Was This a Draw?

By the way, I am far from chauvinistic and have been a strong supporter of women's rights all my life, and want respect and equality for women including my daughter. As a youngster, I joined NOW with my wife and her female friend back in my early 30s (yes, men can be members) to participate in protecting a Womens Clinic in Baton Rouge against a raid by Operation Rescue and the Lambs of Christ. The only other males there locking arms in the line to protect the clinic were two gay guys.

I will always believe in equality.

As I have become older, I have noticed there does seem to be gender roles and desires out there. Alot of women like to be taken care of in an emotional sense and respond postively to be calling a "cute girl," for instance. Morever, some even like to be taken if you know what I mean.

Anyway, I notice that while women can find pretty boys attractive, they generally want a man. In contrast, while I want a mature woman I can connect with and treat respectfully and maturely, and a woman who is perceptive and intelligent (big turn on for me) and has a good job, etc., I am willing to slide into that male gender role and treat her positively like a "pretty girl" if she so desires, and provide for her and take care of her.

You do not know how often I hear that from so many women (almost universal) in their 30s to 50s that while they want respect and independence and to be able to care of themselves (and rightly so), they like being held, and the feeling of being take care of at times. And they like being called a pretty girl in that well-meaning condescending kind of way. Though, the "pretty girl" compliment while maybe calculated sometimes (but sincere), it is not really condescending. Helps to throw "smart" in there at some point.

For me, I didn't initiate that kind of behavior. Instead, I was always radically about equality to almost an adrogenous kind of way. But I have learned to respond to women's desires for me to be a man and fill that gender role, and yes call them a "girl" when they are 45-years old because such makes them feel good. And I am sincere about any compliment I give. That's a basic rule.
