"Teddy Bear" - Elvis Presley

Good afternoon peeps! Question: What is it about Teddy Bears that females like? Now I mean Teddy Bear both as the physical, stuffed toy ones and the metaphorical real ones. As a child and even into our teen-aged years, a lot of us females had some type of stuffed animal, doll or Teddy Bear that we hugged from time to time. It might have been for comfort, feeling secure or just to share secrets and imagined affection with. Some of us carried this fondness for stuffed animals into our adult lives and possibly even passed it on to our own daughters or sons. Upon entering adulthood, we might have transferred this affection to another type of Teddy Bear...a real man! Now, not all men qualify as Teddy Bears; they are a special breed. My definition of a "Teddy Bear" type of man is as follows: large or tall build, chocolate brown, cuddly looking, soft spoken; he exhibits a caring attitude as opposed to self-assured arrogance, and he aims to please his woman. Don't get it twisted though; he can hold his own against any man or (woman) and can be tough when the situation calls for it. He usually treats a woman with the utmost respect and tenderness, leading a certain type of female to take advantage of him. Once he is taken advantage of, he tends to distrust women for a minute, until he meets a trustworthy one again. When he does...look out! You are probably in for good love and caring! Certainly, my description is not the end-all-be-all of what a Teddy Bear is...it's just my opinion and definition. Disclaimer: Some Teddy Bears just play at it, so take my list with a grain of salt!
