    What type of woman would men opt for, a damsel in distress or an established, self-sufficient lady

    which women are more preferred by men: (a) women needing emotional and financial assistance or (b) self-sufficient stable women, given that beauty, age and other factors are the same.

    Not a man but in my opinion a damsel in distress. They like to feel like heros.

    Thanks for the answer.

    Interesting question...

    As a woman, I've found that I've attracted different men according to which role I was playing at the time.

    Its interesting to see how other people have answered this question.

    I'd always go for the established woman. Hands down.

    Any intelligent, mature, and self-respecting man would prefer an independent, self-sufficient, and aware woman. Men today value and respect women who are their equal. It is less stress on the relationship when a man has a self-sufficient and... read more
