Women have strong opinions about strong men, but unfortunately their strong opinions change from moment to moment. Women almost universally want a man who is a few inches taller than themselves, who makes more money than they do, and who is a few years older. They want the man to make them feel secure which means he can take charge. This of course all makes evolutionary sense. But sometimes they militantly want to be equal or take charge. It is a standing joke that the girl will say "I don't care" which restaurant, but then vetoes the boy's choices. This is all confusing to guys.
