And the whole thing about a man not being good enough for a women if he is not attracted to her for the way she is ,is B.S. People that think that need to get over themselves. Sounds like someone had a "big mouth woman" they couldn't handle 
j/k  Like CarrieM said, everyone has a perference. Yours is pretty narrow though, I gotta say - how many demure chicks are there left in the world? 
Assertive Women UNITE!

I LOVE a woman who is outspoken and assertive. Nothing wrong with that! Of course, I think there is nothing wrong with a man being the same way.
There is, naturally, a point when assertiveness can be taken too far, and you become aggressive. So, if you're asking what is a turn on and what isn't, just remember to have control of yourself. No one likes an asshole. 
Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |

Out of curiosity, I'd like to ask where everyone personally draws the line between assertiveness and aggressiveness.
For me, assertiveness is speaking your mind, not backing down from your stance when it's important, putting action to word, and not changing yourself just to please someone else. Aggressiveness is being a dick for no good reason. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Aggressiveness is being a dick for no good reason. Pretty much Assertiveness is more matter of fact - this is what I think, this is what I'm gonna do, blah blah blah.
Aggressiveness has a negative connotation to it... or it CAN have a negative connotation to it (aggression can be too much, bullying, just downright evil) but assertiveness doesn't have that IMO...

I think aggressiveness and assertiveness were originally the same thing, or similar at least, but over time being aggressive became a negative thing. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |
