If fairytales have taught us anything, it's that the lovely, long-haired and excessively feminine princess stuck in a castle can't wait for that moment when a big, tough, burly prince will come charging onto the grounds and whisks her faraway. Off they'll go into the sunset, like something out of "The Princess Bride," and they'll live happily ever after: the masculine burly man and his dainty feminine lady.
EliteSingles did some investigating to see exactly what type of men and women are most desirable by other men and women. Ready for the kicker that might make the machismo in you want to do a little soul-searching and revamping, guys?
According to the study, 76 percent of feminine women prefer feminine men when it comes to dating and eventually settling down. Sure, superheroes are great in theory, but even those tights that Superman rocked still aren't feminine enough to make the feminine-loving ladies swoon. Perhaps, women no longer feel as though they need to be saved or protected because, honestly, we got this; we can do it on our own.
