I just talked with a law student, who has been together with a guy for several years. She just went through a period of questioning the long-term potential of the relationship.

So they decided to take a break, and she was going over in her mind -- shall I stay with him or break up? -- making lists of all the pros and cons. Amidst all this, she told me, "I kept thinking. We have had lots of conversations about our careers. He's a teacher, and he is fine with being a stay at home dad. So I was thinking: if I break up with him, I won't have that. How am I going to have a career? That was a big pro for me."

Heads up, guys. The new sexy. What do women want? Not the strong, silent type. They want a man who can feel, talk -- and help.
