Two way street?

It's funny how characteristics that we often proclaim being unique to females are often considered negatives in the males we date.

I was dating Andrew for close to 4 weeks when I noticed he embodied several flaws that drove me up the wall.

Too "texty."

Too concerned.

Too aiding.

Too needy.

These characteristics seemed too womanly for my liking and I had to end things before I found myself a clinger.

I got to thinking about gender characteristics and how this topic may be a one-sided street.

I mean, Andrew wasn't doing anything wrong in particular, but his feminine attributes made me gag. However, when women project themselves with more masculine traits in relationships, they seem more admirable; "stronger" if you will.

A woman who puts her foot down or seemingly has the upper-hand in the relationship seems to have it all.

Just a thought. Something I won't be giving Andrew a second time.
