Question:
Are women more attracted to POWER or SWEETNESS?
2008-06-21 10:48:41 UTC
Again, I'm MOST interested in responses from independent, professional women.

Please do not assume that this is an either/or question. But I am assuming that these are distinct characteristics--"power" is a reflection of the man's innate confidence, leadership, etc., where "sweetness" is a reflection of his attentiveness, sensitivity, etc. That's what they mean to ME. Whatever they mean to YOU, assume that they are two separate traits; and the question is, which do you think women find MORE attractive?

One last note--I don't even mean which are more important in a long-term relationship, but which are more immediately attractive....

there both equaly important, but for someone like me, i'd see sweetness as a better characteristic, although confidend is wonderful.

It depends on what kind of power you're talking about. If it's money and sucess then unfortunately these days, because so many people want financial stability, alot of women are initially attracted to power. If you're talking about total power over a woman, then it would be sweetness. Myself, personally, I go for the sweetness. Hope this helps you.

Power, but what kind of power depends on the gal. A girl could like a man who uses his power to do good. Another girl, however, likes a man who dominates and just uses his power over anything he wants. Personally, I think a man with power who does positive things is worth it...which means the sweetness should come along with that power. ;)

both

girls melt in the hand of a guy who is sweet!

ugh! just OMG its true

puts smiles on girls faces that they cant control!

power attracts the girls who love a man who can control a work place!

but they fall head over hells for a guy who has both!

i think people find power more ATTRACTIVE tho

cause thats what theySEE and sweetness u have to find (possibly!)

so power!

I would say sweetness, power is a total turn off for me! Because if he has power, he thinks he can controll me and I don't put up with stuff like that

Okay, I guess you could call me an independent and professional woman. I find sweetness more attractive. Just remember to be yourself.
