Some days ago I heard this theory, which I haven't been able to disprove. It seems to explain what makes women tick, more than anything I've ever heard. My friend told me: women seek men with one or more serious flaws. Women have a biological predisposition to feel useful and needed (thus safe) as 'nurses'. They become the critical helper, not to be dumped, for they and only they can deal and heal her man's problems. To say that women want to compliment their man is an understatement. Women want to be their 'nurses' would be the correct statement according to this theory.
I have finally started to understand why women, so often, make terrible choices. ....and why ugly men marry... and why I, a single, successful male, am single at age 41, by having become too 'perfect' and independent. Women have nothing to nurse in me, from their point of view. Maybe if I cut an arm.... What do you guys think? -women shouldn't be able to answer this.
