Hey Spawn,
I'm like that too, the cute thing really rocks my world and makes me a little insane, particularly cute, petite, with a nice ass. That's just too much to take.
The way I see it, when males and females are young they are pretty much the same, but when they grow up, the males change pretty drastically but the women retain more child-like physical characteristics like a cute face, less physical size, less body hair, high cheek bones, and a high voice. These are all sexual ques to guys. For this reason, I see it as no "genetic mistake" how men can be pedophiles (sad and sick as this is) since women and children tend to look somewhat alike. Just a side-note I wanted to share.
I don't know where you fit in on the "me man" scale either, but I can tell you about my own experience. For me, the transition from "love" to "dominate/protect" occured when I was about 23, but I'm one of those guys who has always looked much younger than he is, so I don't know if I was just a slow developer or what. Only recently have I become manly enough to grow think facial hair. Thing is, females retain that love emotion in full while for men it tends to wain shortly after puberty, much like the desire for constant sex (just an interpretation).
The question I would pose (since I can unfortunately see it coming) is what influence of society, or genetics, allows the male to go from a need to "dominate" to being "whipped" by his female, as so many of my friends get taunted by me for (even though I'd probably be worse, heh).
Good point. This is not something I considered cuz I am quite unwhippable, being the independent and head-strong freak that I am. I don't know why people went in this direction. In other primates, the males always dominate everything all the time. I suppose in that 5 or so million years since we shared a common ancestor with chimps we developed our own little traits that perhaps the other primates don't have at all.
Is this simply a result of a fully mentally developed woman in a relationship with a mentally younger male ("boy"), where the intricasies of the hunter/gatherer relationship is rendered meaningless my the one-sided strength of a member of the overall relationship, or a counter-evolutionary imposition of society?
It's got to be, but I'm not sure if it's actually counter-evolutionary. I watched a show on PBS recently about evolution, it was really cool. Something it concluded is that people have changed very little genetically in the last 50,000 years, instead, all our evolution has been in social, language, and techonology areas. The ablity to pass on info to our offspring and for them to expand/improve upon it and then pass it to their offsping is what really advanced us so incredibly far so fast.
What I was thinking was this: Male and females have a lot in common, so just as men have useless nipples, maybe females have the dominance urge as well (they have to dominate their children after all so it makes sense they'd have this desire). Since we men no longer rule by brute force like was the case not all that long ago (and it still goes on in some parts of the world, *shudder*), I think females are now better able to express their own urge to dominate. I don't see this as an environmental adaptation to ensure survial or anything, just something which has occured. Another way I look at is this: maybe it is an evolutionary mechanism. We went from a few dominate males fucking everyone to people paring off in (relatively) manogamous relationships (which helps to keep the peace and unsure more genetic diversity). Perhaps it became necessary for primative females to dominate their males a bit to get them to suppress their urge to try to slap around the smaller males and do all the females himself, something which become a no-no sometime during the accent of humans.
I have noticed that women have the urge to whip their men however. Maybe Lina can provide some insight into this desire. I get the feeling that women think they can "fix" men, change them into what they want them to be, and this is of course for the man's own good. I'll certainly never be like that, I'm sure of it, I'm just too much of a dom.
A word of advice I can give to all guys confidently is this: if you start dating a girl and she starts dictating what you do in your free time, what you wear, how you do your hair, what you eat, etc, then do the right thing and end it. From my experience, such females become chronic naggers and won't be happy with you unless you pretty much become a slave to them. This is not good. There are guys who do this to their girls too, but they are typically labeled "assholes", whereas a woman who does this is considered "strong, independent, demanding" (definitely not how I would describe them, that's for sure, hehe).
Anyway, interesting stuff. Do you think you'll ever be whipped like your friends Hoser? If so, how does that make you feel?
Lina, do you have this urge to "fix" (dominate) men? If so, why?
Something else, for the sake of discussion: From my experience, many many girls are emotionally straight but sexually bi. Why do you think that is?

If I'm not buying for other people, I'll just be buying for myself, so either way, I'm falling for the "system." I agree it sucks to feel obligated to buy presents for certain people, but I really get a lot of enjoyment out of finding the perfect gift for someone. And even if the season cheeriness is bullshit, it's still better than the ghetto attitudes I usually deal with around here. And I think deep down I'm just a cheesy housewife -- I get a kick out of pumpkin carving, christmas cookie baking, wrapping, decorating the tree, all that crap. 
I'm in a state of euphoria from Halloween through New Years. So screw all of you!
