Maybe, I am just an old soul.

You are judging him by the roles he plays. He might not be anything like that at all in real life!

The reason men aren't that way anymore is because women send out messages that they don't need them for anything.

Or, maybe the men are intimidated...........

A real man is not intimidated by an accomplished woman, but seeks to encourage her success in whatever endeavors she wishes to pursue.

I was being facetious, lol.

Actually, in some cases, I think women confuse "intimidating" a man with "annoying" a man, lol.

There is a difference in being a strong woman, and being an overbearing woman. And, the same goes for men.

Most men want a strong, non-clingy, motivated woman who has a life of her own, but when a woman is continually questioning him, and telling him how great she is, and how much better her ideas are than his, a man tends to hit the road! And, vice versa.

So, I've found that there are certain women who constantly complain that no man is worthy of her, when in reality, no man will hang around when she opens her mouth!

AND VICE VERSA.......for the sake of equality.

Verrry true, but I do believe they are in the minority.

Especially If a woman is bright, brainy, high achiever....many men cannot handle it. (not my problem lol ) I have seen this as an issue with the church in that men are the "head" and often cannot handle the competition!

It's really sad that society has changed the roles of women so much, but that's another thread!

The emotional vampires that were in my life were draining me dry at one point and it did have a BIG affect on me. I had to just cut ties completely with both of them until things got better for them.

I enjoy being there for someone, but a person can only take so much!

Renda,
Absolutely the role he played in King Arthur because I do not know him in person.

Maybe men assume things before they really get to know a woman. The things women my age and independence need is not necessarily money and prestige, but companionship, friendship, and romantic passion.

Taken care of for me would be emotionally and not financially although he needs to be financially secure because I am not willing to take care of a man financially. Been there, done that, and bought the tee shirt.
