Not intimidated at all, but pretty annoyed at how SOME of them make such a huge deal about it. Honestly, I liked it better when people didn't have such a huge chip on their shoulder, there's no shame in just being a woman, there's no reason to make sure the whole world knows how "independent" a person is, we all get it, and we're all sooooooooo impressed. whoa
There independent were independent and we both end up sitting at home insted of going out to dinner or something

I surely dont think we should be condemned for it. Im a single mom. Left my sons father when he was 2 as he wouldnt stop the drinking and drugging life style. He never did the child support thing. No i dont want sympathy! I did it.. i did it myself.. ive put myself through college, ive bought a place to call home, I drive a decent vehicle. My son never went without, but yes we did struggle. I am rather proud of myself for that.

I could have sat back, went on state aid... and did nothing my entire life... so ya... im kinda proud of me...who I am... and what I represent... thank you very much

You know the saying what attracts ... can later repel ... ???

Summary in a nutshell ... :wink:

PEOPLE (not necessarily men) can be quite drawn to fierce strength,
until the realization sets in that "this one won't reigned in and controlled" ...

Duplicitous dichotomy ... ohwell
This lady hit the nail on the head!!!!!! Men like my strength and independance until it no longer works for them.

A Strong and Independent Woman?


If she's strong enough to pick my ass up and toss me over a fence, Hell YES, she'll intimidate me.

Independent? Pffft! If she can handle it herself, have at it. If she obviously doesn't need ME, then I obviously don't need HER. Makes no difference to me. Be independent all you like, just do it from over there.

Not at all. Find that they are able to carry on intelligent conversations. Not to mention have self confidence.

There are different needs. I don't need someone to kill bugs, fix the plumbing or take out the trash - I can handle all that myself. I need someone to be my best friend, be there when I feel weak, love me even when I wake up with horrible bed hair, and call me out when I'm being a b*tch, lol.

I think some men are, however, those aren't the ones I want to be with. I want my equal. I don't need anyone to completely me. I just want someone to share my life with and that would have to also be someone strong and independent, dedicated, and honest.

IN my experience, I find that most of the men I attract or am attracted to like my independence, they also like it that I have a balance. I can be very dependent on some things and fiercely independent on others. I think I recently told someone.
I don't need you I want you to want and need me.

In my experience the answer is yes. Throw sexual into the mix and I can't keep em around.grumble
