Modernly the very qualities that attract a woman to a given man become, in the course of time, what she most despises in him. The woman attracted to a man because of his strengths will ultimately find such attributes to be domineering, controlling, and manipulative. The woman who admires a man's sense of independence will eventually resent it as a tendency toward being distant and aloof. The nurturing caregiver looks for men who are like sparrows with broken wings that she, with her love, can nurse back to health. Ultimately, of course, junkies, weaklings, and losers don't make for a good long-term investment of anyones time. Even the most maternalistic of women will sooner or later discount them as parasites, pussies, or both.
