Is being a “damsel in distress” attractive to men?

A "damsel in distress" is often an attractive woman. But her actually being a damsel in distress isn't really what makes her attractive. Rather it's the opposite. Her being attractive is what makes her a good damsel in distress. You basically take someone and make them universally likable. Then you put them in danger. That makes you really want the hero to succeed.

But I mean if you take it to a smaller sense, yeah there's something about helping her that just makes her... cuter? Like I used to fantasize about dating a girl who didn't think she was worth much and convincing her of how great she really is.

I know girls have something similar, because they'll often fantasize about being the girl who fixes the broken guy. In a sense, you could call that another type of damsel-in-distress fantasy. Instead of slaying real demons, you're slaying figurative ones.

It could be..: that would be code for me to go rescue you and take you to some fancy hotel to fuck your brains out. Hope that's not too perverted to say

[Browneye57]

Yes of course. Guys want to save women. Usually they're saving them from themselves.
You're 30 and this confuzzled?

[shaysh87]

30 is still young.

[Browneye57]

Which changes nothing. You should know better by now.

[shaysh87]

Haha I don’t think so

[Browneye57]

You don't think so what. You just don't think. PERIOD.

[shaysh87]

Its not that i dont think. I think. Everyone else on here thinks. Its just that nobody else thinks like you

[Somoneelse]

Maybe for some men it is. But it think its kinda unattractive.

[awkward_author]

Nope. I have no interest in someone who is in constant need of rescuing.

[MickHardin]

No, I feel like a chump when I help a damsel in distress. I think "where's your boyfriend".

It is to an inexperienced man. Most guys know that women who do that are trappers. And avoid them... sorry hun tears do not phase me at all. Here's a handkerchief, cry all ya like.

[Throwdownxxx]

Like once, yes. But I don’t want to have to keep coming to the rescue if you catch my drift.

To some not to me maybe the first time but every single time no

Once or twice is cute. It can get old quickly though
