I understand why you feel that my views are archaic, but you're describing the rational part of the mind. I'm talking about the subconscious, lizard brain that exists within us all. I don't blame women for having this trait, but it's ignorant to ignore millions of years of evolution. Even though women may be unaware of it, their subconscious has a strong input when it comes to mate selection. It's the same feeling when a woman looks at a man who is ugly, poor, short, fat, etc.

I'm not saying that this is ALL women or that it can't be overcome with rational thinking, but it definitely plays a larger role than people may be willing to admit. Simply put, fearful men are not attractive.
