative phrase is women like "aggressive HANDSOME men". Most men are just aggressive ugly assholes like me.

This is not your best animal thread

Pecker you have admitted on several occasions how your wife makes the money and you're along for the ride. Don't try to paint yourself as the alpha-dog apex predator, here.

What I got out of this article is that women are reinforcing toxic masculinity with their tendencies to be attracted to "cads".

Sounds like Gilette's toxic masculinity ad should have been under their Venus line.

To put it bluntly, women want men with confidence and firmness. They want a man. Not some dork who can’t decide if he wants to keep his dick or not.

I reckon it depends on the kind of aggression.

Germany recently had the "great fortune" of a sudden influx of aggressive males enter their country, as did many other Western European nations. I don't think they're the guys the frauleins are looking for, though....

If by aggressive you mean an a-hole, then yes.



It's not about going out and just wanting to be an a-hole. It's about being direct, assertive, and adversarial when situations call for it. Agreeableness is a female trait, not a masculine one.

I don't treat my wife poorly. I don't have to treat her poorly or break her down to boost myself. We have lines that we've established when it comes to how we interact, and I don't let stuff slide. If she crosses that line I'll check her. Like "Uhh...who the hell are you talking to? Have you lost your mind?" It goes both ways actually. It creates a level of respect between us that would be nonexistent if one party was allowed to treat the other poorly with no repercussions.

Its possible to be fully masculine, yet also have a soft side. You can be aggressive and take charge, yet still know how to listen to and value your wife. You can be tough and rugged, but also nurturing and loving to your kids.

I think the problem is when many men lean to one side or the other. You have your guys who are absolute asswholes who treat their wives terribly, dont know how to love their children, but because they provide money they think theyre a great man.
On the other hand theres the guys who cries while watching lifetime movies, has no say-so in his marriage, let his wife run completely all over him, and likely thinks the gillete commercial was oh so brave

The same feminists that say in public that men should be soft spoken, infinitely humble mice are the same ones that left all the theater seats in America wet when Christian Grey tied up Dakota Johnson and spanked her little arse.

I’m a dude and not even I like hanging around with dudes that act like pussies. Nothing is more pathetic than dudes that grovel after chicks that don’t want them.

Well the vast majority of women these days won't even admit it to themselves. And there is nowhere for guys these days to learn it. It's a secret you can't say aloud anymore. The secret being that what every woman really wants is to be dominated
