If women find strong/tall/authoritative men attractive, do men find it attractive to be stronger/taller?

Women like strong men. I don't know if this is normal, but when a man is authoritative, confident or strong, while it does give me a sort of helpless feeling, I find it really attractive. Is that what most girls get? Also, I heard that men tend to like feeling needed and wouldn't like their girlfriend to be physically stronger than them. Is this just the reverse of what I described in the previous paragraph? I noticed that men are quick to carry things for me. While this is polite and sweet, is it partly to do with a desire to 'feel needed'? Do men prefer to be taller and stronger than women?

We do, but you do have one thing mixed up. You like those qualities in the form of appearance, not actuality. What I'm saying is that a guy could look like he has the qualities, but don't. Then their are guys you would think are wimps, but the guys that look like they run sh*t wan't dare to step on the guy you would suspect a wimp. To wrap it up, I'm not tall, but I'm not short. I'm skinny and don't have much muscle. I'm what you consider a scrawny looking guy, but anybody that really knows me, knows somebody has to be retarded to want to get in a fist fight with me. I'm dangerous with my limbs. The thing is I don't attract girls. So, I know in fact that those qualities you mentioned goes only for appearance.

I'm not going to lie I do get a sense of satisfaction when I help a woman carry something or do something typically considered a man's job as a favor for her. I can even get turned on from it in a way if I'm helping a woman I'm attracted to but I've also helped old ladies out who I have no thoughts of reproducing with. I like feeling needed in a way so yeah I probably wouldn't date a woman stronger than me. Women like to be needed also though, just in a different way then men.

Thank you for your opinion. I wonder if this is what most men think. I also hear that men like it when women cook for them. Is this true, even in the case of offering them water or tea?

Yeah it makes me really happy if a woman cooks something specially for me. If she offers me water or tea or any drink it shows she is polite and caring.

yeah I get turned on by feeling helpless to them but sometimes I wonder if that is really healthy because how can you have a good relationship with someone you aren't comfortable with?

i dated an older guy and he was not that tall but he was strong, authoritative, and well educated and I was always a little intimidated especially because he was older. I was turned on but it wasn't a healthy relationship in the end.

Of course. That is just how we are, and it is opposite for our side. We love girls that are smaller than us. That's just how the world works, and it's just fine...

The answer to all your questions is yes.

We lose attraction if she can do everything herself and never needs us FAST.

Of course it does.

Yes!

I like feeling needed and doing "manly" stuff for girls. I like being taller and stronger, but that doesn't mean that I want weak or short girls. I like fit, tallish girls, 'cause they're strong and tall enough to look womanly, hot and elegant yet smaller than me so I'm the bigger one. I don't know if that makes sense LOL. I like helping women with physical things, not just hot girls, but all women.
