Having a big brave guy at your side \u2013 even if only to boost your ego \u2013 is pretty irresistible, isn\u2019t it? But what about the sensitive, caring \u2018new men\u2019 we\u2019re all supposed to admire? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Yes, well maybe. But heroism and risk-taking\u2019s what really gets to us. You prefer a brave man to a wimp, don\u2019t you? Both for a partner or as a friend? Maybe because in the past women needed brave men to protect them and their children. A man who could hunt well and provide food. Even now, in our violent world, having a man around who\u2019s willing to protect you feels like a good idea.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from this excellent post no comment: Fortune Favors the Brave by Dr Chris Hart Chances are your mother always told you to go for a nice guy.
