You're right - not all women are delicate flowers.
Maybe you're right - i do need someone who can, when needed, "put me in my place". I have an ex who would try to put me in my place, but i was a bit younger and i didn't really respect what she was trying to do. I didn't get angry, i just didn't listen.
Apparently we had a 6 hour ground breaking skype conversation that brought us together and part of it was her putting me in my place. I kid you not i don't remember more than 15 minutes of it.
This thread was spurred by a regular at work. She's straight forward, no bullshit, seemingly not overly emotional, etc some people might even find her rude. But i really like her. And we hit it off once making sexual innuendos in regards to putting her credit card in the slot. We went back and forth several times, not even laughing out loud, just smiling at each other pretty stone cold serious. It was wicked cool lol.
Anyway, on second thought i DO like the cuties that i can protect.
Maybe I'm thinking about this too black and white.
There's gotta be women who are laid back, thick skinned but still cute and gentle.
