Search Results: things that impress you in a guy

It’s not as a straight forward question as it seems. It’s more of a question of one’s mindset/ personality.

I’ve seen myself and others go to strange/ silly lengths to either impress/ help our lovers but the ones that stand out to me is those who willingly continue to put themselves in harm’s way whether it be physically / mentally / emotionally.

I’ll give you an example: there was this girl I was talking to over the summer who just got out of a very toxic relationship. We obviously had plenty of chemistry but in the end she chose to go back to him despite the physical / emotional damage he’s done. I can completely understand if she chose another guy over me but not the ex. So maybe it’s Stockholm syndrome.

So I’m curious to hear some enlightening opinions.

One of the professors in the university spreads propaganda in our class (she must be paid by the government or something). And she does this with impression but I'm not buying it. One of those claims she spread was, that men are aggressive and that aggression is masculine and that aggression is a male's thing.

To which i interrupted "Well that it! We are all evil villains guys" and the class laughed.

But me personally I can't feel any aggression. Or even if I wanted to I don't like aggression. It's damaging to my health, it's stressful etc... and I got no time and no health to risk that.
I am laid back and calm but aggression is really not my thing.

2x2 Questions:

What do you think of her claims? Do you agree with that?

Does that make me less masculine or what just because I am laid back and calm rather than aggressive? And how will that impress women - positively, negatively or neutral?
