^^^Just an opinion, but probably both. Your "strong" personality to mirror his idea of himself, and your nurturing personality to match his subconscious needs.

A lot of reasons. They want someone to take on the world with. They are in part looking for someone to play the role of their mother. They want someone they see as an equal. And since they are subconsciously afraid that they are inadequate, they probably view a "weak" woman as someone who would ditch them the moment all her friends and family turn against him (which he assumes will happen, though he doesn't realize this is because of his own fears of inadequacy).


I'm a female, but...the feeling of being like gods who can do anything and everything. It's the closest thing to being able to relate to someone anywhere on your level.

Most definitely both.
