Robert Bly, one of the foremost thinkers about the psychology of men, was once asked what a man wants in a woman. He said that beyond all the outward and appearance stuff, a man ultimately wants a woman who will accept his shadow.
Originally posted by MimorWe all have a "shadow", things about ourselves that may remain hidden or things we may not like about ourselves. When a man feels connected with a woman or wants to be connected with a woman, he is responding on a conscius and unconscious level. He may be attracted to her, but he also is seeking out a person to help him become whole or more complete. I'm reading a book now about the wounds that all men carry. The woman, on some level, can represent a part of that healing. I don't know if I'm making any sense. Tell me what you think. Also, I would be interested on your take about what a woman wants in a man.

Originally posted by kirksey957It makes sense, and it also helps explain why some/many women end up attracted to someone they can "fix" (as opposed to "neuter," which is a whole different category of women). I've met many women who believed that they're just what their love interest needs to stop drinking/smoking/doing drugs/committing crimes/etc.

Originally posted by pawnhandlerI've been taking a poll where I work to see what the tolerance of women is about the man in their life. I ask them if they would mind if they were to eat lunch at Hooters. Then go to a strip club. Then a lap dance. The anxiety goes up with each question, but for most of them it doesn't make sense why their man would do such a thing.

During my early 20s, I did some extensive travelling east of the Mississippi and was fortunate enough to spend time residing in Savannah, GA, Charlotte, NC, and Nashville, TN. Eventually, I made my way back to the Philadelphia area and currently reside in a town 40 miles or so West of the city; a town so small that Andy Griffith and the Mayberry gang refer to us as their rural cousins.
