Der Waschlappen:

via Alles Evolution, Alexander Roslin:

*He is polite and rather anxious to please. He wishes always to do the thing which happens to be the proper thing at any given time. He never would think of initiating anything novel or starting out in a new and unexpected course. He likes very much to be with ladies, and ladies like him – in a way. He is a most useful creature and absolutely harmless, intended by Providence to carry wraps and rugs, to order carriages, to provide theater-tickets, flowers, bon-bons, opera-boxes and four-in-hands, according to his means and the position which he holds. He will call regularly upon a girl and in fact upon all the girls he knows, and he will keep it up for years, and it will never mean anything to him or to them, for he is essentially a tame cat…*

"der langweilige, liebe, beflissene, harmlose, nützliche Mann, ganz nett, ganz nützlich ... aber auch nicht ganz ernst zu nehmen, daher erotisch unspannend."

"A Wussy is a guy who feels that he needs to BUY or PAY FOR a woman’s attention and affection with gifts, dinners, compliments, and other forms of payment and flattery… because he can’t imagine that a woman would want to be with him just for HIM."
