			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the 21<sup>st</sup> century, women’s equality continues to thrive,  permeating all aspects of society and industry. However, there is one  area where women consistently have more power over men: the dating  marketplace.</p>
<p>In the dating marketplace, women have a distinct advantage over men  because of gender. The demands women face are not commensurate to the <em>extensive</em> requirements placed upon men. Consequently, dating is not an equal playing field.</p>
<p>If you’re a woman in the dating marketplace, all you have to do is  show up. That’s it ladies, that’s all you have to do; your presence is  the prerequisite.  Women are naturally alluring. The female mystique is  intriguing and intoxicating. Regardless of beauty, bank account, dress  size or shape, men love gazing at women while basking in their  femininity. In fact, regardless of sexual orientation, women love  looking at other women. Moreover, you could survey every woman in  America and they would tell you the same thing: not only do they dress  to impress men they dress to impress other women.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Several women have asked me why I write for <em>The Good Men Project</em>.  I never felt the need to explicitly articulate to women why I love <em>The Good Men Project</em>, until now.  In the wake of a comment left by a woman on my recent article entitled <a href="http://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/the-magnificent-appeal-of-masculinity/" target="_blank">The Magnificent Appeal of Masculinity</a>, I decided to write a retort defending myself, my husband, <em>The Good Men Project</em>, and every woman who enjoys unconditionally praising good men.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3584" title="The Good Men Project" src="http://www.thedatingmarketplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Good-Men-Project.png" alt="" width="300" height="223" /></p>
<p>I find it interesting that a blissfully happy wife can not celebrate her  husband, and his masculinity, without having to contend with feminist  fanfare.  In defense of <em>The Magnificent Appeal of Masculinity</em>, I wrote this article: <a href="http://goodmenproject.com/gender-sexuality/this-is-the-good-men-project-not-the-good-women-project/" target="_blank">This is The Good Men Project not The Good Women Project</a>.  There is nothing wrong with women celebrating honorable men.  I am not disloyal to women because I write about good men, and conversely, men are not disloyal to men if they honor women.</p>
