I guess I really meant which impression is likely to attract you most in a prospective new partner:
Confident, strong (not necessarily physically) man
or,
Man who maybe seems a bit lost or difficult
?

Do I have to choose? I think I prefer people who aren't 100% self-actualized. They're just more interesting.

I don't think I've ever been with a man who looked after me. OK, I did once, and it didn't last very long. Maybe this is my problem with relationships, I should let men look after me more, they seem to like being the white knight. What is frightening is, that as "mad" as ILE perceives me to be, in my few long-term relationships, I've ultimately been the "sane" and "normal" one.

(It tends to work much better for guys who are deeply interested in and good at some pursuit -- usually an artistic one -- which sort of takes the heat off for not being a mammoth-slayer in conventional senses.)
I am with Nick on being attracted to strong / confident women, or anyway ones that are strong and confident in the ways that I'm not, which I tend to have lots of admiration for. The thing is, there are lots of types of confidence. It's a great and very complementary kind of confidence to have a woman like this tease you and chuckle in self-deprecating agreement and know that she finds you adorable / fascinating / worth looking after when necessary.
Nick, stop being me.

Blimey, that's me.
Isn’t that they way most men would describe themselves?
For the record, I find 'lost' men to be initially endearing but ultimately quite irritating. We're all a little lost sometimes but I think we should accept that as par for the course and get on with things. I just don't find heavily introspective people very appealing. I’m much more likely to be impressed by a confidant man – but a quiet confidence.
(We all have insecurities and issues but I want someone who is emotionally strong enough to sustain a relationship and doesn’t live with his head in the clouds. The most unattractive traits that I have seen in a partner were detachment and insensitivity to how he dealt with people. He didn’t really feel things – he didn’t become depressed because disappointment is what he expected and he could only cry if he could find a song to fit the mood. It has been some time since we were together but sadly, he and his imagination are still living a very unhappy and unfulfilled life together. I worry about him sometimes but he was so uncomfortable in himself, lazy and, as a result, cold that I just can’t bring myself to care.)
I certainly look for, in a partner, what I would like to see in myself so: quiet confidence, self-assurance, a good awareness of the people around me, gentleness and a nice tight bum..

You were reminding me of the kid from The Final Sacrifice.
and are you going to contribute in any useful way to this thread?
I initially didn't answer this because I thought the answer was a bit obvious. Isn't a combination of the two best? I don't think anyone wants an overbearing type that wants to take care of them all of the time, and I don't think most people want someone who needs taking care of all of the time. Of course, I could be wrong.
