Why Do Women Like Men? II

A long time ago, in response to Dean's question, I wrote a post about what I like about men

I'd like to add:

• They are stronger than I am. They just are (or most of them are anyway) and it can be awe inspiring. Like when you need to move something heavy, and you struggle with it for days, and he comes over and carries it out with no more effort than it takes me to lift a small child. Then you get the double swoon - oooh, my hero & oooh, big and strong. mmmm.

BTW: I just went back and read some of the comments on Dean's original post and am amused by the number of chicks who said "the way they smell" - I did, too. Interesting that it seems such a universal trigger. Other very common answers; their rough hands, sense of humor/make me laugh, feeling protected/safe, being wrapped up in their arms...
