i have been reading your articles all morning and want to comment on this one… it seems to tie in with quite a few of your others… which I have enjoyed reading. You certainly give food for thought. I am certainly trying to grasp where in this I fit. as a single father of two (my wife was that Narcisus type) and I guess I am that Beta male who is attracted to curvy women (not obese) regardless of thier breast size (i prefer c or smaller) am drawn more toward the wider hip than waist. and am drawn in by long hair. I find it sad that women want to appear masculine… I want to lynch these skinny hairdressers who purposely chop of a larger womans hair to make them look bigger!! I dont really know where Im going with this… anyway… I want to say how hard it is for a single father to meet a woman who will want to raise children not her own… especially now that Ive finally reached my 40’s the age of women Ive always found most attractive… most of the elligable women are enjoying their own empty nests (their own children in their early twenties) and which one of them want to suddenly take on a man with children still nine and seven. And now recently I have noticed a young girl maybe close to nineteen and very attractive. every time i notice her her eyes are on me and she seems to be attracted to me and I believe it is because of my children. I am mystified, but it just may be that she sees me as a stable provider and she may be considerring me for her designs. My only concern is that my Dr. Martins are one year older than her. Anyway… I am talking about attraction here… I feel it is a travesty how women are masculating themselves based on the western culture and media and femenist driven bias about “beauty” so to draw a comparison from celebrity… I prefer the curvy body type of say Kim Cardashian over the thin narrow hip body type of Cameron Diaz…. and am constantly astounded by the way most guys shun my taste and rather gawk at the skinnier more manly look of so many women. I think to myself what is wrong with these guys?? maybe it is they who are the betas and I am the alpha?? any way I have no doubts as to my ability to satisfy the curvy women as long as they aren’t taller than me (my personal preference is for women about 5’2″- 5’4″ ) But alas… they please must have that very outwardly feminine longer hair… having said that I like active women who have the personal drive to hike up a mountain if need be. does any of this make sense? : ) p.s. I really like the ideas you write…
