Yes, yes, Ustwo, we've gone over this before. You know how I feel, and I know how you feel. But I don't think you speak the absolute truth in this case (nor do I)... it's relative.

I'm just letting people know that not *all* women think men should be tough and strong and ready to fight, because some of us think it's unhealthy and sets a poor example for their own children's confidence and emotional wholeness. Not to mention that if a male does mention going to counseling (not casually in public/small talk, but when talking one-on-one with a trusted person), I find it very impressive and a mark of personal success.

I could care less how much a man makes, what kind of academic degrees he has, or how big his muscles (or other body parts) are. If the man is not emotionally intelligent(or at least not working on becoming so), he goes straight down the drain for me. I really admire people's work on themselves, and the ability to ask for help when needed; it speaks volumes to me of their character and humility.
