whoa-man


Happy Hump Day!

Going out tonight? Think twice before turning down a pickup line from a guy sporting eyeliner. Women prefer men with feminine features over more masculine faces, according to this study.

It says macho-looking men are perceived as less faithful, less warm and potentially poorer fathers.

The other day a friend and I were talking about dating girly men...not only in appearance, but in behavior as well. I once dated a guy who cried about 500 times more than I did.

To what extent can the typical woman tolerate stereotypically "girly" behavior from the man she's dating? Can men cry without inhibition around women, or are they still expected to take on primarily an emotionless protector role?
