Qualities of Women have changed, what have men gained?

you need to take notes from ionlife.he's got the answer for ya. That's what we want a strong, protective man.listen to him

Many women these days to do the approaching. Its not really fair to say that things are getting closer to equal, the only equality women have is having the ability to aim for careers and vote, they still, the majority of the time, still cook, still clean, still raise the kids, still have a lower wage, so when it is equal I would then ask this question.

At the end of the day, I know the younger generations it seems the females are the more likely ones to approach the male now.

Agreed. Valid point. But. There is something about being pursued where it is just more fun for a man to do it! I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with asking a man out (not that I would anymore) and I am a very independent woman. However, there is still something about the traditional dating scene, it is more appealing for some reason. Just because we want to be equal in pay and jobs, doesn't mean we need to act like the man and you need to stop being chivalrous. Just my opinion!

Why can't a woman have both qualities? I thought that that was what it was all about.
I think that I have much more to offer and am more fulfilled with myself because of the things my mother and grandmother went through. I am a successful engineer and I still cook and clean my place as much as my grandmother did. So I have a more well-rounded contribution to the household.
Not sure where you were going with this question. Maybe ran into too many 1-sided women that are not taking advantage of the opportunities we have and still being capable of using the "traditional" roles to make a more quality-set life.

Yea you are right but what can you do if in a society that we live in nowadays is changing - actually has changed! Hey I cook - just don't really have to cook for anybody these days!

I agree! We had this discussion in my Marriage & Family course in college last night, ironic.
You can't have both. It's either the guy tries to do for you or you do for yourself but then not complain that it can't be both ways.

Hmmm. I am not bitchy or aloof. I am very independent and I love to bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan. I do check out guys and if one catches my attention? I will ask for his number. I am confident and sexy. So, not all women are like that. BUT, I see the girls that you are talking about and I agree with you to a point. If they want the independent, I can't cook title? Step up.

Because while equality is ramping up, I think women still tend to seek out the same thing in men as they used to in the past. A man who is confident, smart, handsome and make them feel like a woman and protect her and their offspring.

You can't cheat nature. You can spin it, change it, but nature will always prevail.

As for them moving towards "bitchy and aloof," I think this is the repercussion of the MTV generation which thinks that being bitchy is the new "black. " It is certainly not appealing and while they may attract the puppies who like to follow them everywhere and drool at every one of their moves, reality will eventually settle in and the men will move on.
