The Superman complex??

[OhhJim]

Let me ask you all a question, why do some men...go after the needy girl?

Well, it's more fun to date a needy girl than to NOT date a strong one. Because in order for anything to actually happen, she has to like me back, you see!

Strong, non-needy women are fine in theory, but just try to get a date with one!

I've found that asking helps!

Men are just wanting to be the heroes and also get the credit and glory and save us women the damsels in distress. That is just the way they are perhaps.

I have enjoyed reading the men and the women responses to my question!!

Geez I can be a nerd sometimes.....

Rather than thinking of it as "nerd", think of it as "socially challenged".

 

[seangoh]

perhaps in general men are attracted to women who hurt because it touches their emotional side of them too. And when the emotional gears kick in, it drives a man more. However, if he will use his head more, he will know that's not right. It's still better to get a girl who is stable and right at the point in time.

Men are afraid perhaps to show their emotions until they have to be the hero and then their emotions kick in!!

J, you're really pushing this "hero" thing aren't you?

Bonnie Tyler - Holding out for a Hero


Where have all the good men gone
and where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss
and I turn
and I dream of what I need.
I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.
He's gotta be strong
and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light.
He's gotta be sure
and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life!
larger than life.
Somewhere after midnight
in my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
there's someone reaching back for me.
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet.
I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.
He's gotta be strong
and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light.
He's gotta be sure
and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life.
I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone
somewhere
watching me.
Through the wind
and the chill
and the rain
And the storm
and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood.
I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light.
He's gotta be sure
and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life.
I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.

Quick! Hurry up and trump her "why are guys hero" question with a "why do girls date jerks" question!

That Bonnie Tyler song is also in the movie "Footloose" with Kevin Bacon!!
