There is the question of women who go for guys of questionable ethics, and principles. The guy can be a "dick" to everybody else, as long as he treats her nice. This type of thing is more common than the abusive husband problem, and frequently the "Type A" and other aggressive types of guys breed more, sometimes with a number of willing partners throughout their lives. They could be welfare cheats or corrupt CEO??s, depending on where they come from. This is not the same thing as being "strong".

I'd like to attempt to convey to the younger guys here not to cave-in and adapt to becoming the type of man that is the popular ??standard? of positive feminine opinion. You have to be yourself. If they don??t accept this, then move on. It??s going to be lonely and rough sometimes, but it beats the hell out of what a lot of guys become when they??re stuck in the wrong relationship, or shacked up with someone that??s impossible to get along with. Being alone is better. Eventually, if you play your cards right, you'll hook up with a good person.
