I am sure that you’ve heard of, "love at first sight", or "opposites attract", or even heard the statement, "we had instant chemistry". If you’ve ever wondered if there was anything scientific to prove any of these declarations you may be surprised to learn that there are.

More specifically, women want a man that is a "nice" guy when it comes to issues such as marriage, raising a family, treating a woman with respect, but they don't want to marry a man who is so "nice" that he acts like a wimp, or can't hold his own. They also want to know that a man is "tough enough" to protect their woman if she is in a dangerous or threatening situation.
